About this property

House in Gated Dunes of Destin, Steps to Beach

Our Destiny is Professionally Managed by Newman-Dailey Resort Properties

Welcome to the perfect beach retreat—an inviting 4-bedroom, 4-bathroom coastal home just steps from sugar-white sand in the coveted Dunes of Destin gated neighborhood. Located mere seconds from the community’s private beach access, this comfortable and beautifully maintained home offers the ideal blend of relaxation, convenience, and upscale coastal living.

Every bedroom features its own private bathroom, ensuring comfort and privacy for all guests. The custom built-in bunks on the lower level create a fun and functional space, ideal for families or groups. The light-filled main living area on the second floor is designed for gathering, with an open layout perfect for dining, entertaining, and unwinding after a day in the sun. All beds throughout the home are brand new, adding to the clean, fresh, and welcoming atmosphere.

Step outside to your own private pool, which can be heated seasonally for an additional fee. The spacious pool deck is furnished with comfortable outdoor seating and includes a grill for alfresco cooking, making it the perfect setting for sunny afternoons or relaxing evenings under the stars.

The property offers ample parking for up to six vehicles, including an oversized garage with two extra refrigerators—perfect for stocking up for beach days—and plenty of room for coolers, toys, and all your adventure gear.

The walk to the beach is only seconds, making it easy to enjoy the expansive private beach at any time of day. When you're not on the sand or at your private pool, enjoy access to the community pool as well. The home’s prime location places you minutes from the Destin Harbor, Big Kahuna’s Water Park, Destin Commons, world-class golf, shopping, and excellent dining.

Whether you're seeking a serene family escape or a standout vacation rental, this Dunes of Destin beach house offers spacious comfort, unbeatable proximity, and a true luxury coastal experience.
