The Space

Want to walk out of your front door into the sand?

Want breathtaking ocean views from every floor?

Want to avoid insanely-crowded beaches and impossible-to-find beach parking?

Want to be close to premier shopping, dining and activities?

Need sleeping capacity for 22 people?

Although your list sounds impossible, Shipwatch’s extremely unique location checks all of your boxes!

Unlike most of our area’s homes that share super-crowded public beaches with thousands of other vacation rental properties, Shipwatch is set on a very private street with no public parking that dead-ends into the sugar sand beaches that made Destin famous.

The result? Unlike our elbow-to-elbow public beaches, Shipwatch’s neighborhood beach access is only practical for the very lucky visitors to the 28 homes on its street.

With Shipwatch, there’s no need to load up the hot car to get to the beach or drag a cooler for blocks during a steaming Florida summer only to have to fight with thousands of other visitors for your spot in the sand.

With Shipwatch, leave your car in the driveway. Simply walk out the front door directly onto the dune beach trail or walk out the back fence gate directly onto a neighborhood beach access. Yep, at Shipwatch you are only 30 seconds away from one of the least crowded, most-rewarding beach experiences possible along Florida’s famous Emerald Coast!

By being adjacent to the Gulf of Mexico, you’ll be able to genuinely enjoy our amazing ocean while on the beach; smell and hear the ocean while grilling next to Shipwatch’s (seasonally heated) 4.5 ft deep pool, and soak in the amazing ocean views from every one of Shipwatch’s floors.

Located on a quiet road off of Scenic Gulf Drive (which is Destin and Miramar Beach’s premiere beach area), Shipwatch truly offers the best of both worlds: central to activities, dining, and the Gulf’s largest premium outlet mall, yet away from the millions who visit our area each year. Trust me, this combination is nearly impossible to find.

Not a worn out rental. Recently renovated Shipwatch features quartz counters, stainless appliances, designer furnishings, premium mattresses and new furnishings…all in a fun, spa-chic style!

Shipwatch offers a first floor king suite, three second floor king suites, 2 bunk rooms and a third floor widow’s watch with stunning ocean views that offer daybeds for a whopping sleeping capacity of 22!

You’ve never paddleboarded? Well here’s your chance! Shipwatch includes two free inflatable paddleboards. (The inflatables are more stable and make it much easier to learn.)

This new-to-the-market property will certainly book soon! Don’t settle for a far-too-typical crowded beach experience! Reserve your preferred dates for Shipwatch…and its almost impossible-to-find location… before it’s too late!

Love it !!    Mar 14, 2024

review star


The beach was so close the kids could run between the house and beach. The house was plenty large enough for our family of 15 and we loved the tucked away neighborhood that was a short drive to all restaurants and attractions. The heated pool was a must for March in FL and wasnt an extra cost. The checkout process was so easy; we didnt have to spend time cleaning after our vacation. We would definitely stay here again when visiting the Emerald Coast.

My family and I loved Todds beautiful home! It was spacious, beautifully decorated and squeaky clean! The proximity to the beach and stores was great. Everyone enjoyed the heated wading pool and small balcony overlooking the pool. I would come back again in a heartbeat! Thanks Todd!

Beautiful home !    Oct 07, 2023

review star


Beautiful home with privacy for 3 families. Walk to beach in 3 minutes. Easy walk to restaurants, grocery, drug store and outlet mall. There is a lot of construction going on on short street so work vehicles clogged things up. Small pool was especially nice for kids and adults. Pool heater was a challenge to get working but once it started it was great. This is the second time weve stayed in one of Todds rentals and they are a top notch company. Always responsive within minutes.

AMAZING!    Feb 27, 2022

review star


This place was absolutely AMAZING! Its's literally STEPS away from the shore line. The neighbors were nice and friendly. The host was very communicative and a joy to speak with. The house in itself was breathtaking. Every room was as stated! The pool was heated and just a pleasure to be in as some nights were very nippy while we were there. We were directly across the street from several shops, entertainment and a plethora of restaurants. It was such a pleasure and will def go back and stay.

The family and I had a great time at Todd's place ( Birthday and Christmas on the beach) The communication was super easy and quick and the place looks exactly like it does on the pictures. The neighborhood is very conveniently located near the beach, shopping and great restaurants. I would absolutely recommend to stay there!-Five Stars -
