  • Watercolor Rentals

    Kelly 682If you are considering a vacation to Destin and/or CR-30A, then Watercolor Rentals is certainly an option that you should consider.  The Watercolor property sits on 499 acres and 1400 feet of sugar white beach front.  Nearly 50% of the space is devoted to open space and preservation areas which helps make Watercolor Rentals a unique experience.

    Kelly 687Watercolor Rentals also makes sense from an architectural and community feel standpoint.  The homes in Watercolor have a classic, Southern architectural feel to them with use of natural landscape accentuated.  Watercolor has received the Award of Excellence from the Urban Land Institute, a nonprofit education and research institute with focus on the use of land in order to enhance the total environment.

    Kelly 660Another fun aspect for those who chose Watercolor Rentals is the option to participate in outdoor activities while staying on the grounds of Watercolor – there is kayaking, canoeing, sailing and biking.  The water sports are compliments of Western Lake, a 220 coastal dune lake, that borders the property.

    Kelly 683Another relatively new addition to the Watercolor experience that make Watercolor Rentals worth considering is the addition of Chan’s Wine World to the commercial mix of tenants.  Conveniently located at the corner of CR-30A and Watercolor Boulevard, Chan’s offers a retail wine and cheese shop along with pizzas in its front room but opens to a full dining experience in the adjoining room.  Outside dining rounds out a unique experience for those who chose Watercolor Rentals.

    Kelly 678There is so much more to add as to why you should consider Watercolor Rentals – like the outstanding Fish Out of Water Restaurant overlooking the Gulf of Mexico, the Watercolor Workout Studio, the Olympic size heated pool overlooking the gulf and so much more.  I will post more in depth information at a later date such that I think you will agree Watercolor Rentals will be at the top of your consideration for beach vacation rentals.

  • Best Buy on Bay Front Home in Sandestin Area

    Bayshore FrontThe price, location & beauty of this home make this head and shoulders above all other homes on the bay in our area – thus this is the first time we have done a post about one of our listings.  This new, never lived in home is listed at $1.395 million.

    (Click on All Pictures to Enlarge).

    Bayshore Baytowne ViewThis home is not on the grounds of Sandestin and is technically in Miramar Beach, but this picture shows you the proximity to Baytowne Wharf in Sandestin.  And you don’t have the traffic of Sandestin because this home is near the end of a dead end street.

    Bayshore PoolThe picture to the left shows the new two story dock.  The backyard and dock can be reached via exiting your screened in back porch that includes swimming pool, hot tub and outdoor kitchen.  A central security system is also included.

    Bayshore Den to KitchenThe home is at 730 Bayshore Drive (north on Geronimo off Highway 98 – Resort Interiors to the north and Copper Grill to the south) has 3850 sf, 5 bedrooms, 5 baths with 24 foot ceilings in the downstairs den area.  The den and kitchen have travertine floors, granite counters and stainless steel appliances. 

    Bayshore EntryOf the eight new (since 2005) homes listed directly on the bay on Bayshore Drive, this home is $117 per square foot less than the next closest and $200 per square foot less than the third lowest.  One might easily think this is a custom home. 

    The average price for the other new bay front homes on Bayshore Drive is $664 per sf, while this home is $362 per square foot.  In fact this beautiful house, completed in 2007, is the least expensive new home (built since 2005) on the bay in not only Sandestin but all of Destin & South Walton.
