It’s just a five-minute stroll through Southbay's tropical paradise to the sugar-white private beach. We even provide beach toys and a wagon to make things easier to carry. Once at the beach you will be provided with 2 beach chairs and umbrella (March-October). There are two adult and two kiddie pools (one heated...February to Mid-April) within walking distance.

Our condo has 2 bedrooms and 2 full baths on the first level that were fully renovated (2022). Each bedroom is furnished with a flat-screen TV. The master bedroom includes its own deck with a covered ceiling that overlooks the five-acre freshwater lake with a spectacular view!
The second level has a spacious living room and complete dining area which was renovated in 2021. Enjoy watching a movie on the 65” Smart TV with free cable. Walkout onto the upper deck and enjoy the beautiful sunsets, sitting and sipping at an Adirondack table that seats 6. Grab your fishing pole and try to catch a bass or maybe a snapping turtle that are waiting for you in the lake! The fully equipped kitchen has ceramic floors and granite counter tops. It includes an updated half bath that was fully renovated in 2023 and not to forget...a washer and dryer for your convenience.
We have several floating devices, boogie boards and plenty of sand toys. For your convenience, there is an air-hose to blow up rafts, tubes, and beach balls (located behind the tennis and pickleball courts on the south side of the lake).

About the host
Hosted by Lynda Tanner (Contact #1) Vickie Byrom (Contact #2)
Lynda and I own the condo, along with my husband. We have been "crazy" best friends since 4th grade and grew up together in St. Louis, Missouri.
Lynda moved to beautiful Destin, Florida in 2001 and I started coming down with my family and staying at Southbay by the Gulf since 2002.
Because we both love Destin, the emerald- green waters and white sandy beaches, we decided to buy a condo for rentals at Southbay by the Gulf in 2016.
Whether you are looking for a nice family vacation, a fun girls trip or a romantic getaway, Southbay by the Gulf is a perfect fit for everyone!
So schedule your vacation today...put your flip flops on...come enjoy a relaxing time at our condo and have some fun in the sun on the beach in Destin!!!
