Description Emerald Coast Drift: Destin

Tucked into a gated community in Destin, this home strikes a balance between having a base to retreat to and plenty to do outside the door. Three community pools, tennis and pickleball courts, and a catch-and-release fishing spot on Lake Aladdin mean you're unlikely to run short of ways to fill a day. The private balcony is a quiet place to start the morning, and board games keep evenings easy. Big Kahuna's Water Park, local restaurants, and shopping along Highway 98 are all close by for fun-filled days out.

Home truths:
* The lead guest must be at least 21 years old.
* At full occupancy, two guests will sleep on the sofa bed in the living area.
* You'll have access to the on-site swimming pools, tennis and pickleball courts, BBQ areas, and gazebos here. They're shared with the building's other residents.
* The wi-fi can be temperamental here. It might be worth bringing a personal hotspot device with you if you know you'll need to access the internet.
* This home comes with one 11ft-wide parking space. Boat trailer parking is also available for short-term use.
