        <title>Gulf-front Ground Floor Condo at Hidden Dunes</title>
    <description> <![CDATA[ 
This three-bedroom beachfront villa encompasses over 2,000 square feet at 140 Grand Villas Drive 140 in the Hidden Dunes Beach and Tennis Resort.





It has a lot of &quot;Wow Factor,&quot; starting with its enviable highly sought after location. Hidden Dunes is aptly named since the exclusively gated entrance off Emerald Coast Parkway is embellished with tropical landscaping, which hides this paradise from view. The resort is nestled away in a wonderful world of its own - yet in the heart of everything Miramar Beach has to offer. It is a short distance to popular gulf front restaurants, friendly beach bars, grocery stores, and bargain shopping for world-class goods at the famed Silver Sands Premium Outlets.  Abundant amusements are nearby at the charming Village of Baytowne Wharf and Grand Boulevard in Sandestin featuring restaurants, lively bars, specialty shops, outdoor concerts and fun seasonal festivities.





The Hidden Dunes resort grounds sprawl across 27 lush acres all the way over to the gorgeous Gulf of Mexico with direct access to the privileged private beach. Paths meander past beautiful indigenous tropical plants, a lovely lake with a pier, and spurting fountains that are magically up lighted at night. There are four sparkling swimming pools along with simmering hot tubs for relaxation, and one of them is right beside this residential villa's own columned veranda. In no time at all, you may go from taking a freshwater pool plunge to luxuriating in the glowing jewel-toned waters of the Gulf. There are also six championship Rubico clay tennis courts, lighted basketball courts, a state-of-the-art fitness center, an amazing gulf front spa, expansive patio decks, and a poolside entertainment bar with an ice maker. This rental-restricted community also includes 24/7 private security, covered parking garages, and a community room for social events.





The second Wow Factor occurs when you walk into the open living area that features a wall of windows that provide stunning views of the gorgeous Gulf beside the sparkling pool that's adorned with tropical palms. Glass doors invite you to enjoy the beautiful views firsthand on the columned poolside veranda that provides your own private box seats to enjoy viewing the sensational seascape. An outdoor kitchen with a gas grill and convenient access to the beachside pool patio makes this residence one of the most desirable locations in Grand Villas. The panoramic gulf views are accentuated from within by the bright, tasteful space and a modern luxurious atmosphere created by this completely remodeled residence.





The spacious living and dining area with a contemporary gas fireplace opens to a new Gourmet Kitchen with high-end appliances, rich custom cabinetry, and quartz countertops.


 





The gulf front Master Bedroom includes a luxurious spa-like bath with raised double vanity sinks, a deep soaking tub, and a separate shower.





One Guest Bedroom also has an en suite luxury bath while another has access to a full hall powder room bath.





This amazing Gulf-front ground floor condo is listed at $1,495,000. There are two other Grand Villa properties for sale, including a 2,005 square foot three-bedroom priced at $1,284,000 and a 2,435 square foot four-bedroom residence priced at $1,475,000.

        <title>Windancer Condo under Contract in 1 Day </title>
    <description> <![CDATA[ 
In recent years the trend in real estate in Destin and all along the Emerald Coast of Northwest Florida has been to purchase vacation homes or condos not only for personal use but as an investment. There are good reasons for this since Destin is starting to become a household name nationwide. This popular acclaim is due to the white sand beaches, jewel-toned waters, exquisitely planned residential communities, resorts, championship golf courses, lifestyle amenities, gorgeous homes, and luxurious gulf front condominiums.


Proper short term residential rental property investments provide purchasers with savings in several different ways. 1. You may use them for your own family beach vacations instead of spending money elsewhere.


2. When you rent it out to vacationers at other times to garner income, it helps pay the mortgage, property taxes, insurance costs, association fees, and maintenance.


3. There are significant tax incentives and deductions available related to rental expenses that a professional CPA or real estate attorney can help you take advantage of.


4. Real Estate appreciates in value over time, especially in places like Destin that have become well-known desirable destinations.


It is no wonder then that Windancer 209, a one-bedroom gulf front vacation rental that Ocean Reef Resorts manages, went under contract in only one day





Windancer itself is aptly named since its location above the sugary shoreline overlooks the glistening gulf where the wind and sun seem to dance together across sparkling waters. This four-story building in the heart of marvelous Miramar Beach provides owners and guests with an exclusive sense of privileged residence compared to the density of high rise towers nearby. However, it has its own private beach in the same highly sought after location on Scenic Gulf Drive. One, two, and three-bedroom vacation residences are located at Windancer, and Ocean Reef Resorts professionally manages almost twenty of them as vacation rentals for their happy owners.





Windancer 209, like many other one-bedroom properties here, has hallway bunks and a queen-sized sleeper sofa, so it sleeps up to six beach-going guests. Beautiful beachside balconies provide a place to enjoy favorite drinks while enjoying the seascape and listening to the soothing surf. A lovely lagoon shaped heated swimming pool overlooks the gulf from its white sandy perch above the beautiful beach. The gross income for this unit thus far in 2019 stands at $38,000. If updated, the annual rental revenue numbers could be much higher.





Currently, there is only one other condo available at Windancer listed at $599,000, which has 1,612 square feet with three bedrooms and (like all others) comes fully furnished. It is value-priced at $371.59 per square foot since Windancer 203, a one-bedroom property with 806 square feet, closed earlier this month for $417,500 coming in at $517.99 per square foot.


 


If interested in participating in this potentially lucrative property investment trend, contact our Ocean Reef Real Estate Office today at 877-392-6085 to get started. We can set up tours for any properties available in all price ranges, locations, and styles while providing detailed information. Important gross rental data estimates can also be provided to help you. It’s available from our highly respected Ocean Reef Resorts sister division, which has been providing local professional property management services since 1982. We look forward to hearing from you soon

        <title>Buy Potential Majestic Sun Rental</title>
    <description> <![CDATA[ 
An established real estate sales trend is continuing to grow in Destin, Miramar Beach, and along Scenic 30A in South Walton due to aging Baby Boomers and others. A significant proportion of the population is thinking more about the value of family time and also making plans for retirement income. The Emerald Coast has become a much sought after well-known destination. The results of this “discovery” are not surprising since the crystalline sugar white beaches and glowing emerald green waters are found hardly anywhere else in the world. Those who have vacationed here over the years are starting to buy places of their own, and many rent them out for lucrative income as well. Property management companies like our sister division Ocean Reef Resorts make it easy to own. Owners use the properties for a few select weeks and rent them out at other times. The property equity continues to steadily escalate while income is paying “dividends” throughout the year.


One such opportunity is a popular vacation destination available at Majestic Sun 905A, a furnished two-bedroom vacation residence that encompasses 1,072 square feet. You have surely seen this architectural masterpiece that towers up across from the sugary shoreline at 1160 Scenic Gulf Drive in Miramar Beach. The Majestic Sun resembles a giant manmade sandcastle with a soaring arch that goes right through the building’s center.


Beneath this arch is an indoor acclimatized swimming pool with a dramatic cathedral ceiling and a wall of glass that faces the beachside pool. The large outdoor pool includes an expansive sun deck patio with bubbling hot tubs and provides panoramic views of the glittering jewel toned gulf. A glass-walled fitness center also looks out upon this sparkling scenery. It is within walking distance to restaurants on the Gulf, near shopping outlets and grocery stores. Abundant amusements like championship golf or tennis are near as the Majestic Sun is the flagship building on the lushly landscaped lagoon studded Seascape Resort.


This vacation residence has an open living area that’s open to a breezy balcony, which provides breathtaking direct gulf views along with the wide white ribbon of beach beside it and the pool below.


White tile flooring in the living area and cream-colored custom cabinetry in the open kitchen accentuate a spacious look, along with a triple set of sliding glass doors that frame the gorgeous gulf views. A silver-gray leather couch, a white café type dining table with four chairs and tropical silk plants provide a casual coastal feel.


Two bedroom properties of this one can sleep up to eight people with the added use of hall bunk beds, and a queen-sized sleeper sofa. The professional rental estimate for this property shows a strong Return on Investment (ROI) with a projected gross income of just under $40,000. This unit is priced “as is” for $430,000, coming in at $401.11 per square foot. Currently, there are four two-bedroom properties for sale at Majestic Sun priced from $430,000 to $499,900, averaging 429.80 per square foot.

        <title>Seaside Florida Penthouse for Sale</title>
    <description> <![CDATA[ 
A penthouse in Seaside, Florida? Yes, there is such a thing located in the heart of this iconic Americana styled coastal village, and it's now offered for sale  Seaside received international acclaim back in the 1980s when it introduced the “New Urbanism” design in town planning for easily accessible pedestrian living. The enchanting style resembles a “seaside” town built in the early 1900s. White picket fences, beach pavilions, gazebos and an amphitheater that features concerts provide golden charm. Restaurants, casual friendly beach bars, galleries, boutiques, musical performances, fun festivities, and seasonal events abound. If you’ve never visited, you might have seen Seaside when it was used as the idyllic fantasy town of “Seahaven” in Jim Carrey’s “The Truman Show” in 1998.


This luxurious four bedroom penthouse at 45 Central Square in Seaside encompasses over 2,800 square feet and overlooks the palm-studded amphitheater green, the glittering gulf and all of the action in the village. Your private elevator whisks you up to this regal residence that features bright, comfortable contemporary surroundings. This place comes wholly furnished with upscale designer décor that could be featured in the latest edition of Better Homes and Gardens or Coastal Living magazines.





The open modern Great Room features three walls of windows that overlook the incredible scenery. Light Travertine marble flooring flows throughout while a formal white tray ceiling above is painted in pale blue to resemble the sky. This spacious living area has three sets of plush latte colored couches that face the views and a TV for entertainment.





A white marble-topped oval table sits beneath a spherically shaped glass ball chandelier and includes fashionable clear mid-century modern vintage acrylic chairs for dining. A side portal leads to an alcove adjoining the kitchen with a window seat accommodating two white tripod tables for intimate meals, appetizers or drinks. Sliding glass doors access a covered open porch for a teak topped table with eight chairs for outdoor dining while viewing the gulf and village activities down below. You may “eat, drink and be merry” here among friends while listening to the concerts or enjoying a vibrant holiday fireworks display.





The Gourmet Kitchen is exceedingly upscale with Wolf and Subzero appliances, black marble countertops and rich mahogany wood custom cabinetry.





The expansive Master Suite has a soaring white beamed ceiling, a king-sized bed, and full-sized cream colored couch. One side of the bedroom has a dressing area and a large free standing soaking tub with a partition for partial use.





The separate private luxury bath features a wide glass-walled shower and double vanity sinks with raised black bowls and mahogany cabinetry. There are two well-appointed vintage mod styled Guest Bedrooms, and one features a king-sized bed, mahogany paneled clothing wall and an en-suite bath. Another spacious Guest Bedroom with two queen sized beds and a Bunk Room that sleeps six shares a full bath. This Seaside penthouse is priced at $2,295,000, averaging $818 per square foot. Currently, eleven other residences are for sale in Seaside ranging from $1,475,000 for a 2,633 square foot townhome up to $4,995,000 for a beachfront home with 2,952 square feet. The total average comes in at $1,131 price per square foot.If you are a potential buyer contact our Ocean Reef Real Estate office at 877-992-6085 for details and a professional consultation today
