Carefree Living, Family Friendly
Professionally Managed by Newman-Dailey Resort Properties Effective September 2025, the house is under new management, Newman Dailey.
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.

Lovely location and home, enjoyed are stay very much!
Destin has one of the most beautiful beaches and ocean that I have seen in Florida. The house is a close walk to the beach and the community pool. Enjoyed a great family vacation!
Fantastic option if looking for a vacation home in the Destin area. The location in a quiet gated community a short walk to the beach was very convenient. Access to the community pool and tennis court a plus.
Property was better than expected, we had a lovely stay. As another reviewer noted, the property is larger than expected which was nice. We had 4 adults and 2 toddlers and it was perfect for us. Great neighborhood, 5 minute walk to the beach.

Perfect location! Beautiful home!
We loved this house! It was beautifully kept and in a perfect location. Just a 5 minute walk to the gorgeous white sand beach! Loved the access to a large heated pool, hot tub and tennis court. Would definitely return to this location!
Our family really enjoyed our stay here. Plenty of room for all of us(9 total). The home has a great layout and is very well kept. Love the location. The pool is great and it is not far at all to walk to the beach. Will be checking on this home for our next vacation. Thank you for sharing your home with us.
We had a great stay. The home is lovely. The kitchen was the most well stocked of any home we have ever rented.
We had a couple issues that we discovered when we arrived and they were dealt with promptly.
Great experience and we will be back!
Great home with plenty of space for our family of eight. Very nice gated community with friendly neighbors The owner was very responsive to questions and requests. Overall, a great place to create some wonderful vacation memories!
We enjoyed our stay. We had 8 adults and 2 toddlers. Plenty of space for all of us. Kitchen was well stocked. There were extra beach chairs in the closet. We might try to get this one again or a vacation next year.
The home was as described in listing. Very close to the pool and tennis courts. Only minutes walk to the beach. This is our second time staying in the neighborhood and we just love it. Can’t wait to visit again!
