Description

Located directly along Scenic Hwy 98 on a prominent corner lot, this exceptional three-story coastal retreat offers Gulf views from the second & third levels and is just 0.1 miles from the Shirah Beach Access, a leisurely 2-minute stroll to the sugar-white sands. Thoughtfully designed & impeccably maintained, the property presents a rare ''two-homes-in-one'' configuration ideal for personal enjoyment & high-performing short-term rental use. The 4-bedroom main residence is complemented by a separate 2-bedroom carriage house, with a heated pool & pool deck serving as the private focal point between the two structures. This flexible layout provides privacy & versatility well-suited for hosting guests, multi-generational living, or maximizing rental potential. The carriage house also features a kitchenette, a full bathroom, and a walk-in closet, offering comfortable & independent accommodations. The home is tastefully decorated & offered turnkey, featuring solid surface flooring throughout, multiple living areas, and balconies positioned to capture Gulf breezes & views. A golf cart is included, enhancing convenience for beach access & easy enjoyment of the surrounding coastal community. From an investment perspective, the property demonstrates outstanding performance, generating $225.1K in rental income in 2024, $235.4K in 2025, and already securing $129.2K in confirmed bookings for 2026. With its prime Scenic 98 location, Gulf views, flexible accommodations, and proven income history, this offering represents a compelling opportunity in one of Destin's most sought-after beach communities.
