This beautifully maintained 4-bedroom, 3-bath residence in the heart of Miramar Beach has two distinctive features: three Live Oak trees provide natural shade and character over the entire large semi-private patio area. And secondly, the home is ideally positioned as the closest home in the neighborhood to the beach. These features offer a rare combination of charm, convenience, and strong investment potential. Located within a secure, golf cart-friendly gated community south of Hwy 98, you're just a short 5-minute walk to private deeded beach access -- complete with restrooms and a seasonal snack bar.  With projected short-term rental income of $60,000-$80,000+, this property presents an outstanding opportunity for investors or second-home buyers alike. The home has been thoughtfully updated with a new roof in 2024 (lifetime warranty) and a new HVAC system in 2023, and is offered fully furnished for a seamless, turn-key experience. Inside, the third-floor bunk room is a standout -- a fun and functional retreat that kids and guests will love. Residents enjoy access to two community pools, a pickleball court, and complimentary seasonal beach chair service. With gated entry from both Scenic Hwy 98 and Emerald Coast Parkway, you're just minutes from dining, shopping, golf, and all that Destin and Miramar Beach have to offer. Whether you're searching for a primary residence, vacation getaway, or income-producing property, this home delivers the ideal coastal lifestyle.
