Southbay 50 ~ Turtle Watch

“Turtle Watch”

Experience serene lake views the moment you step into this beautifully appointed residence. Embrace the tropical setting as you stroll across the private boardwalk that gracefully spans the lake and leads you to the beach—no busy roads to cross. This peaceful walk quickly affirms you’ve chosen the perfect coastal retreat as you arrive to your free beach rental setup.

Two spacious private balconies invite you to soak in the Florida sunshine, offering serenity and peace overlooking the water. As you look over the balconies you may catch yourself naming the precious families of turtles and ducks that swim by to personally greet you. You are welcome to bring your dogs, for they too will be in awe.

Whether you’re visiting Destin for the first time or returning your favorite destination, we look forward to welcoming you to your own slice of paradise along the Emerald Coast. Take a quick 5-6 minutes to stroll to the beach and then feel the sugar-white sand beneath your feet, if you haven't experienced our sand - no shoes required, soft crystals between your toes, with the backdrop of crystal-clear waters filtering the sand. If you miss the amazing sunrise, you still can be blessed with the picturesque watercolors of the sunset. After a day of sun and sand, unwind in one of the two swimming pools, both locations have additional wading pools. For those seeking activity, and to burn off some excess energy, tennis and pickleball courts are available to keep you moving - we provide pickleball paddles and balls.
