Destin, a beautiful city on Florida’s Emerald Coast, is a great place to visit. Blessed with stunning white beaches, the city 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. If you are visiting this idyllic destination and you don’t know where to stay, here is a list of the best Airbnb vacation rentals in Destin, Florida.

What’s on in and near Destin:

  • Enjoy over 10 hours of live performances from talented artists at The Emerald Coast Songwriter’s Spring Music Festival on March 30, 2024. From the soulful tunes of Faithe Franklin to the energetic country rock songs by Bruce Smelley, various genres will be represented at the event, so you're sure to find something you love.
  • Philanthropists should make sure to attend Corks for a Cause on April 18, 2024, from 5pm to 7pm. Try amazing wine and food, all while contributing to Northwest Florida Guardian ad Litem Foundation's mission to support the needs of abused, abandoned, and neglected children. This event will happen in Pensacola, which is around one-and-a-half hours from Destin via road.

We handpicked these listings carefully, considering (wherever possible) Superhost status, recent guest reviews, location, accommodation type, prices, availability of dates, decor, and amenities. The image galleries get refreshed with the latest updates regularly. They were last updated on March 02, 2024.

1. Seventh-floor apartment with resort view (from USD 223)

This spacious three-bedroom condo provides a perfect setting for anyone looking to spend their time overlooking the ocean. The living area here offers the best view from the apartment through its floor-to-ceiling windows. Make sure to step out onto the balcony and take in that ocean breeze, and you won’t be disappointed. As someone who also travels to uncover more about himself, I particularly love that I can just spend hours on the balcony watching the waves clash against the shore.

This rental comes with private beach access. So, make sure to grab the access card to get to the beach and other parts of the building, including the parking as well. Other amenities available here include a shared hot tub, gym, and a pool. You’ll even have a jetted tub in the master bathroom.

More information from the host, Karen:

2. Crystal Coyaba (from USD 367)

Step into Crystal Coyaba, a gorgeous retreat offering a beachfront setting with a plethora of amenities to make your stay as convenient and memorable as possible. Besides the private beach access, the host also provides you with an umbrella and two beach chairs to elevate your beach time experience.

For those who are not so fond of the sand getting inside their footwear, there’s a path that runs next to the beach. This 6-mi (9.66-km) path is suitable for anyone looking to get some cardio done.

Family-friendly amenities are available as well for those planning to bring their kids with them. You could make use of the travel cot, the high chair, and the changing table as per your needs. Additionally, the property is smoke-free, so you can rest assured that your little ones will breathe in clean air. Moreover, the rental offers a discount to anyone booking their stay for seven days or more.

More information about the property:

  • Once you've completed your booking, you will receive a request from Airbnb's resolution center to pay Okaloosa County Tourist Development Tax. The county requires tax to be collected on every reservation, and since Airbnb doesn't support this feature yet, you'll have to pay the six-percent tax separately.
  • Instead of security deposits and booking fees, each booking here includes LoveRentals Protect. The fee for this protection plan covers up to 10,000 USD in contents damage protection and up to 1,000,000 USD in real property protection. Exceptions can include cancellations, intentional acts, negligent conduct, and pet damage.
  • Check-in and check-out times are strictly enforced, and you will have to pay an additional 200-USD fee if you leave after 10am.

3. Deja View (from USD 64)

Deja View is a gorgeous beachfront apartment with private beach access. The best part about this rental is that you won’t have to worry about your child crossing a street or a crowd while heading to the beach, as there are none along the way.

While at the beach, you could consider renting the beach amenities from a local beach service. However, the host does provide beach towels for added convenience. And don’t worry about getting the sand all in your hair because there’s an outdoor shower on the way back to the apartment. Prefer safer swims? There’s a shared heated pool on site as well, accessible throughout the year between 8am and 10pm.

Consider traveling light and throw that dirty laundry in the complimentary washer and dryer provided at the rental. Moreover, the rental offers extra pillows and blankets, so you only need to bring what’s necessary for the trip. Make sure that you check out all the amenities offered here before you begin packing.
