Welcome to Castaway Castle! This is a newly remodeled, redecorated, and newly furnished Gulf and Harbor view home. It is absolutely fresh and stunning in the way it feels as a beach style vacation home. A Plantation styled estate with gorgeous sprawling staircase leads into luxurious appointments. This home has one of the most unique features of any Holiday Isle home. From almost any interior room or porch of this home, our guests have views of either the waters of the Destin Harbor, or the emerald green waters of the Gulf of Mexico. When the weather doesn't hold up enjoy brand new 4k UHD Smart TV's in every room of the house!

This luxurious beach vacation home is rich with Southern Plantation style architecture in its exterior design. This home’s interior styling, design, and layout is very open and airy, and it makes visiting and entertaining with a large group incredibly easy, and enjoyable with all of the open space and plentiful daylight streaming in the numerous floor and ceiling height windows in every room. The majestic 2 story southern style porches on the front of the house welcome guests with a grand white entry staircase and white wicker rocking chairs to relax in while feeling the ocean breezes that typically blow strong here at Magnolia Palms.

This gracious home rests upon a private estate sized lot with beautiful resort-like landscaping. This includes lush and mature palm trees and other seasonal flowers. This well- appointed vacation home has a heated pool with a large adjacent deck area, which gives our guests the option to recreate right here in relaxed luxury.

The huge open main floor great room area features a two story vaulted ceiling area with ceiling height windows which let in abundant daylight everywhere and provide unparalleled views of the Harbor!
