    What's special

    Welcome to an exceptional beachside retreat in the heart of Destin, where coastal luxury meets effortless income potential. Perfectly positioned with 61 feet of lake frontage and sweeping Gulf views, this remarkable residence is just steps from the sugar-white sands of the Gulf of Mexico and a short stroll to a sprawling beach access. The first level is designed for recreation and seamless indoor-outdoor living, featuring a spacious game room complete with a pool table, arcade games, and a convenient kitchenette with full-size refrigerator and ice maker. Multiple guest suites and bunk accommodations offer flexibility for large groups, while direct access leads to a true backyard oasis. The outdoor space lives like a private resort, highlighted by a beautifully designed pool with Baja shelf and spa, expansive sundeck, and tranquil lake views. A covered outdoor living area with a full kitchen, grill, beverage cooler, fireplace, and mounted TV creates the perfect setting for entertaining or unwinding after a day at the beach. A thoughtful feature includes an elevator servicing all three levels. The second level serves as the heart of the home, where an open-concept layout seamlessly connects the kitchen, dining, and living areas. A chef's kitchen anchored by an oversized island and premium appliances flows into a grand dining space accented with vaulted Pecky cypress ceilings and designer lighting, ideal for hosting large gatherings. The living room is filled with natural light and opens to a spacious balcony overlooking the pool and lake with direct access to the pool deck, adding convenience and extending the living space outdoors. Additional guest suites on this level provide comfort and privacy, with select rooms offering private balcony access. The third level offers a more private retreat with an additional living area and multiple well-appointed king suites, each with en suite baths. Select bedrooms feature soaking tubs and private balconies capturing glimpses of the Gulf, while additional bunk accommodations ensure ample space for guests. At the top, a rooftop viewing deck provides a breathtaking vantage point, where sunsets over the Gulf create an unforgettable daily experience. Offered fully furnished and turnkey, this expansive residence comfortably accommodates up to 28 guests and is ideally suited as both a legacy second home and a high-performing short-term rental. This is a rare opportunity to own a property that truly captures the essence of Destin living, blending scale, luxury, and an unbeatable location into one extraordinary offering.
