Welcome to Wave on Wave, a majestic Mediterranean sanctuary anchored along the water's edge, where the sands of the Emerald Coast stretch into infinity, and your soul finds its haven. This elegantly poised three-story home, nestled in the exclusive embrace of the Destiny by the Sea community, is your gateway to an escape where the horizon is not just a boundary but a beginning. With 5 bedrooms and 4.5 baths, each corner of Wave on Wave is a testament to elegance, designed for those who seek to immerse themselves in the unparalleled beauty of beachfront living. From the moment you step inside, the grandeur of this home unfolds before you. The first floor, a realm of comfort and tranquility, hosts two guest bedrooms, one with a king bed and the other a king and twin ensemble, sharing a space where dreams are cradled by the sound of the sea. A laundry room here offers added convenience. An elevator offers a restful alternative to the stairs as you ascend to the second floor, revealing the heart of Wave on Wave - a living room where expansive windows frame the coastline as if by magic, a balcony that calls you to linger over the endless blue, and a gourmet kitchen where culinary dreams come to life. On this floor, a guest sanctuary awaits, with a king bed, private en suite, and balcony access. But the crown jewel of this coastal kingdom lies on the third floor - the master suite. More than a room, it is a domain unto itself, featuring a wood four-post king bed, a sunroom for serene mornings, and a private balcony that gazes upon the Gulf of Mexico. The en suite bath, with its mosaic-tiled jacuzzi tub and walk-in glass shower, is a spa realm designed for the gods. Every detail of Wave on Wave speaks of a craftsmanship dedicated to luxury and beauty, from dual laundry facilities for unparalleled convenience to the balconies that serve as front-row seats to the majesty of the Gulf.

Destin was beautiful and this home was amazing a few things needed repairs but no biggie.

It is an attractive house, with sufficient bedrooms and private bathrooms for my family of three couples and one single. However, the elevator was broken, which caused a lot of hauling to the 2nd and 3rd floors. The kitchen is on the 2nd floor. The exterior doors were difficult to open, and the kitchen stove took over 30 minutes to preheat. Old and much-used pots and pans, knives that did not cut well, and chipped dishes and cracked glasses. We did expect more at this price point. Also, no access to beach chairs, even though off-season, we did expect to have beach chairs. Good location and a pretty beach.

Reviewer Comments:
When I booked this vacation, I was under the assumption private beach meant having the area in front of the house rental to ourselves. What we woke up to, were a line of rental chairs and umbrellas along the shoreline. Unfortunately, we then had to rent them in order to sit close to the water. For a family of 6, that wasn't a cheap additional charge. It's a beautiful home; however, the elevator wasn't working, and as any beach home, it could use some maintenance. Up and down 3 flights of stairs with luggage was a task. The beach and sand are beautiful. As for our family, with the amount of money this place cost, we were a little disappointed.

Our experience here was wonderful from start to finish. There was plenty of space for our family of six, my parents, and my sister and her husband. We all appreciated the king beds in every room, as well as the en suite bathrooms with an abundance of towels and wash rags. The washer and dryer on the first floor was marvelous. The kitchen was well stocked for the amount of cooking we did. Drinking coffee on the balcony, sleeping with the balcony doors open, the incredibly well-stocked room of beach toys, boogie boards, and a few inflatable rafts really sealed the deal for my kids! We have stayed at many beach houses through the years but this one topped them all. It was very convenient to rent chairs and umbrella set up for us each day. Management was easily reached at all times. The gated community felt safe and was easy for us to access (gate, pool, etc.) We stayed the week of thanksgiving and felt like we discovered the best kept secret in Florida - weather was cool but gorgeous. Mostly other families on the beach and it wasn’t crowded. Six adults, three teenagers and a six year old had an exceptional vacation. Outstanding location, attentive management, convenience at every turn; we can’t wait to come back.

This home is amazing. It needs some TLC. The interior had issues and for the price point it should rate a 5 star in every area but it did not. The location is fabulous. Someone needs to invest a little to tidy it up to make it the perfect vacation location.

Overall house is nice with some interesting decor (tiles, ceiling, etc). We stayed here in October with parents, kids and grandparents. Plenty of living space and bedrooms are good size. However, we all decided we probably wouldn’t stay here again as we have stayed in better places at this price point. Rental is dingier than expected. For example there are hand/finger prints on all of the white interior doors that make things feel dirty. Bathrooms are all very tight (except master). To the point where you have to turn sideways to get past open door and into bathroom. Beach towels not included which is stated when you book but very annoying considering it’s a house on the beach and the price of the rental. We’ve stayed in many other places where they are included and it’s so much easier. The “starter” items are ridiculously small or minimal. For example, the kitchen dish soap is about 2 inches tall. The $ store has larger bottles than that. And there is 1 garbage bag in the kitchen and that’s it. We are used to bringing extra tp, paper towels, dishwasher pods, etc with us but this rental’s starters were more extreme than normal. Again, it comes back to the price point where you expect a little bit more amenities/service/quality when you are paying this much for a rental house. Lastly, we had issues with the back door lock not working properly and unknowingly had left it unlocked for the first half of the week including while we were out or sleeping which is a huge safety issue. We had maintenance come out twice to fix it. The second time, maintenance admitted this is an ongoing issue with this door and that the lock needs to be replaced. After working on it for 30 minutes he was able to get it to lock and advised us to not use this door for the rest of the week. The guys who came out to fix things were very nice and helpful but the ladies you talk to on the phone are less service oriented. For these reasons we would go somewhere else next time and also avoid My Vacation Haven rental properties in the future.

We had a great time at this house. Very beautiful and was clean. The only issue we had was the mattress in master needed to be replaced, plus the sheets were way to big for the mattress which caused unrest. Also we had to rent beach chairs. We were told there were chairs in the beach closet.. there was one. The houses we have rented before, the chairs were included. As much as we paid for the house, we felt like they should have been included. Overall.. we had a great time!

Fabulous family vacation
This was a fantastic property for our family of 6. We enjoyed the vastness of the house and the ability to spread out when necessary. The house was beautiful and had everything we needed. It made for a great home away from home for the week! We will definitely return!

Wave on Wave is a lovely property on the beach of Destiny by the Sea - one of the premier gated communities in Destin. This was the 10th home in Destiny by the Sea and our 14th stay. Wave on Wave is one of the few houses furnished with proper beds in all the bedrooms - no bunk rooms which is perfect for an all adult group. Being right on the beach is a luxury well worth the extra expense. The dolphins swam by every morning and lingered in the water right off our beach. Thank you to the owners for making this property available to those of us who yearn for a beach vacation!

The house was great. It's got some age on it, but the quality of construction has allowed it to hold up well. The decor is fairly luxurious, and there's a spacious but cozy feel throughout. The privacy and security provided by the gated neighborhood is also a big plus. It was clean, and the convenience of beach access right out the back door cannot be overstated. Would definitely stay here again. Another location in this neighborhood would also be a possibility.

So perfect, I never left the property....
The accommodations were perfect for our family. The gated community made us feel safe. The kitchen was well stocked. The dishwasher died and the property managers were very friendly and considerate and quick to replace it. Each room felt private. The bathrooms were fancy. The elevator helped loading and unloading, but more importantly, make the trip feasible for my husband's frail mother. The property came well supplied with beach chairs, boogie boards, rafts, and sand tools. The master bed was very soft (I like a firm mattress, so that was a personal struggle). The water temperature was hot and lasted through concurrent and back-to-back showers in several bathrooms. The locks on the balcony doors are near the end of their lifespan. I will definitely look out for availability of this property next year and hope I can make my plans in time. We stay in a beach home every summer - this was my favorite property without a doubt.

Red tide and a hurricane
The question did I enjoy my stay was influenced by the environment. First off the house was perfect for us, we really enjoyed our house accommodations. The red tide was bad when we arrived then we evacuated for two days because of the hurricane. Other than that our last two days of our stay was real nice. The red tide was gone and it was sunny both days. Tough luck for us but we love going to Destin.

Dreamy Home in an Amazing Location
My family and I have been staying at different homes along 30A for a few years now, and this home is by far the most beautiful we have stayed at. We have all decided that we will only be renting this house for our family vacations.
This home is managed so well and truly has that special touch. We were pleasantly surprised to find a gift basket of yummy snacks when we arrived, there are Tommy Bahama toiletries in every bathroom, and the kitchen was stocked with cleaning supplies (i.e. dish soap, trash bags, paper towels, etc.) for us to use during our stay. The attention to detail when you rent this home will blow your mind!
Not only is the house well equipped for your stay, but it is truly a beautiful home! Every room was decorated perfectly. We were all huge fans of the unique (and what looked to be handmade and hand painted) tile that was used in every bathroom, in the kitchen, and even the laundry room!
The location of this home to grocery stores, shopping, and restaurants is great! You are only a few minutes away. The beach was super clean and peaceful, and the people who set up our umbrellas every day were so kind and knowledgeable.
We cannot say enough positive things about this rental and we are counting down the days to our next vacation in this gorgeous home!

Inside was worn. Not like pictures on website. Location was great!
Hard to get a space on beach by the water. Had to ask for the chairs & umbrellas to be moved daily to get beach front which goes with renting property. House was great for our large family. Loved the balconies! Parking was great for our 4 cars! Would have loved a Kcup coffee machine.

Grandchildren Beach Adventure
Wave on Wave was the perfect family experience. The beach front views were extraordinary with an easy private walkway to the beach complete with a shower and a room full of beach toys and chairs. The house gave us the perfect layout for family time with our four young grandchildren plus private space for three families. The kitchen was well stocked and the ice make was a real hit. We loved having most of our meals inside for maximum family time. The community pool was just a short walk which was also a nice feature. We look forward to a return visit in the future.

We absolutely loved Wave On Wave!
A great place to stay! This property had everything we needed and was comfortable. Loved being right on the beach. Could not ask for a better place. The only thing I would like to see is an extra refrigerator in the garage for extra goodies like drinks food etc. With so many people it would be nice to have that. I would definitely rent this house again.
