The home · 83 Woodward St, Destin

Four floors, each with its own reason to never want to leave.

Sapphire Shores rises four stories over Destin, a short stroll from the sand, with Gulf sunsets that climb all the way to a rooftop crow's nest. Finished in 2021 and built for 38 guests across 11 bedrooms, every floor offers something different — a game floor, a gathering floor, a floor of master suites, and a 360-degree tower at the top. An elevator connects them all.

One of a kind

A home that could never be built in Destin again.

Completed in 2021 under codes that have since changed, Sapphire Shores is grandfathered at its full scale — eleven bedrooms and four floors steps from the Gulf. There will never be another like it on the Emerald Coast.

"This home is spectacular. Obviously wonderful for family gatherings, yet it was likewise a perfect venue for my sales team planning session — involving 11 adults! Everyone had his own bedroom. Meals were easily prepared and enjoyed thanks to the spacious kitchen and large dining table, and presentations were easily facilitated in the large family room. The responsiveness of the host was incredible. I'll absolutely consider this home for future trips."

— Mark · Huntsville, AL
★★★★★

"This house was truly a dream. It's great for large groups. We went for a corporate retreat and it was perfect because almost every single bedroom had its own bathroom, so we all felt like we had our own private suite. 10/10. Highly recommend staying here if you can!"

— Brooke · Severna Park, MD
★★★★★

"What an amazing place! Truly the nicest Airbnb we have EVER rented! Everyone in my party had their own space and the gathering spaces were exceptional! We are already planning our trip to stay in this magnificent home again next year!"

— Lea · Signal Mountain, TN
★★★★★

"By far my best stay in the Destin area, and I've been here many times over the last 10 years. The house was outstanding and far exceeded my expectations! The management team's responsiveness was excellent. The space was exactly what we needed. I'll definitely be back."

— Tony
★★★★★

"We had a great time at this place. Walkable to the beach, food and activities — or a quick ride with the golf carts. We had a party of 20 and the home was well stocked: plenty of towels, washcloths and beach towels. Prompt customer service — an issue was addressed within 24 hours. We also found the elevator most accommodating as we had some elderly adults with us. Would definitely recommend to any large group."

— Ashley · Gainesville, FL
★★★★★

"This was an absolutely amazing home and experience! The pictures did not do it justice — much bigger than we expected from top to bottom and to the pool. The team was very responsive and we will most definitely be staying with them again next year!"
