Gated Luxury • Designer Finishes • Walk to the Gulf. Welcome to your dream retreat in prestigious Destiny East—Destin's premier gated beachside community, where lush tropical landscaping, world-class amenities, and unbeatable walkability create the ultimate coastal lifestyle. And with local lender financing available for just 10% down at a great rate, luxury beach living has never been more accessible.

The living room boasts a gas fireplace, built-in cabinetry, and flows seamlessly into a screened lanai ideal for relaxing after beach days or entertaining guests. The backyard is gorgeously layered and has plenty of room for a private pool.

Enjoy peace of mind with a whole-house Generac generator, a 2-year-old HVAC system and water heater, remediated attic, and new insulation (2023). Both bathrooms offer luxurious whirlpool jetted tubs, and the interior and exterior have been tastefully updated, including fresh exterior paint in 2024.

But the real magic? It's all outside your door. Club Destiny features a heated resort-style pool with waterfall, tennis & pickleball courts, basketball, hot tub, playground, and even a private movie theater. You'll also have access to a second pool along Four Prong Lake on your way to the beach. Walk to Tuscany Italian Bistro, or enjoy seafood at The Crab Trap or Captain Dave's - all just minutes away from your front door.
Location, luxury, and lifestyle - this is beach living at its finest.
Schedule your private showing today and ask how to secure this home with only 10% down!

This meticulously maintained home has never been used as a rental and has been lovingly cared for by its owners, reflecting true pride of ownership throughout. While it has been a private retreat, the property offers outstanding potential as a short-term rental, with strong income projections thanks to its prime location, luxurious amenities, and close proximity to the sugar-white beaches of the Emerald Coast.
