More about The Hummingbird:
Come and taste how sweet the coastal lifestyle can be! The Hummingbird is an exquisite beach house nestled on the shores of a serene lake in the exclusive neighborhood of Destin Pointe on Holiday Isle, Destin. Boasting a range of amenities, The Hummingbird combines the tranquility of lakeside living with the allure of easy beach access! This is an ideal house for multi-family vacations and retreats of any kind as it sleeps ten guests across four bedrooms. With a private pool and spa, two community pools, tennis/pickleball courts, a dedicated office with a printer, subdivision beach shuttle, and a two-car garage with driveway parking for up to 3 cars, it presents an idyllic haven for those seeking a perfect balance between relaxation and recreation in the heart of a coastal paradise.
This location is unique because it is situated near two distinct beaches. The first one has calm waters protected by jetties and is a popular spot for snorkeling and fishing among both locals and tourists. It is just a five-minute walk away from the house. The second beach is on the Gulf side and is ideal for activities like boogie boarding on the waves, fishing, playing in the surf, or just relaxing in the sun with the two complimentary beach chairs and umbrellas that can be set up and waiting for you upon your beach arrival. Convenience is paramount, this house is two blocks from the neighborhood boardwalk that leads directly to the sandy white Gulf beach. The subdivision also offers a seasonal beach shuttle service if guests prefer. Guests can easily access the pristine sandy shores of the Gulf without the hassle of transportation, making beach outings a seamless and enjoyable experience. Additionally, the home comes with a beach wagon and cooler on wheels!
The Hummingbird boasts a beautiful outdoor oasis with two distinct gathering areas and a natural gas grill. A screened-in porch extends the living space outdoors while offering protection from the elements. This charming porch with a half bath is furnished with cozy chairs, creating an atmosphere of laid-back luxury. It allows guests to enjoy the outdoors without being bothered by insects or adverse weather conditions. The second quaint and cozy seating area is located outside under the covered balcony. Between these two outdoor living areas, guests will find plenty of seating to kick back and relax. The focal point of this outdoor haven is an inviting private pool and spa that offers a refreshing escape from the hustle and bustle. Surrounded by a pool deck, it creates a serene atmosphere for sunbathing and cooling off in the crystal-clear waters.
On the second floor, an open layout allows effortless movement between the kitchen, dining, and living areas, creating a versatile space ideal for entertaining guests. Whether hosting a dinner party, enjoying family gatherings, or simply unwinding with a book and a view, this updated and classic living space caters to various needs.
The living room is designed for relaxation and socializing, featuring plush sofas and chairs, a large TV, and tasteful decor. However, the true focal point is the view of the serene lake. The living room seamlessly extends to a covered balcony overlooking the pool and lake, creating a fluid transition between indoor and outdoor living. This setup allows you to dine inside or al fresco on the covered balcony, which faces east, providing a beautiful view of the sunrise while guests enjoy their morning coffee. As the evening breeze rolls in, retreat indoors to a cozy living space and seasonal fireplace.
The kitchen in this house is gorgeous, boasting high-end Viking appliances like a five-burner gas stove, sleek countertops, and plenty of natural light. The large and stylish island is the centerpiece of the room, offering ample space for meal preparation and casual dining, with bar seating for up to three people. This kitchen is not only perfect for chefs, but it's also aesthetically pleasing with its modern design and meticulous attention to detail. Adjacent to the kitchen, the dining area is an elegant space set for gatherings of eight. A chic and sizable dining table, surrounded by comfortable chairs, creates an inviting atmosphere for shared meals and lively conversations.
