Tucked within a lush, gated community just south of Highway 98, this stunning Mediterranean-style home offers a serene retreat in one of Destin’s most desirable locations. As you enter the exclusive Dunes of Destin neighborhood, a picturesque drive winds past a sparkling lagoon and two illuminated fountains, setting the tone for a truly special stay. From the moment you arrive, it’s clear this is no ordinary beach vacation. This spacious three-story home is designed for relaxation and unforgettable gatherings, offering four bedrooms and multiple living areas to comfortably accommodate up to 12 guests. Overlooking the tranquil lagoon, a large waterfront deck spans the entire back of the home—perfect for morning coffee, sunset cocktails, or simply soaking in the serene coastal ambiance. The sugar-white sands of the private beach are just a short stroll away, along with a beautiful community pool complete with a waterfront patio and convenient bathhouse. Inside, the home is thoughtfully laid out for both privacy and connection. With guest quarters and living areas spread across all three levels, it’s ideal for families or groups traveling together. On the first floor, a welcoming den features a wraparound sectional, a wet bar, a large smart TV, and access to the patio. Nearby, the cheerful bunk room—styled in nautical blues and crisp whites—sleeps up to seven and is served by a full hall bath with a walk-in shower. The second level is the heart of the home, featuring a dramatic Great Room with a soaring cathedral ceiling and open loft views from above. The living area includes plush, dove-gray seating and elegant blue accent chairs facing a large flatscreen TV above a decorative fireplace. A columned entryway leads to the formal dining space, where a sleek hardwood table seats eight beneath a striking crystal light fixture. The adjacent chef’s kitchen includes top-of-the-line stainless steel appliances, marble countertops, and a breakfast bar with seating for four. Also on this floor, the luxurious primary suite offers a king bed, a large TV, and a spa-inspired ensuite bathroom adorned with black and white marble, an ebony granite double vanity, soaking tub, and walk-in glass shower. A convenient powder room is also located off the living space. Upstairs, two additional guest bedrooms flank a cozy loft lounge with another wet bar. One bedroom features a queen bed, private balcony access, and an elegant ensuite bath. The other includes two queen beds and its own ensuite, comfortably sleeping four. Home Layout Overview: First Floor: Den with wet bar and patio access, bunk room with two queen/full bunks and one twin, full hall bath with walk-in shower, laundry area, garage.

HarborWalk Village is a quick drive away and filled with lively attractions: waterfront dining, live music, family-friendly events, fireworks, boat rentals, dolphin cruises, and unforgettable sunset dinner sails.
