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.
