More About Honu Hale:
Honu Hale is a luxurious vacation home located in Destiny by the Sea – an exclusive private community in Destin hosting some of the most beautiful homes on the Gulf Coast. The name Honu Hale is Hawaiian for Turtle House which is the perfect name for this tropical hideaway. With a private beach access inside the neighborhood, you'll be able to walk to the beach in just two minutes! The home also features a fresh-water pool for irritant-free swimming right in the backyard. For an additional charge, the pool can be heated as well. The home comes with plenty of built-in entertainment like the second-floor game room and an outdoor pool table on the second-level balcony.

On the first floor, you will find a gourmet kitchen with stainless steel upgrades and appliances including a double oven, a 5-burner gas stove, side-by-side refrigerator, and two dishwashers. Two kitchen islands provide plenty of seating and food preparation space. Adjacent to the kitchen lies a seating area with a flat-screen TV, two wing back chairs, and a love seat.

Now, let's talk more about that game room mentioned earlier! On the second floor, you'll find a huge Game and Media Room. This room includes foosball, an old-school arcade table (featuring the Ms. Pacman game), air hockey, and two mounted, flat screen TVs! Head down the hallway and out onto the balcony where you'll find the pool table for continued entertainment! Members of your group will surely be competing for who gets to stay in the bedrooms on the game room floor!

Two beautiful guest suites with king size beds can be found on the second floor as well. Both have access to their own full bathroom. The game room also holds a sleeper sofa for additional sleeping arrangements. The third floor houses two grand Master suites with private bathrooms and private balcony access. The columned balconies are ideal for enjoying the gulf breeze and calming atmosphere of living near the beach. An additional bedroom on the third floor holds two queen-over-queen bunks and a twin bunk.

This home offers all the entertainment you could want for your family on a vacation with its private pool, neighborhood beach access, and game room! The location is perfect as well. A town-favorite restaurant, the Crab Trap Restaurant is just down the street. A private community pool is also nearby with a clubhouse to serve owners and guests of Destiny by the Sea.

Family trip
Our entire family (son’s family and our daughter’s family) all met here for a week. There were 11 in all ranging in age 72-8. Plenty of sleeping spaces and the location was excellent.

Perfect vacation spot!
We stayed at the property in June 2021 - a group of 7 adults + 8 kids ranging from 2 to 15 years old. It was the perfect location & setting in a beautiful neighborhood. The beach was a quick walk across the street, making it easy for kids to go back/forth between the beach and our house (which we did a lot). The community pool for the neighborhood was just across the street from us. And we loved having our own private pool. The property is very well maintained and exactly as pictured. Appreciated having the rental bikes. I'd stay here again in a heartbeat!

Beach retreat!
Great house for our family vacation. Most in our group thought it was the best Destin vacation we’ve had and we’ve had many! House was perfect for our 2 families, adult children and grandchild. Location to the beach,private pool, large kitchen to cook and eat in, bikes included and several games gave us plenty to do without leaving the community! We were able to socially distance same as we are at home, have everything we needed and feel somewhat protected from covid. Well needed fun and relaxing vacation.

Great house. Great location.
We love staying in Destiny by the Sea because of the location. This house is 20 second walk to the beach. It is great to have the private swimming pool outside the back door. The kids love this. All the bedrooms are good size and have their own bathrooms and the extra parking nearby is a plus. I would stay in this house again.

Great house for family beach experience!
We loved every bit of our stay. Very short walk to beach was great. It was so close it was easy to go back and forth from the beach to the house. Beautifully furnished!. The picture on the VRBO site don’t capture how nice and functional the house is. The first floor is amazing. With a bar and an island off the kitchen it seats 12 in bar chairs. There is also another table which could easily seat up to 8 children. The house is so nice it sort of surprises me that they rent it out. Our family (eight adults and 4 children) could not have found a better play to stay and enjoy a beach weekend! The gated community and private beach access of Destiny by the Sea provided us with a great place for us to stay. The extra cost for staying within the Destiny by the Sea community is worth the cost.

Beautiful
Beautiful home Lots to do so glad they had a pool table. Fun when it rained. Lots of stairs to climb. Scary with wet feet and elderly. Pool was nice and the main pool was nice. Prompt attention to fix the microwave when we called. Beach was beautiful.

Great time!
We had a great trip here at Honu Hale! The house is great - perfect for a large group - clean, taken care of, steps from the beach.
