More about Capitano
Capitano is the largest beachfront home in Destiny by the Sea. With 8,800 square feet of exceptional living space, expansive balconies overlooking the Gulf of Mexico, a rooftop deck, and awe-inspiring architecture, this unique showplace is nothing short of magnificent. Luxury finishings and features include a free-standing balustrade curved staircase, Corinthian columns, and marble and granite countertops. Each room boasts a beautiful view of the Gulf or the nearby lake and provides comfortable sleeping arrangements for all guests. With all of the features and amenities this home has to offer, extravagant, coastal living will be right at your fingertips.

Step inside through grand double doors and sparkling travertine stone floors, crystal chandeliers, and glass balcony doors boasting Gulf views will invite you in. You will be taken aback by the luxurious living area with a large sectional sofa and two swivel chairs surround a 60” flat-screen television and an electric fireplace. A bar with a mini-fridge and sink makes entertaining a breeze. Enjoy an extravagant meal at the large, wooden dining room table that seats eight guests. Additional bar seating for three can be found at the kitchen island. Guests who cook in this luxury kitchen will be astounded by how spacious and accommodating it is. With granite countertops, an exceptional amount of cabinet space, and top-of-the-line decor and Kitchenaid appliances, you are sure to have everything you need and more! The kitchen also provides two coffee pots and a spacious french-door refrigerator. Just off the living room is a newly renovated game room complete with a brand new pool table, flat-screen TV, and an electric fireplace. This room also has access to the pool deck where guests can enjoy a dip in the pool and spa tub while enjoying marvelous views of the Gulf of Mexico.

A king bedroom is located on the first floor and shares a bathroom with the main living area. This room provides its guests with convenience to the main living space and features an electric fireplace and private access to the front patio. Make your way up the extravagant staircase to the second floor where four bedrooms reside. Two king suites provide guests with a private bathroom, fireplace, and access to the shared, Gulf front balcony with its amazing views! The double queen suite is perfect for children or couples and is furnished with two queen beds, an electric fireplace and a private bathroom with a jetted tub. This room also has access to the shared balcony with an additional private balcony. A bunk room provides guests with two twin-over-full bunk beds, a flat-screen TV over the fireplace, a sitting area, walk-in closet, and a private bathroom. In the hallway, guests can enjoy the convenience of a bar with a mini-fridge, coffee pot, and a sink as well as a laundry closet with a Whirlpool washer and dryer.

The greatest room in the Capitano mansion is the grand master suite which takes up the entire third floor of the home. Featuring stunning, panoramic Gulf views, a private sitting room, and a lustrous bathroom, this part of the home is the creme de la creme. The king bed faces the Gulf directly and provides stunning views through a wall of glass double doors. A two-way fireplace caters to the bedroom as well as the sitting area that comes complete with a sofa, small table, and a full bar with a mini-fridge, coffee pot, and sink. Just off the sitting area is a private office that faces the Gulf head-on. Walk through double doors into the master bathroom that provides guests with a jetted tub with Gulf views, a standalone shower complete with a rainfall showerhead as well as a shower detachment, and a water-closet with a bidet. The walk-in closet presents built-in shelving on every wall and ample space for clothing and shoes.

A guest suite is also located on the fourth-floor rooftop deck and is furnished with a king bed, a full bar with a mini-fridge, ice-maker, and coffee pot, and shares a bathroom with the rooftop deck. The rooftop deck is where guests can enjoy the best views in the house! Whether you're relaxing on the elevated rooftop or entertaining guests at the built-in bar, this space will be used daily. Sunsets and evening views are unlike any other and you'll find that perhaps days spent close to the ocean, and nights under the stars are what will make you feel the richest. Experience luxury coastal living at Capitano!

*An additional pool heat fee is required for use of the spa tub or to heat the pool, and must be arranged in advance of your stay.
**Fireplaces are a seasonal feature that can only be utilized from October through April. Fireplaces will not be in working order from May to September.

Capitano - great house (needs significant maintenance), great location, management co was no help
Capitano - Destin by the Sea just a few points to consider. I stopped keeping track. Exhausting… long story short it’s an amazing property not being maintained appropriately. The owners and management company should be embarrassed this is rented at a premium with so many things wrong and a management company that is non-existent to help.  Directions to get in the house should include that combination pad is in the garage on the entry door to the house. It does say that the kaba lock is through the garage if you know what a kaba lock is then you will be one. Not sure why batteries in smoke detectors would ever start beeping in a home that is properly maintained. Just change them once a year and you won’t get an emergency call at 9pm at night to come out.  Sink in downstairs bath won’t stop dripping. Sing in Master won’t drain properly. Fireplace in main room doesn’t work. Pool auto fill doesn’t work. We kept the hose in the pool to keep it full enough not to burn the pump up. 2 of the seven bedrooms do not have showers. This is not disclosed in the material but can be a rather large inconvenience if your party is all adults. Elevator inside door has severe pinch to sever of fingers risk. There is a “handle” that collapses as the door closes. Fingers in the wrong place and major cut! I found out the hard way! This is a safety violation that in a business would be fined by OSHA Coloring on stairs wall near 4th level. Stove top exhaust not working severely limits what you can cook inside. Tile busted inside bedroom 2nd level. Shutters unhooked or hooks missing in several bedrooms. Top level out door wet bar is badly damaged on backside. Inside of elevator is a mess. Control panel is loose, phone compartment won’t close, squeaks like crazy, inside door insulation is just nasty and non existent on 4th level. Railing around pool dented Automatic blinds need adjustment. Some lay on the floor when down. 2nd floor middle bedroom shower on/off is very loose Air conditioners seem to over cool. Hard to keep house a consistent temperature Baseboard not secured in kitchen at base of stove There really should be a broom and vacuum cleaner in the house. Not enough letters left in review to list everything wrong! We left a day early.

Beautiful beach week for 7 cousins & spouses.
We had a great time at Capitano. The beach was wonderful, the restaurant next door great & our place was opulent. We enjoyed the big kitchen, great bar & the pool table. Thank goodness we paid for heating of the pool, the cool weather kept us in the warm pool & hot tub. All 14 of us had fun & made precious memories! I would suggest a detailed book on how to operate all the lights, various doors, stove, oven & fireplaces. We had several fire places that are not currently operable & would have helped warm our bedrooms during the unusual cold snap in FL. Our 6th annual cousin beach week in now in the books! Thanks for the great home!

Fall beach vacation
Destin, the beach and the house are just amazingly beautiful and fun!! We all loved this gorgeous home with the private beach right down the back steps, the pool with hot tub was an added bonus that the kids really enjoyed along with the pool table entertainment room :) this property did not disappoint from the views, the easy access to the beach activities, shopping and food!! The furnishings were high end, gorgeous, comfortable and the multiple floors provide ample space for everyone to spread out or gather. We can’t wait to plan our trip to come back soon and thank you so much for sharing this lovely home with our family! Cory & Tina
