If you need directions to paradise, you’ve found it! Paradise Pointe is an elegant, three-level beach house that sits directly on the white sand shores. Located in the private Destin Pointe neighborhood of Destin’s Holiday Isle, the home is perfect for a lowkey getaway. The home features multiple balconies overlooking the beach, large and sunlit interiors, and a private boardwalk that leads to the soft white sands. It has eight bedrooms and can host up to 20 guests—great for a family reunion or a fun trip with friends.
The home’s main gathering space is on the second floor, boasting incredible views of the blue-green waves through large windows. Light beach-washed flooring, white furnishings, and blue accent décor give the beach a distinct coastal vibe. The living room’s seating arrangement includes a white couch flanked by two white armchairs and two blue armchairs on either side. The setup encircles an abstract rug and a tiered drink table. It also faces a wall-mounted TV provided for entertainment. A set of four chairs and a glass-topped cocktail table make up a bonus gathering area, perfect for hanging out with your fellow vacationers. Vinyl floors extend into a large kitchen characterized by spacious quartz countertops and custom white cabinetry. The large center island is great for serving snacks, drinks, and self-serve meals. With six raised blue chairs, it’s also the perfect spot for a relaxed morning vacation breakfast. The dining area is next to the kitchen. Here, four windows overlook a wood block table, giving it a regal feel. Two dark shell chandeliers add to the vibe. The dining area can seat 10+ people, with chair and bench seats surrounding the table. If you’d rather dine outdoors while enjoying coastal breezes, head out to the second-level balcony. The balcony overlooks the water and is furnished with cushioned couches, chairs, and a café table.
The incredible primary suite is on the top floor. It boasts a king-size bed with a gray tufted headboard, white furnishings, armchairs, a wall-mounted TV, a wall of windows, and a glass door that opens onto a beachfront veranda. On the veranda is a porch swing for watching the waves while sipping refreshing cocktails. Back inside, the primary bedroom’s ensuite bath has a deep soaking tub and dual vanities.
The remaining bedrooms are spread across all three levels of the home. On the first floor, you will find two guest bedrooms, as well as a bonus den with bunks and another full-size kitchen. One of the first-floor guest bedrooms has a king-size bed, while the other has a queen-size bed with a private bath and patio access. The cozy bonus den features a plush wraparound couch, remote working desk, TV, and a queen/twin bunk tucked beneath the stairs. Upstairs, you will find another guest bedroom alongside the great room. It has a king-size bed, ensuite with a walk-in shower, and access to a lovely patio. In addition to the primary suite on the third floor, there are also four guest bedrooms. Three have king-size beds, while the final room is a bunk room with two twin bunks.
Aside from picture-perfect accommodations, a stay at Paradise Pointe comes with other perks. First, the beach is literally at your fingertips, with a private boardwalk leading directly to the glittering shores and emerald waters. Guests receive free seasonal beach service, and have access to community amenities. These include two swimming pools a short stroll away, shuffleboard, tennis and basketball courts, and a kid’s playground.
Finally, the property is conveniently located to Destin activities and fun while still feeling private and secluded. Louisiana Lagniappe, Taste of India, and Crackings are just a few of the nearby restaurants that locals and visitors love. Another must-visit entertainment spot is HarborWalk Village, which has a variety of restaurants, specialty shops, live music, events, boat cruises, and other family-friendly fun.

It’s wonderful to hear you had such a great experience. We're glad the rental met your expectations. We can’t wait to host you again on your next beach escape! Thank you for choosing Ocean Reef Resorts.
Our family of 21 felt right at home. We had plenty of room for all ages of kids and adults alike. The pools were short walking distance from our house. The beach was perfect, water and waves enjoyed by all.

Property is beautiful and great location, the pools were a huge hit with the kids. Lots of space and great dining area for a larger family. Only dislike is there were absolutely no window coverings for the master suite with floor to ceiling windows (you could see in the room from the beach). If you are travelers hoping for lots of rest, better window covers are needed.

Thank you for staying with Ocean Reef Resorts and providing this valuable feedback. Please let us know if we can assist in any future travel plans you may have.
We have 7 children and a grandchild. There were 20 of us in the home and there was plenty of room for everyone! We ranged in age from late 40’s to 1 year. Everyone enjoyed this home as well as the location. The 2 kitchens was a huge plus for us. The master bedroom has large windows facing the beach we personally liked having the sun come in early, but there are no window coverings. The home was exactly as described in the listing.

The property is as described and right on the beach. Location was exceptional. What minimal communication was required was answered/fixed within ample time. There was just 14 parents and 18+ adults and we had plenty of room to have our own space. I would highly recommend this property.

Thank you for staying with us! We are pleased to hear that you enjoyed the property and your time at the beach. We hope to see you again soon.
My friends and I have been doing a golf/beach trip since 1991. This is the nicest property we have had for the trip. It was a great location and property. Really cant do much about it but LOTS of fisher people come each day that are not staying at the property, and they are there each day. They set up fishing stands in front of you. They are not rude but there are a lot and they do have stands withing 5/10 feet of your chair. Still, great time and prop.

Thank you for sharing your review. We genuinely value your input and would love to hear any suggestions you may have on how we can improve future stays. Please don’t hesitate to reach out with your thoughts. We appreciate you choosing us as your destination!
The pictures of the house does not do it justice! It feels like you are sitting on top of the water. No matter what floor you are on there are beautiful water views. There is direct access to the beach off of the bottom floor making it so easy to have beach walks. The house does not come with extras: spices, cooking oils or beach towels so plan accordingly. We had babies with us and needed to buy a baby gate for the stair cases off the main level. We did use the rental company for the crib and that worked seamlessly. They’re very easy to talk with and accommodating for checkin times. We already are talking about when we can come back next.

Thank you for taking the time to leave such a thoughtful review! We’re delighted you enjoyed the rental and all it has to offer. Hope to see you again soon! Thank you for choosing Ocean Reef Resorts
Overall it was great. The location is wonderful. First time for us to stay on the beach other than in a condo. A house is so much better.
There were some issues. We had to get the hot water worked on. We had some drains that had to be worked on. We had a toilet that required some work. However Ocean Reef was prompt to address these issues as they arose and were very courteous when they did.
The owners could invest in more comfortable furniture and mattresses. The view was awesome but the windows were coated in salt mist and we had to wipe them down to see the view clearly. The bedrooms could use a chest for more drawer storage. However, we enjoyed our time there together and had a great time.
