About this stay

Completely remodeled in September 2021, this ~1,200 sq ft townhouse sits directly on the community lake in the family-oriented Southbay By The Gulf community. Two large lakefront zen decks — one off the living room, one off the master bedroom — were made for slow mornings: coffee over the water with turtles, ducks, and seagulls for company, and sunset dinners as the lake turns gold.

Everything inside is new: coastal LVP flooring, white quartz counters, stainless appliances, mattresses, TVs, and fixtures. Cast a line for catch-and-release fishing right from your deck, then take the 3–4 minute stroll to the community’s 300-ft private beach — with a complimentary beach setup (2 chairs + 1 umbrella, March–October) in season.

Book direct with Destin Drift for our best rate and a personal touch — self check-in with your own keypad code, a free washer/dryer in the unit, and reserved parking right at your front door. Room for the whole crew, without the resort crowds.
