About This Home
As of August 2025Combining enviable private beach access with exceptionally spacious accommodations, this five-bed beach home deserves a closer look. The paved driveway accommodates multiple vehicles and leads to a single-car garage and a deep front porch. The side entrance welcomes you into a tiled hallway. The new custom bunk room wows with its built-in bunks (full-over-full and twin-over-twin) and custom storage space. Two additional bedrooms include a king-sized bedroom with a bunk above. Both rooms have private baths with tub and shower combos, ensuring guests' comfort and privacy. Also, on this level, there's a thoughtful kitchenette/laundry room with a sink, microwave and beverage refrigerator, allowing guests to help themselves to drinks and snacks. On the second floor, gleaming wood flooring enhances the expansive great room and a feature fireplace. A vast island houses the icemaker and sink and provides bar seating for six. The massive granite countertop makes it easy to prepare quick and easy breakfasts to start the day around the family-size dining table. Beyond the sitting area, there's a generous balcony with a dining table. Fire up the grill and enjoy alfresco meals after working up an appetite at the nearby pool and beach. The second-floor master suite includes a king-sized bed and a private bathroom with a shower and twin vanity. There's also a half bath on this level. The top floor is a true owner's retreat with a massive bedroom that has ample space for a king-sized bed and a sitting area with TV. Should you wish to offer vacation rentals, there's a generous closet/dressing room and owner storage. The ensuite bathroom is equally generous with a tiled walk-in shower, deep soaker tub and two separate vanities. A hallway is outfitted with a kitchenette for preparing coffee and snacks. Beneath the granite counter, there's a refrigerator and a sink. Take your coffee out onto your private balcony and enjoy a peaceful start to each day in your own private nook. This gulf-front community is a dream vacation home destination boasting arguably the best private beach in Destin. Beyond the gated entrance, you'll find the area's famous Crab Trap restaurant, golf courses, outdoor shopping malls and Destin attractions. The beach house was recently updated with a new upstairs water heater, new bunk room and three new HVACs, all in 2023. The outdoor furniture, plantation shutters, a new refrigerator and smart TVs were added in 2024, making this home move-in ready with nothing to do but enjoy.
