Masterfully designed and beautifully rendered this opulent Gulf front retreat exemplifies privacy & serenity characterized by soaring palm trees and mature landscaping primely situated on one of the largest beachfront lots in the prestigious guard gated community of Destiny by the Sea. This estate style home was beautifully inspired by mediterranean-revival architecture reminiscent of Palm Beach and Naples while also offering a mature coastal palette that exudes comfort and class. The lush gardens in the walled courtyard entry provide an unparalleled sense of arrival offering tropical foliage juxtaposed exotic date palms anchored by a private south-facing lagoon-style pool and sizable pool deck, providing immense privacy while enjoying endless views over the Gulf of Mexico.
The courtyard entry opens up to the outdoor kitchen, private beach walkover and south facing deck which serves as the perfect entertaining space overlooking Destiny by the Sea's private beach access.The main foyer entryway offers dramatic double height ceilings and pristine natural lighting from a wall of windows beautifully illuminating the grand spiral staircase which is the focal point of the room. Beyond the foyer is a sizable in-home movie theatre offering handsome decor and adjacent to the private elevator, powder bathroom and full-size laundry room. The main living area occupies the south portion of the first floor and was primely positioned to take full advantage of sweeping gulf views through a wall of floor to ceiling glass windows situated at an elevated vantage point which allows full line of sight to the waves crashing on the sandy shoreline. The chef's kitchen is well equipped with custom wood paneled cabinetry, beautiful granite countertops, Sub-Zero fridge, gas range cooktop and a spacious pantry. The gulf front dining room is adjacent to the formal living area and is anchored by a media console, gas fireplace and wet bar, all of which flows seamlessly onto the rear covered porch which spans the length of the home offering stunning gulf vistas and ample outdoor lounge space.
The second level features four oversized king bedroom suites each with it's own ensuite bathroom and well equipped with custom window treatments and direct access to the covered reach porches to soak in endless gulf views. The master level is located on the third floor and is easily accessible by the grand staircase as well as the private elevator while offering a spacious office suite complete with gulf views as well as a guest bedroom that overlooks the lush courtyard. The master bedroom is a true retreat offering 180 degree water views from a wall of windows and is well equipped with an oversized walk in closet, master sitting area, private covered porch, finely built media center as well as a spa like master bathroom with dual vanities, soaking tub, walk-in shower, laundry station and water closet. Other notable features include an oversized two-car garage with built-in storage space, finely appointed furnishings throughout as well as custom drapery & window treatments providing optimal comfort and immediate use. This grand marquis is a true sanctuary located in the heart of Destin, Florida overlooking Destiny by the Sea's 3,000' of private beach frontage. This luxurious escape is secluded yet convenient to world class commercial amenities including Legendary Marina, Destin Commons, WholeFoods as well as fabulous local restaurants, boutique shopping and local entertainment.

This home was very beautiful and my family enjoyed our time there. However, had I known that there were stairs from the kitchen to the dining area/living room, we would have chosen a different home. We have 2 handicap adults and 2 small kids. My 2 year old fell off the steps twice and hit his head and face hard on the floor, leaving a huge knot on his forehead and a bruised cheek. The rest of us almost tripped on the stairs several times. I just want to give this piece of info for anyone booking this home who might have small kids and handicap adults.
Aside from those issues, almost everything else was great! The location and private beach are stunning. The beds were very comfortable, the AC was cold, the pool was very nice. The gates to the beach were not working properly, so we left them open to keep from getting locked out. Overall a 9 out of 10!

Our family, 3 adults and 4 children, stayed a week for Fall Break. The house is beautiful and the location is perfect. Restaurants within 2 miles, private beach, gated community.....It was perfect!! I definitely recommend the property and the management group ELP if you're visiting Destin!!

House was as advertised. Great location and accommodations for a family get together. The layout was perfect and the house was clean and very well maintained. It was clean, comfortable, and very well appointed. There was nothing that needed to be done to make this a better trip, location, or accommodation. Property manager was reachable and responsive. Would not hesitate to book this property again if staying in the area. Anyone booking this property should feel secure in knowing they booked a great one. Well done.

Overall the property and amenities were fabulous. The neighborhood does have some strict guidelines, but nothing that would prevent me from booking again. AC unit on first floor kept breaking down the last couple days, but again, dumb luck. If you are looking for a luxury stay on the beach, this is it. You will not be disappointed.

We took advantage of the beauty of Kings View as the venue for our wedding. It was perfect. We used the beach backyard for the ceremony and outdoor dinner reception for our small family gathering. Gorgeous. Highly recommend.

The house was exactly like pictured. Weather unfortunately wasn’t cooperating so we were not able to enjoy the water and the whole reason why we booked a home on the beach. That’s not the property’s fault of course. Half The bikes that were provided to us had flat tires. Couldn’t ride them. The latch leading to the front porch off the main dining room was broken and the door kept opening. There were also entirely too many codes to try to remember. Code to enter the house, code to access the beach, code for the bikes. They were all different. It would have been nice to have 1 code for all 3.

This was a perfect house for our family. The house was very big and spacious. All of the bedrooms were large as well. This is a great property in a great location. The beach was amazing as well. The property manager was very responsive as well.

Being beachfront adds so much to the trip and the views from every window were just spectacular. We stayed during March madness and the theatre room brought so much joy to my family! The house suited us perfectly we had 3 generations and having the 3rd floor oasis for us “old folks” was perfect.

A beautiful get away!
The Grand Marquee is an elegant home offering plenty of space for comfort, relaxation, and entertainment for the entire family. Full access to a private beach and the beach service by Sun, Sand and Sea provided a day of serenity in the sun.
The beautiful pool, in an oasis setting under the palm trees, provided a respite from the heat and a fun place to hang out in the evening when the sun went down.
Amazing time spent with our family in an amazing place!! We look forward to our next trip. We will be back!

The property was beautiful. I reported that we had three issues.
1. The stopper in master tub would not hold water.
2. The ice maker did not work in the fridge.
3. We could not use the movie theater. No instructions.
4. It would have been nice to have a broom to sweep up sand.
5. Pool was dirty when we arrived but cleaned by the next day.
6. The handle on the gate coming up from the beach is missing.

The location is perfect! The house is spacious and very clean. It is the perfect spot for large groups. Our kids loved the theatre room and access to the beach. The grill situation was not the best and the chlorine in the pool was VERY strong. Overall I would highly recommend this property!

Beautiful
This was a beautiful home in the perfect location! We were literally right on the beach! This is the perfect home for a large family or multiple families! Wonderful gated community and such a comfortable home! My only recommendation for the property manager would be to have a binder in the home of helpful information like working the TV and Theatre,, how to rent beach chairs, recommend restaurants and shopping, etc. Also to add some butter knives to the silverware collection, there were not any. However, we had a wonderful time, thank you so much! We would definitely rent this beautiful home again!
