This place is amazing. So spacious and plenty of room for the kids. Its very convenient with being so close to the beach and the waterhose on the back patio. There were plenty of toys and beach chairs to use. It was very simple and clean. I cant wait to book again.
Amanda - host, was amazing! The place was nice and conveniently located. Lots of amenities. Only “complaint” was the air conditioner is a little hot but we like it cold. Nothing unbearable. Would stay here again for sure! Love Destin.
There were 5 of us adults, my 6 yo, and my 2 yo traveling. The check in was easy, the home was perfect and met all of our needs, the kitchen was spacious, and it was the best place to come and relax after a fun day at the beach! Was walking distance to so many places (beach included) and there were toys, umbrellas, a cooler, and any beach need you could have! Would definitely recommend to any larger groups/families. Our children (6 and 18) geeked out over the bunk room. We will for sure stay again next time! Love , love, love!!!

Thank you Emily and family, I’d love to host you again!
This town house if perfect for a family of 10 . The only complaint is it stayed allittle warm inside for us. When we reached out to our host she put the unit on 70 degrees. We had an issue with tiny tiny ants every where inside the towmhouse so we just kept everything in the freg EVERYTHING.

I was not informed of any pest issues, but I respond as soon as I find out of any issues and get them fixed asap! We have active pest control services for the exterior and interior of the units.
HVAC technician recommends 72 daytime and 70 nightime main thermostat, but both upstairs bedrooms have individually controlled AC units that can be controlled down to 61.
Condo is clean and comfortable. Great bunk bed room for the kids. Only thing is the tv in the main bedroom would not work due to limited internet. Other than that everything was great. Everything is close by in car. Restaurants walking distance. Beach is walking distance but you have to pay $30 for 2 chairs and an umbrella so we went to Walmart, bought umbrellas and drove to Henderson Park. We had a lovely time.

Thank you for your review and suggestions. All of the beach equipment is stored in the outdoor closet including wagon, beach chairs, umbrella, toys, etc. I’ll be sure to remind guests of this. The master tv should be in working order, but sometimes the internet gets overwhelmed in Destin due to high tourist influx from around 30k residents to over 100k usage in summer. Sorry for inconvenience, I hope that you’ll return for your next vacation!
This was the perfect spot to have our girls trip weekend. Just a short walk down the boardwalk to the beach, and super close to all attractions.
The mexican restaurant next door was not that great, but that has no bearing on this property.

About the host
Hosted by Amanda
I love hosting families and helping them create memories that last a lifetime. Destin Garden Oasis combines a peaceful garden setting with easy access to restaurants, shops, and the beach, making it the perfect retreat from busy day-to-day life.
I’ve lived in Destin for over 15 years, and I enjoy exploring the area and sharing my favorite local spots—from hidden gems and family attractions to the best places to eat and relax.
Inside the townhouse, you’ll find beach chairs, a wagon, and toys for fun days on the sand, plus indoor entertainment like a telescope, books, games, and magazines for quieter moments.
My goal is to make every stay comfortable, convenient, and memorable, with thoughtful touches for families, kids, and eco-conscious guests alike. I’m always happy to provide tips or recommendations so you can experience Destin like a local and enjoy every moment of your vacation.
Why they chose this property
I chose this neighborhood for its perfect mix of convenience, comfort, and community. The townhomes offer direct access from the parking lot, which makes coming and going easy—especially with kids or beach gear.
One of my favorite things is the community of full-time residents who look out for each other and help keep the property safe, beautiful, and welcoming. It’s a place where families can relax, enjoy the gardens, and feel completely at home.
Guests also love being just a short walk from the beach, restaurants, shops, and family attractions, while still enjoying a quiet, peaceful retreat at the end of the day. This neighborhood truly gives you the best of both worlds—Destin’s fun and energy, plus a calm, family-friendly community.
What makes this property unique
Destin Garden Oasis stands out for its perfect mix of space, comfort, and natural beauty. • Lush garden landscaping and a serene community pool create a relaxing atmosphere. • Direct beach access with chairs, wagon, and beach toys makes beach days easy and fun. • Full amenities: fully equipped kitchen, multiple bathrooms, washer and drying racks—comforts that surpass hotel stays. • Family-friendly layout: two master suites, bunk room, and two patios for indoor/outdoor living. • Indoor entertainment: telescope, books, games, and magazines for quiet or rainy days. • Eco-conscious touches like a smart thermostat make your stay comfortable and responsible.
Guests love the combination of poolside and garden serenity, beach convenience, and home-like comforts, making their stay truly memorable.
