Some vacations are best written barefoot — with sugar-white sand underfoot and the Gulf of Mexico turning every shade of emerald. This sun-filled townhome at Tops'l Beach & Racquet Resort is exactly where that story starts. Sleep six, play a round of pickleball or putt-putt, and let Miramar Beach, Sandestin golf, and Baytowne Wharf write the rest.
The Space:
46 Forest Hills Lane is a thoughtfully furnished two-story townhome inside the gated Tops'l Beach & Racquet Resort — a 52-acre playground on the Emerald Coast that delivers the kind of vacation you actually daydream about.
Downstairs, a fully stocked kitchen is ready for everything from quick beach breakfasts to full family dinners. The dining table seats six, and the inviting living room — with plush seating and a sleeper sofa — is made for unwinding after a big day out. Slide open the patio doors and step into your private outdoor space: the perfect perch for morning coffee or evening cocktails under a Florida sky.
Upstairs, the master suite is a genuine retreat — a king-sized bed, floor-to-ceiling windows, and a wash of natural light that makes waking up feel easy. The guest suite features two twin beds and its own en suite bath, plus private patio access for a quiet start to the day. An in-unit washer and dryer means you never have to think twice about packing light.
Guest Access:
This is a self check-in property managed by Heritage Collection VR — no front desk, no waiting. Your personalized door code and full arrival instructions will be sent ahead of your stay. The townhome is located at 46 Forest Hills Lane within the gated Tops'l Beach & Racquet Resort community. Parking is available on-site. Your welcome message will include everything you need to settle in and start enjoying your vacation right away.
The Neighborhood:
Tops'l Beach & Racquet Resort puts you right in the sweet spot of Florida's Emerald Coast. The Gulf of Mexico — with its impossibly clear turquoise water and powder-white sand — is steps from your door. The Village of Baytowne Wharf at Sandestin is just minutes away, a lively waterfront destination packed with boutique shops, award-winning restaurants, live entertainment, and the Baytowne Adventure Zone for families. Sandestin Golf and Beach Resort, home to four championship courses, borders the community. When you're ready to explore beyond the resort, you're close to Destin Harbor for dolphin cruises and deep-sea fishing charters, Crab Island for a true local experience, and Henderson Beach State Park for pristine, uncrowded shoreline. Outcast Seafood and Pompano Joe's are local favorites for Gulf-fresh bites, while Boshamps on the harbor is a don't-miss for oyster lovers. Silver Sands Premium Outlets and Publix are both within a short drive.
Getting Around:
A personal vehicle is recommended — most of what makes this area great is a short, easy drive along Scenic Gulf Drive or US-98. Destin-Fort Walton Beach Airport (VPS) is about 40 minutes away, and Uber and Lyft serve the area well. Bike rentals are available nearby if you'd rather cruise the coast with the breeze in your face. Once you're at the resort, the beach is an easy walk.

Great Location
I stayed here with my husband and 2 young children. We had such a great time at the beach and were super close to the activities at Baytowne Warf and Sandestin. The Tops'l staff was very helpful and kind. The tram service brought us to the beach access point right from our front door which is so convenient when lugging beach chairs and small children. We would stay here again.

Great Location
This property is located within a larger community that has so much to offer. The Tops'l staff was friendly and helpful to us. The tram service drove us directly from our front door down to the beach access point and back which was super convenient. The proximity to the pool was appreciated by our kids and proximity to the gym was appreciated by my husband. We had a great stay here and would come back.

Pool access
Our stay was wonderful… I believe the only thing that needs to be clarified is the pool access. There was no documentation stating which pool we had access to. Even though there was a pool right out our back door we didn’t have access to it. The only pool we had access to was by the beach which was about 1/2 mile away by tram, which is ok but I had to make several calls to scenic stays and Vacasa to figure it out

Just what we were looking for!
This townhome was perfect for my family’s visit. It was ample space for us, very clean and right by the pool which was perfect for my toddler. The two bedrooms supplied good space and very comfy beds. We also enjoyed the privacy of the outdoor space. The backyard allowed for playtime and blowing bubbles when we needed a pool break. We also enjoyed walks around the property. We didn’t take advantage of the tram to the beach as we met local family at some of our favorite beach access points. Overall, we really enjoyed our stay and appreciated the owner checking in on us to make sure everything was going well. Thank you and we’d love to stay again sometime in the future!

Reviewer Comments:
We had a great stay at this spacious and clean townhouse. The community is private and quiet. The beach was a 10 min walk. The unit itself was well stocked with all appliances and cookware necessary. Beach and pools were free access, but other amenities at Tops'l were additional fees. Any questions we had were quickly answered by the property manager through email.

Disappointing
We chose this rental because it offered privacy and spaciousness of a home with resort amenities. It seemed to have something special for each of us to enjoy; tennis and swimming for our tween boys; a fitness center for my husband, and a spa for me. It looked very family friendly with plenty to do if we wanted a break from the beach or if the weather was not permitting. Unfortunately, we were all really let down with our experience at Tops'l/Vacasa. Upon check-in, we were told that renters of this unit, who do not rent through Vacasa were not allowed access to any of the listed amenities. After multiple phone calls to ScenicStays, and then eventually the owner, we were told we could use the outdoor pools. It was not a family friendly environment either. It felt more like a retirement community with neighbors who were constantly annoyed with our presence. We kept to ourselves and tried not to bother anyone. The townhouse itself was sufficient and exactly as pictured, but would not rent again.
