The Space:
Welcome to Kings Castle, an ultra-luxury beach retreat in the heart of Destin’s beloved Crystal Beach neighborhood. With 8 bedrooms, 8.5 bathrooms, and nearly 4,000 square feet of stylish, high-end living space, this home was designed with unforgettable family vacations in mind. Just steps from the famous sugar-white sands and emerald waters of the Gulf, Kings Castle is one of the largest and most impressive homes in Crystal Beach—and it’s ready to be your coastal playground.

From the moment you arrive, you’ll feel like royalty. This three-story home features six king master suites, two custom-built bunk rooms—each with its own en-suite bathroom—and multiple spacious living areas, giving your entire group plenty of room to spread out, relax, and make memories. The open-concept chef’s kitchen flows into a large dining area, perfect for gathering around meals and planning your next beach day. And if you’re traveling with multiple families or a large group, the second full kitchen, multiple ice makers, and mini fridges throughout the home make hosting and entertaining a breeze.

Step outside into your own private tropical oasis. The fenced backyard is lined with palm trees and centered around one of Crystal Beach’s largest private pools—a 30x15 heated saltwater pool with fiber optic lighting and a cascading 8x5 waterfall hot tub. Fire up the outdoor kitchen, dine under the stars at the poolside tables, and enjoy a setting that's just as magical at night as it is during the day.

The location couldn’t be more ideal. Kings Castle is less than half a block from the beach and just minutes from Destin Commons, Whole Foods, nightlife, boutique shopping, bowling, and a wide variety of local restaurants like Camille’s and 790 on the Gulf. You’ll be close to everything, yet tucked away in the charm and calm of Crystal Beach.

Inside, you’ll find upscale details everywhere—from granite and marble countertops to oversized porcelain tile, custom-built furnishings, and smart TVs in every room (11 in total). After sunset, gather in the second-floor living room to catch a movie on the 70-inch smart TV, or head to the third floor for game night in the bonus lounge, complete with a billiards table and vintage-style cocktail arcade machine loaded with 60 games.

Whether you're soaking in the views of the Gulf from your third-floor deck, swimming under the stars, or just relaxing with morning coffee on the balcony, Kings Castle offers an experience that’s luxurious, spacious, and truly unforgettable.

Come stay in the crown jewel of Crystal Beach and see why Kings Castle is one of Destin’s most extraordinary vacation homes.
