OUTDOOR LIVING
✦Private beach with security - 22 feet of your very own private beach!
✦The beach-level patio features the bar covered in shade to escape from the sun while kids play at the beach right behind you. Having a drink, relaxing in the shade, and watching the game on the TV across from the bar is always a win. There is also an enclosed shower for privacy and for parents to help little ones clean off properly. One of the five fire pits on the property is located on the beach-level patio. The porch swing overlooking the Gulf is perfect for watching the sunset. A grill, a bar overhang that looks out over the water, outdoor couches, and a dining room table (that is shaded) make up the rest of the beach-level patio.
✦The second-floor patio has glass railings to maximize the Gulf views, whether you are sitting outside at the fire pit on a couch or inside in the kitchen or living room looking out.
✦The upstairs balcony has a sitting bar for many to enjoy, or it can invite a more intimate setting for guests of the master bedroom with a cuddler lounge couch.
✦ Complimentary Beach Service - 4 chairs & 2 umbrellas are set up right in front of the home with your name on them - how convenient! (in-season March 1-October 31)
THE SALT & SERENITY EXPERIENCE
We designed Salt & Serenity around the way we want to vacation with our own family: beautiful enough to feel special, comfortable enough to actually live in, and stocked well enough that you aren't constantly running to the store.
My wife and I have spent more than five years hosting vacation rentals and have maintained approximately a 4.9-star guest rating on Airbnb. That experience has taught us what guests appreciate most — and we've brought those lessons into every detail. Salt & Serenity is professionally managed by Gulf Coast Collective, our boutique vacation-rental management and concierge company.
Salt & Serenity + Gulf Coast Collective = Beautiful home. Incredible beach. Thoughtful hospitality.
THE BEACH WITHOUT THE HAUL
If you've ever stayed in house near the beach you know that “going to the beach” can sometimes feel like moving day. Strollers. Beach bags. Coolers. Wagons, Chairs. Toys. Towels. Snacks. And inevitably, someone forgets something. Lugging all that up and down stairs, through sand etc, while dripping sweat!
At Salt & Serenity, beach days are different.
Step outside and you're there.
Forgot the sunscreen? It's right inside.
Need another drink or snack? Easy.
Little one needs a bathroom or a break from the sun? You're just moments from home.
Want to make lunch without giving up your spot on the beach? Go for it.
That means less time hauling, packing and planning — and more time actually enjoying the reason you came to Destin in the first place.
At Salt & Serenity, the beach isn't a destination. It's your backyard.
Not just a place to stay. A better way to vacation.
YOUR OWN SLICE OF THE EMERALD COAST
One of the things that makes Salt & Serenity special is its location within Green Reef, an intimate beachfront townhome community along Scenic Gulf Drive.
Instead of navigating a huge condo tower, crowded elevators, parking decks and hundreds of other guests, you can walk out of the home and be at the beach in moments.
Spend the morning swimming in the Gulf, come inside for lunch, head back out for the afternoon, and finish the evening watching the sunset from home.
That effortless connection to the beach is what a Destin vacation should feel like.
MADE FOR FAMILIES & GROUPS
With six bedrooms across three floors, Salt & Serenity gives larger groups something that's surprisingly hard to find at the beach: space.
There's room for everyone to gather for meals, games and evenings together, while multiple living and sleeping areas allow guests to find a quiet corner when they want one.
Whether you're bringing grandparents and grandchildren together, vacationing with several families, celebrating a milestone, or simply escaping to the Gulf with friends, the home was designed to make sharing a vacation easy.
We hope to see you for years to come!
