Open the door to an exciting piece of paradise at this Italian-inspired luxury rental. This property is in the fashionable Destiny East section of Destin, Florida. The house is carefully designed to accommodate large groups but with the added touch of providing privacy for everyone.
Since the property has four floors, an elevator will transition guests from the bottom floor to the third section of the house.
The spacious, beautifully designed foyer opens to a large, ground-floor living room, carefully crafted for conversation. There’s a flat-screen TV, a kitchenette, and a convenient powder room. The beautiful indoor fireplace is meant for visual enjoyment only and is not intended for guest use. The second floor open-concept dining area and bar seating compliment the expansive kitchen planned for a free flow of activity with all the comforts of home, and high-end appliances.
The six bedrooms have king or queen-sized beds, with a bunk room that has four, full-sized beds and ensuite bathrooms. All bedroom windows offer panoramic sights. The king primary bedroom on the third floor has a lovely, enclosed sitting room with scenic views. The ensuite bath has a toilet room, separate tub, and standing shower.
However, there are many surprising and quaint aspects to this rental. From the third floor, up a charming spiral staircase is the Crow’s Nest loft. This area has a seating space, efficiency kitchen, wet bar, and a roof-top balcony. Lounge chairs are perfect for sunning with a 360-degree, birds-eye view of your surroundings.
Another sensational component of this property is a bonus living area with its own living room, wet bar, and a full-sized kitchen/dining area. Bunk and sofa beds complete this comfortable, secluded space.
A carefully manicured landscape ensures privacy around the lagoon-style pool, which can be heated for an extra fee during the off-season. The pool area includes a hot tub, fountain, and an outside shower. But the emerald waters and pristine white sandy beaches of the Gulf Coast will lure you to the water’s edge, just minutes away and easily accessible.
This gated community invites more enjoyment at Club Destiny, which has a large, seasonally heated pool, hot tub, and community kitchen/grilling area. Lounge chairs are plentiful, and activities such as golf, tennis, biking, boating, and water sports are nearby at an extra charge.
Emerald Coast vacation rentals don’t get much more magnificent than Tranquility.
About the Community:
This gated community in Destin, Florida, was thoughtfully developed with luxury beach rentals that are an easy walking distance to the pristine sands and emerald waters of the Gulf of Mexico. However, there are so many amenities within this upper-scale community.
Club Destiny is a high-end communal gathering spot with something for everyone. The Fitness Center has floor-to-ceiling windows providing panoramic views while you utilize their modern equipment as you work in your daily exercise routine. Then, do laps in one of two pools. The main pool is lagoon-style with a fountain, while the second pool is at the water’s edge of Four Prong Lake. Of course, the hot tub is a relaxing option.
For families, there’s a JMax theater and a playground that provides comfortable seating while parents oversee playtime. If you’re into competitive sports, there are tennis, pickleball, and basketball courts. But boat rentals and water sports activities are also plentiful in this part of Northwest Florida.
The vacation home is air-conditioned and features a kitchen, 6.5 bathrooms, and a balcony. There's space to spread out with 7 bedrooms and a dining area. Guests can enjoy a Smart TV and stay connected with free WiFi. Other standard amenities include a private pool, a washing machine, and a fireplace. Limited housekeeping is available.

Tumultuous
I don’t like to rate a place as being bad. This house was beautiful. The pool was not in working condition though. The spa didn’t work. The house was spotless. Very clean and accommodating, however after all the rain came ,it rained in the house. Causing damage to the windows. Maintenance jumped right on it. The elevator was out of order, so my older in laws had to stay on the ground floor. Overall, our stay was great. We had fun, and that was our objective. To be with family and have a good time.

Family vacation
The property was not efficiently maintained. This is advertised with a pool but the pool was not operation at all during our stay. There were many other small issues like leaks and lights that didn’t work. The location is great but it was a huge let down for 8 kids to find out they couldn’t use the pool.

Overall the house was clean. The kitchen could use some new pans and some updated cooking utensils. Location was great, easy walk to the beach, close to restaurants & shopping. Hot tub gets very hot and the heated pool was nice for our New Year’s stay! Amenity center had a nice playground, big pool & hottub and pickleball courts.

Excellent Property
My family and I visited the property for Thanksgiving Holiday. The house itself was great. Located within a gated community, we felt safe and secure. There was no issue with accessing the property or any of the amenities. My niece (15) loved the bikes. We didn't make use of the garage because the driveway better than accommodated our vehicles.
There was plenty of room for everybody and the Carriage House provide a great private space for the couple. Regardless to age or physical limitations. My dad (86) was able to maneuver through the spacious house without incident and my niece (39) really enjoyed being able to move around the house using the elevator and not being restricted because of her wheelchair. The master bedroom was UH-MAZING, complete with a garden tub. The kitchen was well equipped (Although, some of the cooking pans could stand to be replaced). There were more than enough plates, cups, glasses and cooking utensils. The starter packs provided by the owner were great. We literally had everything we needed and more.
The outside temperature didn't allow use of the pool, but the hot tub was great for relaxing after a day of shopping. The weather did a flip-flop on us the last two days (it rained, and the temperature dropped) but everyone was comfortable. The property is conveniently located to shopping (grocery stores, mall, pharmacy), the beach, restaurants, and fun activities. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED

Traquility
House could use update. Floors were dirty. Had issue with air conditioning in third floor being replaced. After installation, I had to clean floor in bathroom as it was dusty and full of dirt. Did not plan on housekeeping on my vacation. We did enjoy sitting outside on top deck

Family Vacation!
We had a great week! The house was nice and accommodating and the community was perfect. My only complaints about the property are…the jets never worked on the hot tub, the kitchen wasn’t stocked very well(the cookware is scratched really bad) and the tile in the kitchen has huge cracks that will pinch your foot. Other than that this is a beautiful home that we enjoyed so much as a family!

Bring the utensils
Overall the location and house were as described. It was a short walk to the beach that even the littlest kids could handle. Elevator was great for transporting luggage up to the top floor. Second floor is a great open space with living room, kitchen and dining but… the kitchen is lacking on pots/pans and serving or prep utensils. Also some of the ones that were provided didn’t work properly. We made due but that made it very difficult to prep meals for our larger party. You may also want to bring your own cleaning supplies. A couple more brooms and a vacuum cleaner to help keep sand to a minimum. Beware of the HOA and pay close attention to where you park. I was warned by FunVacay about the first “offense” and we were able to avoid others but there is no warnings. $50 fine for parking “violations”. Also the HOA charged us twice for a single offense and had to call FunVacay to fix the situation. Something I’m sure no one wants to do while on vacation.
Overall the house provided us a place to sleep and the room descriptions were accurate. If it’s what you need it will do the job. If you are looking for luxury and ease for a vacation, you may want to look further for another property. The highlight for the kids from this property was probably the big community pool and beach.
