Shoreline Gardens Vacation Rental in Destin, Florida
Tucked along the calm waters of Destin Harbor on Holiday Isle, Shoreline Gardens Vacation Rental condos offer a rare combination of private beach access and true harborfront living. Located on Gulf Shore Drive just off Harbor Boulevard (US-98), this low-density waterfront community provides boat-friendly amenities, spacious floor plans, and easy access to the best of Destin, Florida — without the high-rise crowds.
Shoreline Gardens sits in one of Destin’s most desirable micro-locations: the Holiday Isle peninsula. This unique stretch of land is bordered by the Gulf of Mexico to the south and Destin Harbor to the north, placing guests within walking distance of sugar-white sand beaches while enjoying tranquil sunset views over the harbor.
Why Stay at Shoreline Gardens?
True Harborfront Setting
Unlike many beach condos that face parking lots or busy roads, Shoreline Gardens is positioned directly on the harbor. Morning coffee on your balcony comes with boat traffic gliding by and reflections dancing across the water. In the evenings, the sky lights up with brilliant orange and pink sunsets over the marina.
Private Holiday Isle Beach Access
Guests enjoy deeded access to the private beaches of Holiday Isle, just a short stroll across Gulf Shore Drive. Because this section of beach is limited to residents and guests of the peninsula, it remains less crowded than public beach accesses along Scenic Highway 98.
Quiet, Low-Density Atmosphere
With fewer units than towering Gulf-front resorts, Shoreline Gardens feels residential and relaxed. There are no long elevator waits or overcrowded pool decks — just peaceful waterfront living in the heart of Destin.
Rental Types at Shoreline Gardens
A Shoreline Gardens Vacation Rental typically includes spacious two- and three-bedroom condos designed for comfort and extended stays.
- Large private balconies (many overlooking Destin Harbor)
- Open-concept living and dining areas
- Full kitchens with updated appliances
- In-unit washer and dryer
- Generous square footage compared to typical beach condos
- Covered parking and easy ground access
These layouts are ideal for families, snowbirds, or guests bringing a boat who want room to spread out while still being steps from the water.
Community Amenities
Harborfront Swimming Pool
The bayfront pool sits directly along the harbor’s edge, offering a calm and scenic alternative to busy Gulf-front pools. Lounge chairs face the water, making it easy to relax while watching fishing charters head toward East Pass.
Private Boat Slips & Dock
One of the most valuable features of Shoreline Gardens is its private dock and available boat slips. Guests can launch directly into Destin Harbor, reach Crab Island within minutes, or head through East Pass into the Gulf for world-class fishing.
Tennis Court
The on-site tennis court provides a recreational option for guests who enjoy staying active between beach and boating outings.
Grilling & Outdoor Gathering Areas
Designated grilling spaces near the water allow families to cook fresh Gulf seafood while enjoying harbor breezes and sunset views.
Micro-Location Advantages on Holiday Isle
Shoreline Gardens is located along Gulf Shore Drive, just south of Harbor Boulevard (US-98). From this address, guests are minutes from the Destin Harbor Boardwalk, Norriego Point, East Pass, Marler Bridge, and shopping along US-98.
Holiday Isle’s peninsula geography limits through traffic and commercial development, creating a quieter residential atmosphere compared to other areas of Destin, Florida.

The presence of on-site boat slips dramatically enhances the vacation experience. Instead of trailering daily, you step from your condo to your dock and head straight to Crab Island or offshore fishing grounds.
Sunset-Oriented Views
Because the complex faces west across the harbor, many units capture unobstructed sunset skies reflecting over the water.
Holiday Isle Exclusivity
Holiday Isle’s peninsula setting creates a peaceful, neighborhood-style environment that feels tucked away while remaining central to Destin’s attractions.
Larger Residential Layouts
Compared to high-rise towers with compact floor plans, Shoreline Gardens condos offer generous square footage and traditional layouts designed for comfort and extended stays.
