The Space:

Let's Get a Little....Southbound!



Located in Destiny East, Southbound is the perfect place to spend your next family vacation! Beach Reunion is proud to offer to our guests this beautiful and spacious vacation home featuring an immaculate layout for large families and a massive/newly renovated pool and spa. This 7-bedroom, 5.5 bath home will feature use of a luxurious kitchen and dining area, a two car garage, a golf cart, 3 King Suites, 3 King Bedrooms plus a Custom Bunk Room for the young ones.



Upon entry, guests will find an inviting and open-air foyer with a grand staircase and crystal-clear lighting. Southbound features a fresh and updated kitchen and dining room with space for the entire family to enjoy time together. Luxurious accents and amenities at every turn with granite countertops, stainless steel refrigerator/freezer, double ovens, gas cooktop range, two dishwashers and microwave. The dine in island/breakfast bar features seating for 6 in plush barstools. The well crafted and cozy dining room off the kitchen has seating for 8 guests with beautiful views surrounding the table.



Just off the kitchen and dining area, enjoy a cup of coffee or a movie night in the sitting area with seating for 6 guests, a large flat screen TV and DVD player. The beauty of this room is the open air “observatory” style ceiling with large windows for maximum lighting overhead and an overlook from the second floor into the first. Step outside to the patio where there’s yet another large flat screen TV, plenty of seating and what could be the crown jewel of this property, the pool. This beautiful newly renovated pool/spa area boasts a massive swim up ledge, an overflow spa, plenty of lounge chairs for sunbathing and lots of space to splash around. Enjoy use of the private BBQ grill or head up to the sun deck on the second floor for even more Florida sunshine and fun.



We didn’t spare any expense on luxury for the amenities, why should the sleeping arrangements be any different? Head inside when the day ends for a good night’s rest in one of 3 King Suites, 3 King Bedrooms or the large custom-built bunk room. On the first floor, 2 King Suites with Private Bathrooms, with the Master King Suite featuring double vanities and a large, jetted tub, shower and water closet. Up the grand staircase, guests will enjoy 3 additional King Bedrooms, 1 King Suite and the bunk room with 2 sets of custom-built Queen over Queen bunk beds with a seating area and flat screen TV. The access to the large sun deck is just out the French doors from this bunk room.

Enjoy all of the amenities that the gated community of Destiny East has to offer including tennis courts, a community pool and long walking/running trails throughout.

Absolutely beautiful property, our first time staying in a home as opposed to a condo as our family grows. The house is gorgeous and honestly could have stayed there and skipped the beach there was so much to do. Well maintained property especially the kitchen we planned to go out to dinner but instead opted to cook, and enjoy the pool. The kitchen ammenties had top notch ammenties and everything we needed. Love the big center island! Wish I could have stayed longer. Beach Reunion responded to all my questions almost immediately. So glad I opted for a home with pool as with a 17th month old it made it hard to stay on the beach all day. It was so peaceful and relaxing I think I may have actually convinced my husband that we need a pool!

This was the most beautiful and well stocked home we have ever stayed in. The pool was clean and seating around the pool was plentiful. The bunkroom/game room provided hours of entertainment when storms prevented outside activities. Our host was great quick to answer any questions.

Great location!!!

We thoroughly enjoyed the property with our large family. Communication was great. The home was clean. Two dishwashers and 2 refrigerators were great to have. Thanks for the free use of the golf cart. We rented 3 bikes that were enjoyed as well. My only suggestion would be to powerwash the patio cushions and replace the outside dining chairs. They are rusted and dangerous for little ones with sharp, rusty edges. The grill needs replaced as well. The baffels are rusted through and there is a large hole in the bottom. Overall we were very pleased. The pool was amazing and the landscaping is beautiful!

Destin hideaway

We loved the house & pool. We had 8 adults and 7 kids who loved this house. It is in a gated community that is very safe. The golf cart could take up to 9 people to the beach, dinner, or to get ice cream. The host were extremely responsive, we had two minor issues that were addressed within a few hours. Highly recommended this property - it was probably the nicest our family has ever stayed in.

Not so perfect getaway

Beautiful home, great pool! However, upon arrival, the bathrooms weren't very clean and the house had some cobwebs. The outdoor grill was never cleaned after prior visitors and the pool was also dirty. The outside furniture could really be replaced as we had some chairs that weren't very safe and cushions were gross. We were supposed to have a golfcart to use, but it was broken. When we contacted mamagment they were quick to respond. For the amount we paid to stay at this rental, we shouldnt have had any of these issues.

Premier home in a lovely quiet gated neighborhood with access to a nice community pool, workout room and courts. Short drive in the street-legal electric 6 passenger cart to the beaches and restaurants. Large swimming pool with lots of outdoor seating. We enjoyed it very much.

Great family beach house

We had 15 people staying at this property and it was perfect! Mostly king beds fit our family well since we have mostly adult couples. The community is nice and quiet and the little ones could ride their ride on toys with very little traffic. The pool was huge and had plenty of seating available. The multiple fridges served our large family well. The golf cart made getting to the beach access easy. The only downside is the front door doesn’t lock on the inside and our youngest could easily open and run out. But all and all, would stay there again!

A great week in Destin

We loved the house and the pool. In our 17 or so years of doing family get-togethers this house and pool combination is the best we have ever rented and both were in great condition. We haf a wide range of ages. married and not married couples, so the different multiple bedroom arrangements made it very easy to make sure all had suitable accommodations. The pool was perfect, large enough to actually swim but with multiple depths so everyone could use it comfortably and safely at the same time. Only real drawback was our ability to get everyone to and back from the beach. It wasn't far but it did require number of trips even with the 6 person cart provided. Kitchen facilities were more than adequate and we could seat our 13 people easily. The house is large so we never seemed to be crowded and the outside TV/lounge area and multiple chairs and lounge chairs around the pool also allowed all to be together without being over crowded.

Family loved this house, although the coffee maker did not work, and wifi/tv did not work on the final day of our stay. Wrist bands are required for the amenities, but we were only given 4 wrist bands for a group of 17. We loved this place so much we would stay here again anyway.

Beautiful Home

This rental was a great place for a big family. We had so much fun in the pool, the home was close to the beach, the golf cart was an awesome bonus, and the whole gated community was beautiful. Would definitely recommend this home. The only issues( just little inconveniences really)were the following: 1. Not enough towels and wash clothes to accommodate 20 people for a whole week. We had to wash towels almost every day. 2. We checked in on Saturday and the golf cart stopped working on Wednesday. We didn't receive a replacement. It wasn't a huge deal but the golf cart made it very convenient to travel to and from the beach.

Nice family home for Big group

This is a very nice home with great amenities. I’m super picky with cleanliness so there are places that could have been cleaned better but being such a big house, could be easy to miss some things. The second master suite’s bathroom on the first floor is super tiny and not cut out for two people but doable. Overall super convenient location in very nice neighborhood. Bring your own pool towels because they only have bath towels.

Perfect Getaway

Southbound was the perfect getaway for our large family group. We felt secure in the beautiful gated community and it was just a short ride to the white sand beach in the 6 passenger golf cart! Great gathering spots are found outside around the pool too! We had super quick responses to any inquiries while at the property and that was really nice.
