But it's the white sand and emerald water beaches that make Destin the go-to, relax-by-the-beach vacation spot and our 2 beautiful private beaches are a short 4-minute walk or catch a ride on our convenient neighborhood beach shuttle (seasonal). And so you don’t get hungry or thirsty while lounging on the beach, you can pack up food and beverages and take them with you to the beach —you’ll have a rolling cooler, cooler bags, ice packs, and a rolling beach cart.

From our 2 private beaches, you can spot dolphins playing in the water, fish off the East Jetty, snorkel and see sea turtles, watch boats go in and out of the harbor and view the spectacular weekly harbor fireworks show (seasonal).
If you're too tired to cook, order a Charcuterie board from our personal friend Shelli or there’s a personal chef or hibachi chef we recommend that can come on the property and cook for you. Or we can recommend numerous world-class restaurants nearby.

About the host: Hi! I'm a native Texan, wife, boy mom, traveller, marketing professional & entrepreneur. I love the beach and the mountains, but the peace of God’s presence when I’m near water draws me more to the ocean.
The travel bug is in my genes as my parents always took our family on 2 week summer vacations to resorts in Mexico, Jamaica, Hawaii and we travelled all over the US. Some of my favorite places I’ve travelled to are Carmel, CA; San Diego, CA; Boston, MA; Austin, Tx & the Hill County in Texas; & I feel like Princeville Kauai, Hawaii is Heaven on earth. My family and I also love cruising —we’ve probably done 10 cruises to the Caribbean, then we did two long cruises to the Mediterranean and loved stopping to explore the ancient cities. My grandparents are from Germany, so when I visit there I feel at home in Saxony. I’ve lived in Midtown NYC and worked for the home office of a major retailer —I absolutely love the excitement and energy of the city.
I'm excited to become a Host & share with you our second home in Destin. I feel like I know alot about what vacationers want and need with all the traveling I’ve done in my lifetime. I mainly want our guests to experience a special and memorable vacation. And I will do all that I can to make that happen. We were blessed to find this location --it's a hidden gem in Destin south of the harbor. Our house is in the exclusive Destin Pointe neighborhood which is a luxury gated community on Holiday Isle with two private beaches. Not many know about this little slice of Heaven! On top of the location, we fell in love with the house too--it's beautiful & fully renovated! We are excited to share our "Serenity by the Shore" with you, your family and friends! I hope you give us the opportunity to host you as we start out as a new listing managing our own property here on airbnb. And we hope to fulfill your dream vacation.

Soothing Serenity
Our girls trip was a joy and truly made extra special by our host's attention to every detail in her home! Macey has thought of everything and her design of her home is gorgeous - luxurious linens and cozy bedding, beautiful artwork throughout and lovely elements around every turn. I appreciated that each of the bedrooms had special corners to relax and unwind and you can step out onto the balconies if you want to feel the refreshing coastal breeze. Definitely can't wait to come back!

Paradise!
Serenity by the Shore is absolutely the best vacation rental I’ve ever been in. The house is stunning, the view from the balcony is mesmerizing and the location is perfect to get to restaurants and shopping. Macey has done a wonderful job decorating every inch of this fabulous beach house and has made sure all guests will feel welcome with all the extras she has provided. We enjoyed the short stroll to the pool and the beach where we had chairs and an umbrella to enjoy white sands and the beautiful blue/ aqua water. If you’re lucky enough to be there for fireworks, the private beach in Destin Pointe is an amazing spot to view them. You will not be disappointed with this rental, I highly recommend Serenity by the Shore for your vacation! We will definitely be back.

The best word to describe this home is Dreamy!
Serenity by the Shore at Destin Pointe is beautifully decorated and it is definitely serene. I’ve rented many beach houses over the years and this one is by far the best. The owners have thoughtfully supplied everything that you might need during your stay at the beach. I love the organization and how everything is labeled in the kitchen so that it isn’t a guessing game trying to find things. If you have any questions about the house or a location in Destin the owner is amazing and is so helpful with recommendations. I love Serenity by the Shore and can’t to go back with my family!
