Tropic Like it's Hot is a stunning eight-bedroom gulf-front home in Destin, Florida right on Scenic Hwy 98. This just-remodeled vacation home is the ideal place to spend your next trip to Destin. From private beach access, private pool, and spectacular gulf views to a chic modern interior, Tropic Like it's Hot is the ultimate vacation home.
Upon entering this beautiful home, you'll walk into a stunning foyer that leads into a dining room, bar area, and kitchen. The bar features an ice maker and full-size fridge. The dining room features a large, unique, 120-inch dining table that seats up to ten people, which makes this home great for family gatherings. The kitchen is located adjacent to the dining room and features white quartz countertops, a huge kitchen island with a breakfast bar that seats eight, and a gorgeous backsplash. In addition, the kitchen has state-of-the-art appliances including a 48-inch gas range, double oven, stainless steel farmhouse sink, and a 26-inch fridge and freezer. Altogether, this kitchen is a chef's dream come true.
The kitchen leads into the spacious double living room that looks out to the Gulf of Mexico. This spacious living area features two different sitting spaces between the large sectional, love seat, and stylish blue chairs. In addition, the main living area also boasts panoramic views of the gulf, mirrored cabinets, and a 65 inch flat-screen TV. It also leads out to the back deck where you'll find the private pool overlooking the Gulf, plenty of outdoor seating, and steps that lead down to a private beach.
In addition, this stunning property features eight bedrooms and sleeps up to twenty guests comfortably. The first two bedrooms in the home are located on the first floor and both feature king beds, flat-screen TVs, and ensuite bathrooms. The first bedroom's ensuite includes a dual sink vanity and a combination shower/bath and the second bedroom's ensuite features a single sink vanity and a walk-in shower. Upstairs, the third bedroom is a great room for kids as it doubles as the game room with a pool table and flat-screen TV. It features a love seat, sofa, red leather chairs, and a twin/twin deluxe daybed with a trundle. In addition, this room also includes a kitchenette with an ice maker, sink, and microwave. A half bath is located adjacent to this bedroom as well. Next, the fourth bedroom sleeps up to six guests comfortably in three queen-sized beds. However, there's still plenty of space in the room as the third queen bed is actually a murphy bed that can fold into the wall. The fourth bedroom also features a flat-screen TV and an ensuite bathroom with a dual sink vanity and a walk-in shower. Across the hall, the fifth bedroom features a king-sized bed, flat-screen TV, and an ensuite bathroom with a walk-in shower. The last two bedrooms in the home are both master suites and boast breathtaking views of the Gulf of Mexico. Both master suites feature king beds, balcony access, seating areas, and ensuite bathrooms complete with dual sink vanities, private water closets, and walk-in showers.
Altogether, this home is absolutely dazzling. From its impeccable design, chic decor, and gorgeous finishes, to its astonishing gulf views, this home truly has it all. Plus, with such a high sleep count, this home is perfect for group vacations. Whether you're planning a family reunion or multi-family trip, this home has plenty of space for everyone. Additionally, with laundry rooms on both the first and second floor, private beach access, a game room, and tons of living space, this home truly has all the essentials for an amazing beach getaway.
*Fireplaces are a seasonal feature that can only be utilized from October through April. Fireplaces will not be in working order from May to September.
