Captain’s Quarters — Elevated Coastal Living on Holiday Isle

Welcome to Captain’s Quarters, your private escape in Destin’s most coveted neighborhood—Holiday Isle. Tucked away on a quiet, upscale stretch between the harbor and the Gulf, this newly renovated coastal home is just one house back from the beach and offers private deeded access to your own quiet patch of sugar-white sand. No crowds, no chaos—just the beach, the breeze, and plenty of space to breathe.

This two-story luxury retreat features 6 bedrooms, 6 baths, and an airy layout designed for ease, comfort, and connection. Whether you're lounging on the oversized balcony with panoramic Gulf views, cooling off in the private pool, or stepping out to the beach in seconds, everything about this home is built for unfussy indulgence.

Inside, the open living space flows seamlessly from a gourmet kitchen with top-of-the-line appliances to a cozy, beach-facing dining area and living room with oversized sofas and a 70” smart TV. It’s the kind of place where the wine is always open, the fridge is always full, and time seems to slow down.

Downstairs, the custom-designed 1,100 sq ft game room brings the fun—think LED lighting, a retro arcade setup, pool and ping pong tables, and a bar-style seating area. It’s perfect for unwinding after a sun-soaked day with kids, cocktails, or both.
