Beach View Mansion, Pool, LSV - Commanders Palace

Summary:
This incredible 10 Bedroom Coastal Luxury Home is perched high on a one of a kind beach bluff and looks expansively over the sugar white sands and emerald waters of 30a. This home was designed with open air entertaining in mind! It is a wonderful place for a Family Reunion or Wedding celebration with enough private parking. You can also bring your boats, jet skis, bikes, trailers, doggies and more!

The Space:
Welcome To Commanders Palace!

This is the kind of home where memories are made. Whether you're gathering with extended family or planning a laid-back getaway with friends, this thoughtfully designed coastal retreat has everything you need—and so much more.

The heart of the home is the gorgeous private courtyard and pool area, a true outdoor oasis made for relaxing, reconnecting, and entertaining. The heated 30x15 pool is surrounded by plush loungers, an outdoor kitchen with a five-burner natural gas grill, a custom-built cabana, and plenty of space to dine, unwind, and soak up the salty Gulf breezes. There’s seating for everyone, whether you're hosting a family-style dinner under the stars or sipping your morning coffee as the sun rises.

Inside, the home is spacious and beautifully styled, with high-end finishes and cozy touches throughout. On the first floor, you'll step into one of four comfortable living areas, complete with a granite-topped kitchenette and flat-screen TV. This level features a luxurious king suite with a private bath, a custom queen-over-queen bunk room with dual TVs, and a third bedroom with a queen bed and a twin-over-queen bunk—plus a full hallway bath and a laundry area for your convenience.

Up on the second floor, you're greeted with panoramic Gulf views from the wraparound deck and screened-in porch. The gourmet kitchen is a dream, fully equipped with granite countertops, top-of-the-line stainless steel appliances, a gas range, wine cooler, two dishwashers, and everything else you need to whip up beachside feasts. There's bar seating for six and a large dining table that seats up to fourteen—perfect for big group meals. The cozy living room features plenty of seating and a 60" HDTV, and another beautiful king suite and full bath are also on this floor.

The third floor offers yet another light-filled living area, complete with beach views, a second kitchenette, and access to a private balcony. You'll find two more king suites here, both with private balconies and breathtaking Gulf views. The primary suite includes a spa-inspired bathroom with a soaking tub and a custom walk-in shower, ideal for unwinding after a long beach day.

And for even more space and privacy, the carriage house—just across the courtyard—offers a full kitchen, living room, and wraparound balcony upstairs, along with a king bedroom and a custom triple-stacked twin XL bunk room. There's a shared oversized bathroom and a second laundry area, while the ground floor features an additional king suite and a queen bunk room, each with its own bathroom.

Now let’s talk location—because it doesn’t get much better than this. Just steps from the house is a brand-new beach access point, complete with parking, restrooms, and a wheelchair ramp, making it easy for everyone to enjoy the sugar-white sand and emerald water. During peak season, lifeguards are on duty for added peace of mind. And if you'd like to explore 30A in style, this home comes with a complimentary 6 passenger, street legal golf cart!

You're also just a short mile from Gulf Place, where you’ll find delicious seafood, BBQ, live music, local art, and vibrant nightlife. Walk down the street to the iconic Stinky’s Fish Camp for dinner, or take a short drive to nearby hotspots like Silver Sands Premium Outlets, the shops and restaurants at Sandestin’s Baytowne Wharf, or the Santa Rosa Golf & Beach Club.

Everything you need is right here—whether you’re seeking quiet moments on a private balcony, lively dinners with the whole family, or lazy pool days under the sun. This is more than just a vacation home. It’s your coastal haven, and it’s waiting for you.
