One of the best times to visit for a Destin vacation is mid-April to mid-May. The weather is warm and the rental rates are downright cheap in comparison with a summer vacation condo rental. Honestly, during this time of year, finding a destination or Miramar Beach hotel that can be the rates you will find on a condo booking is hard. On top of the great rates, and they really are perfect, spring is the time for southern sundresses, khakis, and possible bow ties as Destin kicks off several of our huge charity events.
The Junior League of the Emerald Coast Kentucky Derby Party
Join the Junior League of the Emerald Coast for an evening of high fashion and hats at The Derby Party on Saturday, May 6th, from 3 to 7 p.m. The Event will be held at the Emerald Bay Golf Club.

Hi there! I'm Laura Clayton, co-owner of Beach Condos in Destin, where we specialize in offering beautiful, pet-friendly beachfront vacation rentals along the Emerald Coast of Florida. From cozy couples’ getaways to spacious family retreats, I’ve helped thousands of guests experience the magic of Destin and Miramar Beach — one salty breeze and sugar-white sand beach at a time.
With over a decade of experience in the vacation rental world, I wear many sunhats — from managing bookings and marketing to creating pun-filled condo names and writing guest-friendly travel guides. I'm passionate about hospitality, obsessed with Gulf views, and always on the hunt for the best local seafood joints (I’ll let you in on my favorites if you ask!).
When I’m not answering guest emails or walking through new listings, you can find me chasing sunsets, curating homey details that make our condos shine, or brainstorming beachy blog content with a coffee in hand and my toes in the sand.
Whether you're planning your first visit or you're a returning beach bum, I’m here to help make your stay unforgettable.
Let’s get your flip-flops in the sand and your vacation on track — after all, life’s better at the beach.
