About the Community:

Located along Scenic Highway 98 on the Emerald Coast in Destin, Florida, this premier, Gulf-front, gated community has 24-hour security as well as a pristine, private beach. This private community association has contracted with Sun, Sand and Sea for beach service rentals, which includes beach chairs and beach umbrellas. Personal tents, umbrellas, baby tents, tarps, and canopy setups are not allowed per the association rules. Outside golf cart rentals are not allowed per the association rules. Wide walking and bike paths add to the ambiance of touring the area. Plus, guests can enjoy a lavish community pool and hot tub. The pool bathhouse includes changing rooms and showers for your convenience. Next door to this luxurious neighborhood is The Crab Trap. Its location is perfect for purchasing food and drink to enjoy while on the beach.

This area of Northwest Florida is very proud and protective of the natural environment. Guests are asked to use the beach walk-overs in order to protect the sand dunes. Also, please do not disturb the nests of sea turtles, which are quite prolific in the area. For your safety, be sure to be aware of the Flag Warning System, which is also accessible by text.

To learn more about times past, the Destin History and Fishing Museum makes a great stop on your vacation. While there, you’ll learn interesting tidbits like: What makes the sand so white? And speaking of fishing, charter boats are available nearby at the Harbor Walk Marina.

Throughout the year, arts and entertainment options vary with the Sinfonia symphony orchestra, the Emerald Coast Theatre Company, and many other activities and special events.

Ok trip

We were not told we couldn’t bring our personal golf cart, so for first night we had to leave it at crab trap restaurant overnight. And I had knee surgery not to long ago, and was not able to use elevator, due to be broken half the time we were ther. And my husband got stuck in it also..

Forever Destin

I’ve. Stayed in other properties in Destin, Fl This one is in my top 5. The neighborhood is in an excellent section of the beach community. You can drive, but if you like to get your walking in.. the outlet mall is technically in walking distance and other amenities around the area. The property itself is extremely clean and very spacious on all floors. The Hot tub and swimming pool were heated BEFORE we arrived! (This is always a plus) We only had two problems which were handled immediately through the app and a service tech was there within a few minutes. I can’t say enough about the surrounding privacy fence! Great layout. I also liked the full time gate attendant. You can’t just walk in or drive through the neighborhood. It’s gated! We felt secure. In Short. PLENTY of SPACE! Great sized rooms and excellent service! 5 out of 5 experience. I think you can always feel safe in a gated neighborhood with very high in cars in the driveways…. lol. Great Spot!
