The result is a flexible layout ideal for hosting family, accommodating guests, or maximizing rental potential when desired. From the moment you enter, the water commands your attention. The living and dining areas open seamlessly to a spacious balcony overlooking East Pass, where boat traffic, emerald waters, and coastal sunsets create a constantly evolving backdrop. Natural light fills the interior, enhanced by updated finishes and a neutral coastal palette that feels refined, clean, and move-in ready. The kitchen has been updated to complement the modern aesthetic while remaining highly functional for entertaining.

The primary suite offers a retreat within the retreat. With its own private balcony and water views, the primary bedroom delivers a peaceful start and finish to each day. Imagine opening the doors to coastal breezes and the sound of water just beyond your line of sight. The ensuite bath has been refreshed to reflect the home's updated character, creating a comfortable and private space to unwind. The additional bedrooms provide flexibility rarely found at this price point within the building. Whether configured for guests, home office use, or additional sleeping capacity, the expanded layout increases both lifestyle functionality and income potential. And in a building where many units remain dated, this one stands out. East Pass Towers is known for its boutique scale, low density, and prime Holiday Isle positioning, directly across from the Gulf and steps from boating access. Residents enjoy proximity to the Destin Harbor, waterfront dining, charter fishing, paddleboarding, and beach access, all while maintaining a quieter residential feel compared to larger resort-style complexes. The HOA offers owners a lock-and-leave lifestyle that appeals strongly to second-home buyers. For those considering rental income, the expanded sleeping capacity creates a strategic advantage over traditional two-bedroom layouts. Three functional sleeping spaces can significantly enhance booking flexibility and nightly rate potential, particularly during peak Gulf Coast seasons. Beyond the walls of the residence, Holiday Isle remains one of Destin's most desirable waterfront enclaves. Positioned between the Gulf of Mexico and the harbor, it offers a rare dual-water experience that continues to attract buyers seeking both recreation and long-term value. Boating enthusiasts appreciate the direct proximity to East Pass and the Gulf beyond. Beachgoers enjoy nearby white sand access. Food lovers are minutes from harbor-front dining and entertainment. Yet when you return home, the setting feels private and removed. At $790,000, this residence is strategically positioned within the building, offering updated condition, expanded functionality, and compelling water views without reaching the higher price thresholds of some original three-bedroom stacks. In a market where buyers are increasingly selective, properties that are both turnkey and uniquely functional stand apart. This is not simply a condo. It is: " A coastal escape without renovation stress " A lock-and-leave second home " A flexible layout for hosting " A potential income-producing asset " A water-view lifestyle at a compelling entry point into East Pass Towers The opportunity here lies in differentiation. Where others may offer standard layouts, this residence offers adaptability. Where others may require updates, this one is ready now. Where others compete strictly on square footage, this home competes on experience. And experience is what drives purchasing decisions in waterfront real estate. If you have been searching for a Holiday Isle property that balances water views, interior updates, expanded sleeping capacity, and strategic pricing, this residence deserves your attention.
