''Rising Sun'' brings you back to those memorable beach vacations from days gone by. This two bedroom Florida cottage is a classic and is situated right on the white sand beach facing the emerald green waters of the Gulf. A balcony wraps around the side of the home and leads to a spacious covered deck in the back that provides panoramic beachfront views. This charming vacation cottage is an eclectic mix of nostalgia along with up-to-date modern amenities that creates a comfortable and casual setting. The main living area has a cathedral ceiling with exposed beams that give the home a rustic yet spacious look. The large living/dining area features a wall of windows that have westward sunset views across the Gulf. The open kitchen nearby has two sides of marble front bars with five raised seats & stainless appliances. The Master Bedroom has a white paneled king sized bed and a private full bathroom. The Guest Bedroom has twin beds with access to a full hall bath that also serves as the powder room. This desirable location is right off Scenic Gulf Drive in the heart of Destin's Miramar Beach and minutes away from popular beachside restaurants, friendly bars, area grocery stores, the Village of Baytowne Wharf in Sandestin, and bargain shopping at Silver Sands, which is the nation's largest Designer Outlet. On a another note this is one of the largest lots along the beach at 50x340x50x356 and would provide the perfect setting for a much larger residence in the future. Also the house sits substantially South of the Coastal Construction Line as it was grandfathered during the re-build after hurricane Opel in 1994. Call and schedule your viewing today. Prospective buyers or their Agents should confirm all information to their satisfaction.

Tucked within the guard-gated, gulf-front community of Caribe and set on one of the highest elevations in Miramar Beach, this timeless coastal retreat is ideally positioned between the Gulf and the community pool--placing the best of the Emerald Coast just moments from your door. From the moment you arrive, the home begins to tell its story. A shuttered front porch offers a private, shaded escape--perfect for relaxed dinners or slow mornings with coffee. Beyond, four additional porches unfold, each one extending the living spaces outward and inviting in Gulf breezes and soft coastal light. With five airy porches in total, the home is designed for seamless indoor-outdoor living and effortless entertaining. Inside, classic architectural details set the tone. Soaring 12-foot ceilings anchor the main living and dining areas, while solid 8-foot raised panel doors, custom millwork, and a vaulted primary suite ceiling create a refined, "Garden District" feel. The layout offers both comfort and flexibility, with two bedrooms on the main level and a private primary suite spanning the entire second floor--a true retreat above it all. Finishes include hardwood flooring, granite countertops in the kitchen, and marble surfaces in the primary bath. Rare exterior storage is highlighted by a lattice drive-under pergola. Caribe is a low-density, thoughtfully planned guard-gated community known for its winding paths, lush landscaping, and rare stretch of 500 feet of private neighborhood beach--an uncrowded expanse of sugar-white sand and emerald Gulf waters that feels worlds away. With two community pools, tennis courts, and quiet beaches - there's only one Caribe. Originally designed by Christ & Associates, the visionaries behind Caribe, the home artfully blends a taste of New Orleans with a sense of the Caribbean--capturing a style that is both classic and enduring. Five porches. One unforgettable sunset. And a home that lives as beautifully as it was designed.
