The Penthouse Sanctuary: A Panoramic Oasis Above the Destin Coastline!

Upscale Corner Penthouse Retreat | Breathtaking Gulf, Coastline & Bay Views | Expansive Private Sunset Terraces

The Space:
Welcome to a premier sanctuary suspended high above the Emerald Coast. Positioned on an exclusive corner penthouse floor of Surfside Resort, this custom-reimagined estate offers a rare 270-degree vantage point where the glittering Gulf of Mexico meets the sweeping Destin coastline and the tranquil waters of the bay.
This property is intentionally designed as an uncrowded, premium haven for up to eight guests. While many beach rentals squeeze maximum numbers into their floor plans, forcing guests onto uncomfortable sofa sleepers and compromising the peace of the stay, this penthouse is a deliberate departure from the ordinary. Here, there are no clunky pull-out couches or compromised sleeping arrangements. Every single guest is treated to a proper, beautifully appointed bed, ensuring the deep, restorative sleep an elevated traveler expects.
Whether you are hosting a sophisticated family getaway, a retreat with close friends, or a seamless remote business trip, you are choosing an environment that mirrors your lifestyle. This is a space that honors your need for breathing room, privacy, and architectural quiet. Built with solid concrete construction and tucked far away from elevator foot traffic, the penthouse serves as a private oasis. Step through the glass doors onto expansive balconies to watch the sky turn brilliant shades of amber and violet over the ocean, all while enjoying the absolute peace of mind provided by secure, fully enclosed glass railings.
The Interior: A Masterclass in Sophisticated Coastal Design
Every room has been masterfully updated with an uncompromising eye for detail, replacing the dated, weathered aesthetics common in older beach properties with a seamless flow of light, texture, and high-end comfort:
Curated Coastal Furnishings: The entire interior is outfitted with brand-new, upscale coastal furniture and designer decor. The lifestyle here is clean, sophisticated, and deeply relaxing—perfect for unwinding after a day on the sand.
Seamless Spa Flooring: Light-colored plank tile flooring runs continuously through every single room. This fluid, carpet-free transition enhances the breezy, open-air feeling of a high-end luxury resort.
Alabaster & Sunlight: Crisp, newly painted Alabaster walls capture and reflect the abundant Florida sunshine, casting a warm, bright glow across the living spaces during the day and a soft, elegant tone at night.
Bespoke Culinary Kitchen: A gorgeous space for entertaining, featuring flawless quartz countertops and a matching full quartz backsplash. The custom, completely replaced cabinetry showcases premium Thomasville soft-close doors with meticulous craftsmanship that stands as a stark contrast to unrenovated units.
Atmospheric Mood Lighting: Brand-new modern light fixtures illuminate the home. Custom dimmer switches control the ambience in the entry, kitchen, dinette, and main dining table, allowing you to transition effortlessly from bright morning breakfast to an intimate, candle-lit evening glow.
Private Day-Spa Baths: Rejuvenate in bathrooms transformed into personal retreats, complete with updated vanities, premium fixtures, brand-new pristine toilets, and sleek, new frameless glass shower doors.
Connected Luxury: For the modern professional or connected family, ultra-high-speed internet runs effortlessly throughout the home, paired with crisp smart televisions for seamless streaming of your favorite entertainment.
The Terraces: Enclosed Glass Railings & 270-Degree Horizons
Our unique corner layout rewards your group with two distinct, private outdoor living spaces, outfitted with premium, commercial-grade white Polywood furniture that stands up beautifully to coastal breezes while remaining crisp and cool to the touch:
The 270 Sq. Ft. West-Facing Sunset Terrace: Flowing directly from the main living room, this massive outdoor lounge is the ultimate gathering place for family, friends, or colleagues. Enjoy an upscale outdoor dining set for four, alongside a plush loveseat and matching side tables. Here, you can toast to success or family milestones while watching the sun sink directly into the Gulf, illuminating the entire Destin coastline.
The Sunrise Lock-Out Balcony: Located on the opposite side of the penthouse, this secondary private balcony offers a quiet, hidden nook to watch magnificent sunrises over the peaceful bay and golf course with your morning coffee.
The Resort Experience: Private Beachfront & VIP Convenience
Staying at Surfside Resort means accessing a wealth of premier, private amenities that cater specifically to the upper crust traveler. Your stay includes complimentary seasonal beach service, providing two premium chairs and an umbrella set up daily on the sugar-white sand just for you.
Many of the resort's world-class sports and wellness facilities are highly underutilized, giving your group total freedom to play, relax, and connect without the crowds:
The Private Sky Bridge: Enjoy safe, direct access to the sand. Surfside features the area's only pedestrian walkway elevated above the road, taking you effortlessly from the pool deck straight to your private beachfront.
Exclusive Beachfront Experiences: Spend your days at the vibrant, sand-side Beach Bar, and gather on Monday and Friday evenings for exclusive, resort-hosted beach bonfires under the stars.
The Royal Palm Grille: Skip the reservations and traffic. The renowned on-site restaurant offers internal ocean-view dining and an expansive outdoor deck for open-air meals. Inside, enjoy a sophisticated sushi bar and a lively sports bar, giving you multiple premium culinary experiences without leaving the gates.
Elite Sports Deck: Perfect your game on two pickleball courts, a full tennis court, and two basketball areas. From your high-floor corner vantage point, you look directly down over these pristine sports courts, the adjacent lake, and the manicured golf course.
Wellness & Pampering: Rejuvenate your body at the full-service Surfside Spa, book a fresh look at the Rogue & Pure Co. salon, or squeeze in a workout at the updated, on-site fitness room, fully equipped with brand-new exercise equipment and private restrooms.
Outdoor Entertaining: Gather for an open-air afternoon barbecue at the beautifully maintained outdoor grilling and picnic areas.

Perfect place to stay

Perfect! Large, well maintained and great views. The home is just steps from the beach, good Restaurants, grocery stores and nightlife. The beds were so comfy and the kitchen had everything we needed to cook. I would recommend this place for several couples or a family with older kids. It did not disappoint!!!! And I didn’t even mention the views from the balconies!

Great Family Getaway Stay

We really enjoyed our stay and it exceeded our expectations! The condo had all the amenities that we needed, everything was clean and neat, and there was lots of space for everyone to have some down time. We also really appreciated the washer/dryer in the condo! The location is fantastic and we took advantage of the walkway over the street to the beach. The available beach chairs and umbrellas provided on the private beach saved us from having to lug all of that around. Owners were friendly and hospital. We would gladly return for another stay.

This property was top notch. Furniture and appliances all up to date. We had three families and there was plenty space for everyone and the kids. Kevin was able to get us checked in almost 3 hours early and was very good a communicating that as well as temporary keycodes to get in our room early. Overall 10/10 experience.

Wonderful time

The hosts have to be the kindest people we have ever dealt with. They were super sweet and accommodating and even left our kiddos a little present which they loved! The place was spacious and clean and had everything we could have needed. The trip to the beach was easy and we were able to get chairs and an umbrella each day. Having the bar right there to order a few drinks was great. Several restaurants within walking distance and places to rent bikes and golf carts. Walmart delivers groceries to the location so that's a plus for us. We used the gym and the restaurant on site. This was a great stay for us and we would definitely come back!

Perfect beach getaway...

This spacious condo was perfect for our spring break trip. There was plenty of space for everyone to spread out and not be on top of each other. The view from the large balcony is great for sunset watching and the balcony off the guest studio/suite is where you can catch the sunrise! All the windows and mirrors in the living space make the already large area seem even larger. The skybridge is a nice feature for safe access to the beach; although we went out the lobby exit and walked across the street most days and didn't have a problem crossing there. It's a beautiful area to run/bike/walk and there is a large sidewalk for that. I would recommend getting out to claim your beach chairs early if you come in peak season because you're not guaranteed a set of chairas if they are all being used--we almost learned that the hard way! :-/ The hosts were amazing and available for anything needed. We would love to come back in the future! Miramar Beach area is very pretty and has lots to do.

Nice vacation

The condo was extremely nice and was accurate to description. The amenities were not as nice. It states there is a suana, but that was removed according to the front desk clerk. The pool was clean. However, I feel they could make the pool deck much more inviting. I was told there was beach service that would provide drinks and food on beach so we never had to leave; this was not accurate. I was also told there was room service, again not accurate. Upon entering the building there is a foul smell (smells like wet dog). As soon as you are in the elevator that smell dispoears and all is well. Overall, the vacation was great and the condo met our needs. I would reserve again. Kevin was extremely helpful and was always able to be reached if needed. I would recommend that the owners offer some sort of late check out even if you have to charge a little extra for those people who may not have a flight out until later in the evening. If you are looking for a nice place to stay that is clean and beautiful, the condo will not disappoint.
