About this house rental

Welcome to Good Tides, your private beach retreat in the exclusive (and only) gated beachfront neighborhood in all of beautiful Destin!

100% FAMILY owned, loved, and operated - this 3 level... 4 bedroom, 3 full bathroom, and 2 half bathroom getaway with over 2,200 square feet of “beachy luxury” adds up to one perfectly spacious vacation getaway! Just 2 houses down from a "World's Top Beach," as voted on year after year after year, this family venture was named "Good Tides" by mirroring our family beliefs and outlook. We believe in adventure. We believe in the kindness and goodness in people. We believe in tuning our radios to "No Shoes Radio." And we believe in doing everything we can to make our guests feel as warm and welcome in our home as the bright Destin sunshine. From our family to yours: Come and stay!

You won't have to cross a single busy street during your entire vacation; just head 100 steps up the lazy private drive to your own beach boardwalk... and feel that baby powder sand under your feet. While you're at it, head either East or West down the beach to 2 of Destin's top rated beach restaurants. Leave those car keys in the dish!

Good Tides has all the space and luxury for up to 12 people to relax together, comfortably, and 3 parking spaces in the driveway. You are simply a short, 2 minute walk to your private sandy-white beach and the emerald waters of the Gulf of Mexico (never cross Scenic Highway 98, nor any busy street). Once on the sand, beach service makes things easy - you don’t even have to bring your own chairs or umbrella! You are also less than a 1 minute walk to your five-star resort with lounging, pool (heated during March for spring break, Thanksgiving, New Year's and Christmas), and hot tub. Whether you’re a beach enthusiast or planning your next family getaway, Good Tides is the perfect choice for your next vacation.

Relaxing inside Good Tides is easy. Your home offers updates throughout, including new living room and dining room furniture, new flat screen TVs (75" in the living room), and new vanities & countertops in all bathrooms! Brand new kitchen appliances were added in 2020 and a fresh coat of interior paint was applied in 2021. You can enjoy an open air dinner on the balcony, just off the kitchen, by grilling your "catch of the day" on our new 5-burner grill. Or, sit and relax with a book and cocktail on your upstairs balcony, 1 floor up, in the master bedroom. High speed internet, cable, and paid premium channels will ensure you and all of your guests are endlessly entertained.

The first floor features two guest bedrooms with queen sized beds, ceiling fans, and flat screen TVs. In addition to these guest bedrooms, the first floor offers one full bathroom, one half bathroom, a quiet patio, and a high efficiency washer and dryer - to ensure your beach towels are ready for your next trip out!

Next, take the stairs one level up to the main living area. No detail has been overlooked here! The fully equipped kitchen has everything you’ll need to feel right at home. With loads of countertop and cabinet space, cookware, dishware, and all major appliances, you’ll be able to create and serve your favorite family meals. The separate dining area seats eight at the table, comfortably, with additional seating for two at the custom breakfast bar. A full balcony off the kitchen houses a 5 burner grill for cooking out, plus room for 4 to enjoy dinner and drinks under Florida’s famous palm trees. The living room is the perfect place to gather and relax together. It features a cozy gas fireplace and brand new 75” flat screen TV. There is a newly updated half bath nearby, plus private wet bar; equipped with its very own wine chiller and mini fridge.

On the third level, you’ll find the oversized master retreat plus final guest bedroom. The master includes a flat screen TV, king size bed, oversized private balcony, and spa-like bathroom - with walk-in shower, double sinks, and soaking tub. The third-floor guest bedroom also has a flat screen TV and can accommodate up to six in comfort with two full beds and a set of twin bunk beds. A full bath and small private balcony complete the upstairs.

We would love to share our beach home with you and your family. We pride ourselves on making sure you have the time of your lives at Good Tides, a family loved and owned venture.

We are a group of 10, grandparents, parents and 4 grandchildren. The beach and pool are a short walk. Home was clean and comfortable. The only suggestion have is more seating in the family room. It sleeps 12 comfortably but seating for family time in the evening is limited.

We absolutely love this private beach- so peaceful with beautiful water and soft sand. Great neighborhood in a gated community. House was a short walk to the beach entrance and no busy road to cross!

We loved the house and location! It was so easy to get to the pool and beach. The host was easy to communicate with and was extremely helpful when it came to planning our stay. We would love to come back and I would recommend this house to my family and friends.

We had a wonderful stay and loved Destiny by the Sea. We contacted the property owner via email and text about there being only 6 bracelets when we arrived and never received a response.

Home was well supplied with what we needed to cook for ourselves and how the bedrooms were arranged. Great to have bathrooms for each sleeping areas plus on the main floor. We loved the block and 1/2 off the beach and 30 second walk to the swimming pool. We were grandparents with our 2 daughters, their spouses and their 3 children each all 6 and under. We would definitely stay here again.
