Shipwatch Vacation Home for Sale

If you are in the market for a dream vacation home that can also serve as a fine rental investment property, check out this lovely home at 12 Starboard Ct in Miramar Beach. It is located in the exclusively gated residential community of Shipwatch. This privileged community is nestled on Scenic Gulf Drive in a serene world besides the shimmering crystalline white beach. This enchanting community features a mix of golden Americana, classic Mediterranean, and Old Florida-styled designs.

Once you pass the front gate entrance leading into Shipwatch, a palm-lined drive crosses an arched bridge over a natural lagoon filled with Lilly pads and wildlife. It leads to the homes that overlook the water and the gleaming gulf. This remarkable setting allows residents and their fortunate beach-going guests to enjoy a prestigious world of private privilege compared to luxury high-rise towers near this coveted gulf-front location. Shipwatch has a beautiful private beach that spans 400 linear feet, which is longer than a football field's size in length. The glowing luminescent jewel-toned gulf beside it is truly stunning.

This warm, inviting two-story home features an Old Florida-styled design and faces one of the tranquil lagoons. It includes four beautifully furnished bedrooms and encompasses a spacious 2,574 square feet. Three bedrooms include luxury private ensuite baths, while the fourth bedroom has access to a full hall bath that serves as a convenient powder room. This home is steps away from the beautiful beach, and it also has a private lagoon-front swimming pool. A furnished open sun deck around the seasonally heated plunge pool overlooks the lagoon with westerly views and has a gas grill for fun cookouts. You'll find yourself wanting to spend a lot of time here, especially during the summer when heavenly sunsets light up the sky over the serene waterscape. This place is perfect for outdoor entertainment since the sun deck wraps around a columned veranda with a furnished dining area and a gas fireplace available for chilly evenings. Comfortable furnishings, rich hardwood flooring, beach-inspired décor, and sunny windows throughout this home provide bright upscale coastal surroundings. It's no wonder that our esteemed Ocean Reef Resorts property management company reports annual gross rental income data for this home at $175,000 per year!
