Sunlight glints off the harbor as boats drift past and a soft coastal breeze moves through the palms. Mornings unfold slowly here - coffee in hand, water views in every direction, and the quiet rhythm of Holiday Isle setting the pace. By afternoon, you’re floating between pool, dock, and beach, with the Gulf never far from sight. Set directly on the Destin Harbor, Sun Kissed is an 8-bedroom, 7-bath waterfront estate designed for shared time without feeling crowded. The home sleeps up to 22 guests and spans three levels, with multiple indoor and outdoor gathering spaces that let everyone settle in comfortably. Private, gated beach access places the shoreline just moments away, while the harborfront setting brings ever-changing views of passing boats and calm coastal water. Sleeping arrangements The layout balances privacy and flexibility across all floors. King suites are spread throughout the home, joined by a bunk bedroom with a twin-over-queen bunk and a double queen suite. Bathrooms include en-suite and Jack-and-Jill setups, thoughtfully arranged for larger groups while maintaining ease of access. Living spaces Two distinct living areas allow groups to spread out. The second floor features an open kitchen, dining, and living space made for long meals and relaxed evenings, while the first floor offers a separate living area with kitchenette and game space. Large windows and doors throughout keep water views front and center. Kitchen and dining The kitchen is fully equipped for group cooking and casual dining, complemented by an outdoor kitchen near the pool. Indoor and outdoor dining areas make it easy to linger over meals or gather after a day on the water. Outdoor living Step outside to a private pool and hot tub overlooking the harbor, a waterfront deck, and a backyard designed for easygoing afternoons. The private dock includes four boat slips, with direct access to the harbor and nearby water taxi service. Pool heating is available by request for an additional fee.
