About this property

~Beachfront ~ Spectacular View~Updated ~ Family Friendly~Great Location~

We are so excited to offer our beach home to you! This jewel is located in the fabulous Holiday Isle community in a gated, friendly 30 unit complex. Our home is on the end unit of the second floor. The three living room windows overlook the beach, giving you a spectacular view of the sugary white sand, the grassy dunes, the East Pass, the Jetties and the Gulf...all in one glance! The balcony overlooks the beautiful pool on one side and the spectacular beach on the other. Walk out the front door and you are at the stairway to the beach! A three minute walk through the soft warm sand and your toes will be in the clear water that the Emerald Coast is famous for! No roads to cross! If you love snorkeling or fishing, some of the best around is right outside your door. From the front of the complex, the harbor is just across the street. You can't get any closer to paradise!! Holiday Isle also offers several miles of sidewalks for your morning walks.

After your day at the beach or one of the nearby activities, like the Big Kahuna Water Park or Gulfarium, relax and enjoy dinner prepared in your beautiful fully-equipped kitchen with its granite counter tops and stainless steel appliances or grill with your family on one the community gas grills. Eat dinner watching the colors of the sunset as the last of the sailboats and beachcombers call it a day. If you prefer to go out for dinner, some of the coast's best restaurants are just minutes away by car or walk just down the street and catch the water taxi (seasonal) to the many venues around the Harbor.

Our home sleeps 6. The master bedroom has sliding glass doors that open to the balcony and provides a view of the beach and the moon over the water as you rest for the night. It has a queen-size bed with a comfortable new mattress. The second bedroom also has a queen-size bed with a new mattress, a Blu-Ray player and an X-box 360 game system with family friendly games. Both bedrooms have 32” flat panel TVs. The living room has a queen-size sofa sleeper and a 58” flat panel TV.

You just need to bring the sunscreen and fun! We love our home and welcome you to enjoy it as much as we do!

Very clean. Nice location

We had a great stay. Good communication with owner. We had a little problem with a company that thinks they own the beach but I received an email from the owner that cleared everything up.

Great Location and Value

This was our first time staying in the Holiday Isle area. Our family of four really enjoyed our stay at this wonderful property with easy access to the beach including options for snorkeling and fishing. We had plenty of room for two adults and two teenagers and loved the low key setting of Holiday Isle while having quick access to eating, shopping, and attractions in Destin.

Absolutely beautiful view!

The "Crows Nest" is in a perfect location! Sand and beach visible from the living room and the balcony! Pool also. It was beautiful to see sunries and sunset! The condo is well maintained, very clean, and lovely. Its nice to have 2 rooms and 2 baths as our friends also stayed and both couples could be comfortable! We loved everything about our stay.

Amazing views!!

Our stay was absolutely perfect. The condo had everything we needed for the week, from beach towels, umbrellas, chairs, a cooler and beach toys! The beach is just a short walk and if you walk just past the jettys you are at the Gulf with plenty of room to play and relax! We have been to Destin now for 4 years and I think we have found our favorite place to stay! We will definitely be back next year.

Loved it!!!

My siblings and I had an amazing stay! The unit was perfect inside and out. Beautifully furnished and decorated, and everything has been well taken care of. The pool was very clean and enjoyable. But most importantly, the nearby beach was out of this world GORGEOUS! We will definitely be returning to this exact spot!

Great place

The unit is equipt with most of the kitchen utensils you could ever need. Coffee pot, keurig, electric giddle, crockpot, 3 sets of pans, blender, toaster, storage containers. Definitely everything we needed! The beds were comfortable. It is a little bit of a walk to the beach, not far, but the fine sand will help you get your cardio in. I loved the location. You can see the sunset! We loved it, and would definitely stay again.

Great Condo & Great Beach!

We have enjoyed our stay at the condo very much. This is a very well kept condo with a very well equipped kitchen. And the location is PERFECT. It also provides good family environment in terms of TV programs, games and movies. We will surely return! Keep up the good work Lauren & co-owners! You have successfully shown the pride of owning your vacation rental property. Kudos!

This was our first trip to Destin and it was wonderful!!!

We really enjoyed our stay at Poolside Villas! The condo itself was very nice and had everything a person would need. The beach towels, chairs and umbrella were a huge plus! The location was great and very convenient to many restaurants! We enjoyed watching all of the boats come and go from our living room window! The view was amazing! However, the elevator and walkways to the condo could use some TLC to spruce things up a bit! Lauren was very helpful and accommodating to our needs and made our vacation so enjoyable!!

Great location, 3 walkable beach options

We enjoyed our stay at poolside 201, the condo was just what we like. It was clean, small complex, there are 3 beach options 2 that you can always get in, 1 with big waves so if double red can’t get it. We loved to go in the morning, then come back to the condo for mid day when it would get busier than walk down again in the afternoon/early evening. So there are 2 beaches straight out over the dunes. Then you can also walk out of the condo take left down the street about 1/4 of a mile down to the end of gulf shore walk through the sand there is a small walkway next to the fence for construction…that little area was quite a gem for snorkeling…we found hermit crabs and lots of little fishies to look at, it has 3 or 4 large tide pool areas. The owner was quick to respond when I would ask questions, very kid friendly. :D We would definitely return to this condo.

Beautiful condo but to far from the water.

This condo is beautiful and very clean. It rained everyday almost and the walk to the water was intense when trying to roll a wagon, chairs, cooler, floats , and everything you need because you don’t want to forget anything and have to walk back to the condo. This will probably be the last time that we visit Destin. We ended up leaving early because I got bit by a dog walking the boardwalk in front of the Emerald Grand. Please watch your babies if you go there. That is no fault of the condo though just our bad luck. The cabinets are well stocked with everything you need! On a plus side we made friends with a couple from Arkansas that was staying above us!

Beautiful Condo!

Really enjoyed the stay here at Poolside Villas! Easy access and convience to the pool area which my kids loved! The condo was beautiful and nicely stocked with beach items, kitchen items and so on. Condo was very clean as well! I loved that there were beach chairs and beach cart for our access which helped limit what we had to bring! The condo is off the main road which is very nice and located really close to many restaurants and stores. Would definitely recommended the condo. The condo is located on the jetty which is just as clear as the ocean! The jetty is a nice area but can get crowded with boats with places coming in to bring people snorkeling! You do have access to get to the ocean area but it is a little walk to get to which does make it hard lugging all your beach items! That would be the only downfall.

Awesome view, location, ameneties!

This was our family's first beach vacation. The condo was very clean and updated. All of the comforts of home were provided for our use. We had a nice daily dose of beach, pool, eat, beach, sleep (repeat). The provided beach cart made hauling the kids beach toys and lunch cooler a breeze. The crystal clear and calm shallow waters of the waterway beach made it a phenomenal first beach experience for our 2 and 5 year olds. We even spotted a Manatee just 20 yards off shore. Towards the end of the week, we were able to work our way up to the much more fun waves just a little further walk to the gulf, past the jetties. (Note: this beach was much more private too. And had very neat seashells to find.) Great variety!! We had much success in working with the owner (Lauren) who was responsive to our every inquiry or concern. Our only grumble was the boat shuttle from a nearby mega-condo whose guests took up 80% of the waterway beach on the nicer days. Otherwise, the beach would've been virtually all ours.

Very Relaxing and quiet

We enjoyed the unit and our stay. We could tell that the owners really care about their property and have updated their condo. Their communication with them was excellent. Condo is in an older, smaller complex. To note...the beach area (bay and gulf) is a long walk through sand trails. We found this hard to navigate day after day. The beach chairs , wagon, etc... at the condo to use...were not in great condition. We recommend getting your own to use. Also... the beach area closest to the condo is really taken over by a large resort in Destin Harbor. They have a great deal of beach chairs/umbrellas on the beach for their guests. Their guests come there for this beach area by boat...so you cannot use that area at all. The views from the outside deck area of the condo were nice, but some limited due to palm trees. We did enjoy our stay. and for the price we paid...it is a very nice option.
