Destin is a wildly popular vacation destination during the spring and summer seasons, but what about the cooler times of the year? Many of our Ocean Reef Resorts guests flock to the Emerald Coast during the fall and winter. The vacation rental rates are at their lowest, traffic is easy, golf courses are still open, dining options abound and other venues for delightful diversions are wide open!  The beautiful beach is still here and the gorgeous glistening gulf offers spectacular sunsets since during this time of year the golden orb sinks right down into the southern waters. Romantic walks and serene strolls down the beach provide a restful retreat from the stress of regular day to day living. And what could be more soothing than a bubbling Hot Tub on the premises right next to the beach? 

Ocean Reef Resorts is featuring five awesome Destin beachfront condominiums to choose from and all of them have steaming simmering Hot Tubs! They are: "Westwinds", "Edgewater", "Emerald Dunes", "Silver Shells" and "Sundestin".

Westwinds

Westwinds is located overlooking the jewel toned waters at the opulent Sandestin Beach Golf and Tennis Resort. Sandestin is a unique wonderful world of its own since it is a "self contained" resort, meaning that you don't need to go anywhere else for drinking, dining and entertainment once you arrive. Four championship golf courses are available for play. Grand Boulevard and the charming Village of Baytowne Wharf offer an abundant array of boutiques, art galleries, restaurants, lively bars, seasonal activities and free concerts. Westwinds is a luxury tower that sits right on the beach. A large lagoon shaped swimming pool sits amongst clusters of palm trees with vista views of the radiant emerald green gulf and the sugary shore. Here you will find their large bubbling Hot Tub next to a cascading waterfall to help soothe away the stress and help rejuvenate your spirit. A poolside Tiki Bar is often open serving snacks and beverages.

Edgewater

Edgewater is located on Scenic Gulf Drive in Destin's Miramar Beach and looks like a giant luxury ocean liner that has just arrived to dock at this particularly beautiful part of the beach. The unique crescent shaped design with multiple tiers has a spectacular design and is an architectural masterpiece. The resort grounds extend away from the building towards the beach with expansive green lawns accented by clustered islands of tropical palms. Two huge lagoon shaped swimming pools sit side by side on two different levels. You can enjoy one of the pools while overlooking the glittering gulf since it is heated during the cooler times of the year. An arc of lounge chairs frames the side terrace, usually pointing towards the sun. The simmering hot tub shares this heavenly scene providing timeless relaxing fun.

Emerald Dunes

Emerald Dunes is perfectly named since this low rise condominium building is perched upon a sugary dune overlooking the emerald toned waters of the gulf and located in the prestigious Crystal Beach portion of Destin. The first thing you notice when you arrive at Emerald Dunes is the shimmering white sand beach that parallels the crystal clear waters beside this six story vacation destination. The atmosphere is laid back which is surprising since this awesome location is near the heart of Destin action which is minutes away especially during this time of year. Destin Commons, Paradise Key Shopping and Silver Sands, the nation's largest designer discount outlet, are favorite destinations. An AMC Movie Complex is located at Destin Commons complete with state of the art sound systems and comfortable stadium seating. A lot of nationally known restaurants are nearby as well as three popular locally owned beachfront restaurants are right on Scenic Gulf Drive, which include The Crab Trap and 790 on the Gulf. Besides this amazing location, the Emerald Dunes has a heated pool and of course a nice bubbling hot tub. Grills are available nearby to create your own "Surf n Turf" meal. You are just a short walk away from the Henderson Beach Park with its expansive shoreline, rolling dunes splattered with sea oats and the lovely gulf sunsets.

Silver Shells

Another Destin Hot Tub option and more may be found at the sensational Silver Shells Beach Resort. These towers sit beachfront on a 1,000 foot wide white ribbon of private beach overlooking the luminescent gulf waters. Big balconies on each unit take full advantage of these awesome vista views. Towards the east, Silver Shells adjoins the expansive Henderson Beach State Park with even more beach to roam. A very large "lagoon" with 7,500 square feet of pristine pool water has an expansive patio for sunning and is surrounded by mini landscaped islands of palm trees. A tropical waterfall provides an attractive accent beside the bubbling hot tub. There is an additional rectangular lap pool with classic lines adjoining a columned patio area that is both indoors and outside that also features a hot tub. The Silver Shells "Sandbar & Grille" is often open with a fully stocked bar that serves seafood sandwiches, tasty burgers and yummy snacks. A full day of pampered indulgence is available at the "Spa at Silver Shells" offering facials, manicures, pedicures, dermabrasion techniques, hydro therapy, aroma therapy and full body massage. There is also a state of the art Fitness Facility, private tennis courts and a basketball court on site. Silver Shells is in the heart of Destin with lots of dining and amusements nearby.

Sundestin

Sundestin also sits beachfront overlooking the glorious gulf. A swimming pool sits beachside where you will find their bubbling hot tub to relax while possibly spotting some dolphins frolicking in the distance. During inclement weather you may use the large indoor pool along with a Fitness Center, another hot tub and sauna.  You can also have lots of fun at their indoor Video Arcade. This awesome location is minutes away from the bustling Destin Marina which harbors the largest private charter fishing fleet on the Gulf of Mexico. There are a number of waterfront restaurants, friendly bars, specialty shops, seasonal festivals, free live musical concerts and holiday fireworks there at Harborwalk Village.

Ocean Reef Resorts has lots of Destin vacation rentals at each of these "bubbling hot" properties. Pick the one you like best and have a sensational steamy visit!
