Amazing sunset tonight 😍

If you’re heading to the Emerald Coast on vacation and need a place for your dog to stay, or you’re a local looking for a more special, individualized boarding option, you’ll want to check this out. 🐾

This is my friend of 20 years, and she’s taken her love for dogs to a whole new level. She’s created these individual little houses for them… honestly, they’re good enough for people. Each one has air conditioning, a comfy bed, dog TV, and even a private fenced yard.

It’s in Freeport, so for a lot of you it’s right on the way into Destin.

I know firsthand how much she cares, and there’s truly nobody who will take better care of your dog. If you’re looking for a unique boarding option, definitely check her out!

The full moon rising over the water at the beach tonight 😍💙🌊

The water was so beautiful today 💙 I always go check it right before my guests arrive. Once the condo is all ready, I walk out to the beach to see how it looks. I picture them getting there, dropping their bags, and running straight out to the beach and water, all excited just to take it all in. I don’t know if they actually do that, but it’s always how I imagine it 🙂🌊

Beautiful fog on the water this morning 🤍🤍🤍 Sorry I’ve been a little quiet on here lately. Life has been busy. There’s definitely a thing where locals don’t make it out to the beach as much as you’d think, and I can fall into that pretty easily when things get hectic.

But every time I go, I’m reminded how beautiful it really is. It always makes me want to slow down a little and make more time for it.

I really do love being this close to the beach, and I never want to take that for granted.

This fog will burn off soon and it looks like a really nice day ahead. Forecast is sunshine and temps in the 70s ☀️

Hope you guys are enjoying spring and maybe have a trip to Destin or the beach coming up soon 💙

I caught the karaoke boat going by on the harbor tonight 🎤🚤. This is Happy Life Cruises—they do karaoke cruises every Wednesday from 7:00–10:00 pm.

I actually went on it last week with my friend and it was fun. They also do other themed cruises too, like murder mystery and comedy nights. Have you been on Happy Life Cruises?

Look at this water today 💙 What a way to kick off March in Destin… sunshine, clear water, and a perfect beach day unfolding.

If you’re not in Destin right now, you should be 🌴😃⛱️

I wish I had time for a beach day, but there’s too much to do in my garden, so I’ll be playing with flowers today while you guys enjoy the beach 🌊 🌸 Who is here enjoying this amazing weather?

☀️ Daylight is ground floor, so you can step right out from the patio to the lawn, the pool, or the beach path. You can pull up directly in front of the door to unload, and parking is just steps away. No lobby. No elevator. No luggage carts. Just easy.

🪸 I’ve stocked this condo with everything you could possibly need--even down to the little things like tumblers for bringing drinks on your beach walks. If there’s something you wish you had, just let me know — I live nearby and happy to help or even loan you my stuff.

😎 Holiday Isle has some of the best beaches in Destin — quieter, more private, and less crowded than most areas. I know because I live here. In fact, almost every beach video I’ve posted on this page in the last several years is from this beach. I’m excited to finally have a vacation rental here.

🍹The Islander Resort is a gated beachfront resort on Holiday Isle with private beach access. The property offers two pools (one heated year-round), two hot tubs, pickleball courts, tennis courts, and a workout room.

🏝 Holiday Isle also has O’Steen Beach snorkel area and the East Jetties, where you can watch the fishing boats head out each morning from Destin Harbor.

✨Message me to book or for more pictures and information✨

🌊Even though this is a new vacation rental, I am not new to hosting guests in Destin. I am a 7-year Superhost on Airbnb with 125 5-star reviews. I care very much about the happiness of my guests and I hope that shows in my reviews (I also have a few other rentals on Holiday Isle, so let me know if you need info on those)

My whole heart is in this condo and I look forward to welcoming you to Daylight (Yes that's a Taylor Swift song and I have friendship bracelets ready for any little Swiftie guests)💛💛💛💛💛 🎶🎵Step into the Daylight and Let it Go...🎶🎵
