Just Sold | Dune Pointe | 101 | Okaloosa Island, FL


2 Bed  |  2 Bath  |  1,258 Square Feet  |  Selling Price: $525,000




Our wonderful sellers were the original owners for this lovely unit at Dune Pointe on Okaloosa Island! Since 2003, they have utilized this unit to gather family and spend time together here along our emerald coast. As the years have gone on and the family has grown, life has gotten busy for all, so they decided it was time to sell. We were thrilled to assist them in the transaction and know the memories spent here over the years will be with them for a lifetime. 


This ground floor unit at Dune Pointe on Okaloosa Island is beautiful! Fully furnished and designed with coastal décor and finishings, this unit provides owners and guests a fabulous place to enjoy the beach life. The open living, dining, and kitchen area provide a perfect place for family to gather. The owner's suite is spacious and includes a large en suite bath with a jacuzzi tub and separate shower. The guest room and full guest bath are in the north end of the unit. Other touches throughout the unit include wood plank tile flooring, beautiful granite countertops in the kitchen, and a sleeper sofa for additional guests. Enjoy the serene sea breeze from the spacious patio. Access the pool through the patio gate, and spend your days soaking up the sunshine. This is a perfect paradise!






Dune Pointe is a mid-rise condominium with only 20 units. A gulf-front pool and direct beach access ensure that you have relaxation at your fingertips. Located on Okaloosa Island, you're minutes from shopping, entertainment, and restaurants, and just a quick drive from all the fun in Destin. This is a great location for a second home or investment property!




This unit was lovely to shoot and market. Located on popular Okaloosa Island with Gulf views, beautiful beachfront, and minutes from Destin, we knew this unit would appeal to buyers desiring to live the coastal lifestyle or make an investment in paradise. We made the most of these aspects and featured them in our marketing plan. Along with professional photography, we produced a video tour of the unit and community highlights.


   


For ease of access in learning more about the unit and community, we promoted it on social media, in our monthly newsletter and in email marketing to send to our database of investors and agents that link to both the property website and video tour. The property was also featured on Zillow, Trulia, and Realtor.com, as well as internationally renowned Remax.com.
