At Chateaux San Souci, life slows down just enough to savor every moment—Louisiana style. Tucked inside the gated Destiny West community and just a short 0.3-mile stroll from the Gulf, this 4-bedroom, 3-bath beach house is designed with families in mind. Picture your crew starting the day with café au lait at the kitchen table while the kids chatter about who’s building the biggest sandcastle. The fully stocked kitchen makes it easy to whip up a hearty breakfast or a seafood boil after a day in the sun. Out back, the screened patio is perfect for firing up the gas grill, sipping sweet tea, and swapping stories as the evening breeze rolls in. With the beach so close, you’ll love the convenience of slipping on your flip-flops, grabbing the wagon of toys, and being in the sand in minutes. Parents can stretch out under the sun while the little ones dig, splash, and giggle to the sound of waves. If the kids still have energy to burn, the community pool, hot tub, and gym are only a three-minute walk away—no fuss, no driving. And when it’s time for an adventure beyond the neighborhood, Destin has something for everyone: dolphin cruises at HarborWalk Village, shopping and kid-friendly dining at Destin Commons, championship golf, fishing trips, and plenty of Louisiana-style flavors mixed right into the Gulf Coast charm. “San Souci” means “carefree” in French, and that’s exactly the feeling you’ll carry home from here—days filled with sand between your toes, laughter echoing from room to room, and family memories that will linger long after you’ve left. This house has parking for 2 vehicles. Guests receive a welcome kit with small dishwasher detergent, dish soap, sponge, a roll of paper towels, and laundry detergent. There will be an initial trash liner in each receptacle and a set of toilet paper and soaps for each bathroom provided. Guests will need to replenish supplies for longer stays. We may require a minimum length of stay during the summer and over holidays. We do not rent to anyone under 25 or to students. ## Property amenities ### Beach - Beach nearby ### Pool/Spa - Communal pool - Hot tub ### Internet - Available in the house: Free WiFi ### Parking and transportation - Parking on site ### Kitchen - Coffee/tea maker - Cookware, dishware, and utensils - Dishwasher - Microwave - Oven - Refrigerator - Stovetop - Toaster ### Dining - Dining table ### Bedrooms - Bedsheets provided ### Bathroom - Hair dryer ### Living spaces - Dining table - Living room ### Entertainment - Smart TV with cable/satellite channels ### Outdoor areas - Barbecue grill ### Laundry - Washing machine ### Work spaces - Desk ### Comfort - Air conditioning - Heating ### Pets - No pets allowed ### Suitability/Accessibility - Smoking not allowed ### Services and conveniences - Iron/ironing board ### Location highlights - Near a hospital - Near an outlet shopping mall - Near the marina - Near the sea ### Things to do - Gym - Tennis - Birdwatching nearby - Ecotours nearby - Fishing nearby - Golfing nearby - Hiking nearby - Jet skiing nearby - Kayaking nearby - Motor boating nearby - Parasailing nearby - Sailing nearby - Snorkeling nearby - Swimming nearby - Wildlife walks nearby - Windsurfing nearby ### Safety features - Carbon monoxide detector not reported (host has not indicated whether there is a carbon monoxide detector on the property; consider bringing a portable detector) - Smoke detector (host has indicated there is a smoke detector on the property) - Fire extinguisher - Deadbolt lock ### General - Unit size: 2,230 square feet ## Similar properties ![Beach nearby](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/111000000/110370000/110362400/110362314/c55e3261.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### 4BD~3BA~Free 6 pass Golf Cart~Walk to beach Destin - Pool - Hot tub - Kitchen - Washer 10 Exceptional 11 reviews [](https://www.expedia.ca/Hotel-Search?startDate=2025-11-04&endDate=2025-11-05&selected=110362314&PinnedHotelID=110362314&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Beach nearby, beach towels](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/55000000/54130000/54128100/54128017/630f9b61.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Save Oct-Dec \*GolfCart\*BeachSvc\*BchGear\*Dogs ok!
