Destin Pointe

The Promenade essay

What it feels like to stay here

Destin Pointe occupies Destin's Holiday Isle, a strip of land bordered by the Gulf of Mexico and by the East Pass, the channel that leads back to Destin Harbor and Choctawhatchee Bay. The community fronts roughly 3,000 feet of white-shimmering beach edged by turquoise Gulf water. From that sand, guests can pass the hours watching fishing, party, and snorkel boats navigate to and from the Gulf. Anglers often cast from the jetties for mackerel, grouper, redfish, flounder, trout, or bluefish. Behind the gates, the mid-rise condo complex called Magnolia House faces East Pass, and a spacious seasonally heated pool and hot tub sit amid lush tropical landscaping. Several quaint seaside cottages, two lighted tennis courts, two scenic lakes, and a shuffleboard fill out the rest of the neighborhood. A tram carries vacationers conveniently to and from the beach, so the walk back from the water never feels like a chore. Just beyond the gate, Destin Harbor launches dolphin cruises, Crab Island excursions, jet-ski rentals, parasailing trips, and snorkeling jaunts, with waterfront dining close at hand. Reservations handled by the Destin Pointe vacation rental office at 3611 Waverly Circle, reachable at 888-210-3180, place guests in the cottages and condominiums that sit within these gates.
