Shaded by mature oaks and surrounded by winding paths, lush landscaping and tranquil water features, this completely renovated ground-floor cottage at Hidden Dunes Beach & Tennis Resort offers a quieter side of coastal living just a short stroll from the sugar-white sands of the gulf. With two bedrooms, two baths and no stairs or elevators to navigate, the residence pairs the relaxed character of a beach cottage with extensive resort amenities and turnkey appeal for a second home or vacation rental investment. Fresh and thoughtfully updated throughout, the interior features wood-look plank flooring, a soft coastal palette and updated lighting and fixtures. The open living and dining area extends naturally to the screened porch, creating an inviting connection between the interior and the cottage's peaceful, park-like surroundings. The renovated kitchen is bright and functional with crisp white cabinetry, quartz countertops, stainless steel appliances and a breakfast bar overlooking the main living area. The spacious primary suite features a detailed accent wall and custom lighting, while its beautifully updated private bath includes a tiled walk-in shower. The guest bedroom and second renovated bath offer comfortable accommodations for family and guests, with thoughtful updates carried throughout the residence. Just beyond the living area, the screened porch provides a front-row view of the natural setting that distinguishes the beach cottages. Recently refreshed landscaping, seasonal flowers and renovated water features create a serene backdrop, while walking paths meander beneath the tree canopy and throughout the gated resort grounds. Deeded private beach access is one of the property's most compelling advantages. A dedicated beach walkover provides convenient access to the gulf's emerald waters and sugar-white sand, with seasonal beach service adding another layer of ease for owners and guests. Resort amenities extend well beyond the shoreline with three community pools, three hot tubs, a year-round heated villa pool and an award-winning Tennis & Pickleball Center featuring six professionally maintained Rubico clay tennis courts and three hard-surface pickleball courts. Additional recreation includes a lighted basketball court, playground, cornhole, horseshoe pits, natural gas grills and seasonal complimentary tram service. Convenient to shopping, dining, golf and entertainment throughout Sandestin Golf and Beach Resort, Destin and Scenic Highway 30A, this lovingly renovated cottage combines ground-floor convenience, direct beach access and an exceptional range of amenities with the privacy and charm of its established natural setting. Offered turnkey with strong rental potential, it is equally suited for a coastal second home, personal getaway or vacation rental investment.
