376 Rue Caribe, Destin

From design to location, the listing at 376 Rue Caribe truly has it all.

Caribe, situated just west of the Sandestin Golf and Beach Resort, is a private, secure, gated community of about 120 home sites. Here, homeowners enjoy exclusive access to Caribe’s private beach, community pools, tennis courts and an address in one of the most prestigious communities bordering the Gulf of Mexico. 

In other words, life is good. And this particular listing, is a dream come true. 

Through the French doors of the second floor entrance, visitors can catch a glimpse of the emerald water that lies just beyond the infinity pool and white sand dunes. Potential buyers can enjoy direct beach access and draw from this breezy property’s cool open style and Caribbean vibe.  

A testament to the longevity of modern coastal living, last year, this 1994 home underwent a total renovation by the original architect, Tom Christ, nearly 20 years after its conception. Christ designed the property to be a perfect union between classic coastal and modern elegance. 

The dark wood accents of the doors contrast nicely with the cool blue shutters and white frame. Attention to detail was the key in the building and remodeling of this prize; no luxury was spared in the design and no functionality was compromised. 

Despite its modern finishes, this newly improved home retains its classic old-Florida charms. Situated in a quiet beachfront cul-de-sac among other vibrant homes, the functional hallmark of this five bedroom, five-and-a-half bath home is the separate downstairs bedroom which allows for a private guest quarters. 

“This house has every major component a Gulf-front buyer is looking for — view, Gulf access and architectural significance. The addition of the pool was just an added bonus,” beamed listing agent Cindy Cole of Fine Homes of Destin.

This sprawling house could comfortably accommodate a large family or even be used as a multi-family vacation home.
