The Estate

A private resort,
disguised as a house

A few blocks from the whitest sand in Florida, inside the gates of Destiny East, this three-story lakefront estate is built for the vacations where everyone finally makes it: grandparents, cousins, teenagers, toddlers, and the uncle who loves running the balcony grill.

Nearly 4,700 square feet means the whole family can spread out and still be together. A private elevator serves all three floors - an easy, comfortable ride for grandparents, little ones, and luggage alike. Two full kitchens let two households cook at once. And when the sun drops behind the lake, the whole crew ends up in the same place - around the fire pit, at the water's edge.

The Beach

The whitest sand in Florida, a few blocks from the door

This is why you come to Destin: sugar-white quartz sand and water so clear and green they named the whole coast after it. Public beach access at the Crab Trap is just a few blocks away - an easy walk, and an even easier bike ride. It's close enough that from the balcony, you can spot the Gulf horizon in the palm gap across the lake.

  • Crab Trap beach access a few blocks away
  • Henderson Beach State Park just down the road
  • Snorkel the Dolphin Reef off Miramar Beach
  • Emerald-green Gulf water, sugar-white sand

Zoomed in from the balcony: that band of blue past the palms is the Gulf itself - with the beach right below it, a few blocks from your door.
Private pool and heated spa beside the lake

The Water at Home

Pool, spa, lake - in that order

The freeform pool sits right at the water's edge, flanked by a heated spa. Optional pool heating keeps swim season going all year. Loungers for the sun-chasers, a covered patio for the shade-seekers, and lake views for everyone.

  • Private pool with optional heating
  • Heated spa at the lake's edge
  • Fire pit and balcony lounge with 2 TVs
  • Sunsets over the water, nightly and free
Racing simulators in the game room

The Fun

The game room your kids will tell everyone about

Racing simulators with a sunset view, plus a PS5 for tournament night. The garage is its own arcade: a large chess set in the first bay, a ping pong table, an electronic dart board, and a giant Connect Four. Add three cabinets full of board games, nine TVs, and six bikes for cruising the neighborhood - there's something fun waiting at every hour of the day.

  • Racing simulators + PS5 - the teenagers' new favorite place
  • Garage arcade: large chess set, ping pong, electronic darts, giant Connect Four
  • Three cabinets full of board games
  • Nine TVs and six bikes
Main kitchen with granite counters and gas range

The Kitchens

Two kitchens. Twice the pancakes.

The main kitchen anchors the second floor with granite counters and an open flow made for pancake productions and long coffee conversations. Downstairs, a second full kitchen gives the first-floor wing its own rhythm - and the grill on the second-floor balcony handles burger duty with a lake view.

  • Two full kitchens, one per living floor
  • Grill on the second-floor balcony
  • Granite countertops
  • Dining for the whole crew

Sleeping Arrangements

Seven bedrooms. Fourteen sleepy people.

A real bed for every single guest, across three floors - arranged so every generation gets privacy and everyone wakes up ready for the beach.
