Property Description
Tucked behind the gates of Regatta Bay, this custom Destin retreat was designed for the buyer who wants luxury without compromise. A home that feels elevated, private, and built for the way people actually want to live on the Emerald Coast. From the moment you enter, the home delivers a warm, refined atmosphere with soaring ceilings, rich architectural detail, natural light throughout, and seamless indoor-outdoor flow. The open-concept design was made for entertaining, whether hosting friends around the chef's kitchen, opening the living space to the resort-style pool area, or enjoying quiet evenings after a day on the water or golf course. The kitchen anchors the home with premium finishes, custom cabinetry, quartz countertops, high-end appliances, and an oversized island that naturally becomes the center of the home. The main living areas feel both sophisticated and comfortable, blending luxury finishes with an inviting coastal warmth that is difficult to find in newer construction today. The primary suite offers a true private retreat with spa-inspired finishes, generous space, and direct access to the outdoor living area. Additional guest suites provide flexibility for family, entertaining, or working remotely while maintaining privacy throughout the layout. Outside, the backyard was designed to feel like a private resort. The pool, covered outdoor living space, and lush tropical surroundings create an atmosphere that feels worlds away while still being minutes from Destin's beaches, boating, dining, shopping, and entertainment. Located inside one of Destin's premier gated golf communities, Regatta Bay offers a lifestyle centered around convenience, luxury, and recreation with golf, tennis, walking trails, and close proximity to the marina and Gulf waters. This is more than just a beautiful home. It's a rare opportunity to own a refined coastal retreat in one of Destin's most desirable communities.
