On the beach! 3 br townhome @ Southbay by Florida Sunshine!
This fabulous townhome is the closest to the dune walkover of any at Southbay. It is less than 50 feet to our private protected beach! Yes, we own our beach at Southbay so there are never any access issues. It is so close that we don't even take a cooler, walking back and forth between our townhome and the beach for drinks, lunch and restroom breaks only takes seconds. We Include 2 beach chairs and an umbrella March 1-October 31.
Itâs Freshly remodeled with 3 bedrooms with 2.5 baths, including a brand new for 2025 master bath that is expanded for maximum space. It even comes with a private parking spot directly in front of the door. There is plenty of additional parking for additional cars, just a little further away.
All 3 bedrooms are upstairs and the living area is downstairs. The beach is right outside the back door.
The dune walkover and the beach are right off the patio and are just steps away. No streets or even parking lots to cross! Itâs grass straight to the boardwalk.
South Bay by the Gulf is a gated community and our beach is privately owned by the Southbay HOA. Beach access is restricted to just owners and guests. We have 2 pools, one about 10 units away and the other is on the north side of the lake. The tennis and pickleball courts are just across the parking lot from our front door. There is no longer a grill on the back patio. We have a park style grill in the grass now.
Pancakery, Chick fil A, Que Pasa and numerous other restaurants, shops, and attractions are within walking distance. We are in the middle of all the excitement!
Well behaved dogs are allowed after approval as long as they are house trained and do not get on any furniture.
Please tell us about yourself and your group when inquiring or requesting a stay. This is our 2nd home and we like to get to know our new friends. Neighbors on either side are full time residents.

Myself, my Honey, and a friend couple made our first trip to Destin! It was Amazing! The townhouse was perfect for a stay on the beach. Walk out the door and you are on the beach. We checked all of our boxes and were disappointed to have to go home.
Excellent location, just steps from the beach. The Condo was perfect for our family of five. It had everything thing we needed. It was close to restaurants and local attractions. Lonnie was great to work with, it made the experience even better. I would highly recommend this property if youâre looking to be close the beach!
Great location and very close to local restaurants and attractions. The beach was only steps away and the kitchen had everything needed to cook breakfast or a full dinner if needed.
This property had an excellent location for beach access and parking! It was perfect to come and go to the beach and around Destin. We loved having the beach set up as well- this is a huge perk! The one con worth mentioning is that there is no hair dryer to use!
We stayed in this condo for one month and it was wonderful. It is clean, well equipped and very close to the beach. The beach is beautiful with sparkling white sand. The owner is quick to respond to your questions or requests. You will enjoy your stay here!
We absolutely loved this beautiful home we were a 5 min walk to the white sandy beach. Home was Clean and Comfortable. We has a Wonderful Stay and would Consider Comimg Back Soon
Great beach 50 feet away. Unit is close to the gazebo which is a great place to have your morning coffee. Great flooring (no carpet) Walls are a beachy color (not dingy paint). Great owners to work with!
Overall we enjoyed the place. Floors downstairs not as clean as I expected them to be but I gave them a good mopping and all was good. The beds are a little hard for my liking and the master bed could be larger but Iâm used to a king size bed. The owners are absolutely amazing though and made this stay all worth it! Would definitely stay here again. They made the entire stay so nice. We were right on the beach and the beach set up was amazing. Definitely worth the stay for sure.
Our group had an amazing time. The unit had everything we needed plus more. The main reason I booked this trip was for the proximity to the beach, and didn't disappoint. Pour a cup of coffee, walk out the back door and in a few steps you are looking at the sunrise on the beach.
We will be back next year if they will have us!
We loved staying at this property mostly because the beach access was so close to the property. We would stay here and recommend again. The only thing we didnât like was that to get front row access to the beach you had to rent an umbrella and two chairs for $40 per day. You cannot go in front of the companyâs rental chairs to sit. We brought our own chairs and umbrella so we had to sit behind them. Other than this the trip was was great!
No College game day- no Wi-Fi or Television Friday through Monday
Would have loved to stay longer, but no Wi-Fi, so both my son-in-law and I couldn't get any work done, so we left Monday morning.
A Keurig coffee maker would be a nice addition to the kitchen.
The short walk to the beach was the best - the water is so pretty and the sand is the best we, as a family, have ever had!
We were a little disappointed that the floor and stairs had sand on them when we arrived - but we found the broom and swept it up! We feel for the money we spent the condo could have a few more updates in it - cookie sheets that are clean, measuring cup that shows all the measurements, just some small things that need paid attention to for all the renters! Would we return?âŠâŠYES!
The property is in a great location but the bedrooms are really small which in turn means small beds. Ceiling fan only in one bedroom. No night stands in second or third bedroom. Both bathrooms needed some repairs and the half bath had a bad place in the ceiling and was dripping. Not to mention the water from the sprinkler systems outside smelled like sewer. Wouldnât stay again.
Our stay in Destin was great. We had not been there before and we fell in love with the Gulf. We talk about the beach every day and we live at the Shore. One of a kind. We spent so much time at the beach that we did not allow for too many other activities. We will have to come back and do it again.
So many great restaurants close by and groceries were easy to obtain. We met a lot of great people; some we will keep in contact with.
The unit was wonderful and couldn't get closer to beach access. Having the chairs at the beach was soooo nice. The attendants knowing we were there, set them up for us every morning. Such luxury and convenience not having to haul a chair to the beach.
Thank you for having us and answering all of our questions. Would love to come back!!!
The condo is as described. Check-in was easy, the condo had everything for cooking and eating in. Location was fantastic, you just walk out the back door and it's 20 steps to the beach. The TV had streaming services which was nice at night for the kids. The only concern we had were the beds, as they were very uncomfortable and need to be replaced. You are in the heart of Destin, so getting anywhere in town is easy. Grocery store and shopping across the street. Beach was beautiful and everyone in the complex was very nice. Tennis courts were great. Communication with owner was excellent.
If you want to maximize your beach time this is a great place. We were only there a few days but it was perfect. About 50 steps and youâre on the sand. Find your complimentary chairs and umbrella and youâre set for the day.
Apartment was as described and great for us. We will look to see if their schedule fits ours next time we go to Destin.
We love the beach and love this cute little old Florida townhome condo that is right beside the dune walkover. You can't get any closer to the beach than this one!
