Bay-Front Dream Mansion and Large Guest House -20 minutes to beaches, 4 acres!
THIS LISTING is for BOTH the MANSION and it's 3 bedrm GUEST HOUSE to be rented together.
If you would like to just rent the Eden House (Mansion) without the guest house, search on VRBO with this property number: 3125345 If you would like to just rent the Guest House without the Main Mansion, search with this property number: 3125421
Located on 400 feet of bay front, - 20 from the white sand beaches of Destin and Miramar, is EDEN MANSION, a 7,000 square ft mansion and 2,000 square ft guest house, with gorgeous water views from many rooms! Located on 4 beautiful acres, filled with 100 oak trees and lush greenery, you will be in another world, watching dolphins from the front patio. Bring your boat or park your sea plane! There is a boat launch just down the road (and plans to build a dock in the future). Venture across the street and fish, kayak, paddle board, or just take in the scenery. This is perfect for large families and special occasions.
Eden Mansion, the big main house, offers 7 bedrooms (9 if you use the study and den as bedrooms) and 7 full bathrooms & 2 half baths. Eden Mansion has a dream kitchen with bay views and there is a kitchenette in an area of the main home as well. It totals 7,000 square feet. The master bedroom has TWO full bathrooms inside! The Mansion has 3 laundry areas (3 washer/dryers).
Guest house has 3 bedrooms & 3 full ensuite baths and totals 2,000 sq ft with it's own enormous full kitchen, living rm and it's own laundry rm.
This home is able to host events, but they must be approved, with an approximate guest count, and may be subjected to an event fee.
The two homes can be rented separately or together, and there are separate listings for both homes. This listing is for BOTH homes. If rented separately, the guest house will have a separate, very large area to spread out and spend time outside away from any renters that may be in the main home.
If you love this property, save it, and check back every few months as I plan on making more and more outdoor gardens and areas to spend time in throughout 2024.
The vacation home is air-conditioned and features a kitchen, 10 bathrooms, and a balcony, and there's space to spread out with 10 bedrooms. Other standard amenities include a private pool, a washing machine, and a fireplace.

amazing bridal shower location
Having my bridal shower here was magical!!!! The weather was perfect and we had an amazing setup outside with tables, chairs and decorations. There are so many bedrooms! Our group of 18 never felt cramped at all and our party of 30 had an amazing time. I had asked the host what else we could do during our stay with this big group of women and she had so many great suggestions and ideas. We decided to turn the rest of our stay into an amazing women's retreat with painting outside/wine and games. My sister is currently discussing coming back for a yoga retreat. I appreciate all of your help. Thank you so much for caring so much about our time there.

Wonderful Place!
We did not want to leave. This was the perfect spot for my family trip. We made memories here
that would not have been possible had we stayed in Destin which had been our original
plan, crammed into a beach house with lots of stairs and not much room for 14.
We had plenty of space it was as if we had a hotel to ourselves!
The kids loved the large in-ground pool and the adults loved taking in the scenery.
We were at the beach in no time when we did want to go.
My Aunt and Uncle did not have to climb stairs as there were first floor bedrooms
and only other bedrooms upstairs.
Plenty of towels and extra pillows, anything we needed. The property has so much
shade which made spending long hours outside possible. We didn’t need umbrellas.
We had access to folding tables and chairs as well as chair covers and table cloths
if we wanted to set up a dining place any place we wanted outside, which we
used to eat under the trees one evening in view of the water.
