Destin and South Walton's coastal dune lakes are some of the area's most interesting and unique features. Coastal dune lakes are incredibly rare and aside from Northwest Florida, they only really exist along the coasts of New Zealand, Australia, Madagascar, South Carolina, and Oregon. Because these lakes are so rare, getting to stay in a home right one of them is a real treat. Fortunately, Five Star has a few luxury vacation homes that will fit the bill.
1. Lilly Pad
Located in Dune Allen Beach, Lilly Pad is a beach house and a lake house all in one. While it has a dock and lake access in its yard, it's also only a one-minute walk to the beach. This home is perfect for fishing, swimming, and kayaking. Additionally, there are stunning views all throughout the house, with a private dock and three large porches.
2. Casa Esmeralda
Casa Esmeralda is a beautiful Destiny West home on one of Destin's unique coastal dune lakes. This stunning home has amazing amenities like a lakefront pool, private dock for fishing, and it's only a five-minute walk to the beach.
