The Pink Pearl: Luxury, Gated, 200 Yards to Sand, 7+ Bedroom, Golf Cart & Bikes
Welcome to The Pink Pearl hosted by Tradeable Spaces– Your Upscale Destin Beach Escape
No detail has been missed in this luxurious beach retreat, just 200 yards from the sugar-white sands of Destin. With space for 18 guests, thoughtful amenities at every turn, and that coveted peek-a-boo water view, you'll feel like you've found your own private paradise. Beautifully furnished and fully stocked, this gated beach home combines coastal charm with upscale comfort.
The Pink Pearl, a luxury Destin beach house, designed for fun, connection, and pure relaxation. Tucked away in the sought-after Destiny East neighborhood, this stunning six-bedroom home plus carriage house is just 200 yards from the beach and minutes from Henderson Park Inn, Camille's, and Pompano Joe's. Perfectly appointed for a couples' retreat, girls' beach trip, family reunion, or anything in between – The Pink Pearl adapts to your vibe.
Your Private Path to Paradise – James Lee Beach Access
Just 200 yards from your door, follow the dedicated sidewalk past two neighboring homes and your private neighborhood pool, then slip through the pedestrian tunnel that delivers you straight to the James Lee Beach boardwalk. This isn't just any beach access – it's your gateway to one of Destin's most spectacular stretches of sand.
A Beach with Everything
James Lee Beach is a rare gem: a public beach that doesn't feel crowded, flanked by the emerald Gulf waters on one side and the serene Four Prong Lake on the other. With pavilions for shade, restrooms, and changing stations, you've got all the conveniences without sacrificing that pristine beach vibe. The iconic Crab Trap sits right in the middle of the action – perfect for grabbing frozen drinks, fresh seafood, or a casual bite without ever leaving the sand. The East side of the beach is closest to The Pink Pearl (hello, shorter walk with the cooler!), but here's the beauty: this massive stretch of beach means you can set up camp wherever your heart desires. Want to be close to the pavilions? Done. Prefer a quieter spot? You've got room to roam. Traveling with multiple families? Spread out and still feel connected.
Dream Beach Celebrations
Planning something special? James Lee Beach welcomes weddings and events, and the pavilions are available for rental – imagine saying "I do" with your toes in the sand and the Gulf as your backdrop, or hosting a milestone birthday celebration beachside. Use The Pink Pearl as your home base for sleeping, getting ready, and gathering before and after your festivities. It's the ultimate combination: a stunning beach venue just steps away with a luxurious private retreat for your group.
Roll in Style or Stroll at Sunset
Prefer wheels over walking? Park your complimentary golf cart at the covered picnic area right at beach access – perfect for hauling umbrellas, coolers, beach toys, and everything else that makes a beach day perfect. After a day of sun and surf, rinse off the sand in your private outdoor shower before heading back to The Pink Pearl.
Whether you're chasing sunrise with your coffee, building sandcastles with the kids, or watching the sunset paint the sky in shades of pink (naturally!), James Lee Beach delivers that quintessential Destin experience – and it's practically in your backyard.
Pro tip: Arrange for luxury beach chair setups in advance, or bring your own gear and claim your perfect spot on this glorious stretch of coast.
Location, Location, Location
Teens and older kids can walk out the back gate to ice cream, Mexican food, and other eateries. From the front, stroll or bike to Henderson Park Inn, Camille's, and beachfront restaurants including Pompano Joe's. You're perfectly positioned for convenience and beach-town charm.

The house was perfect for our large family get together. Plenty of room for 11 adults and 7 kids. I really liked that the house was equal distance from the beach and the pool. It allowed for my family to enjoy both places equally. The golf cart and bikes were a great addition.
We had an AWESOME time! The location was fabulous, the Amenities were even more so fabulous, the Management team was Amazing in that they were on top of everything no matter how big or small but more importantly the house was Fantastic, Amazing and Awesome all rolled into one!
Wonderful Time from Missouri City, Texas
We booked sugar Shack for our extended family to celebrate a big anniversary. The layout was perfect. Enough seating for everyone at the table and in the living room. The game room was perfect for the older kids. The small stash of beach items was useful and we added to it. We would absolutely stay there again.
The house was perfect for our family with many young infants, toddlers and children. We were close to the beach, pool and tennis courts. Many restaurants were close by for evening take out too. We loved that so many bedrooms had king beds for the adults along with the bunk beds where needed. Amy was quick to respond when we had questions. Overall a great time in Destin!
Enjoyed some fabulous time in Destin with high school friends. We ate out at so many wonderful restaurants, took a trip to Crab Island and enjoyed the beautiful white sandy beaches. House was adorably decorated and had everything we needed. Seven ladies each had their own rooms and we never even made it to the game room. Would stay again!
There were 18 of us and the house was big enough we all had our space. I loved that three of the bedrooms had king beds and bunks. And the carriage house was nice for this Grandma and Grandpa to have their own space. The beach was so close and the bikes were great for the teenagers and the golf cart was great for taking the littles to the beach. Since we had double red flags two days it was really nice to have the pool and courts to use.
House was nice, big with a lot of space. Liked the game room for the kids. Nice decor, needs a deep cleaning. Needs more kitchen towels. Nice walk to beach and pool. Pool was very warm, needs a cooling system. Ocean was beautiful.
We had a fabulous time at the sugar shack! Loved the cute bag and everything was just perfect for our family and a couple of friends to get away before school started. It was super hot at the beach, but we were able to sit close to the water and the breeze kept us comfortable. The house is really pretty decorated in nice colors. The kids loved the golf cart and the bikes and the adults loves it. There was a separate playroom to send them to.
Our entire family absolutely loved our vacation to Destin this summer and aside from the beautiful beaches and pristine gulf waters, a huge reason was this rental. Some of the highlights are ..
- IT IS TREMENDOUSLY SPACIOUS for a large family.
- Wonderful bedrooms and even more important, great living room and kitchen for the family to gather and enjoy time together.
- The game room was great for the kids (and even the adults).
- kitchen was extremely well equipped with everything we needed for the week
- Golf cart was extremely handy to bring family back and forth to the beach (along with supplies) each day.
- Communication with management was very helpful as well. Anytime we had an issue (needing new propane tanks) or a question they were quick to respond and get things resolved. Even on 4th of July.
We would fully recommend a vacation stay at this home
This property is spacious and in a great location with easy access to beach and 2 pools. Plenty of great local restaurants! Golf cart and bikes are included which was great!
A little disappointed with sleeping arrangements in rooms with bunks. Bunk beds make a lot of noise! (Squeeking when kids move). The refrigerator door lacked a strong seal and we often found the door open upon our return home.
Furniture at dining table needs cleaned!
Regardless, we had a wonderful time here and would highly recommend this house/neighborhood!
I booked this property due to my daughter getting married on the beach. The property is beautiful and in a great location. It has great amenities with plenty of extras. I had 12-13 people with me and there was plenty of space and rooms for all us. Follow all HOA rules as instructed by owner because you will get a ticket if any rules are broken. The guests and I agree that all the bed mattresses are extremely FIRM with no cushion, but to each your own.
Reasons why I didn’t give it 5 stars:
1) we spent 5 nights and four of those nights the upstairs had no AC- or the temperature upstairs was 77 and above- in July. Now the AC company came 2 different days and the manager did her best to get the AC fixed, but it was absolutely HOT. Some guests had to move downstairs or sleep on downstairs couch to get cool during the night. Getting ready for a wedding in the heat was no fun and coming home from a hot day to a hot room was no fun either. I understand that things like this happen and out of your control but it was still unpleasantly hot.
2) several times I messaged the owner a question and many times I got no reply. Some of the questions I figured out myself but others well I still have no replies.
Overall this was a great property and I would highly recommend.
Destiny East was a nice gated community. There were several amenities, our favorite being the pickleball courts. There is also a large pool with plenty of seating, it never felt crowded. Having the golf cart to get to and from the beach and pool area was fabulous!
For the house specifically we loved the large living and dining room. There was plenty of room for all of us.
All of the bedrooms were large and had plenty of closet/storage space for our things. The mattresses were not the most comfortable in a couple of the rooms. When you laid down you rolled to the middle of the bed.
The bathrooms in 2 of the upstairs bedrooms were nice size, the hall bathroom though was pretty small for 2 bedrooms to share.
One area that we feel could definitely be improved in is cleanliness. The rugs in the bathrooms and kitchen all looked dirty and like they had not been washed. The silverware and other drawers could use a good cleaning as well. We left both of these suggestions on the board in the laundry room.
The game room was great for our group! It was one of the main things that caught my eye when I booked the house and it did not disappoint.
The property manager was FABULOUS to work with!! We had 2-3 issues of things needing fixed while there and she was always quick to respond and help us out.
Just FYI regarding beach access… we could never find a private beach area for East and had to use the public access which filled up with tents quickly on front!
The Pink Pearl was wonderful. Our family of 14 stayed there and it was very comfortable and beautiful. We are thankful for this home and all the fond memories from this trip.
We especially loved the proximity to the beach, the clubhouse, and lots of activities. The game room was a hit with the kids. Plenty of room for everyone to relax and enjoy the week.Bring your own beach towel and chairs, or rent at the beach.
We had a wonderful time at this beach house in Destin. The home was clean, spacious, and well-stocked with everything we needed. The location was ideal being just a short walk to the beach and close to restaurants and shops.The hosts were easy to communicate with and made the whole process smooth from start to finish. We especially enjoyed the balcony and the peaceful evenings. Overall, a great stay and we’d definitely come back.
It was a perfect house for all ages of our family. Location to beach & pool was convenient. Appreciated the use of the golf cart. Check in & check out was easy.
The property was beautiful and well appointed. We enjoyed the game room and golf cart. Great location to pool, beach and Destin area attractions, restaurants, shopping, etc. We all enjoyed the trip.
We had a large group of extended family, and the house was perfect for us! The location was walkable from the beach, but having the golf cart to carry all the kids’ beach gear was a huge plus! The host was very quick to answer our questions and provide assistance when needed. We would definitely stay here again in the future.
This property was perfect for our large family, having enough beds and seating for meals. The house was stunning! And the carriage house was a bonus for the teens. Destin is beautiful & the beaches amazing!
Wonderful time! The teens were in the carriage house and the adjoining game room the entire time, giving everyone their own space to enjoy vacation. We used both pools. The one between the house and the beach was like a private pool. We could stop off on the way back from the beach and just a few more feet back to the house - no one was ever there. Great communication from the host.
We enjoyed staying at this property with our extended family for a long weekend. Lots to do for the kids in the game room and we liked having the extra apartment for our extended family. We walked the sidewalks to dinner, enjoyed the pool and of course made memories across the street at the beach each day. Fabulous trip, house and location.
