Welcome to The Dune Retreat, an 8-bedroom, 8-bathroom coastal home on an elevated lot on Hillcrest Road, offering Gulf views, private resort-style amenities, and a layout well-suited for both personal use and short-term rental income. The home is a short walk to the beach via a pedestrian bridge over Oyster Lake, leading to a low-traffic access point with parking and rinse stations. Thoughtfully designed with both full-time living and rental potential in mind, the home features an open-concept floor plan with soaring ceilings, designer lighting, and a chef's kitchen equipped with dual full-size refrigerators, quartz countertops, custom cabinetry, and a custom wood-wrapped vent hood. The spacious dining area comfortably seats ten and is complemented by additional seating at the island, creating an ideal space for entertaining.

Each of the eight bedrooms offers privacy and comfort, with king-sized accommodations and beautifully appointed ensuite bathrooms featuring distinctive tile selections, gold fixtures, and walk-in showers. A thoughtfully designed bunk room includes built-in beds with individual lighting and storage, making it a perfect retreat for younger guests. Two expansive primary suites provide a true escape, complete with soaking tubs, dual vanities, and private balconies overlooking the Gulf and pool. An additional full bath serves the main living level.
Outdoor living is at the heart of the property, with multiple covered balconies designed for relaxation. The private ModPools container pool and spa feature a clear side viewing window and a removable divider for customizable heating.
