BEACHside Destin Private Heated Pool 2 Houses+Loft Bikes Golf Cart 2 Kings

*Summer 26 is set for 7 night stays Friday to Friday…beat the crowds and traffic on Saturdays!!

2026 Updates: New Pool Liner, New Furniture, Updated Bedrooms, Appliances, etc.
This is a privately owned and managed property so you get quality personal attention and our house is maintained to ensure guest enjoyment!

Walk into the private gates of our beautifully landscaped house and you will feel as if you are staying in your own compound. This is no doubt the most unique set up in all of Crystal Beach. The 75ft x 150ft oversized lot allows plenty of parking. The courtyard/pool area is totally enclosed creating a sense of privacy while actually being in the center of everything.

This property has had plenty of upgrades and refinements since purchased in 2020! From technology to new luxury furniture and decor, you will not be disappointed. Our guests are in awe the second they walk into the homes featuring 11 different cheerful room colors.

Enjoy your mornings with coffee around the pool area on one of the covered porches or stop at the nearby coffee shop when you take your morning walk to the beach.

POOL:The pool is 5 ½ ft deep (3ft at shallow end) and has been converted to a salt water. Not to confuse this with water in the gulf. It simply takes salt and converts it to chlorine making it feel silky and smooth. Approx. size is 12’x20’

Enjoy the gulf breeze in a 6 seater Street Legal Golf Cart. No hassle with going to pick it up. It’ll be here waiting on you when you arrive. Included complementary with your stay.

Min 3-night rental off season and 7-night minimum June/July.

We had the best vacay ever with our group of 4 adults and 4 teenage girls. The space was more than enough and the amenities were above and beyond. The girls LOVED hanging out at the pool and we especially loved that it was heated, which made evening swims enjoyable. We only used the golf cart twice because everything we needed was in walking distance and we loved the strolls around town to Camille’s for coffee, the beach, and of course the mall. If I had to offer one suggestion to the owners, I would simply recommend having a mini fridge in the garage loft so the kids wouldn’t have to wander down into the man house at night for a cold drink. We had so much fun having dart tournaments in the garage and the we played cards and shared meals together at the huge dining table in the main house. Everything was perfect and we will definitely be returning!
The bikes were a fun way for the kids to get to the beach!

This is a perfect property for groups/families. It is very spacious allowing everyone plenty of personal space, yet there is enough space to have quality time with each other. There is plenty of indoor and outdoor seating to be able to have game time, or just enjoy the conversations and scenery. The beds were all comfortable with plenty of pillows and blankets to keep you cozy. There were even additional blankets and such on the couches and in the closets. If you sleep with a fan, like me, there is even a fan in one of the closets. Bathrooms had plenty of towels and wash cloths for everyone. The kitchen was well stocked with all the dishes/pots and pans/utensils you would need. There is even a supply of additional trash bags, dish pods, and laundry detergent to help keep the supplied pool towels and beach towels cleaned. We were pleasantly surprised that there were even some spices to use while cooking. The refrigerator has an ice maker and an automatic water filling pitcher. The golf cart was great for commuting to the beach or gas station (nearby)! In the garage there were even beach chairs, wagons, and beach toys to use. No need to overpack when heading to this little piece of paradise. The driveway fit 3 large vehicles. Anymore and you will not be able to get the golf cart in and out of the garage. Everything was well maintained. We even met the pool guy one day. Highly Recommended!!

Our stay was perfect. There was plenty of room for our group of 8. Everyone hung out in the main house and around the pool. The beach was in walking distance but the golf cart made it easy to go back and forth with all of our ‘stuff’. Stores and restaurants were very close and some, we just hopped on the golf cart. It was a great week and this will be our go to place when we head back to Destin.

This property is absolutely beautiful. So much room and spacious. We had access to everything we could possibly need in this home. The kitchen is very modern and up to date with Smart Appliances and to check in was Smart Lock as well. We were given a code and no worries about a key. The pool was amazing to have and private. We used the gas grill that’s provided as well. Location was great, close to everything. We loved our stay here and plan to definitely come back again.

Perfect for a Big Family Getaway!

We just returned from a fantastic stay at Gigi’s place with a group of 14 ranging in age from 3 to 79, and it couldn’t have worked out better. The setup—with a main house, guest house, and loft—was perfect. It gave everyone enough space to spread out but also made it easy to gather as a group when we wanted to be together.The pool and outdoor area were a highlight! The covered porches offered plenty of shade for those who just wanted to relax and watch the kids swim, and the ceiling fans above were a thoughtful touch that made a big difference in the Florida heat.The golf cart was a huge bonus and made trips to the beach quick and easy—especially helpful with little ones and grandparents in tow.The main house was well-stocked with everything we needed for meals. We like to balance cooking in with eating out, and the kitchen had almost everything we needed—except a pizza cutter (which we happily added to the drawer for future guests!).Communication was also top-notch—Car was quick to respond any time I had a question, which made everything even smoother.When we plan our next trip to Destin, Gigi’s will be our first choice. Highly recommend for large families!

Gigi’s Sunshine

Great place to stay for multiple families and friends that have never vacationed together. Spent most of our time in the main house kitchen and living room to accommodate us all. Loved how the owner was quick to answer questions, etc. I rated it a 5 overall, but the place needs a deep clean to get the grunge off the doors and outside furniture and some of the floors. Maybe some paint in between customers. My suggestion includes: labeling the garbage cans, place above garage needs a mini split instead of wall unit to get rid of the musty smell, and clean out the master bathroom shower head to increase water pressure.

A Piece of Paradise

Our family of seven absolutely loved this vacation rental. GiGi's Sunshine offered plenty of space for everyone. The main house is a two bedroom/two bathroom with a huge gathering room that overlooks the pool area. The second house was a two bedroom/ one and a half bath with a kitchen. The third is a loft over the garage. The golf cart and bikes were definitely an added bonus. The only thing I feel is important to mention is the liner in the pool is ripped. Not a deal breaker by any means but a bit of a suprise. The host said it is scheduled to be replaced soon.

We had an amazing stay at this VRBO for my grandmother's 70th birthday celebration. The home was perfect for our family, which offered plenty of space to relax and enjoy each other's company. The location was ideal with easy access to the beautiful Destin beach, shopping, and restaurants.The pool was a favorite spot for everyone, providing a great place to unwind. We also loved cooking meals together in the fully equipped kitchen, which made family dinners feel extra special. The house itself was clean, comfortable, and well-maintained, with thoughtful touches that made it feel like home.We couldn’t have asked for a better place to celebrate such a special occasion, and we’re grateful for the wonderful memories made there.
