Gulf Front, Pool, Hot Tub- 2 Kitchens - Gated Community in Destiny by the Sea

* Gulf front
* Private pool
* Warming pool overlooking beach
* Gulf views from several balconies and rooms
* Two kitchens
* Fully stocked kitchen
* Outdoor grill
* Spacious common area with ample seating
* Gated community in Destiny by the Sea
* Free wifi
* Four parking spaces
* Complementary Bicycles (2)
* Close to dining, shopping, activities, and entertainment
* Home is stocked with Starbucks coffee pack, creamer, sugar, bottles of water, and a starter amenity package with a roll of paper towels, dish soap, sponge, kitchen wipes, dishwasher soap, laundry detergent pods, pillow spray, shampoo, conditioner, aloe, lotion, bathroom soaps, and a roll of toilet paper in each bathroom.

Aptly named for being “by a beautiful sandy beach,” this Destin luxury beachfront rental—Spiaggia Bella—is for the guest who delights in pure indulgence. When you enter the dramatic foyer, you’ll feel as if you stepped into a European chateau with its vaulted ceilings. The dramatic, winding staircase will immediately grasp your attention. However, an elevator will make transitioning from floor to floor more convenient. Not to be missed, because it’s quaintly tucked underneath the staircase, is a comfy trundle bed, perfect for secluded napping or a reading nook.

Six bedrooms and six and a half baths span the three floors, including a bunk room. Most bathrooms offer pure extravagance with walk-in showers, Jacuzzi tubs, and plentiful counter/sink space.

What’s most unique about this luxury rental is that it has two … yes, count them … TWO kitchens. The first is on the ground floor and would be perfect for a family with small children. However, the main kitchen is on the second floor. It features a gourmet chef’s dream with Viking appliances and a wraparound breakfast bar. Dining alfresco on the balconies is another option for guests, and a grill is provided.

Sink into the overstuffed chairs and sofas in the living area to enjoy flat-screen TV. The beautiful indoor fireplace is meant for visual enjoyment only and is not intended for guest use. Of course, there’s a wet bar to complete your entertainment options. But the breathtaking visions of the Gulf will captivate you from various views carefully positioned all over the home.

All bedrooms are tastefully decorated, but on the third floor, there’s a four-poster Plantation king that overlooks the Gulf. But it’s the third-floor primary bedroom that most will covet, with island-inspired décor and sliding-glass doors that lead onto the balcony. There are floor-to-ceiling windows to ensure glorious sunrises beckon you down to the shore. It also includes an efficiency kitchen. A chaise lounge enhances the seating area for complete relaxation.

As if being beachfront weren’t enough, you will also enjoy your own private pool. As part of the Destiny by the Sea community, you may use their community swimming area. This spacious outdoor reserve has a large pool, hot tub, lounge chairs, and a shaded area for more intimate groupings.

Private beach access concludes the original meaning of the name of this palatial rental opportunity, just steps away from the pristine, “singing sands” of the Emerald Coast.

Girls Birthday Get-Away

This rental is very spacious for our group of 16 women, coming from 3 states, to celebrate 3 birthdays. Beds were very comfortable and the 2nd floor main kitchen was pretty well stocked. It was nice having the extra kitchen and refrigerator on the first floor. It was also nice having 3 decks, we used them all, especially enjoyable for coffee in the morning or at night with a breeze and just listening to the water on the coastline. We had a few issues arise while there but the management company got right on it. There were 4 beach chairs for our use but we brought 10 ourselves in our 3 minivans. The beach is narrow so we didn't have to carry chairs far. You could rent 2 chairs w 1 umbrella from the company on the beach. Highly recommend renting a pontoon boat w Capt. to take your group (no more than 10) to Crab Island - we needed two boats.

Great beach house

We had a fantastic stay with our whole family. The easy access to the beach just down the walkway and the views of the ocean from the mail balcony were huge pluses for our group.

Great week

The house is right on the beach, very convenient.The house was nice and clean. The kitchen was very good with sufficient amount of cooking utensils and plates/glasses. All rooms were well kept with fans in every room. The AC was good. The master bedroom and bath were great. Everything was perfect for our family needs. A few items needed attention from maintenance and they were taken care of quickly. The outdoor furniture padding were dirty and the outdoor grill was functional but ugly. Everything else was great and I would stay here again.
