Description

Crystal View is a contemporary three-bedroom, three-and-a-half-bathroom vacation home that blends classic Old Florida charm with relaxed coastal living. A covered wraparound front porch, second-floor balcony, and signature observation tower create a timeless architectural feel, while the location along Scenic Gulf Drive places you just across the street from the jewel-toned waters and sugar-white sands of the Gulf.

Out back, the newly refreshed pool area sets the tone for laid-back days and effortless entertaining. The spacious 27’ x 13’ private pool is framed by an updated deck, creating a clean, open setting for lounging in the sun or cooling off with a swim. Just steps away, a custom putting green adds a fun, unexpected touch—perfect for a little friendly competition between beach trips. The covered cabana extends the experience with a shaded retreat designed for comfort and connection. Soaring wood-beamed ceilings and multiple ceiling fans keep the space breezy, while plush seating, a chaise lounge, and a dining table for six invite you to settle in and stay awhile. A built-in refrigerator and sink make it easy to keep drinks chilled, and the gas grill is ready for everything from casual poolside lunches to relaxed evening cookouts.

Inside, the home feels bright and welcoming, with a layout designed for gathering and easy flow. The main living area offers comfortable seating in soft coastal tones, creating a relaxed space to unwind after a day at the beach. The open kitchen features creamy white cabinetry, gleaming granite countertops, and modern appliances, with bar seating that naturally connects the space. Nearby, a dedicated dining area provides room for shared meals and conversation, while the first-floor guest bedroom with a queen bed and nearby full bath offers convenience and privacy.

Upstairs, the Primary Suite offers a calm and elevated retreat, featuring a king-sized bed beneath a vaulted ceiling and private balcony access with glimpses of the Gulf. The ensuite bath includes a soaking tub, separate walk-in shower, and granite-topped vanities with slate accents. Down the hall, the bunk room is ideal for younger guests, featuring a full-over-twin bunk with a twin trundle and soft coastal tones throughout. Just adjacent, a built-in twin bunk nook is tucked into its own cozy alcove, creating a fun, tucked-away space that kids will naturally gravitate toward. This thoughtful layout gives everyone their own place to unwind while keeping the experience connected.

The third-floor loft adds even more flexibility, offering a daybed, TV, and access to the rooftop deck—an inviting spot to take in coastal breezes and elevated views of the Gulf.
