Softwind | Fall into the Beach

631 Hernando Place. This spacious gulf-front architect-designed home features an
open floor plan ideal for your family beach vacation. The living area has a soaring
ceiling, floor-to-ceiling glass windows and doors overlooking the beach. The cook's
kitchen is well-designed and well-equipped, with stainless steel appliances, gas
cooktop, large center island and quartz countertops. A spacious deck spans the entire
gulf-side of the home, with a center covered porch, two screened porches, and a private
boardwalk to the beach. A half-bath adjoins the main living area. For remote workers,
the home includes a dedicated work desk and high-speed wifi. There is an intimate
sitting area on the ground-level and a reading nook on the upper-level balcony.

The primary suite is on the main level, with a king bed, expansive glass doors open to
the screened, gulf-front porch. The ensuite bath includes a vanity with double sinks,
large bath with jetted tub and separate spacious shower for two.

There are four additional bedrooms on the top floor, located on either side of the
balcony which overlooks the living room below. Each is equipped with a closet, flat
screen TV, dresser and attached private vanity room. Bedroom 2 has full beach views, a
king bed and a desk for working if needed. Bedroom 3 has full beach views, a king bed
and a couch for relaxing. Bedrooms 4 and 5 each have two queen beds and garden
views. Adjoining the vanity rooms for BR 2 and 4 is a Jack&Jill bathroom with a walk-in
shower. Adjoining the vanity rooms for BR 3 and 5 is a Jack&Jill bathroom with a
tub/shower.

In addition to the home's 3 1/2 bathrooms on the main and upper levels, an additional
half-bath and an outdoor shower are located at the beach level, for easy access from
the beach and BBQ area.
Soft Wind is located in DeSoto Landing, a quiet, gated residential community with a
pool and tennis/pickleball court. The Dauphin Island Golf Course is adjacent to the
community.
