Description

This is not the Seafarer you have seen before. Unit 204 has been taken down to the studs and rebuilt with a level of craft and intentionality that simply does not exist anywhere else in the building -- or in most of the market. The flooring, the countertops, the backsplashes, the plumbing, the fixtures: every single component was selected and installed with exquisite care. The bathrooms have been reimagined as spa-caliber retreats, finished with the kind of detail most renovations reserve for the primary suite alone. Most buyers touring Gulf-front condos learn to overlook dated kitchens and tired finishes. In Unit 204, there is nothing to overlook. Not one corner, not one surface. The upper-level master suite features something no other unit offers: a loft converted into a stunning glass-enclosed lounge. Most owners leave that space unfinished and forgotten. Here it has become one of the most distinctive rooms in the building. Step onto either of the two Gulf-facing balconies and the view will stop you mid-sentence. The north-facing private balcony on the second level delivers something equally rare: total seclusion, completely removed from the activity below. The Seafarer has completed its milestone inspection and full exterior SIRS renovation -- the building is in exceptional condition with no pending special assessments. What you are acquiring is the finest unit in a fully remediated Gulf-front building. For a buyer who refuses to settle for anything less than perfect. There are renovated condos, and then there is Seafarer Unit 204. Most beach condo renovations mean new countertops, fresh paint, and updated fixtures. This is not that. The current owner purchased this unit in January 2025 and immediately began a complete, wall-to-wall, floor-to-ceiling gut renovation -- down to the studs. Every surface, every system, every finish was replaced. The result is a residence that functions and feels like brand-new construction while carrying the irreplaceable advantage of a Gulf-front address in one of Destin's most intimate, low-density settings. The Seafarer building itself has its own compelling story. From late 2024 through April 2025, the building completed its full milestone inspection and SIRS exterior renovation -- all required structural and exterior work is done. The building looks remarkable. There are no deferred maintenance concerns, no looming special assessments, and no construction disruption to manage. A buyer today is stepping into a building that just had its major work completed, not one that is about to begin. Then there are the views. No matter how many beach properties you have seen, no matter how experienced or jaded you think you are, when you step onto the balcony of Unit 204 and look out over the Gulf of America -- the white sand below, the emerald water stretching to the horizon, the breeze moving through -- you exhale. It is involuntary. The pool is below you, the beach is beyond it, and the world quiets down. That is not a marketing line. That is what happens every time someone stands on that balcony for the first time. The location is equally exceptional. Seafarer sits directly on the Gulf of America at 1700 Scenic Highway 98 -- beside the Back Porch Restaurant, in the heart of Destin's Restaurant Row. It is a three-story, low-rise building that offers something the high-rises cannot: human scale. You walk out your door and the beach is right there. No long elevator rides, no crowded lobbies. Just sand, water, and a building that feels like it belongs to its owners rather than to a hotel operation. Unit 204 is on the second floor with Gulf views, 1, 200 square feet of living space, two bedrooms, two baths, covered parking, and full furnishings included in the sale. The unit has never been rented in its renovated condition -- it is pristine. Pre-renovation, it generated $56, 000 in rental income in 2023 and $62, 000 in 2024 -- during an active building renovation that suppressed occupancy. A clean, fu
