​​​​​​​More about Summer by the Sea
Summer by the Sea is located in the exclusive neighborhood of Destin Pointe on Holiday Isle. This location is unique because of the close proximity to a special beach with calm waters protected by the jetties and is a beloved location for snorkeling by locals and tour groups, all just a five minute stroll from the house! Sleeping 13 across four bedrooms, this beach house is ideal for family groups looking to enjoy the Florida sunshine! Summer by the Sea also boasts a private pool with lounging area and grill that guests can use even in inclement weather!

Let the calm wash over as you enter Summer by the Sea. Bright whites and cool blues accented with natural wood tones welcome you to a peacefulness that you can only find at the beach. An open floor plan allows guests to move between spaces effortlessly and connects the kitchen, dining, and living room. The living room is a plush space with seating for eight and provides access to the balcony where guests can bask in the sun and enjoy the neighborhood. A large dining table is available nearby, seating eight guests and the kitchen will be found next. This kitchen is white, clean and has all the essentials for any home cook including stainless steel appliances, gas stove, and bar seating for four - a great place to enjoy a breakfast. One queen bedroom is offered on this main floor and includes an en suite with a large walk-in shower and access to a shared balcony overlooking the pool.

The main level being on the second story allows for a private oasis under the house and is a swanky place to hang out in the evenings. Here guests will find some furniture to lounge on, a grill, and a partially covered pool so guests can enjoy this space in any weather!

Additional sleeping arrangements are available on the third floor of this beautiful beach house - two queen bedrooms share a bathroom with a tub/shower combo, a bunk room with one twin/twin/twin bunk and one twin/twin bunk, and the primary queen bedroom. The primary bedroom hosts a gorgeous ensuite with a large walk-in shower and dual sinks plus this room boasts a private balcony with a peek-a-boo view of the emerald waters!

Perhaps the best place to catch a sunset and enjoy a cocktail is on the fourth floor, out on the rooftop terrace overlooking the neighborhood. This cozy space has couches for lounging, an additional air conditioner to stay cool and a spectacular view of the Emerald Coast sunset! Find your peace at the beach and plan to spend your Summer at the Sea!

Amazing location, close to the beach. The bikes and beach chairs were a nice touch. Awesome kitchen and living area, rooftop hangout area, and very clean. The bedrooms do get bright when the sun comes up. Awesome spot and five star properties was great!!

If you choose this home, you definitely won't be disappointed. It is beautiful. It has every amenity you need for a terrific beach trip. And the management company is outstanding. They were super responsive, very helpful and even delivered a nice gift upon arrival. Terrific experience. I will definitely consider this home again.

Positives: Beach Chairs and pool floats were provided A/C worked great Easy access/5 min. walk to the beach. A complimentary charcuterie board was delivered! mini shampoo, conditioner, lotion and body wash was provided for all the bathrooms Overall a clean house in a safe gated area Negatives: No blankets to use on the couches when hanging out on a rainy day or when lounging. Main floor bathroom sink in the bedroom wouldn't drain No blinds on some of the windows and doors that faced other houses. Roll down blinds would be GREAT! The fan in the bunk room didn't work.

3 of the 4 bedrooms have full size balcony doors with no shades. The light comes in at the crack of dawn with no way to cover it. It is impossible to sleep in because of this. People can see in your bedroom at night. Management company knew the cable/ internet had problems. Arrived, and there was no TV/ Internet. We called for repair. The repairman came. /He told us the last 4 guests had the same problem. Cable had been cut by construction next door (we didn't get advised about the construction either). They had put some kind of Verizon box in house that worked off of a cell tower. You could not stream TV, and it went out again after a couple of hours. We called every day and complained at length. I got hung up on. I admit I was entirely frustrated and was not speaking too kindly. I was told on the 1st call that we would get a repair or compensation. We did not get either at first. Finally, we were offered compensation. Actually they asked what we would want for compensation. I replied $150 per guest for the 4 guests. They replied that was too much for the cable going out. I replied that when they knew in advance that they were going to ruin our vacation that involved expensive airfare, etc. It was the least they could do. They should have called and told us that there was going to be a problem and offered us a chance to cancel at no charge. However, their GREED prevented them from doing so. We had to settle for $100 apiece. I would highly recommend to rent elsewhere.
