Beautiful home for the whole family. Elevator came in handy with all the up and down. Beach walking distance was very convenient.

What a great house! So close to the beach, very clean and spacious. We had 12 people and had plenty of room. The elevator made moving luggage so easy and the kids loved it. We had a tiny maintenance issue and they took care of it within minutes. Very attentive! We will definitely be coming back to enjoy this home.

We were very happy with our rental house. It was clean, and spacious. The home had 2 sets of washer and dryers. The kitchen was well stocked. They also had 2 refrigerators, one on the first floor which was nice when taking drinks to the beach. They also had an ice machine on the first floor. There was plenty of towels and wash cloths in each bathroom. Beach access was close too. Also compass resorts responded fast to any questions I had. Check in and check out was fast and easy. I would definitely recommend Absolute Destiny for large families, and we would stay here again.

Everyone was extremely helpful and fixed all issues right away. We enjoyed our stay. It was perfect for our family group of 11.

Joy Urwiler - Posted: 6/16/2026

This home was perfect for our family of 11. The downstairs area worked great for the kids and older girls, while the six adults stayed comfortably upstairs. We especially loved the king-size beds, and the master bedroom and bathroom were exceptional.The kitchen was very well stocked and had everything we needed during our stay. The location couldn’t have been better—just a one-minute walk to both the beach and the pool.Compass Resorts was wonderful to work with from start to finish. Everyone we interacted with was friendly, helpful, and professional.We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and would absolutely book this home again.

Joy Urwiler - Posted: 6/15/2026

Very nice 4 bedroom home located super close to the beach access in Destiny By The Sea. Great view of the water from the balconies. An elevator makes it easy and convenient to get to the 3rd floor bedrooms. The extra refrigerator and ice machine on the first floor are great for storing drinks and preparing coolers for the beach. All 4.5 bathrooms have been nicely updated with marble floors and walls. Our group of 4 couples has stayed in Destiny By The Sea 10 times in several different houses…..and Absolute Destiny tops our list for closeness to the beach, convenience, views and more.

Brad Wamsley - Posted: 5/12/2026

We loved our stay at Absolute Destiny! The porch was where we spend much of our time, its spacious and good views of the water. The house was a great location for our stay. The property management was super as well, we had very pleasant interactions with members of the rental company as well as property company. We would love to return in the future!

I wish I could give this property a bad review so we could keep it all to ourselves, but it was fantastic. It's a great place to stay as a family. I will say if you plan on using the bunks on the first floor you may want to bring a mattress cover or just forgo them all together and bring air mattresses. They are pretty rough to sleep on., but it was still worth it.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at destiny by the sea. The home was more than what we could’ve ever imagined. Beautifully decorated and amazing location. Beach access is right outside of your front steps. This was the best part of the whole stay. We would wake up in the morning and just walk right outside directly onto a private beach. I highly recommend this for a large group or family.

The house was perfect for our group of ten. Our kids all loved the bunk bed room. The elevator was a game changer for my father in navigating the house. It was literally steps away to beach access to the neighborhood’s private beach. We all agreed that we would definitely stay there again.

Overall this property was great. You can't beat the location being located in an upscale gated community, across the street from the beach (with a nice view) and right around the corner from the pool. While I rated the property 5 stars there are still a few things that could be done to tip the scales even further.....such as stocking the kitchen better (cutting boards, tupperware, kitchen towels, acrylic/kid friendly glasses were all lacking), providing beach towels / chairs / games would have been helpful rather than having to bring our own and the pull out couch in the basement was not comfortable (according to my kids!). In regards to the rental company, we really liked the app they used to provide information about the property. However, it would be nice if they reached out to notify groups when the property was available rather than asking groups to call to confirm, especially when it took 15-20 minutes to get through every time we called. The rental company also needs to ensure the house is stocked with enough bracelets (required for to access the beach and pool) to accommodate the max occupancy of the house or at least the number of people in the rental party. Again, this property has a lot to like - very nicely decorated, great location, views from the spacious decks, plenty of space, etc. and I would definitely recommend!

Stayed in this house MANY years ago and happened to book it again this year. It has since been updated and remodeled and I was pleasantly surprised and extremely happy with the results! It provided an amazing retreat away from home, especially due to being an Ida evacuee. Loved having use of the elevator for grandparents that were with us. The view of the beach from the balcony was great! Master bedroom and all bathrooms upstairs were AMAZING! Would definitely stay here again for future visits!

We planned our annual Vacation with our 3 adult children and their children, this year at Absolute Destiny! It was The Perfect Home for us! 3 levels of separation for babies to Sleep or doing wash (in a beautiful front loading new washer and dryer)on the 3rd Floor, to separate living rooms and 2 dining areas, on the 2nd, with great balconies off of the living areas and all bedrooms!!. The 1st floor was amazing. Another kitchen!!! And..another washer and dryer! The bunk room was perfect for older children with a bathroom with shower. Plenty of towels and all well appointed and supplied . Above all...it was very clean!!! The BEST ASPECT OF THIS HOME IS... We were STEPS FROM THE BEACH ACCESS!!! Literally, across the very narrow street. Not a big Hwy!!!!!! It’s a neighborhood that we loved and appreciated the “rules”. The security is ongoing and every guest follows the reasonable “rules” so everyone is comfortable and safe. The beach service is THE BEST!!! 1st row even in the busiest season!! Call 2-3 weeks AHEAD!!!! Very peaceful beach with nice and polite families. Only 1 row of chairs!!!! We made lots of friends with whom our grandchildren could play. So different from years and years of stepping over people. Ps I gave The Beach Boys lunch and chocolate chip cookies. They were so appreciative!! Definitely coming back to Absolute Destiny. Love the realty staff of Compass!! Especially, Chloe!!!
