Holiday Isle Vacation Retreat with beautiful modern upgrades | Islander Beach Resort #311 “Sandy Dunes”
If you are looking for a peaceful and serene beach vacation, you have found your place! The views are to die for and so much more amazing and magical in real life! In addition to the Gulf of Mexico views, you have a view over the lake in Destin Pointe and the Pass just beyond. You will see all of the boats heading from the Harbor to the Gulf and the bright parasailers as they go by. It's so easy to walk through the lush and tropically landscaped grounds to the abundant amenities. We consider the pool and hot tub in front of our condo our hidden gem as they are easy to get to and never overly crowded! The Holiday Isle beaches are pristine and feel worlds away from the hustle and bustle of Destin. And we have several fantastic restaurants from casual to fine dining right on Holiday Isle!
This property is presented by Beach Stays Vacations – we are thrilled to host your beach vacation!
