“Lakeside Beach House” is a beautifully renovated, airy 2 bedroom, 2.5 bathroom 2-story townhome in Destin. The interior is JUST UPDATED (Jan 2024) with new flooring (no carpet), fresh paint, coastal furnishings, bedding, and new artwork. For those who need to “catch up on a little work,” there is a dedicated workspace in the living room. Calming lake views are enjoyed from the shaded private master deck and the sunny upper-level deck.

"Lakeside Beach House" is child-friendly; however, no pets, please.

Recently furnished is a new king-sized bed in the master bedroom with a soothing lake view from the sliding glass doors onto the privately furnished lower deck. The master bedroom has a private full bathroom. There is a smart TV in the master bedroom.

A twin-over-full bunk bed makes up the guest room with another smart TV. The décor is delightful and makes guests feel at home! A full bathroom is just outside the door.

The sun-filled living room has a sofa and loveseat for kicking back and relaxing comfortably. The living room also has a HUGE Roku/smart TV - so remember to bring your Netflix/Amazon Prime/streaming credentials with you on your trip. With ample living room seating and two outdoor spaces to enjoy, there is more than enough room for everyone to settle in at "Lakeside Beach House."

This privately owned townhome’s kitchen is fully equipped for meals! A combo coffee pot/coffee pod machine is available for our guests.

"Lakeside Beach House" is located in Destin in its own little neighborhood that includes 2 tennis courts, pickle ball courts, two pools, one seasonally-heated, a kiddie pool, a catch-and-release lake and…. a PRIVATE BEACH! The beach is a short stroll away, just over the beautiful footbridge, close enough to get there easily but far enough away to escape the hustle and bustle of beach life. The entrance to the beach and back to the property are gated and locked. Walk out the front door and head in any direction toward fun and entertainment! Destin’s famed Harborwalk (where you’ll find activities, restaurants, and boating charters) is only 2 miles away.

The owners take great pride in providing the types of amenities they look for when traveling. You will find everything you need to cook, grill, relax, and enjoy your vacation, including a full-sized washer and dryer in the unit, power stations on each nightstand, bathroom amenities, extra beach chairs, a pack-n-play, and a booster seat for your use.

All the convenience for families with kids! It was our first time to Destin as a family...we never left Lakeside during our long weekend stay over the 4th of July (except for 1 date night while our boys, ages 3 and 5 stayed with friends in Perdido Key). We flew in from Pensacola airport and the arrival and entire stay was all easy process! The entry level has the 2 bedrooms and kitchen was upstairs. No carrying luggage up and down the stairs. We enjoyed the deck for EVERY meal (except 1). Lakeside was a cozy retreat for us all and only a 7 minute walk to the beach with a 3 and 5 year old! The wagon and beach cart, toys made our trips to/from the beach easier. Having access to the beach service chairs and umbrella was key...it lessened the load. This was the first time our boys had a beach vacation where we spent the entire day (EVERY day) at the beach (except during nap time). They enjoyed the boardwalk, watching the turtles and the views from the deck and even the telescope to see the moon! We don't sit still very well and very adventurous, so this vacation was quite a treat to stay put and enjoy all the amenties. And the fireworks...you don't even have to leave to watch them elsewhere! Miles of fireworks and the best show was right over our heads (literally!). After doing a little beach strip cruising, we all agreed that we landed the BEST spot for our first trip to Destin...all the amenities and convenience without getting into your car!

Lakeside Beach House

We stayed for five nights at the Lakeside Beach House. We have two boys, ages 11 and 14, and the house was perfect! Our whole family enjoyed our stay very much. Donna checked in with us frequently. As soon as the house was ready, we received a text that we could check in a few hours earlier than expected. On our first day, we went to the beach in the late afternoon. We quickly found two men who helped us get chairs and an umbrella. We were placed in the second row, but when we arrived the next day at 9:00, one of the men told us we were already set up in the first row because he sensed I was a little disappointed being in the second row. The chairs and umbrella were set up before we even got to the beach for the rest of our stay. When we arrived, the house was clean. We all enjoyed feeding the turtles with the turtle food provided, which lasted us all week. The house was stocked with everything we needed. I brought additional toilet paper, paper towels, and dish soap, but I never needed them. I did one to two loads of laundry daily, so I brought and used my detergent and dryer sheets, but two pods were provided for free. The house was around a five-minute walk to the beach. The king bed was one of the comfiest beds I have ever slept on. Donna provided links to the bed and bedding, which was so kind. The beach house is in a great location near shops and dining. We had a great time and have no complaints at all!

Great Stay

Our family stayed at Lakeside for a week. We had a great time! The beach and water are beautiful and the beach service for chairs and umbrella was great! The owner provided more than expected as far as beach items; a beach wagon and cart, coolers, boogie boards, 2 chairs, sand toys (we only brought half of what they had to the beach). The owner was fantastic at responding when we had a question about where to view fireworks. So glad we didn't book a fireworks cruise since we got an amazing first row 10 minute fireworks display on the beach for free! We only ate out once at Fudpuckers. It was good food, but be aware they spice it pretty well, even the fries. The turtles were a huge hit with the kids and adults alike. Pots and pans were fantastic. We cooked pretty much every breakfast and dinner, usually sandwiches for lunch. Also, the soaps were all very high quality! And we appreciated having the 4 beach towels in addition to the ones we brought. Having a full size washer and dryer was great too, since it was running almost everyday. The Destin Boardwalk Harbor is close by and we took a Dolphin cruise with Olin Marler and had a great time, the boat had A/C! Highway 98 traffic is terrible, but it is a popular area. All in all a wonderful trip! If only it wasnt such a long drive from upstate SC.

We enjoyed our stay and the beautiful lake view. We ate on the deck everyday overlooking the lake (both morning & night). The beach was a few steps away from the house, umbrella service made it super easy to enjoy without schlepping tons of stuff with us. The townhome is centrally located with stores and restaurants all within walking distance.

Quiet,comfortable, well supplied home

We enjoyed the quiet location, the short walk to the beach (not crossing busy streets but a beautiful lake instead) and the super well stocked home. We did not enjoy the smelly master bathroom which I think varied based on how much marijuana the next unit was smoking, so that was out of our control. We also did not think the chair/umbrella system was ideal (based off arrival at Southbay; not first come first served but the worst was the attendants abrasive demeanor) also not in our control. Would likely stay again.

The location was great – we were within a mile and a half of most places we went to eat, entertain, and a Target and a grocery store were just across the road. It was just the vacation we needed.
