Just a block away from the sugar white sands and across the street from the community pool, you’ll find Lavish Escape, a three story home that’s perfect for large family gathering, friend getaways, work retreats, and joyous celebrations. Decked out in grays and muted blues with high-end furnishings, you’ll feel like a celebrity when you walk into this beachside paradise that features a chef’s kitchen, multiple balconies, 6 bedrooms, 5 full baths, and the amenities you crave on any beach trip. Park the car in your personal driveway and sink into Gulf living at this picturesque vacation haven.

Get your group situated in one of the many bedrooms, all featuring lush bedding, seating areas, flat screen TVs, balconies, and so much more. Marvel at the tile work in the spa-like bathrooms and get settled in your home away from home, then meet your group on the second floor, which features the open concept main living space. You’ll feel like you’re in an HGTV special with the kitchen’s custom white cabinetry, stainless steel appliances, and granite countertops. Enjoy coffee at the wraparound breakfast bar while you look out the floor-to-ceiling windows that give the space a truly welcoming feel or watch the sun come up from the balcony as your guests make themselves at home in living room. With space for eight at the dining table and various seating areas with great views, everyone will have the space they need to rest and relax on this Florida getaway.

After a restful sleep, head to the private community pool, take your private beach access to the turquoise sea, play 18 holes at one of Destin’s award-winning golf courses, shop until you drop at the outlet malls, or grab the group and head to the Village at Baytowne Wharf for delicious food and stellar drinks. Lavish Escape offers everything the name promises.

Great vacation house

We enjoyed our stay with multiple families in this house. We had all ages and the house was great for a meals with kids (at the bar) and adults (at the table). The set up of the house was perfect for us and we enjoyed the small community feel that came with this community in Destin. The beach was not crowded even though it was spring break and check in and check out was a breeze. We would definitely stay here again!

Very nice stay at Destiny by the Sea

Beautiful house. We enjoyed the large kitchen area which was great for preparing family meals. Proximity to the neighborhood pool was nice and a short stroll to the beach. Checking in and out was a breeze. All in all, one of the best values in Destiny by the Sea.

Very relaxing

The property was in a great location. Easy walk to the private beach and right across from the pool. We visited during spring break. This location allowed our older teens to walk and meet new people without staying on the main strip or heart of the parties. The neighborhood was quiet at 10 and the guards at the gate were always friendly. Would highly recommend!

This Home Lives up to its Name - Lavish Estate

Beautiful property that perfectly suited the needs of our family of 9. Location was very safe and a short walk to the beautiful beach. 3 levels means lots of stairs, but that provided some great exercise. Home was well appointed with just about everything necessary for cooking meals in and/ or barbecuing on the porch. Seating was comfortable, Wi-Fi was strong, and TV’s had plenty of channels. Great stay of a great property.

Luxurious Family Vacation

The home is very nice and decorated well. The living room and kitchen was big enough for all 13 of us. There is a beautiful view of the ocean from the 2nd and 3rd floor balcony. The private beach was my favorite amenity, because we didn’t have to fight the large holiday crowds for a good spot on the beach. I will definitely book this home again in the future.

Great place

We loved the location and the house was as advertised. We had an issue when the air conditioner didn’t work the first night but they got some one to fix it next day and then had dishwasher issues that took a couple days to get fixed. I do believe they did their best to get those things fixed as soon as possible. My feedback to the owners is around the bracelets for the swimming pool and private beach. There is a $25 charge per lost bracelet that are required to be worn yet slip off in the ocean. We lost a couple as kids played and they are going to charge us for them. I reached out and thought it was unfair to require bracelets to prove HOA compliance only to have bracelets that come off and get lost in the ocean. Also, the bracelets cost around 15 cents per bracelet, but they will charge us $25 to replace. I thought maybe I’ll order 100 of them and send them to the owners so they don’t have to charge future renters. I think they need to come up with a better system so it doesn’t feel like a way to get more money from their guests. It is a premium property and that is reflected in price of the house, It feels grabby to then charge us $100 to replace bracelets that probably cost under $1 to replace. Ultimately the $100 is peanuts in the scheme of things, but it just feels off. I hope this feedback is helpful for the owners.
