After a morning swim in your heated, saltwater pool, stroll down to your dock for a serene, Bayou paddle board ride. Hop in your boat for a fun afternoon tubing w/the kids & relaxing at Crab Island, and grab dinner on the water before heading back to your private oasis. Finish the day w/a nightcap around your fire pit while the kids enjoy a movie night & sleepover w/friends in the NEW guest house w/living area, kitchenette, full bathroom & fun, lofted sleeping area. Taking center stage, you'll fall in love w/the gorgeous new kitchen w/giant island, quartz counters, floating shelves & SS appliances which flows effortlessly into the Great room. An angled, shiplapped, double sided, gas fireplace connects the Great rm with a separate, large Dining or Office area. The High, beamed ceiling, crisp white walls, custom light fixtures & beautiful, natural color wide plank LVP flooring throughout, complete the Coastal Chic feel. Enjoy calming pool views & easy access to the heated spa from the spacious master BR w/tray ceiling. Relax & unwind in the newly remodeled master bathroom w/his & her sinks and large, custom walk-in shower & walk-in closet. Offering a split floor plan w/2 BRs & bathroom located away from the master, and the spacious 4th BR w/en suite bathroom located in its own separate wing, there's plenty of room for everyone to have their private space.

Offering a spacious covered patio, large, saltwater, heated pool & spa, outdoor kitchen, fire pit area, tree house and huge grassy yard, the fully fenced backyard is truly your own private oasis! A Bayou front patio w/small white sand beach, dock & boat lift complete this ideal waterfront lifestyle picture. Need to store your RV or additional boat? No problem as the gravel pad on the right side of the house w/permeable pavers under it provides an easy, private storage area and there's NO HOA.

    "I don’t live in Destin, I live in Baker, FL. I think dog owners would, give or take, like my neighborhood. It’s a farm neighborhood, but it depends on what dog they have. If they have acreage and a working dog, they’ll love it. If they have a lab or something like that, they might get run over"

    "It takes 30 minutes during the summer to get to my job and i live 5 minutes away. There should be a light in front of my current apartment complex but there isn’t, since there isn’t theres an accident there at least 2 times a month. Also there used to be a side street that residents could use to be able to bypass 98 but someone bought the property its on and has done NOTHING with the property but has COMPLETELY blocked off the road.
