The neighborhood, location, and rental process were 10/10. The beach chairs/umbrella set up was AMAZING. The house is good but needs a lot of TLC- porch doors were very hard to open and close and despite some interesting instructions on how to lock the front door, we could not figure it out. The back door to the beach still hasn’t been fixed and can only be locked by a chain at the top of the door. Deck furniture was broken. Kitchen cabinets are off their hinges and the oven is very hard to open and use.
The house is plenty big enough and great for entertaining, with some much needed updates it would be perfect for the price. We had several other families renting homes on the same street and they paid quite a bit less, and their homes were updated, cleaner and in better condition.
We love this area and neighborhood- it wasn’t our first rental here and it won’t be our last.

The location of this property was amazing. The home itself needs some upkeep, maintenance and cleaning. This property has major potential!

This house is perfect for groups with kids. You're directly on the most beautiful beach in a very safe and quiet neighborhood, so it truly doesn't get much better. If being on the beach all day is your idea of a perfect vacation, just bring food and drink, and don't plan on having to leave at all.

This beach home is the best one we’ve stayed in. It’s very spacious and the lay out of the home was perfect for our family. Everyone had their own bedroom and bathroom. The ocean view from the home is beautiful. We were only steps away from the beach. Our reserved beach chairs and umbrellas (2 chairs and 2 umbrellas) were waiting for us each morning. That was a perk because we are usually having to get to the beach early to reserve chairs and umbrellas. The homeowner is easy to get in touch with and a good communicator. My family and I will definitely rent this perfect place again.

Diamond of Destiny was an absolutely perfect beach house. It had more than enough room for our entire family and we absolutely love being right on the beach.
Destiny by the Sea is a wonderful neighborhood and close to everything we enjoy in Destin. Dr. Archer has thought of everything with this beach house!
We have stayed in a lot of beachfront homes throughout the years in Destin and this is by far the best we’ve ever stayed in. This is now our go to beach rental to make wonderful memories with our family in Destin!!
Can’t wait to book this again next summer!!

Beware! Property is not as expected!
This house could be nice, but it has fallen into a state of disrepair. The back steps to the beach are rotting and screws are poking through the boards. The deck up from the beach has five plastic chairs on it, three of which are cracked. The back door to the beach has only a rusty chain to keep it closed/locked. If there was a fire this would be a major problem. In the house some of the lights don't work, the ceiling is cracked in the main gathering area, our bedroom furniture had broken knobs, etc. The kitchen has a nice refrigerator, but the balance of the appliances are very old and difficult to operate. (Bring your own cereal bowls, there were only four there, and three of them were plastic.) We understand this is a rental house and a certain amount of wear & tear should be expected, but it was way under par for what we were paying for. Also, you are not allowed to bring your own umbrellas to the beach! This includes baby tents as well. This was not communicated to us, but the owner did reimburse us for the extra rental we had with the beach service. Do yourself a favor and before renting this property check and see if any renovations have been done.

Beautiful location!
We loved the location, safe gated neighborhood, and the fact that we were right on the beautiful beach. Neighborhood pool was perfect for a little break from the waves. Beds comfortable, great for our large family with kids aged 16-3 years. We will definitely consider staying again!

This house had so much room, was clean, right on the beautiful sands, and had the basics to get us started. They had lots of toys and floats for the kids, a net (we left 2 more) to catch little critters with, bicycles, 2 boogie boards. We had a fabulous time and dreaded our last day to arrive. The only con was the remodel construction on the vacant house to our left. The workers were there each weekday morning and stayed until afternoon. Hammering and sawing. Wish we would have been told or thought to ask that question. It was loud. We played loud music and drowned it out as often as we could. And the grill was beyond cleaning, we bought and left aluminum foil there for the next person. Overall we would return, the private community was awesome and the house was beautiful!

Gorgeous Beach front property and home.
Beautiful accommodations with amazing views of the Ocean.
Steps away from the beach made it easy to enjoy. The community pool was close, private and very nice! We had a wonderful time and the home was perfect for our family.
You will not want to miss this location for your next trip.
The owner was very friendly and easy to contact with questions etc.

Great Vacation During Covid
We had planned to be there in May but had to change our reservation because of the virus. Owner was very understanding and easy to work with although I sent a lot of emails during this time. The week we spent in Destin was amazing. Being directly on the beach makes for the very best experience imaginable. We all wish we were still there. The weather (which isn't part of the guarantee) was perfect and the beach setup guys couldn't have been nicer or more helpful. The house is everything that we expected and the location is perfect. Destiny by the Sea is a wonderful neighborhood. The layout of the house is very nice and the rooms are spacious. Having the separate bar and ice maker was almost like having an extra kitchen. It worked very well for us. We were all great friends but could be in our own space when desired. I would definitely stay there again. We had a small emergency and the owner was most helpful. I think you could call upon him for anything that you needed and he would willingly help in any way he could. Great Trip! Hope to repeat it.

Privacy in Destin
We enjoyed most aspects of the property and enjoyed our week in Destin. The only negative remarks are 1. Parking was limited to 2 vehicles at the property and no parking available anywhere else. The few spots at the pool were full all week. We had to park 2 of 4 vehicles at a public lot several miles away. 2. The sofa beds in the living room were not working so we had to use a blow up mattress for some of the kids. Other than those 2 items, it was a wonderful house and we enjoyed our stay.

Memories at the Beach
We had an amazing time at the Diamond of Destiny in Destiny by the Sea. You can step off the terrace onto the white sandy beach. It is amazing. Our family wants to return asap. The house is beautiful and the view is incredible. Sitting in the living room it seems the waves will come right through the terrace doors.

Beautiful place, beautiful location
Our family recently stayed at Diamond of Destiny in Destiny by the Sea and were very impressed with the spaciousness and cleanliness of this beautiful place. Unfortunately we had to cut our vacation short with the threat of Hurricane Michael but the owner was very accommodating to work with through the matter. We will definitely be staying here in the future should dates work out and I would recommend this to anyone wanting to stay directly on the beach in a spectacular ocean side community.
