Palm Haus at Southbay | 3 BR • Gated Private Beach • 2 Pools

We can’t say enough good things about Palm Haus! The location was unbeatable, the beds were incredibly comfortable, and every room felt like a page out of a magazine. We loved sitting on the patio in the mornings and walking to the beach in the afternoons. Everything about this stay was seamless — we’ll absolutely be booking again!

The Ultimate Destin Vacation Home!

Palm Haus exceeded our expectations in every way! The home was spotless, beautifully designed, and so comfortable. We loved starting our mornings at the fully stocked coffee bar — complete with a single-cup coffee maker, drip coffee maker, adorable coffee stir spoons, sugar-free syrups, and even fresh local beans + grounds. Every detail was so thoughtful, from the cozy living spaces to the easy access to both the pool and beach. The complimentary beach chair setup was just the icing on the cake. We can’t wait to come back!

Beautiful, Clean, and the Best Coffee Setup Ever!

Palm Haus was a dream for our family vacation! The kids were obsessed with the Pac-Man arcade game and all the board games in the living room, while we parents appreciated how easy everything was. The home came stocked with a pack ’n play, high chair, and baby gate, which made traveling with little ones so much simpler. The closet full of sand toys, pool floats, and beach gear (plus the beach wagon) made every outing a breeze. We loved having two kiddie pools in the community too — perfect for downtime between beach trips. Every detail was so well thought out for families — truly a 5-star stay!

The Perfect Family-Friendly Beach House!

From the moment we arrived, Palm Haus felt like home. Every detail was so well thought out — from the cozy bedding to the fully stocked kitchen and beach supplies. The decor was stunning and gave off the perfect coastal vibe. We’ve stayed in a lot of short-term rentals, but this one truly stands out. Highly recommend to anyone looking for a relaxing and luxurious beach stay!

Felt Like Home… But Better!

We loved everything about our stay at Palm Haus! The home was spotless, beautifully decorated, and stocked with everything we could possibly need. The location was perfect — just a short walk to the beach and close to all our favorite restaurants. The beach gear and daily chair setup were such thoughtful touches that made our trip stress-free. We can’t wait to come back next year!

Perfect Beach Getaway!
