Sometimes a beach getaway is really just that — a retreat from everyone and everything, a time of refreshment, relaxation and renewal. But, sometimes, a beach getaway is a more boisterous family affair — even extended family … or friends who are like family — requiring a different sort of getaway space.
Sure, you need enough beds for everyone to lay their heads, but you also need plenty of storage space for beach toys, room to unwind and take in a movie … and hey, a giant pool and a game room wouldn’t be bad either.
What we have for you here are solutions to the multifamily (or extended family) dream beach vacation.
Why it’s special: This grand home, just one off the gulf with direct gulf views, sits on a double-lot compound enclosed by masonry wall — truly a rare find in Rosemary Beach. With seven bedrooms, including three master suites, a total of 20 guests can vacation here comfortably. The third floor offers billiards, media room and bedroom options, serviced by an elevator. A private courtyard with pool completes the package.
Why it’s special: Situated on an estate-sized lot with top-of-the-line finishes, this Inlet Beach home just moments from Rosemary Beach and Scenic Highway 30A offers sleeping quarters on all three floors and an open living concept for true entertaining. Everything in this new build just finished in fall 2019 has been created with a clean streamlined design. Two laundry rooms, plenty of private balconies and pool area with summer kitchen will check all your vacation boxes.
Why it’s special: Designed in an impressive four-story vertical footprint, this Miramar Beach retreat offers both prominent gulf-front positioning and beautiful coastal contemporary architecture and aesthetics. A retreat on the home’s top floor offers a true “suite” experience, while a bunkroom on the first level is the stuff every child’s vacation dreams are made of. With easy access to the beach and a private gulf-front pool, this is a legacy property your family will return to year after year.
Why it’s special: Delight the entire family with this retreat that is both spacious and centrally-located to Destin’s shopping, dining, golf and entertainment. This eight-bedroom home with carriage house sits on a corner lot in Crystal Beach steps from beach access and has its own private pool, perfect for cooling off after a day on the sand. Recent updates throughout and gulf views add to this home’s appeal.
Why it’s special: This nine-bedroom, resort-style residence has been optimally designed for entertaining and would be an ideal second home or short-term rental with permanent occupancy granted for 33 people and more than $340,000 in projected gross annual rental revenue. The crown jewel of this remarkable property is its 50,000-gallon pool, complete with a sunken swim-up bar, adjoining spa, in-pool concrete picnic table and covered outdoor summer kitchen.
Why it’s special: Travel next door to the property listed just above and enjoy all of the same amenities the Park Row at Crystal Beach development has to offer. This home mirrors its neighbor and includes outdoor features such as sprawling covered porches and private sun deck overlooking the pool area — ample space to enjoy the Florida sunshine and afternoon sea breeze.
Why it’s special: Give each visiting guest their own private space with this 10-bedroom residence that includes several lock-outs and apartments, a pool and multiple game rooms. This never-rented, one-owner property would make an excellent bed and breakfast or rental since it has many separate accommodations, each with its own kitchen facilities.
Why it’s special: Situated on one of the largest residential home sites on Holiday Isle with 90 feet of deepwater harbor frontage, this beach home pairs expansive gulf views with exceptional proximity to the beach. A recent floor plan modification brought the total bedroom count to eleven. Notable features include a 14-seat in-home movie theater, sauna, game room and private pool with spacious outdoor decking and water feature.
