All three floors of this Mediterranean-style home offer breezy balconies and patios with landscaping that makes you feel like you are on a remote island. Another well-kept secret is the neighborhood’s private beach access to the pristine shores of the Gulf of Mexico. The community also has a private pool and clubhouse, which features a large sundeck and tropical resort landscaping. In addition to the bubbling hot tub, the pool is illuminated at night, making it a treat to enjoy enchanted evenings in this hidden gem. While some of your party may have spent the day at the beach or around the community pool, others may have toured the area on bicycles that are provided for your sightseeing pleasure. Upon entering the double front doors, guests will immediately ease into the relaxing atmosphere. On the first floor, two guest bedrooms provide king-size and queen-size accommodations with en suite bathrooms and easy access to a furnished back patio. The living area provides an open concept floorplan where the whole family can be “part of the action” or spread out and relax after a day at the beach. Watch TV or enjoy the cozy fireplace. The modern, fully-equipped kitchen has bar seating as well as a formal dining area. This level also has a bunk room ideal for a bunch of kids, with two sets of twin-over-full bunks and a wall-mounted TV. The third floor is home to the primary suite with a king-sized bed, a sitting area, and a queen-sized sleeper sofa. Step through the sliding glass doors, and there’s a panoramic view of the prestigious neighborhood. The en-suite bath features a large walk-in shower, double vanities, and a marble-tiled soaking tub. There is also a garage-converted game room for competitive challenges. Still, another advantage of Destiny by the Sea Destiny’s Best Kept Secret is it’s conveniently located around restaurants and bars, with shopping nearby, so we’re sure it won’t remain a secret for long. ## Property amenities ### Beach - Beach nearby ### Ski - Close to skiing ### Pool/Spa - Communal pool - Heated pool - Hot tub - Private pool - Sauna ### Internet - Available in the house: Free WiFi ### Parking and transport - Car recommended - Onsite parking options include a garage ### Kitchen - Coffee/tea maker - Cookware, dishware, and utensils - Dishwasher - Hob - Kitchen island - Microwave - Oven - Refrigerator - Toaster ### Dining - Dining table ### Bedrooms - 4 bedrooms - Bedsheets provided - Sofa bed ### Bathroom - 4 bathrooms - Bathtub - Hair dryer - Shower/bathtub combination - Towels provided ### Living spaces - Dining table - Fireplace - Living room - Separate dining area ### Entertainment - Smart TV ### Outdoor areas - Balcony - Barbecue grill ### Laundry - Laundry facilities - Washing machine ### Work spaces - Desk ### Comfort - Air conditioning - Heating ### Pets - No pets allowed ### Suitability/Accessibility - Smoke-free property ### Services and conveniences - Iron/ironing board - Limited housekeeping - Meal delivery service ### Location highlights - Near a health/beauty spa - Near a hospital - Near a zoo - Near an outlet shopping centre - Near the marina - Near the sea ### Things to do - Heated pool - Water park - Basketball nearby - Birdwatching nearby - Casino nearby - Cycling nearby - Ecotours nearby - Fishing nearby - Hiking/biking trails nearby - Horseback riding nearby - Hunting nearby - Ice skating nearby - Jet skiing nearby - Motor boating nearby - Parasailing nearby - Rafting nearby - Sailing nearby - Snorkelling nearby - Spelunking nearby - Surfing/bodyboarding nearby - Swimming nearby - Theme park nearby - Water tubing nearby - Wildlife walks nearby - Windsurfing nearby - Winery tours nearby ### Safety features - Carbon monoxide detector not reported (host has not indicated whether there is a carbon monoxide detector on the property;

We have enjoyed this home for 3 vacations and continue to come back because it’s an awesome home and location. The home was renovated since our last visit and it’s beautiful. You can’t beat the easy 2-minute walk to step into the white sand. The layout of the home is wonderful for large groups and the front porches are my favorite spot to sit to get sun or shade all day. ##### Lisa P.

We wanted to make sure there was plenty of room for two adults, two 17 year olds and two 20 year olds. We also wanted to be near the beach. I’m so glad we chose to stay at this beautiful home. The kids enjoyed having their own space and the master suite felt like our own private oasis. The kids enjoyed the games in the garage and they were able to play video games in the bunkbed room. We loved the kitchen and enjoyed breakfast and lunch at the house. There were plenty of kitchen accessories for minimal cooking and plenty of bath towels. We loaded up with goodies at Whole Foods our first night and the fridge and counter space was roomy enough for all of our food and snacks. The weather was perfect, ranging from 60-70 degrees all week with few clouds and tons of sun! On New Year’s Eve we watched fireworks from the balcony! Our family enjoyed walks on the beach every morning. We spent lots of time relaxing on the beach in the comfy chairs provided, the kids built sandcastles with all the fun beach toys, and we wrapped each afternoon at the warm pool and luxurious hot tub. The gated community made us feel so safe and we loved the private beach. The house is so close to restaurants and the mall - we had a great time at The Fish Bowl, Fudpuckers, The Track, The Back Porch, and The Crab Trap. It was a wonderful, relaxing getaway for New Year’s, we will definitely be back! ##### Jacqueline G.

Management company was quick to respond to an issue during our stay. Unfortunately the pool was in a very bad state: jets did not flow, a lot of debris like hair, leaves, slime and sand. Pump didn’t seem to be working and it made the water very hot and it was very cloudy. Someone left some used bandaids on the edge of the shallow end on the east side and they were there the whole week. It appears that no one is treating or tending to the pool which was needed because there were a couple of days that the ocean was too rough for smaller children. ##### Julie A.
