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.

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.
