Property Description

Set within the gated Regatta Bay community in Destin, Florida, this residence is designed around the way life is lived here: with a private pool, outdoor kitchen, first-floor primary retreat, generous guest accommodations and multiple spaces for gathering. Regatta Bay brings golf, boating, dining, shopping and time outdoors into the rhythm of everyday life, with Destin Commons, Whole Foods and nearby restaurants just beyond the gates, and the Regatta Bay Golf & Yacht Club, marina and community recreation close at hand. The community's familiar refrain still captures the appeal: ''Live, Shop, Dine, Play. Never Leave Regatta Bay.'' A clay tile roof gives the home a timeless coastal presence, while inside, paneled walls at the entry introduce an interior defined by craftsmanship and scale. Tall ceilings, hardwood floors and custom tile continue throughout, creating a sense of warmth and permanence without feeling overly formal. In the main living room, exposed ceiling beams add architectural dimension while a gas fireplace creates a natural gathering point at the center of the home. The kitchen carries that same balance of form and function. A gas range, illuminated glass-front cabinetry and custom tile backsplash bring character to the space, while a butler's pantry provides valuable storage and preparation space away from the main kitchen. Near the dining area, a dedicated wet bar with refrigerator and ice maker keeps entertaining effortless and allows drinks and conversation to flow without interrupting the kitchen. The first-floor primary suite is intentionally removed from the secondary bedrooms, giving it the privacy and quiet of a true retreat. A generous closet with built-in dressers reinforces the feeling of a suite designed for long-term living rather than simply an oversized bedroom. Custom tile continues into the baths, including a distinctive powder room near the entry, while a dedicated laundry room with sink adds another layer of practical ease. Upstairs, the home shifts naturally into a private guest and family level. A second living room creates another place to gather, relax or spread out, while an additional wet bar with refrigerator and sink allows the space to function independently from the main level. Three bedroom suites are located upstairs, each with its own full bath, along with a separate half bath serving the shared living space. Balconies off the upstairs bedrooms extend the experience outdoors and provide quiet places to enjoy the Regatta Bay setting. Outside, the heated private pool becomes the natural center of life at home. A built-in barbecue grill, sink and refrigerator create a true outdoor entertaining space where afternoons by the pool can move easily into dinner and evenings outside. Whether the house is quiet or filled with guests, the outdoor environment feels like an extension of the interiors rather than a separate amenity. That sense of ease is what makes Regatta Bay particularly distinctive within Destin. The community was designed around the idea that much of the lifestyle people come to Northwest Florida to enjoy can happen close to home. Golf, boating, clubhouse dining and recreation are part of the Regatta Bay experience, while the marina connects life in the community to the waters of Choctawhatchee Bay. Destin Commons, restaurants, shopping and everyday conveniences are immediately nearby, and the Gulf of Mexico and the beaches of Destin remain within easy reach. It is a place where a day can begin with a round of golf, move to the marina or an afternoon on the water, continue with dinner or shopping at Destin Commons and end back home beside your own pool. The long-standing Regatta Bay philosophy, "Live, Shop, Dine, Play. Never Leave Regatta Bay," still captures what makes the community compelling: not isolation from Destin, but exceptional access to so much of what defines it. For buyers searching for a luxury home in Regatta Bay, a gated Destin residence with a private pool and outdoor kitchen, or a home with a first-floor primary suite and separate ensuite guest accommodations, this property brings those elements together in a way that feels both refined and livable. Its architectural details, multiple entertaining spaces, three-car garage and thoughtful separation between private and gathering areas create a home designed for everyday living, entertaining and extended stays, while its setting in Regatta Bay places golf, boating, dining, shopping and the broader Destin lifestyle just beyond the front door.
