Holiday Isle is a prestigious, highly sought after world of its own that's popular with owners, their guests, and vacation rental visitors.

The bustling harbor borders Holiday Isle on the north side while the dazzling jewel-toned Gulf provides an expansive beach along its southern shore. The only opening that connects Choctawhatchee Bay to the open Gulf serves as its western boundary, so fishing vessels, sailboats, and big yachts from the Destin Marina are often seen going back and forth. It is minutes away from HarborWalk Village, which is located there. This captivating Americana styled center of Destin features a wide array of dockside restaurants, lively bars, specialty shops, outdoor concerts, family amusements, fun festivals, and seasonal firework displays over the water.





This five-bedroom Holiday Isle home for sale has almost 1,900 square feet. It has been recently renovated to include new doors and windows throughout. It has also received a fresh coat of paint.

The first floor has its own bedroom with a full bath and a separate entrance. There are also two individual garages on this level.





The three-sided wraparound sun deck has plenty of room for lots of outdoor furnishings. It overlooks the virtual forest of palm trees in the tropical setting below, the distant Gulf, and the adjoining waterfront dock.

The living area has double glass doors on each side of the room, opening out to the open sun deck, which provides excellent flow for entertaining. Maintenance-free hardwood tile flooring throughout this area has a perfect beach washed look. There's lots of recessed lighting as, and a wall-mounted Flatscreen TV in the corner.





The large open kitchen has a gleaming white counter bar for extra seating, custom cabinetry, a cream-colored side by side refrigerator/freezer, a matching glass-topped range oven, and a brushed stainless steel dishwasher. Nautically colored splash tile above the stove up to the suspended vent fan provides a striking accent.

The listing agent Justin Knowles says, “this home is characterized by its thoughtful construction and detailed design.” Besides being a showcase vacation home, this place can be rented out - with projections coming in at over $53,000 per year.





The Preserve at Grayton Beach community features golden Old Florida inspired architecture with classic metal roofs, gracious verandas, and lovely natural plants that provide an enchanting setting.





A boardwalk across from the preserve leads through a patch of forest and heads down over the sugary dunes to the shimmering shoreline. This beach is particularly lovely since it is sandwiched in between Little Redfish and Big Redfish Lake. These precious coastal dune lakes are found hardly anywhere else on the planet and are real treasures. They feature an exotic mixture of salted artisan freshwater, which harbors abundant fish and wildlife.

A paver drive leads up to the connected garage beside this gracious home that has a columned entry veranda with room for a porch swing or a couple of rocking chairs. Double glass French doors enter the foyer that leads into the open living, dining, and kitchen areas.





White shiplap interior walls, lots of windows, and a milk chocolate-colored hardwood flooring provide a bright, rich look. Two glass French doors lead out to a stately columned veranda outback that spans its width and looks put upon a partially wooded area.





The state of the art kitchen features a white quartz-topped kitchen island with a sink, top of the line brushed stainless steel Thermador appliances, and white custom cabinetry.





A big Laundry Room with white cabinetry, counter space, a deep sink, and window is conveniently located off the main foyer at the bottom of the stairs near the Master Bedroom Suite.





The staircase leads to an open landing off one of the Guest Bedrooms near the hallway bath that could serve as a sitting area or office.





The hall leads to the other two Guest Bedrooms which include ensuite bathrooms with a tub shower combo in one and a walk-in shower in the other.





This 2,586 square foot home is listed for sale at $899,000, which comes in at $347.64 per square foot. Nine homes have sold here within the past twelve months ranging from $665,000 to $1,289,000.
