1304 Ariola Dr, Pensacola Beach, FL, 32561
About This Home
Set along one of Pensacola Beach’s most desirable stretches of Gulf frontage, 1304 Ariola Drive offers a rare combination of beachfront scale, turnkey luxury, and thoughtfully curated interiors seldom found in this market. Completely reimagined in Spring 2021, this five-bedroom Gulf-front residence underwent an extensive renovation, transforming the home into a refined coastal retreat where elevated design and effortless comfort exist in equal measure. The kitchen was custom designed for both gathering and everyday living. A dramatic twelve-seat bar creates an extraordinary entertaining experience. The expansive island places the cooktop front and center to the water, allowing meals to be prepared against a backdrop of uninterrupted emerald coastline. Even the sink was intentionally positioned beneath an east-facing window overlooking a rare 90-foot easement, framing exceptional sunrise and Gulf views that elevate even the quietest moments. Throughout the residence, every detail reflects thoughtful execution—from five fully redesigned bathrooms and custom cabinetry to new windows, interior and exterior doors, elevated lighting, luxury textiles, and a carefully curated collection of designer furnishings and collected artwork. Expansive Gulf-front terraces create seamless indoor-outdoor living, anchored by an oversized main balcony overlooking the dunes with private walkover access to the sugar-white beach below. A private primary terrace offers a more intimate retreat, thoughtfully designed for quiet mornings and sunset evenings above the Gulf. 1304 Ariola presents a rare opportunity to acquire a fully furnished Gulf-front residence where exceptional interiors, extraordinary beachfront living, a lovely pool, and turnkey luxury come together in one of Pensacola Beach’s most sought-after locations.
