Destin, a beautiful city on Florida’s Emerald Coast, is a great place to visit. Blessed with stunning white beaches, this picturesque place gets its name from a fishing captain who built a home and fished in the area. A favorite destination for tourists, Destin is famous for its plentiful fish population and crystal-like white sands. It is even referred to in some circles as “the world’s luckiest fishing village” as fishing is one of its main attractions. This fantastic city offers visitors several exciting activities to do. Chill on its pristine beaches as you watch the kids build sandcastles, shop in one of its upscale boutiques, play golf at its lush golf courses, dine on delicious cuisines at the numerous world-class restaurants, or have a family day at one of the top theme parks in the city. Destin is also teeming with great places to stay from family-size Airbnbs to solo-size apartments and anything in between. If you are visiting this perfect vacation destination and you don’t know where to stay, here is a list of the best Airbnbs in Destin, Florida.
