First impressions matter. And when I walked into 3149 Scenic Highway 98 for the first time it immediately felt like a home made for family and for making memories. The floor plan is perfect for multiple families to share the home and still feel like they each have their own space. The bedrooms are spread out across all three floors, and all three levels have their own common area/living room. So, when multiple families share the home they don't feel like they're stacked on top of one another. The first floor kitchenette being located next to the pool area is also a great detail of the floor plan. I have young children, so I know the value of having cold drinks and snacks on hand by the pool when the Summer sun starts to get hot. This home's outdoor space really blew me away when I first walked outside. The covered porch is massive and provides a large shaded space to retreat from the sun while still enjoying the outdoors. The pool (30'x15') was larger than I expected, and the back gate by the pool makes walking to the beach easy. The Barracuda Street beach access is across from the house, and it has a crosswalk making it safe and easy for parents to take their kids to the beach. When you return, the outdoor shower makes it easy to rinse off the sand before coming inside. After a decade of selling real estate on the Emerald Coast I've learned that most buyers and renters share these three priorities when looking for a beach home: quick and easy beach access, nearby dining & entertainment options, and a private heated pool. The heated pool is a key because Northwest Florida experiences cold snaps in the Fall and Winter months, so many vacation renters filter their online searches for homes with a heated pool, and if you don't have one then you may not show up in a would-be renter's search. It's also important if you plan on staying at the home and want to be able to use your pool year-round. 3149 Scenic Highway 98 checks every one of these boxes. It's one row back from the beach, and it has a 30'x15' private & heated pool surrounded by a covered patio. It's located one mile by car or LSV (street-legal golf cart) from the Destin Commons shopping & dining complex as well as the award-winning public golf course at Regatta Bay. All of the places below are accessible from the home by LSV: Barracuda Street Beach Access.........................1-min walk Camille's (seafood, sushi, brunch).....................0.4mi The Henderson Rooftop Bar..............................0.8mi Whole Foods......................................................0.8mi Destin Commons (shopping, dining, movies)......0.9mi Uncle Buck's Fish Bowl (bowling/arcade)...........0.9mi Jackacuda's (seafood & sushi).........................1.1mi Regatta Bay Golf Course.................................1.7mi This home is located in Crystal Beach, one of the premier vacation rental locations in all of Destin and Miramar Beach, it's the area of town my investment-savvy clients typically gravitate towards. There's three main benefits to being in Crystal Beach: 1) no HOA fees 2) ample public beach accesses. Most streets have a dedicated access which helps spread the crowds out and leads to a less crowded beach experience. 3) Proximity to the Destin Commons, which is the main shopping, dining, and entertainment hub in Destin. It's also in close proximity to many of the best restaurants in town. This is important both for personal enjoyment and it also matters a great deal to renters. So, if you plan on renting the property, then this area of town is ideal for that. Floor plan First Floor Upon entering the home there's a good sized landing space. To the right of the front door is the staircase leading to the upper levels.To the left is the entrance to the first floor living quarters complete with a kitchenette, living room, dining area, and two bedroom suites that share a full bathroom. This area also leads out to the pool area which includes the large covered patio, 30'x15' pool, grilling area, outdoor shower, and a walkover to the back gate that leads to the nearby beach access. Second Floor At the top of the stairs is a hallway. Straight ahead in the hall is a walk-in laundry room as well as an extra full-bathroom that serves as the guest bath for the living room. The hallway is a "T" shape, and going to the left leads to the second-floor master suite which features a king-sized bed and a walk-in closet. The ensuite master bathroom has a walk-in shower, garden tub, and dual vanities. To the right is the large main living room which features an open floor plan incorporating the kitchen and dining area into the flow of the space. It has doors leading out to a 25'x10' balcony that overlooks the pool and gets great sunset views. The balcony has a set of outdoor stairs leading to the pool area, so it's easy to bring food from the kitchen to the poolside. This also allows the guests in the upstairs bedrooms to access the pool without having to go through the downstairs living quarters. Third Floor The final floor starts with a sizable living room/common area. To the left are two guest bedroom suites with a shared full bathroom. To the right is another master bedroom suite, and it's laid out similarly to the one on the second floor. It has a large bathroom with a garden tub, walk-in shower, and a walk-in closet.

What strikes me about 64 Dolphin Street is how well cared for it is. I walk a lot of rental properties, and I rarely find one so well-maintained. The owners come down regularly to check on the property and they do the little things: caulk, pressure washing, HVAC maintenance, etc. In a market where most people are second home owners it's not common to see this level of care. The air near the beach is damper and saltier than many are used to, and most owners don't realize the toll it takes on a home when not properly cared for. 64 Dolphin Street has been taken care of in a way that will help it stand the test of time. It also has a fantastic floorplan and a great outdoor space with a 20'x10' heated pool along with nearly 1,500sqft of additional covered space not counted in the square footage 64 Dolphin Street is a superb location for a beach home or vacation rental property. One reason why is the subdivision it's located in, Crystal Beach, which has no HOA or HOA fees. Additionally, there's three priorities most buyers and vacation renters have when looking for a beach home: quick and easy beach access, nearby dining & entertainment options, and a private, heated pool. The heated pool is a key because Northwest Florida experiences cold snaps in the Fall and Winter months, so many vacation renters filter their online searches for homes with a heated pool, and if you don't have one then you may not show up in many would-be renters' searches. It's also important if you plan on staying at the home and want to be able to use your pool year-round. 64 Dolphin Street checks every one of these boxes. It's three homes back from a brand new beach access, and it has a 20'x10' private & heated pool surrounded by a covered patio. It's located one mile by car or LSV (street-legal golf cart) from the Destin Commons shopping & dining complex as well as the award-winning public golf course at Regatta Bay. All of the places below are accessible from the home by LSV: Dolphin St. Beach Access...................2-min walk Camille's (brunch, seafood & sushi)......0.7mi Destin Commons..............................1.1mi Whole Foods...................................1.1mi Regatta Bay Golf Course...................1.3mi Floor plan: First floor Upon entering the home you're greeted by a large foyer. Down the hall from the foyer are two bedroom suites. The first is a bunkroom with a full bath in the hallway that is outfitted with a tub/shower combo. The other suite is considered a junior master suite with its king sized bed and ensuite full bathroom that also doubles as the pool bath. The first floor has its own living room with a wet bar that includes a full-sized stainless steel refrigerator, as well as a set of doors that lead out to the covered patio by the pool. There's also a sizable walk-in laundry room on the first floor. Second floor The second floor hosts the main living area and connects to the 20'x8' upstairs covered balcony. This level has an open floor plan, so the living room, kitchen, and dining area all flow well together. Each space feels large and well defined while still connecting to the others. The kitchen has granite counters, stainless steel appliances, a natural gas range, and plenty of cabinet space and storage. There is a half bath off the living room for guest use without having to go through a bedroom. The second level also hosts the master suite; it's spacious enough to accommodate the king-sized bed, two night stands, and a dresser without feeling cramped. The ensuite master bathroom has dual vanities, a jacuzzi-style bathtub, and a walk-in shower. It also has a sizable walk-in closet with floor-to-ceiling built-in shelving. Outdoors: Outside, there's a 30'x15' covered patio on the ground level. It has an outdoor television and a wood burning fireplace along with ample seating. There's also a 20'x10' private, heated pool as the centerpiece of the outdoor living space. In addition, there's a carriage house with a garage and a full guest suite above. Some similar homes in the area have converted the garage into another guest suite to increase the bed/bath count and available sleeping space or converted it into a media room/game room. Carriage house The carriage house has its own kitchenette along with two queen-sized beds. It also has a full bathroom with a tub/shower combo. The carriage house has its own mini split AC unit that was replaced in 2024.
