A joyful life begins with a beachFULL life at Ain’t Life a Beach? – one of Destin’s luxury beach rentals. This three-story Mediterranean-style beauty is in the much-sought-after Destiny by the Sea community. Just a short stroll to the sugar-white sands of the Gulf, you’ll enjoy private beach access and a complimentary beach closet with everything needed for fun at the shore.

A grand staircase separates the cozy living area from the dining space, so people can sit and chat while watching TV, or get fully immersed in the meal prep in the well-appointed kitchen. There’s ample banquette seating or stools at the breakfast bar overlooking the expansive kitchen. The oversized gas stove/oven is a chef’s delight, and the other stainless appliances were designed to accommodate a crowd.

Ain’t Life a Beach? has two elegant primary suites with king beds and ensuite baths. Choose from a soaking tub or walk-in shower as part of the relaxing comforts. There are also two guest bedrooms, one is a king, with ensuite bath, and the other features a bunk room that sleeps six, perfect for kids (or kids at heart) in your party.

It will be hard to tear yourself away from the private courtyard with its invigorating pool and calming sheetfall feature. But at the end of the day, that’s where everyone can gather for a cool beverage on the patio to enjoy tasty meals from the gas grill.

A short walk away, there’s a community pool and hot tub, with plenty of loungers. But there is also much to enjoy along Scenic Highway 98. Guests are just minutes from fine dining restaurants and unique boutiques. Other amenities include golf, tennis, biking, boating, and water sports to suit every age.

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.

To find out what’s going on during your stay, the Destiny by the Sea Owners Association FB includes lots of fascinating information on this quaint area.

We had a wonderful stay at this home. The home was very clean and perfect for our family of 5. In fact, there is definitely space for 10 in this home. The home is decorated nicely and stocked with virtually every utensil you could imagine. It even has an air fryer. The kids absolutely love the pool.

The service was excellent. We left a caricature drawing that we had drawn of our children. I emailed FunVacay and they immediately responded and were kind enough have it delivered to me.

We’ll definitely be back to this property.

Manager's Response

Hi David, Thank you so much for your wonderful review! We're thrilled to hear that your family had a great stay and enjoyed all the amenities, especially the pool and the air fryer. It's great to know that the home felt spacious and comfortable for your family of 5, with room for even more.

We're also glad we could help reunite you with your children's caricature—it was our pleasure to assist! We look forward to welcoming you back for another fantastic stay in the future. Safe travels!

Big family with enough room for everyone. stairs but that allowed for separation of individual guest rooms for additional privacy. Close to beach access and chair rental. Beach was closely secured with a lot of beach privacy. No big crowds as they non-renters in Destiney by the Sea were kept out. Close to restaurants and shopping.

Manager's Response

Thank you so much Danny for your 5-star review! We're delighted to hear that your big family found plenty of space and enjoyed the privacy of the individual guest rooms. It's great to know that the close beach access, secure and private beach area, and nearby restaurants and shopping added to your experience. We hope to welcome you back to Destiny by the Sea soon for another wonderful stay!

The location was perfect, private and secure, gorgeous beach, lovely home. The beach service sets up your chairs and umbrellas, you can reserve prior to the trip. The home was clean and nicely appointed. Guests should bring paper towels, detergent, soap, dish soap, trash bags, etc. There are no additional amenities, spices, etc. We would definitely stay in this area again.

Manager's Response

Hi Lauri, We are so glad you liked our beautiful home (in the private, exclusive gated community of Destiny by the Sea)! Every home is stocked with a starter amenity package of paper towels, dish soap, sponge, dishwasher soap, laundry detergent, shampoo, conditioner, lotion, bathroom soaps, toilet paper, Starbucks coffee, creamer, sugar, salt, pepper, and bottled waters. Unfortunately, following COVID, we do not leave open spices in our homes. We hope you stay with us again!
