Luxury Retreat with Heated Pool & Retractable Glass Walls

When Luxury Becomes Personal

Sapphire Serenity is different. The owners built this Holmes Beach home as their perfect island retreat—spending years designing every detail, installing prosumer appliances and resort amenities. This wasn't built for guests. It was built for them. Now available to discerning guests who appreciate uncompromising quality. Debuting December 2025 as a 2-bedroom, Bonus Room and 3-bathroom luxury home (2,181 sq ft). Monthly stays only.

Resort-Style Heated Pool with three cascading water walls.

The heated pool features stunning blue and white mosaic tile, dual cascading water walls, built-in loungers, and a sun shelf. Mature palm grove creates absolute privacy—towering palms and tropical foliage block all sightlines. You're in a residential neighborhood, but the yard feels like a private botanical garden.

Retractable Glass Walls: The Signature Feature

The entire glass wall separating the great room (26'2" x 17'7") from the pool area retracts completely. Open this glass wall and inside and outside become one flowing space. One side opens to the heated pool, the other reveals a covered patio with retractable awning and professional gas grill.

Inside: turquoise walls, white leather power recliners with USB charging, enormous TV, travertine-style tile flowing to the pool deck. The built-in wet bar features full-size refrigerator, freezer drawer, bar sink, and bar dishwasher—thoughtfulness that only happens when owners design for themselves.

The Chef's Kitchen

Professional-grade gas range delivers commercial-level performance. Prosumer appliances throughout. Pearl iridescent mosaic tile backsplash, dark granite countertops, curved island with electric blue LED under-lighting. Second galley-style prep area with beverage refrigerator. This kitchen was designed by people who cook, for people who cook.

Living & Dining Spaces

Formal living room features white leather seating, modern linear electric fireplace, and striking coffered ceiling with custom millwork. Soft aqua walls and geode-style artwork.

Formal dining room makes a bold statement with coral-salmon walls. Glass-top table with palm-leaf carved chairs seats 6-8. Turquoise hibiscus area rug and Tiffany-style pendant lighting.

Covered outdoor patio provides another entertaining zone—perfect for morning coffee or evening cocktails.
