Some beach resorts are built entirely around crowds and constant activity. TOPS’L manages to offer the opposite while still keeping you directly on the Gulf.
Located on 52 private acres in Miramar Beach beside Topsail Hill Preserve State Park, TOPS’L Beach & Racquet Resort combines beachfront access, resort amenities, and spacious condo-style accommodations in one of the quieter sections of Florida’s Emerald Coast. The atmosphere here feels more relaxed than many Destin-area resorts, with nature trails, tennis courts, and wide stretches of beach replacing the nonstop pace found elsewhere.
Good Life Vacations offers handpicked condo and villa rentals throughout TOPS’L Resort, helping guests find the right fit whether they’re planning a beach vacation, tennis getaway, family trip, or extended Gulf Coast stay.
TOPS’L is large enough to offer extensive amenities while still maintaining a quieter atmosphere than many beachfront resorts in the Destin area.
The resort sits directly along a beautiful stretch of white-sand Gulf shoreline with private beach access reserved for guests. Some buildings are beachfront, while others are tucked slightly farther back within the resort grounds.
Several swimming pools are spread throughout the property, including resort-style outdoor pools, hot tubs, and an indoor/outdoor pool option. Beach chair and umbrella rentals are available seasonally.
TOPS’L is especially well known for its tennis facilities. The resort includes 12 clay tennis courts, professional instruction, and one of the stronger racquet sports setups along the Emerald Coast.
Guests also have access to a large fitness center with cardio equipment, weight training areas, sauna and steam rooms, yoga classes, and recreational facilities.
TOPS’L includes casual dining and poolside food options within the resort. Guests can grab drinks and lunch near the beach or enjoy relaxed dinners without needing to leave the property.
Nature trails, basketball courts, mini golf, racquetball, and nearby paddleboarding opportunities help give the resort a more active, outdoors-focused atmosphere than a standard beach condo complex.

TOPS’L sits between Destin and Scenic Highway 30A, giving guests easy access to beaches, restaurants, golf courses, shopping, and outdoor recreation.
The resort’s biggest attraction is the beach itself with wide white sand, clear Gulf water, and a quieter atmosphere compared to some of Destin’s busier public beach areas.
Shopping, restaurants, wine bars, boutiques, and entertainment are all nearby at Grand Boulevard.
One of the region’s most popular shopping destinations with outlet stores covering everything from clothing and footwear to home goods.
Charter fishing, dolphin cruises, waterfront restaurants, nightlife, and harbor activities make the boardwalk a popular evening outing.
Located directly beside the resort, this protected coastal preserve offers hiking trails, dune lakes, wildlife viewing, and quieter natural beach areas.
Golfers staying at TOPS’L have easy access to Sandestin Golf and Beach Resort courses, Raven Golf Club, Burnt Pine Golf Club, and several additional championship courses along the Emerald Coast.
Miramar Beach and nearby 30A offer a strong mix of seafood restaurants, casual beach bars, upscale dining, brunch spots, and family-friendly options.
Most guests drive to TOPS’L, though once you’re checked in, much of the surrounding area is easily accessible by rideshare, bike rentals, or short drives.
