Palm Haus at Southbay | 3 BR • Gated Private Beach • 2 Pools
Welcome to Palm Haus — Your Coastal Retreat in the Heart of Destin
At Palm Haus, you’ll instantly feel the relaxed beach house vibe while still being close to everything that makes a coastal vacation unforgettable. Located in the family-friendly Southbay by the Gulf community, this spacious 3-bedroom, 2.5-bath townhome comfortably sleeps up to 10 guests and offers the perfect blend of tranquility, comfort, and convenience.
Right outside your door, you’ll find one of two large community pools (heated during winter months!) — ideal for a refreshing morning dip or a relaxing afternoon by the water. A short 5-minute walk along the property’s private path leads you to the neighborhood’s exclusive beach access, complete with a charming bridge that crosses over a small lake where turtles often bask in the sun. It’s peaceful, picturesque, and even offers catch-and-release fishing for those who love to unwind with a rod in hand.
Stay Active & Play Under the Florida Sunshine
Guests love the newly refinished tennis and pickleball courts, a favorite gathering spot for friendly matches and family fun. Whether you’re a seasoned player or just trying something new, it’s the perfect way to spend an afternoon outdoors.
