The partial beach view was gorgeous. Clean house, beautiful, exactly as described. Great layout. Easy walk to the beach. Safe area. Highly recommended!
We absolutely loved this vacation home. The location, views, access to the beach, amenities, and the management company were all amazing. We will definitely stay here again!
Absolute Destiny was the perfect home for our family trip! Location was excellent and the house had everything we needed. Communication with property management very good as well. Would definitely book this home again in the future.
This house was perfection… perfect location just steps to the beach. Walking distance to a few restaurants. Took a 30 min drive and chartered a boat to crab island which was a perfect day! This house was clean and well stocked and decorated beautifully. We were comfortable and had everything we needed.
This property had a few peoblems but the communication with the property management company was quick and easy. The elevator helped so much with my in laws!! And my view from bed was impeccable!!
Our family thoroughly enjoyed this home. Highlights were three large bedrooms each with their own bath; basement bunk room for the kiddos and very short walk to the neighborhood beach access walkway. The pool was nice as well.
We traveled with two families with teenagers. The layout of the house and the location of the house to the beach was perfect! We will recommend both this house and the neighborhood to our friends and family, too!
This house is beautiful, spacious, and has everything that you need for a perfect stay. The location is just a few steps to the water, and having security at the gate always makes you feel safe! It is three stories, so the elevator was great for my husband, who couldn’t walk the stairs. Enjoyed!
Had a great time and already booked again! I wouldn’t hesitate staying here! My only thing I hope they fix is the black metal gate to go to the front entrance! Thank you!
I wish I could give this property a bad review so we could keep it all to ourselves, but it was fantastic. It's a great place to stay as a family. I will say if you plan on using the bunks on the first floor you may want to bring a mattress cover or just forgo them all together and bring air mattresses. They are pretty rough to sleep on., but it was still worth it.
The house was perfect for our group of ten. Our kids all loved the bunk bed room. The elevator was a game changer for my father in navigating the house. It was literally steps away to beach access to the neighborhood’s private beach. We all agreed that we would definitely stay there again.
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at destiny by the sea. The home was more than what we could’ve ever imagined. Beautifully decorated and amazing location. Beach access is right outside of your front steps. This was the best part of the whole stay. We would wake up in the morning and just walk right outside directly onto a private beach. I highly recommend this for a large group or family.
Awesome home! Great location next to beach access. Compass was easy to work with and attentive to concerns. Homeowners association is a little over the top with several rules. We had one kid who lost a $0.25 wristband in the ocean and were charged $25.00 for at the conclusion, which I though was excessive but overall a great experience!

Just ok for the money
We have stayed in destiny by the sea in the past. This house had a lot of pros and cons. PROS**lots of room, nice kitchen, extra kitchen down stairs, good location to the beach access. CONS**decor not very good, 22" TV in main floor family room and nothing bigger than that in any room, several lights out in house and were never replaced when we sent the request to Compass Resorts, 2 toilets were not in service but I was able to fix them, hot water ran out very quick, only access to 1 garage not 2 as advertised, TV master bedroom positioned in a way where the bed post block you from viewing the TV. Overall I would rate this house as a 6.5 out of 10. We love the beach so the TV issues were not a deal killer for us. But if you plan on watching any TV at all, this house is not for you. 22" in the family room? Not acceptable. I would not rent this house again for the price we paid. At best, $3,000 would be tops for this house. BTW, this house is for sale. Maybe that's why it's not updated.
