More About Palazzo del Mar
The magnificent Palazzo del Mar is a gulf-front, gated estate situated within the Emerald Coast's most exclusive address of “The Shores of Crystal Beach.” This mansion was designed for entertaining. This beachfront estate boasts 12 bedrooms and 11 full and three half baths, four-story home has 13,342 interior square feet and four floors of travertine stone terraces to enjoy expansive views of the Gulf. Quality craftsmanship throughout the home featuring Brazilian cherry wood floors, granite countertops, custom stone and marble fireplaces, 12” crown molding, and lighted tray ceilings. Guardian whole-house air purification systems located in both the main house and guest house provide ionization to sanitize the air. This rental is ideal for large groups, family reunions, retreats, and other occasions, featuring endless amenities and entertainment options like a sports bar, poker room, billiards table, private elevator, and movie theater.

Experience panoramic views of the Gulf sunrises and sunsets from any of its four terraces covered in 3,500 square feet of Brazilian travertine stone. Swim in the in-ground, outdoor pool with swim-up bar overlooking the gulf, wind down in the heavily jetted in-ground jacuzzi or relax on your own white sand deeded beach with private access. The property has a separate, 3-bedroom guest cottage with majestic gulf views, bamboo floors, granite countertops and a full kitchen complete with Viking and Subzero appliances above the heated and cooled garage.

Palazzo Del Mar has been regarded as one of Destin's premier luxury beachfront properties for nearly 2 decades. The size of this property is astonishing, but its comfortable furnishings, practical design, and a family-friendly atmosphere are what ultimately sets it apart and ensures memories that last a lifetime.

Palazzo Del Mar is managed by Five Star Properties and is serviced by a dedicated beach attendant from March through October who will set up and take down your beach chairs each day and remain on the beach in front of Palazzo throughout the day to ensure you receive the location and space you desire.

Palazzo Del Mar is a property that we discussed revisiting again. The gorgeous views and various sitting areas on each floor were a plus along with the main eating area made it a good and memorable fit for our group.

Perfect home for our family vacation! The house was absolutely amazing and the property management team went above and beyond to make sure we had everything we needed! The location couldn't have been better. Just disappointed it's already booked for next year. Definitely would love to come back here again! You couldn't ask for better amenities! We totally enjoyed our family time together here!

Best Experience Ever!
The house is phenomenal and was so beautiful, comfortable, and yet upscale. The management team and on-site support was incredible. They were super responsive and so knowledgeable about all of the "bells and whistles" in the house. Our family and friends had an amazing time and the views from the house of the beach were breath-taking. We would recommend it to anyone and definitely give it 10+++ on a scale from 1 to 10. It's worth every dollar!!!!

Exceeded Expectations!
This was my first time using Vrbo, and I booked it for a corporate retreat. It was perfect!!! The house is amazing, everything is so nice and clean. Everything was so convenient within a short distance, and the beach had the whitest sand and the water was so turquoise and clear. There's so much to do in the house that really there's no need to leave. It's very comfortable and I would highly recommend this house to anyone looking for a luxurious getaway.

The house is stunning, it was a perfect fit for our Executive team. Great combination of work with the board room and office and fun with the game room and movie theater. The recommended chef was amazing. The PM company was always available and very responsive. The beach was beautiful and the sunsets breathtaking.

Great house, but safety/privacy concerns
First let me say, the house is magnificent and huge! It’s exactly as pictured and it is beautiful! The service was TOP NOTCH! The property manager took care of a couple issues we had right away! With that said, I have mixed feelings on this house. There’s no question, it is huge and has lots of bedrooms! However the decor is a bit odd for a beach house. It kinda felt like stepping into another decade. The heavy cloth drapes on the windows blocked out a lot of the sunlight, which is really what you wanna see everyday while on the beach. The dark wood paneling everywhere made the house feel dark and drab. It’s beautifully done, it just felt nothing like a beach house. But the big negative to this house is it’s located right next to a PUBLIC BEACH ACCESS which made our area sooooo crazy crowded. Most days there were 4-5 rows deep of people lined up behind us. We had people walk right in between our circle of chairs to get to the beach. We had people try to set up chairs and umbrellas directly in front of our setup. It was a struggle everyday, there were people everywhere. With the public access gate being right there, tons of people walk in and plop down right there (which is in front of the house). All the traffic there just brought lots of problems. We had to shoo people off several times because they would walk up to the house since the exit is directly next to it. One evening a guy was there showering at the top of our stairs because he thought it was part of public access area, which was just steps away from where we had our kids swimming in the pool. One of our teens was sitting on our patio ledge and got slapped in the back by someone leaving the beach. (The beach access walkway runs along the side of the house.) We had to chase off 2 teens who were trying to jump our fence. We had several people stop us coming out of the house asking if they could come inside and see the house, they’d wanna know what the name of it was, how much it was etc. which is super annoying when you’re just trying to relax on vacation. With the mass amounts of people there, it was impossible to escape the crowds. It’s also next to a huge condominium bldg which just adds to the congestion. There was also 4 weddings while we were there and the wedding setup is DIRECTLY in front of the house, which brought even more people traffic. We’ve been coming to Destin for 10 years and have never had an experience like this.

Sorry this took so long to go submit. This property perfectly accommodated our small family ceremony. Not sure there could have been a better result. The people the facility the entire experience was amazing and anyone looking to have this type of event on the beach would not be disappointed in any way whatsoever!! A 10+

Amazing stay at a beautiful house
This place is as advertised. It is such an amazing property right on the beach. There is plenty of space to spread out to not feel on top of one another if you have a large group. The movie theater was a hit with everyone of all ages and the adults enjoyed the poker table and billiards table by the bar. The beach service was awesome as well. JR, the concierge/house and beach manager, went above and beyond with everything to make sure we were good. He always made sure our chairs and umbrellas were setup and ready to go. He also set us up with a paddle board and kayak when we asked. JR was also very responsive on any question or issue that we had for the house. All in all it was an amazing trip and we would highly recommend this property to anyone with a large group.
