The towering Sea Horse villa promises an outdoor adventure every day. From its close proximity to the glistening sands along the Gulf of Mexico to the private, walled-in pool/hot tub area, the prospect of a ride on a nautical equestrian won’t seem so far-fetched! This Destin, Florida, three-story vacation rental is conveniently located in the Destiny by the Sea gated community along Scenic Highway 98, and is perfect for a large group.

The cozy décor will remind you of home, and a convenient elevator will make transitioning from floor to floor effortless.

Bunk beds and a game room will delight the children, while the adults will enjoy the large-screen TV in the comfortable living area or a rousing game of Foosball in the game room. The living area also has a sleeper sofa. The beautiful indoor fireplace is meant for visual enjoyment only and is not intended for guest use. The game room has a small fridge and microwave, handy for drinks and snacks. The spacious kitchen is equipped with everything you’ll need to enjoy fresh seafood, so bountiful year-round; plus, a grill will easily ensure outdoor cooking. There is an expansive open-concept dining area, plus countertop seating. In addition, the extended balcony offers the option of dining outdoors while enjoying the coastal breeze, or eating poolside is another perfect option.

There are five bedrooms and five and a half baths, so everyone will have privacy. There are two primary king bedrooms with a soaking tub, shower, and one has double vanity. Plus, a private balcony, extending across the property’s width, provides just the right touch for early morning coffee, an afternoon drink, or to enjoy the phases of the moon and sun.

Destiny by the Sea offers two private beach accesses, a community pool with hot tub, as well as lounging area surrounded by beautifully manicured grounds. Dining and shopping options are numerous as well as golf, tennis, biking, boating and water sports.

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.

We had plenty of space for 11 people. Very convenient walk to the beach. Having a private beach is def the way to go. The pool and pool area needed some extra attention

We enjoyed our stay at Sea Horse in Destiny by the Sea. The location is great—the house is a very short walk to the beach and community pool. The house is very spacious, bedding is comfortable, and the elevator is an added convenience. Having an ice machine and two small refrigerators in addition to the main one in the kitchen is so helpful in keeping drinks cool. This property has ample room for four cars, which was a must for our family. Destiny by the Sea is our favorite place to stay in Destin and Sea Horse is a beautiful house with many amenities. The FunVacay team made booking easy and were great to work with. We had one maintenance issue, and FunVacay quickly sent a repairman to address the issue. We had a wonderful week!!

Great house and location. Have stayed at this same house now 5 years and this is the 3rd different management company. Had a maintenance issue that was addressed quickly. Furniture is outdated and some is in poor condition - kitchen bar stools. Upstairs bedroom carpet needs to be replaced.

We loved the house and its location! We have stayed at this home before and would do so again in the future.
My only issue was that the kitchen was not well equipped. There were not enough spoons/forks for our party. less than 10 or so of each, but 30+ butter knifes. Also the cookware was difficult to use as most of the handles were very loose and the finish flaking off.

Manager's Response

Hi Katherine, We are extremely glad to hear you enjoyed your stay and will be back for a future stay! All kitchen utensils and cookware are being restocked this week so you will have just what you need for your next visit. We look forward to welcoming you back.
