SunDestin Coastal Retreat With Elevated Beachfront Views

Summary:

Designed for both relaxation and convenience, SunDestin 1202 combines comfortable sleeping arrangements with charming coastal details throughout. The fully equipped kitchen, spacious dining area, and open living room create inviting gathering spaces for family meals and movie nights. Outside, Adirondack seating on the balcony offers the perfect spot to enjoy Gulf views, fresh sea breezes, and peaceful moments overlooking the Emerald Coast.



The Space:

Situated along the breathtaking beaches of Destin, FL, and just a short drive to local dining, shopping, and popular attractions, is SunDestin Beach Resort. It’s known for its many amenities, sweeping views of the Gulf of Mexico, and lasting vacation memories. Whether you’re looking to maximize your time at the resort or explore what Destin has to offer, SunDestin Beach Resort has an onsite 24/7 front desk managed by the warm and friendly staff of Scenic Stays available to you for all your needs.



SunDestin Beach Resort is a premier resort offering so many amenities, it’s hard to try them all, but we encourage you to accept the challenge. After a long day of beach play along Destin’s sugar-white sand and emerald, green water, retreat to the property and enjoy our newly renovated outdoor pool, and an outdoor hot tub. Get lost in conversation with your companion at the outdoor tiki bar. Browse through the gift shop for beach essentials or grab a DVD from the complimentary DVD box. Keep your workout regime going with some cardio and strength training in the fitness facility, ending in the sauna. SunDestin Beach Resort keeps you in a beach state of mind, but if you decide to leave the property, local restaurants and shopping are just a couple of miles away.



Upon entering SunDestin Unit 1202, you’ll find the master bedroom off to the right. Continuing down the hallway are bunk beds with thoughtful lighting fixtures in each bunk for the little ones. A coastal theme greets you with tasteful accents of coral decor and calming hues of blue and green. Cook a meal for your family in the fully stocked kitchen, recap the day in the dining area with ample seating, or enjoy a movie on the flat-panel television with a DVD player. Most importantly, enjoy breathtaking views of the Gulf of Mexico from the balcony with Adirondack chair seating. SunDestin 1202 is designed with a coastal vibe in mind, with relaxing and comfortable decor in the master bedroom, beckoning you to take a long night’s sleep.



This Destin vacation rental is a 1-bedroom unit with a half bathroom ensuite and an attached full bathroom. The full bathroom can be accessed from both the master bedroom and the hallway. This unit can comfortably sleep up to six people with a king bed in the master bedroom, bunks in the hallway, and a queen-sized sleeper sofa in the living area.



Guests under 22 must be accompanied by an adult chaperone throughout their stay. Pets are unfortunately not welcome and are subject to immediate departure if found to be inhabiting a property. Smoking is strictly forbidden.



Please note that La Dolce Vita is the beach service vendor for this property. While beach service rentals are not included in your stay, you can easily contact them directly for all your rental needs.



Work on your to-do list today by booking a beach vacation you won’t forget at SunDestin Beach Resort. We hope to welcome you soon!



***Please note: As part of an exciting resort enhancement project, some amenities at SunDestin Beach Resort remain under construction, including the restaurant, outdoor pools, steam room, and spa. Please note that the splash pad is currently not operable and will remain closed until further notice while ownership determines future plans for the area. The fitness center remains open for guest use during this time.



Guests may continue to enjoy beach access via the ADA-accessible pathway located around the side of the building. Please also note that there is currently a temporary detour in place for lobby access as enhancement work continues in select areas of the resort.



While construction activity is still present on-site, it is now far less invasive than it has been previously as the project enters its final stages and crews continue winding down operations. We are thoughtfully welcoming reservations while setting clear expectations in advance to help ensure a comfortable and positive stay during this improvement phase.



These enhancements are designed to elevate the guest experience for years to come, and we look forward to welcoming guests to a beautifully refreshed SunDestin Beach Resort—one that reflects the level of care, comfort, and coastal hospitality our owners and guests expect.

After reading some reviews on other rooms and the construction going on at the resort I was skeptic and was about to cancel staying here, I'm glad I didn't. The room was very nice and clean, the view was incredible as advertised. There was construction going on but we never heard them while in the room. Overall a great experience!

Thank you for a very enjoyable stay. The ocean view from the balcony was incredible. The king size bed was very comfortable and the grandkids enjoyed the bunks. The large TV\'s were enjoyed by all.

We loved this Condo!

The location is great...close to many area restuarants and activities! The beach is as good as it gets with the balcony views are priceless...east to west! The Condo is brand new renovated and was spotless! All new appliances and a fullly stocked kitchen. The beds were very comfortable too! Everything worked good as should be! The tv and cable did not want to link up but we were not there to watch the tube anyway! The pools were clean and the staff were very nice and helpful! We would fefinately stay there again! Great quality and service!

Love this place!

We absolutely loved this unit. It was as beautiful as the pictures show and the view was incredible. Excellent updates throughout and the layout was perfect for us. We had two small families and it was exactly what we needed. The kids loved the bunk beds! We had quick and easy access to the beach which was great.

First time staying here

Very friendly staff. Could use some A/C in elevators and elevator lobbies on each floor A/C in unit had a difficult time keeping unit cool but box fans provided helped a bit Would have loved to have a washer and dryer in the unit itself as walking to washer and dryer AND having to pay to wash clothes was highly inconvenient Over all we had a great week.

Perfect Vacation!

I have stayed here a couple of times before and each stay has exceeded my expectations. We absolutely loved the recent upgrades to the condo. The new open shelving is exactly what we needed for storage. The new appliances worked excellent. It felt like home! The staff went above and beyond to make sure we had everything we needed. We will definitely keep coming back!

Great Stay

We enjoyed our stay in this condo. It was right on the beach with a perfect balcony view of the water! We saw a school of fish and a cool manta ray while just sitting outside. The beach service was awesome! It was nice not having to lug umbrellas and canopies down to the beach when renting from the property. The prices were not bad at all! We also enjoyed the restaurant downstairs. I recommend the mahi mahi sandwich!! The inside of the condo was very cozy. All of the beds slept comfortably, even the pull out couch (which is hard to find!). The location was good. We were near a lot of restaurants and even Walmart was up the street for any last minute necessities. The only recommendation we would have is to maybe have some rugs at the front and back door so that sand isn’t tracked throughout. We swept a lot, which we didn’t mind.

The one star is not for the actual condo but rather the rental company, scenic stays. This was a mother / daughter trip.The weather was going to be cool so I wanted an indoor pool. I had found many properties, but decided on this one based on all the reviews. So, I booked it and paid. Upon arrival, we noticed that it was under intense construction. Like, Half of the entire building, and the main lobby. We checked in and I mentioned how I had no idea it was under construction and it was LOUD! I asked her where the indoor pool was and she told me it was “temporarily closed”, as is the restaurant. I later found out where it was and have pictures of the VRBO post and the current status of the pools. The walls were completely gone and there in fact would be no more indoor pool. The construes was so loud that it woke us up in the morning. I have videos that I wanted to show my husband to show the ridiculousness of it all. When we got off the elevator, there were barricades that a construction worker had to move for us, taped up windows and door handles leading us to our condo door. I went back and forth messaging scenic stays and the only thing they kept saying was that they “understood my disappointment but this info was listen in the portal” BEWARE!! I did not receive this information until AFTER I paid and booked through VRBO. Terrible business ethic and I will not be using scenic shores again.
View from our balcony of where the indoor pool was.
Poor signage to the lobby through a side door. We had to ask a construction worker how to get to the lobby and saw others having to as well.

Five Star Stay!

Everything about my trip to Destin exceeded expectations. This property was stunning! The condo was very clean and we got to check in earlier than expected. I loved how the unit had been updated with new appliances. The ice maker in the refrigerator produced quickly which was much needed for hot beach days. There was a lot of convenient storage space which was nice to pack away our belongings rather than have our suitcases laying out like at a hotel. The property was beautiful with the kindest staff. Every person we came in contact with was so friendly and helpful. My only complaint is minor. On the balcony of the deck there were just a few tiles that were cracked and broken or a little wobbly. From 12 stories up it was a little scary when you accidentally step on a shaky tile. I fully understand there is constant wear and tear with different people staying there every week and the elements outside. I won't hold that against the property at all. We will definitely book another trip through ScenicStays here!!!

Beach Stay August 2021

We had a great time at this property. I went with my teenage daughter and son. It was located off the beach with just a short walk to the water. My only complaint would be I wish the room came with a few boogie boards or beach accessories. We bought a bunch of stuff and ended up leaving it out in the hall when we left since we couldn't take them on the plane.Apart from that it was perfect. I would also have liked a few rugs near the beds. The sand that accumulated was small but we hate to have dirty feet getting into bed.
