Resort Style Living with the Comforts of Home


Anyone embarking on a luxury vacation has expectations. Amenities, appointments and atmosphere all must be impeccable. Those characteristics may be associated with grand hotels and resorts, but they also apply to the finest of homes. A palatial, four-story Destin beach house sold recently proves that point.
“This is a spectacular estate along Scenic Highway 98 that offers all the amenities and luxury comforts of a five-star resort,” said Beachy Beach 30A buyer’s agent Hillary Farnum.
The home indeed looks more like an exclusive inn than a family residence, with seven bedrooms, nine bathrooms, an outdoor pool and multiple balconies. It features abundant entertaining and sleeping space; bedrooms, bunk areas and lounging rooms are located throughout the home.
The dining room accommodates up to 24 guests and there is more seating outdoors. Dinner might give way to a twilight swim in the resort-style pool, complete with lighted fountains and a swim-up bar. The pool overlooks Destiny Lake and is right across the street from the Gulf of Mexico.
The outdoor kitchen and barbecue pit guarantee that guests need not go hungry even if they choose to spend an entire day outside. The house was built with summer in mind, but when the weather turns chilly, there is an outdoor fireplace and the pool is heated.
Other perks include an elevator, a pool table and a foosball table. This home is a vacationer’s delight offering something for everyone. It is close to restaurants, shops and the most popular sugar-sand beaches around, but on many days, people may feel no need to leave the property.
The estate was purchased as a second home by buyers who were looking for a good investment that they could share with family and friends. They surely found those qualifications in this seaside stunner.
