Fantastic family vacay

We had a wonderful family vacation! Owner was very helpful and responsive to questions. The house was perfect… Short walk to the beach, access to 2 pools, walking distance to restaurants and shopping. We loved feeding the turtles from the balcony! The washer and dryer were a very nice perk. We hope to visit again!

Wonderful stay in Destin!

My family and I had a great time staying in the Lakeside Beach House! The location was great, an easy 5 min walk to the beach or pool! The townhouse was in a quiet little community and had everything we needed for the beach - beach wagon, boogie boards, sand toys, and chairs! We hope to come back sometime soon!

The perfect home away from home!

This place had everything we look for when traveling! The location was fantastic as it's a short walk to the beautiful sand and water, it had a fully stocked kitchen for anything that we needed, and such an amazing host/manager. I can not say enough about the manager and the host of this property, any issue that came up, they were right there to answer any questions and help. My family felt very comfortable here and we are already looking forward to coming back.

Perfect location 👌

We enjoyed our stay and the beautiful lake view. We ate on the deck everyday overlooking the lake (both morning & night). The beach was a few steps away from the house, umbrella service made it super easy to enjoy without schlepping tons of stuff with us. The townhome is centrally located with stores and restaurants all within walking distance.
