Description Description
Welcome to Serenity.

Aegean 101 is a 2-bed/2 bath recently renovated condo with a spectacular beach view. This unit comfortably sleeps 8 with its custom hallway bunk beds and expanded bathrooms. This unit also has access to a community pool, two tennis courts, and private beach access for your entertainment.

Your condo is situated directly on the beach, it’s as close to the gulf as you can be. Enjoy spectacular views of the emerald-colored water from your very large and inviting patio or step directly onto the sugar sand beach from your condo. This peaceful and exclusive retreat was previously owned by a prominent inventor and rarely available for use until now.

Well-appointed and very clean, this secluded sanctuary is in the heart of Destin, but on an un-crowded stretch of pristine sand! You’ll surely be pleased with this gulf front end unit location providing unprecedented convenience while still having all the amenities you could want.

At 1,510 sq. feet, you'll have plenty of space to spread out and sleep up to 8 comfortably. You'll be staying in one of the biggest 2Bd/2BA condos in Destin.

Newly remodeled kitchen with granite countertops and hickory cabinets.

Custom tiled bathrooms that are sparkling clean to keep you comfortable and refreshed.

The patio is a show stopper! Indulge on one of the biggest in Destin at 38 ft X 16 ft (608 sq. ft) with lounge chairs and a table and chairs for al fresco dining cooked on one of the three grills overlooking the Gulf.

Stay connected when you want with FREE WiFi!

3 Flat Screen TVs with DVD Players and Cable

A very nice pool, pavilion, and two tennis courts complete this beautifully landscaped complex.

Both bedrooms are spacious retreats with their own en suite bathrooms and flat screen televisions. The master has a king bed and the second bedroom has two full beds. For additional sleeping there is a sleeper sofa in the oversized family room with another flat screen television. We also have two custom built in hallway bunk beds for kids.

You'll have tons of storage with 6 closets and a brand-new full-size washer and dryer to keep you clean and dry.

Peace of mind also comes with gated access to the complex and onsite security.

Tons of green space so you never feel cramped at this low-density complex making it very unique compared to the typical Destin high rise complex.

Please note the uniqueness of this spacious secluded end unit compared to other 2BD units at the Aegean.

*This unit is truly a direct gulf front patio unit at the Aegean for rent on VRBO. Some patio units listed do not open onto the beach. No elevators or building entry to concern yourself with, come right into your condo from the sand.

*Patio units are over 300 sq. ft larger inside than the 2BD balcony units and have a patio over double the size as a balcony.

Destin has the most beautiful beaches and water, making it one of the top vacation destinations in the United States. This complex is unique because it has over 500 ft of deeded beach for just 80 units so you have plenty of space for a private romantic getaway or family friendly vacation without feeling cramped.

Your vacation condo offers you the same peacefulness of Okaloosa Island but located right in Destin, so you are only minutes from all the fun without having to make the long trek across the bridge. We’d love to have you as our guest in this inviting beach retreat. We looked at over 50 properties from Panama City Beach to Okaloosa Island before choosing this wonderfully private and exceptional property combining space, serenity and location. We’re sure you’ll agree once you stay here and make plans to return year after year.

Maximum occupancy, 8 guests

Beautiful Place
Second time staying here. Love the place, the space you have, and the overall decor. It's also nice to have plenty of space on the patio with a grassy area to play games. Easy walk to the beach. Since it's on the first floor, the view is good but not great but there are trade offs with most places. Very close to most things you will want to do.

Cannot wait to come back!!
The condo was clean, comfortable, and convenient to anything you could want or need. We were traveling with our three boys ages 10, 8 and 3 and my parents who are in their 70s. It was so easy to get to the beach, we could easily go back and forth for naps for our toddler, snacks, etc. The umbrella and chair setup each day was wonderful! If you like to sit on the beach in the evening though, be sure to bring your own chair or use one of the ones provided at the condo bc they take the umbrella and chairs down around 5. The pool area is clean and beautiful. Our 8 year old learned how to swim while we were there. We love the rules in place at the complex: it keeps it very family-friendly and relaxing. You can easily see the ocean from the patio area, but you can’t see the waves breaking on the shore bc it is ground level. We loved sitting in the high platform chairs and watching the boats with our binoculars. We saw dolphins four different times, twice they were super close to the shore. Definitely a highlight. We had very minor maintenance issues (lightbulbs and toaster) and they were handled promptly and everyone we talked to was friendly, not like some places where they make you feel like you’re bothering them if you have a problem. The owners got back to us quickly any time we had a question and were wonderful to work with. We love Destin and try to come at least once a year. We’ll be coming back here again for sure!!

We loved this condo! The unit was clean, spacious, and had everything we would ever need - kitchen was fully stocked! The complex is very clean and quiet as well - it was the perfect family vacation spot! Nice grilling spots, beautiful pool area that is very well kept. Being steps from the beach was so nice!

Great fit for our family!
We thoroughly enjoyed this location. I had 5 teenagers with me and while I want them to enjoy their vacation, I also want some quiet downtime and not the chaos. The beach was private and we enjoyed kayaking and paddle boarding, we were literally so close to the dolphins when we were out on the paddle boards and kayaks. Highly recommend and we will definitely return!

Beautiful unit, great location, well equipped, & comfortable!
We had a wonderful vacation. The unit was exactly as described/pictured. The kitchen had everything we needed. I do wish there was a broom, the dust mop just didn’t cut it. The vacuum worked ok but a broom would be best catching all the sand. There were tons of sand toys, shovels, & many critter catching nets. A couple boogie boards and beach chairs are there. We loved having the beach service, so glad that is included. Great location, right on the beach and close to everything we needed. We loved that the beach wasn’t over crowded like the beaches in front of the larger buildings. The pool was not as large as we expected but it wasn’t crowded, nice & clean too. We would most definitely stay here again! Thank you for a great rental.

BEAUTIFUL
This Condo was very nice and updated. It looks just like the pictures.. Only couple things. Television volume goes up and down and some of the fan remotes did not work. Back sliding door was hard to open and close. Would still give this Condo a 9.75 out of 10...Hopefully staying here again...

Great amenities and an awesome location!
It is safe to say that are family has taken its last trip to HHI for awhile because Destin and this condo stole our hearts. The condo and its amenities are exactly as promised. The patio is awesome at all times of the day. There is a short walk to the beach, which is well maintained and huge. Even on the busiest of beach days, we had plenty of room. I cannot adequately express how great of an experience we had. We will be back and cannot wait to stay at this property again. Thank you for the great experience.

Great, relaxing time
We have stayed in probably 10 different units at the Aegean, and both my husband and I think that this is the best one so far. The extra bunks, updated washer and dryer, and end unit were just a few perks. Weather and ocean were perfect. Only wish we could see the beach, but totally enjoyed our private deck outside. Will most definitely try to get this condo again!

Excellent Family vacation
My family and I had a great time on this vacation, so much so that we are already going to plan on going back next year and hope to rent the same condo again. It was plenty spacious enough for the 9 people that came. There was a minor issue during the week that was fixed immediately when we called. I would highly recommend this location for anyone wanting a beach vacation.

Best Family vaca to date
We had the best time staying at the Aegean!! The condo was amazingly decorated, up to date everything, clean and so comfortable!!! The grounds are also very well kept and the beach service.. what a plus and the only way to go. The condo was seconds to the pool and beach, which made it very nice with little ones in toe. We also met some really great people who have been coming to stay at the Aegean for 25 + years and now I see why!! The location of this property is perfect for anything you wanna do. The best snorkeling is walking distance or a very short drive from here !! It was a monumental vacation for our family , my five year old even learned to swim in the pool there!! I cant wait to return for many more memories!!!

This property was the perfect location for our stay in Destin. The condo was clean, updated with granite and stainless steel kitchen that provides anything you may need and very spacious. The patio area was absolutely huge creating even more space for the family. It was lovely to sit in the morning and watch the sunrise and to have family dinners in the evening. The beach was beautiful white sand and clear blue waters and never overcrowded. We had younger children, pre-teen and adults. Everyone was pleased and always had something to do. It was a wonderful and relaxing stay. We will definitely be return.

Destin Vacation of a Lifetime!
We could not have had a better experience. The facility was very spacious and every thing we needed to make the trip completely comfortable & enjoyable was readily available. The room was on the ground floor with easy access to the beach and a beautiful view. The accomodations were perfect. Beds were heavenly. Showers and bathrooms were great. A/C worked perfect. Kids had a great time. Shopping and restaurants were easily accessible. We collected shells and sand dollars. People were friendly. All around GREAT vacation. We had many different ages represented from toddler, youth, teenager, twenties, fourties, & sixties and seventies - with no complaints. Can't think of a better value. Can't wait to go back.

Perfect Vacation!
We had a fabulous vacation. The condo was located close to shopping, restaurants, and Destin Harbor and the beach was not crowded at all. We loved the convenience of having a ground floor unit with quick access to the pool and beach without having to use stairs or elevators. This was especially great for my parents who are in their 80's. The condo was very spacious and clean and well equipped. The staff, especially the beach rental staff, were extremely nice and helpful. We will definitely be returning next year.

This is a great beach condo! We loved everything about this condo from its spacious layout to location and of course beach front walk out. We really appreciated the experience booking and everything was as advertised or better. The complex is very family oriented with access to everything we needed in the area. The large walk out lanai is the best and provided many hours of ocean front sun and sea breeze. We will definitely be back. Thank you!

Spacious condo with great beach access
This condo is very spacious. Even though it's only 2 bedrooms we were able to sleep 7 of us comfortably. We didn't feel cramped at all. It was nice to be able to walk out to the beach without waiting for an elevator or climbing stairs. The complex was very quiet and secure. The condos are in Old Destin which is a lot less crowded.
