Palm Haus at Southbay by the Gulf- Steps to Beach - 3BR Destin - 2 Pools

Five minutes to the sand. Two pools. Your own front door parking. Palm Haus is a 3-bedroom Destin townhome where your group actually relaxes — not fights over elevator access or hunts for a parking spot in a garage three blocks away. Private gated beach access, a heated pool for winter visits, pickleball and tennis courts when you need to move, and a fully stocked kitchen when you don't feel like going out. Sleeps 10 across a king suite, queen bedroom, and a bunk room the kids will fight over.

Palm Haus sits directly on a tranquil lake in the Southbay by the Gulf community, a short walk from the sand and a world away from the crowded resort towers.
