When it comes time for a beach getaway, nothing beats the convenience, the coziness, and the amenities of a condo. Of course, not all condos are right on the beach—a preference for many travelers—which is why we’re highlighting the best Destin condos on the beach. Now you’ll know exactly where to stay for your waterfront fix!
Towering Views of the Emerald Coast from Ariel Dunes II
The Ariel Dunes II Towers condominiums, located just off Scenic 98, overlook the sugar white sands and crystal-clear waters of the emerald coast. Both of the Ariel Dunes towers are twenty-four stories high, which means there are plenty of options for those coveted beach views. The panoramic sights also include picturesque Stewart Lake and Scenic 98.
Not only is Ariel Dunes less than a stone’s throw from the ocean, it’s also conveniently located next to one of the area’s hottest breakfast spots, the Whale’s Tail. If you’d rather dine in, then order a personalized, gourmet meal from the Cabana Café.
When it comes to something to do (as if lounging on the beach wasn’t enough), Ariel Dunes features tennis courts and a community grill, and has ready access to beach boardwalks where bikers, roller bladers, and joggers will be able to get their fitness fix before diving into the ocean. There’s also nearby golfing and shopping at much-loved destinations like Destin Commons, Silver Sands Outlets, and Grand Boulevard. Ariel Dunes guarantees there’s something for every vacationer, which is why it’s among the best Destin condos on the beach.
The Scenery Rules at the Empress
A mainstay on Scenic 98, the Empress condominiums feature spacious and sprawling living areas with three bedrooms and three baths that accommodate up to eight people. Balcony views, such as those at Empress 603 give an unfettered view of the sparkling emerald coastline, making it one of the best Destin condos on the beach.
Luxurious open-concept kitchen and floor plan aside, Empress condos also offer a range of fun and entertaining “to-dos” for guests such as:
Tennis center
Golf course
Fitness center
Heated pool
Private beach space
Iconic bay views from different rooms
There are also beachside restaurants, plentiful with refreshments to ensure your private jaunt to the beach is the exclusive, relaxing, and luxurious affair you hoped it to be.
Coastal Views & On-Site To-Dos at the Amalfi
No need for high-dollar plane tickets when the proverbial Amalfi Coast is just a reservation away. Located in the prestigious and gorgeous Amalfi condominium complex, the Amalfi Coast is an intimate one-bedroom, two-bathroom condo that sleeps six. The bright, open-concept condo breathes and is a true home-away getaway.
The expansive views of the emerald and turquoise landscape—the pool and the ocean—make this one of the best Destin condos on the beach. Tennis courts, a hot tub, a fitness center, and a clubhouse make it an even more enticing place to stay when you’re looking for an intimate beach escape.
Coastal Scenery & Hotspots Delight at Grand Caribbean East
Arguably one of the most primely located condos, the Grand Caribbean East is close to Destin’s hottest shopping, dining, playing, golfing, and living action while also overlooking the emerald coastline. What more could the best Destin condos on the beach offer than that?
Community grills, whirlpool hot tubs, fitness paths, and complimentary beach equipment are part of the experience when you book your ultimate beach escape with My Haven Vacations for a stay at Grand Caribbean East. Time to turn up the Calypso and add a few Reggae beats to your Spotify because the condos overlooking the ocean at the Grand Caribbean East beat all.
Quiet Time & All the Conveniences at the Alerio
Make a getaway feel like a true getaway at the Alerio—without sacrificing comfort or convenience, something only the best Destin condos on the beach can offer. Condos at the Alerio such as this one feature up to three bedrooms, which accommodate a total of eight guests. Floor plans are open-concept and decorative hues of creams and blues are reminiscent of the coastal scenery just across the street (though easily viewable from the condo’s higher floors). The resort’s on-site splash pad, pool, hot tub, and grilling area will be your favorite places to hang out. When you do step out and onto the beach, you’ll be mere minutes from The Whale’s Tail restaurant, Surf Hut, and the Silver Sands Outlets.
Live Your Best Beach Life at the Miramar Beach Villas
Luxury and location go hand-in-hand at the Miramar Beach Villas. Units such as this featured four bed, four bath delight , which sleeps eight, offer a private, sandy pathway to the inviting emerald coast. Inside, the spacious condo incorporates soothing whites and peaceful hues of blue and green to give the modern décor the ultimate coastal escape vibe. And that’s not the only feature that makes this one of the best Destin condos on the beach.
The location can’t be beat. It’s adjacent to the best shopping and entertainment such as Big Kahunas Waterpark, glass bottom boat tour options, charter fishing, parasailing, and more.
