About this apartment rental
Beautifully remodeled condo ON THE BEACH ( like it’s on the sand so authentically beachfront ) 🌈☀️🏖! This is one of the least obstructed views EVER 👀 and for sure one of the largest balconies in all of Destin. The building is one of the closest to the water and the balcony is nearly 3 times larger than the typical Destin high rise size, so you really just can’t get a better view than this one!
The condo is 1147 feet and is located in the Aegean complex on Holiday Isle. It is completely updated and has a HUGE balcony overlooking a beautiful private beach. The unit is on floor 2, so you get an ocean view without being so high up ( especially if you have crazy kiddos who may take sibling fighting to the next level 😜).
It has two large bedrooms and two full bathrooms. The Master has a King bed ( effective 2/15/22) before this date it is a queen, bedroom two has two full-size beds, and the living room has a queen-size sofa bed. It sleeps 8 very comfortably.
The open concept design is amazing for entertaining and both the living room and Master bedroom has floor-to-ceiling sliding glass doors with an unobstructed ocean view! Yep, the master and the living room both have super large floor-to-ceiling sliding glass doors and open to the bomb balcony 🙌! I mean you need to get your vibe right when you start the day on Vacay!
Both bathrooms are renovated with custom tile walk-in showers and the bedrooms are very large. There is new flooring throughout, so it’s crisp and clean and allergies are not as big of a problemo. 🤧😵💫🤧
The kitchen is completely renovated with granite, new stainless appliances, and an island and bar area. It is set and ready to grill your daily catch🎣🎣🎣, or you can cook outside 🧺at the poolside bar area! Either way, you overlook the white sands and crystal clear waters of the Gulf! 🧜🏻♀️
The Aegean is one of the few complexes in a very restricted residential area (Holiday Isle). Like 30-A, it’s less crowded, but it is much closer to all the activities in Destin since the summer traffic is significant🚘. It’s like a skip from everything Destin, including Big Kahuna, crab island, and the tracks. It is less than a mile to Louisiana Lagniappe and since it is in a mostly residential area a great place to stroll or ride bikes to grab a bite.
One of our favorite things really is that the balcony overlooks the ocean only, so it feels super Zen and relaxing. It has a great pool, tennis courts, and other outdoor amenities ( all located behind the amazing ocean view because we can look at a pool anywhere 🏖🙌🏖).
Ok, I know I’m rambling the balcony is legit and like 3 times larger than any we have seen in Destin, and before purchasing this one we went for about 20 years. We bought it for the balcony. 🙌🙌🙌 It’s huge and way closer to the beach than most.
If relaxing on the … “balcony 🤣” while enjoying the view is your jam, you will not find it better than this. I think they designed this prior to realizing it’s more profitable to have small narrow balconies and sell more. 😜
The living room is huge. We have lots of game’s stocked from texas hold’em to monopoly. Tennis rackets are in the room to share and a few yoga mats are in the closet to zen up. 🧘♀️
The washer and dryer are located in the unit, and since it’s such a small complex, you can park at the door and don’t have to deal with long elevator waits. We have two spots available. ( ugh large complex elevator waits and parking are the worst 😩)
It’s amazing! You will feel like you wandered into a quiet island while in the middle of one of the most happening locations on the coast. This zen little retreat is still close enough to jump right into the action 💃 of all Destin has to offer! It really is the best of both worlds.
If you fish, it’s 3.2 Miles from the Destin Marina. It’s quirky and quiet and close to fishing and fun. FREE snorkeling is a quick beach walk to the jetties less than a mile away!
Bring bikes, scooters, and rollerblades because the quiet and restricted area has sidewalks throughout and is such a great place to get out and be active. ( there is a bike storage place in parking lot )

The building HOA provides private security daily until midnight and access to the beach is gated and private. ✔️🏖✔️
We love it and hope you love it also!

If you are looking to rent baby supplies for your trip so you do not have to pack as much, we are set up with the local service below. It’s a super cool company, we saw on shark tank, so it may be way more convenient than packing the supplies. We do not inspect or oversee any items or the company’s delivery personnel, but each option has reviews and information if you decide to book.

About Holiday Isle
The peninsula of Holiday Isle is a prized property in the Destin area. It is only a few miles in length, bordered by the Destin harbor on the north and the Gulf of Mexico on the south side. A group of property owners banded together and successfully protected their beaches for themselves and kept their beaches PRIVATE! About two-thirds of Holiday Isle’s private beach is between the only two HI IA-only accesses.

We enjoyed our visit so much. The condo is gorgeous and very well appointed. We've been visiting for over 40 years and this was one of the nicest condos we've stayed in. Kitchen was well stocked, beds were comfortable and the view!! Owner was responsive before and after our visit. Thank so much!

Property Manager, Nikki, was fantastic to deal with in regards with this property. She included very detailed emails, videos, and texts before the vacation and during.
The magnificent views from our living room, bedroom, and balcony were just breathtaking. The location from the condo to the ocean was amazing!
The pool was clean and warm, the parking was very close, and the condo itself was updated, clean, and comfortable.
I highly recommend this property and hope to stay here again!

We have stayed at this complex before, so the epic location was no surprise. What was especially awesome though was the host. Check in? She texts you directly. No answering machine, no management company - direct. This, to us, is invaluable. The place was also unbelievably clean, nicely stocked, etc. Zero complaints! We’ll be back!

I can’t say enough good things about Nikki and this property! She made everything so easy and I felt like I was talking to a friend! She went above and beyond before and during our trip to help us with all our questions! The property was beautiful and had everything we needed plus some.
Thank you for a wonderful experience! Hope to be back soon!

I’ve been going to the Aegean 30+ years. It is always fabulous. This condo was exceptional. The owner, Nikki, is wonderful and accommodating. Will always try to book with her first! Thanks for a great trip, Nikki!

Beautiful beach, awesome view - great balcony. Quiet part of Destin.
5.0
The condo was beautiful, clean, and had everything we needed for our family. It is right on the beach, which was just what we wanted, but still close enough to restaurants and stores and boat rentals. The beach is private so you don’t have any overcrowding issues. We will stay here again, and again, and again!

Everything exactly as described, and all interactions with the owner were great. Would definitely come again!

A wonderful location, Holiday Isle is the best in Destin. Enjoyed the private beach just for the Aegean as the other properties are bigger and much more crowded. Unit was great for 4 people. It was comfortable, and the patio was spectacular. Will be back!

We had a wonderful stay at the Aegean. The condo was exactly as described in the listing. It was upgraded and clean. Had a fantastic view and easy access to the beach. Beach was not crowded. Plenty to do in the area with minimal driving time. Owner was easy to communicate with and check in and out process was extremely easy. Would definitely stay here again.

We had the best vacation we’ve ever had. The condo was beautiful and so cozy! The view from the balcony was amazing. During our stay the dolphins were putting on a show! Every day we were there we saw many dolphins jumping and swimming in the ocean. It was awesome! I would recommend this condo to anyone!

We had a wonderful stay! Place was spotless. Washer and dryer makes everything better on vacation. Owner was easy to contact and so sweet! She had chairs and toys for the beach also! Will definitely try to book again for next year! Been staying at The Aegean for over 30 years. The best memories. Beach is the best also. Not overly crowded and crazy.
5.0
Gorgeous property and location. We tried other beaches but always thought the condo’s beach was the best. This condo has spoiled us, we won’t be staying at a “cheaper” place again! Nikki, the owner, was very organized with the information she sent and was a great asset. If we had had any problems (we didn’t) I wouldn’t have hesitated to let her know because we knew she would happily assist us. And the refrigerator in the unit is the envy of all other fridges. 😀

We rent through VRBO a lot. This owner was well organized and super helpful. The condo was very nice, the views from the balcony are gorgeous. Lots of extra touches - big fluffy towels, stocked kitchen, extremely comfortable beds, and tons of extra big soft blankets. We were close to grocery stores, shopping, and kid activities. We would definitely stay here again.

We had a great time! Your condo is so nice, and so well appointed with anything a vacationer might need. The appliances were very nice! We have never stayed in a unit that had a kitchen as well equipped as yours. Plus, you had it stocked with nice things, not junky leftovers! We had plenty of towels and washcloths! The unit was very tastefully decorated. The beds were comfortable and bathrooms were clean! We value your high expectations for cleanliness and keeping surfaces germ free! It was also nice that we could leave the unit without having to do a lot of chores! Nikki made the reservation and check-in process seamless! We appreciate all the restaurant tips you gave us! The view and the beach were wonderful! Thank for exceeding our vacation expectations!

This property is amazing! It's about as close to the beach as you can get without actually standing on the beach. The owner did a great job of explaining all of the features as well as local attractions. Property was fully equipped, clean/well-kept, and very spacious. The beach area wasn't crowded and the chair/umbrella service was always ready.
Communication was awesome – Nikki was responsive to all of our questions before, during, and after our trip.
It is a wonderful place to stay and if given the opportunity would definitely rent from again. We loved it! 5-star!!

The beach was not packed which was nice ! We will definitely be back ! Thank you Nikki for making our stay easy and enjoyable!

Will Be Back
(Here’s a little back story.)
We owned at the Inlet Reef for years and absolutely love being on the island.
We have always admired the Aegean property. We have relatives there and visited the property but never stayed.
This was a game changer!
We thoroughly enjoyed this property and unit!
The balcony view is perfect. The pool and grill areas are so well maintained. The sleeping accommodations were perfect for our family of 5. Each room had everything one would need.
Plenty towels. Extra blankets. Great cookware. The extra thoughtful touches (beach “gear”: two chairs w umbrella, beach toys, Bluetooth speaker and waterproof bucket) made easing into our beach days so relaxing.
Perfect Unit, Perfect Property, Perfect Beach, Perfect Location,
Thank you for your hospitality and opening your home away from home to us.
Sincerely
The Hidalgo Family

Wonderful
We really enjoyed our stay at this property. The location, view, cleanliness and communication can't be beat!
The beach is a VERY short walk, down some stairs and out the boardwalk. And the view of the beach is amazing if you prefer to relax on the oversized balcony. Peaceful either way.
It is also extremely convenient to grocery, gas, restaurants, tourist shopping, day to day shopping, water park, etc.
Communication was also top notch! Nikki sent details and instructions far in advance so you feel super prepared for your vacation. She was easily available throughout our trip, even before it began. We can't say enough great things about her!
Thanks for a great stay Nikki!

Perfect Relaxation
This condo was perfect! Exactly as described and pictured. It has been done very nice! The location is great! Not a huge complex, so the beach was not packed; which was excellent and what we were looking for!
The owner communicated before, during abs after the stay! She was great and very friendly!
Will be booking again in the future!!

Summer Vacay
Our stay at Nikki's condo was great! Holiday Isle is a perfect nestled community, especially if you like space for your LO to run and play. The beach it NOT overcrowded! We were there for 6 days and each day there were only one row of beach chairs!
The description of the property is 100% accurate. The view off of the large spacious balcony is beautiful!
The condo is well stocked and the rental process is extremely easy.
Thanks so much Nikki, you made our first visit to Holiday Isle an incredible one!
