VERY few houses in Destin have such spectacular views!
Located directly to the south of "Good Day Sunshine", these homes are no more than a 100 steps to the beach walkover, with no streets to cross! So long to industrial noise or heavy traffic! This area of the beach is low density and only services Sandtrap Road. Take a short stroll to the east or west ON the beach to Sandestin and Surf Hut for a beverage or a burger, it's that easy!
