Great Home
Selah by the Sea was a very nice home. It was roomy, clean, comfortable and nicely decorated. Beds were comfy and patios and porch nice. Great beach area with small bar and good food available right at the beach. Good cooler and 2 wagons also beach chairs available at home. Pools were very nice. Owner was very easy to work with and very nice. We would definitely stay here again.

Everything Is Wonderful !!
From the moment we made contact to become renters, Maria was so lovely and gracious. She got back to us immediately and allowed us to see her beautiful cottage in the fall. We knew from the pictures how refreshing and comfortable SELAH by the Sea was, but when we got here and started to unwind, it felt like our home away from home. The cottage is so well equipped. We want for. Noth. I love the back, fully fenced courtyard as well as the screened in porches on cooler days. We will most certainly be back to this great vacation spot!!! It will not disappoint you if you are thinking about SELAH for your Destin vacation!! Thank you so much for having us as your guests, Maria. We love it here

Perfect Location
Selah by the Sea is located in Emerald Shores development and might be the perfect location. Walkable to the beach, a great mix of folks of all ages, with a secluded feel that belies the activity of the are. Two nice pools but an easy walk to the beach. Drivable to any main activity. The house itself has the perfect layout for a variety of family styles. A master bedroom and bath in the main part of the house with s screen porch connecting a suite of two other bedrooms and a bath--perfect for either friends or extended family. There are lots of extras (cooker, wagon, chairs, etc) that make the packing load much lighter. An easy place to keep organized and was very clean. We will definitely consider for a return trip!!

The house was beautiful
Maria is such a great host! The house was so beautiful and it was everything that the pictures showed and more! Maria is such a beautiful person and it felt like I knew her even though we'd never met. We will definitely come back to emerald shores' Selah by the Sea!

Perfect for a beach vacation!
Maria's house looks exactly how it is presented. A beautiful home with a great style, perfect for a beach vacation. We had 6 adults and 2 children and it was perfect for all our needs. Separation when needed and a large patio and living room to fit us all. The neighborhood was family friendly, everyone around was so nice, but i think it's impossible to be mean in a beautiful place like Destin! Our neighborhood had two pools that were perfect for when the beach had big waves. A huge blessing was that we could walk to Dollar General to get pretty much anything. We cooked a lot of our own food in the house which saved us a lot of money, and the house had everything we needed! The walk to the beach was very easy, and the house supplied us with a wagon to get chairs and toys to and from the beach. All in all, we had an amazing trip and I can't thank Maria enough for being a wonderful host!

House was even better than expected
House was even better than expected! Checkin was extremely simple and Maria was very easy to communicate with. Gated neighborhood with a 7 minute walk to private section of the beach. Layout of the house is great and allows for extra privacy. Fenced in backyard was ideal for having a pet. There is also a large screened in area for the occasional thunderstorm viewing! Would highly recommend and will be back!

Heaven by the Sea
We loved everything about this place! From the "at-home" feeling you get when you walk inside this glorious place to the inspirational signs throughout the space. All the rooms where private and had plenty of space for my family and my wedding party. There was a nice company renting beach furniture when we arrived on the beach. There's plenty of beach supplies at the house but we didn't realize that until we were looking for a vaccum on the day of check out. However, this place does not disappoint! You will adore staying here and you will not be disappointed. We intend on returning at least once a year! Maria is also extremely helpful and she checks in on you after you get settled. Loved that!

Location is fantastic!
Our family enjoyed our stay very much. The location was fantastic as it was a more relaxed and family friendly vibe than other places in the general area of Destin we explored. The home was decorated lovely and very clean. Next time, we wouldn’t pack as much as just about everything you would need for the beach was available (cooler, wagon, chairs, umbrella, boogie boards, toys, etc). My family’s Indiana skin was especially thankful for the available aloe. We spent most of our time on the beach as it was a short walk and absolutely beautiful. I would recommend walking there at sunset to watch the stingrays surf the waves. We also saw dolphins while swimming during the day. Maria was super friendly and made us feel welcome. I would recommend her place and we hope to return sooner than later!

We enjoyed our stay at Selah by the Sea
We enjoyed our stay at Selah by the Sea. It was clean with a lot of helpful items at the house to lighten our packing load. The screened in patio was a great place for the kids to play in the evenings while the adults visited in the living room. It was in a great location, not too far of a walk to the beach and super close to the pools. We would definitely return to this house in the future.

The house is absolutely beautiful
The house is absolutely beautiful. It is very spacious, clean, modern and very functional. The home had a TV in every room, the kitchen had every item you can possible need to make a meal. She even supplies board games, cards and pamphlets to help you know what the area has to offer. I was very happy and pleased to stay in this beach home. I highly recommend staying here. You will not be disappointed.

Selah by the Sea was amazing!
Our experience at Selah By the Sea was amazing. The home was clean and comfortable. Quiet and friendly neighborhood with activities nearby. We really enjoyed the 5 minute walk to the neighborhood’s private beach. Maria was also a great host, she communicated well throughout the process helping to create a great experience for check in and check out. We will definitely be visiting again!

Maria and Billy are excellent hosts. Maria was very quick to respond to every single message we sent her. Their home “ Selah by the Sea “ is absolutely perfect ...a home away from home. The kitchen is well equipped with everything, even a crockpot. The tv is Toms favorite. This is our second year staying in this wonderful home. It is a short walk to the beach. Thankful for the beach pavilion. We really like that Dollar General is soooo close for any item we might need. The community is quiet and perfect. All who stay here will be blessed by a wonderful home in a wonderful gated community.

Best Beach Vacay Ever!
Our host Maria was excellent at communicating-as this was our FIRST experience renting a home for at our vacation spot! She made the process easy.
The home was clean and beautifully decorated. The common areas had plenty of space for all 9 of us to lounge, eat and enjoy a movie together. And yet we had the option to have quiet time in the bedroom areas too!
This home came well equipped for families! We had 5 kids in our travel party and there were soo many sand playing toys and boogie boards that no one fought. The wagon provided was wonderful-as the walk to the beach carrying all our gear would have been a chore. That wagon allowed the kids to take whatever they wanted PLUS the adults’ chairs.
The home is located near a couple malls and plenty of eats, both fine and fast food. Making dinner w kids EASY.
The private beach was beautiful! The beach pavilion provided cold drinks and we had access to CLEAN restrooms. There was also a fresh water wash out station too!
Our two families (total of 9 people) had a stress free stay. We were truly sad to leave and hope to return.

Luxury Living
We just returned from a 10 day trip and all I have to say is everything was perfect. The house is gorgeous, incredibly clean and very well appointed. Maria was such a great host and we will definitly be back. It is a quick walk to the beach and close to restaurants. We could not have loved the location any more. The private beach was AMAZING!!! I have never seen a more beautiful beach and we have been all over the Caribbean. It's our new favorite spot! Thanks again, Maria for hosting! It truly was the BEST family vacation.

Amazing Stay!
Our family of four with two tweens had an amazing stay! House was exactly as pictured, and it had everything we needed (full stock of kitchen item and extra pillows and linens). House was clean and updated. Beach was a short 8 minute walk and the chairs, beach toys and wagon were perfect! Highly recommend!

Cute and well maintained
Overall the house is very cute and well maintained. The community the house is in is very nice, and we felt safe. The beach is well kept and the house comes with a wagon to carry all of your things which is nice as it is a bit of a walk to get to the beach. The owner was very sweet and helpful - reaching out to me a few days before the trip to answer any questions I had and to give some great tips. Would definitely recommend for a family or for someone looking for a more laid back experience!

Selah by the Sea was an amazing place for our family to stay during our trip to Destin
Selah by the Sea was an amazing place for our family to stay during our trip to Destin. The floor plan was perfect for all the adults to have private space but yet we were all together. Love that there was as much outdoor space as indoor. The house is so nice, clean, and comfortable. Loved the neighborhood and short walk to pools and the beach. Dollar General is within walking distance which was super handy. Hope to come back and if we do, we will stay here again.

Great place
Great place! The house was clean and close to the community pool. The neighborhood had golf cart shuttle service to the beach gate (not sure if this is all year round). The beach chairs, wagon, and toys were super useful for the beach. Also, in case you forget things at home there is a dollar general right next to the neighborhood.

Amazing house, location, and hosts! Highly recommend to any couples or small families. Very spacious and clean with so many amenities! It’s less then a five minute walk to the beach, and various restaurants nearby. I will definitely be looking at booking this property again when I’m in the Destin, FL area!

he house was absolutely beautiful, immaculate and the set up was just perfect.
This was my first time coming to Destin. Get away for 6 girls, 2 moms and 4 - 19 yr olds. The house was absolutely beautiful, immaculate and the set up was just perfect. The two back bedrooms were adorable and perfect for the girls. The girls had privacy away from the main house while still being connected. The home is just so pretty, beautiful colors and has everything you need. Very well thought out! The neighborhood is also beautiful, quiet and very well maintained. The beach is a 5 minute walk and the beach is gorgeous!!!! I have never seen such soft white sand, it's like powdered sugar. Destin itself is a great beach town. Plenty to do but still laid back, not super busy like a tourist beach. The people are so polite and friendly. Maria was a great host and a super nice person. This is a 5 star. I would not hesitate to come back here and will definitely recommend others to stay here. Thank you so much Maria, we had the best time!!!

Great vacation
We stayed at this location for four nights. This house was absolutely fantastic and very nicely decorated. We even used their nice gas grill one night to cook. The beach is only two blocks from the house and you are able to go onto a private beach which was awesome. We wish we could have stayed longer because everything was perfect.

The unit has a great set up for two couples for anyone looking for some privacy
This unit has a great set up for 2 couples or for anyone looking for a little privacy from their guests, since there is some separation between the rooms with a screened in porch. It’s only a short walk to the beach (.4 miles, I think) and the amenities at the beach are nice. The pool is on the smaller side, but it was clean and perfect for small kids. Even though it was past the summer season when we went, there still seemed to be plenty happening in the neighborhood and in Destin, so it didn’t feel too quiet (or too busy), if that makes sense! It was a great place to stay for a week.

Beautiful home in a fantastic location, near one of the most pristine beaches ever. The home is well stocked with everything you could possibly need for a great vacation. Maria is a super host and was super attentive and communicative.

Selah by the Sea is a wonderful and comfortable place that we would like to come back to someday
Selah by the Sea is a wonderful and comfortable place that we would like to come back to someday. We are in our 60’s so the walk to the private beach was too much but we found the public beach to be just fine. One day we had the swimming pool by the Emerald Shores entrance all to ourselves! The first week of May was a great time to go.

Selah by the Sea is a very special place
Selah by the Sea is a very special place. Better than advertised and the Host was wonderful to work with. I was in Destin for my wedding, and many of our friends and family were staying all around the area in resorts or condos . I can honestly say that Selah was far superior to any of the places that our guest were staying. I 10/10 recommend!

A very comfortable home in a darling community located so close to the beach
A very comfortable home in a darling community located so close to the beach Pavilion is a great value. Peaceful, conveniently located, spacious for a family or a girls trip. The porch was our favorite spot each morning or after a day at the beach. I highly recommend Maria’s property.

The community was close to the beach but felt secluded from the busyness of Destin
. The beach was a 5 minute walk and there was a wagon available to help transport beach chairs, coolers, etc. We can’t wait for our next stay at Selah By the Sea.

The location was great
The location was great! Far away from all the traffic but close enough for a short car ride! All you need is all there, including a private beach and two pools. Great stay!

Such a beautiful and peaceful home! A little walk to the beach access but not too far and even my 78 year old mother felt that it was a nice refreshing walk! Maria’s home has such a peaceful and warm feeling and I look forward to staying again!!!! Just a little side note………If you get a chance try Boshamps! It is amazing and so is Pompano Joe’s!!!!’

Beautiful home with a unique floor plan
We loved our trip to Destin and this home added value to our trip. Not only was the home beautifully furnished with a great kitchen/dining area it offered “extras”. The homeowner had many items available for renters use. Some examples: beach/pool items, a baby stroller, a little frig for back bedrooms and the list goes on from there.
It was a quick walk to the beach and Emerald Shores also had a golf cart “shuttle service” to the beach available daily until 5pm. It was also great to have bathrooms available while at the beach.
The availability of 2 pools for use with clean bathrooms was appreciated. Each pool area had plenty of lounge chairs as well as little tables set up for use.
We loved the unique floor plan with its outside bedrooms and screened areas. We’d love to visit in the fall to utilize those areas and the patio more.
It will be the first place we check for availinilty for a future trip to Destin!
