These were the five highest-priced home sales reported in Emerald Coast, Florida for the week ending November 8, 2026, and together they came to $28.321 million. Four of the five homes are in Inlet Beach and one is in Santa Rosa Beach, all of them in Walton County.
The group runs from a compact courtyard home built in 2018, the oldest of the five, to two homes with a 2026 construction date. Every one of them has a pool, and two of the homes, each with six bedrooms, sit within an easy walk of beach access.
No. 1 — $6,375,000 · 36 Sea Star Ct, Inlet Beach, Florida
The top sale of the week was a corner home in Alys Beach designed by architect Jason R. Dunham, and it sold for $6,375,000. The site sits where the Turtle Bale Pedestrian Path meets the community’s east-west pedestrian corridor, and like much of Alys Beach the home is built of block and concrete finished in stucco.
The home turns inward to a courtyard. A pool and a covered loggia occupy the outdoor space at its center, and a garden, a fountain and a summer kitchen fill out the courtyard beside the dining room. Inside, the great room rises two stories to its ceiling and has a gas fireplace. The kitchen has a 48-inch Wolf range and a large pantry, and it opens to that dining room. Floors are Dominican shellstone downstairs and stained oak upstairs.
There are four bedrooms and five bathrooms, four full and one half, in 3,773 square feet on a lot of 3,850 square feet, the smallest home and smallest lot among the five. The home has two primary suites. One is on the main level, and the other, upstairs, opens to a rooftop terrace. Ownership comes with access to the private owners’ Beach Club. The property last sold for $3.59 million in 2018.
Robbie Roberts of Alys Beach Properties Llc was the listing agent, and Ben R Bricken, also of Alys Beach Properties Llc, represented the buyer in the week’s top sale.

No. 2 — $6,220,000 · 525 Driftwood Point Rd, Santa Rosa Beach, Florida
On the bay in Driftwood Estates in Santa Rosa Beach, a new contemporary home sold furnished for $6,220,000. It stands on 1.19 acres, the largest lot of the week, with a seawall, a dock and a boat slip on the water and bay views from the property.
Much of the life of the home happens outdoors. A heated pool and spa sit in the backyard within a broad pool deck. Below the second-floor deck is a covered outdoor room with its own kitchen and fireplace, closed in by motorized screens. Above it, the deck itself covers about 800 square feet, with composite decking and glass railings that keep the view open.
The kitchen pairs Taj Mahal stone countertops with white oak cabinets and Sub-Zero and Wolf appliances, and a butler’s pantry has a wine wall. The primary suite has sliding doors directly to the pool and backyard, and its walk-in closet connects to the laundry room. The home also has a theater room, a bunk room and an elevator, along with an in-law suite that has its own kitchen, laundry and private balcony. In all there are five bedrooms and eight bathrooms, five full and three half, in 6,750 square feet, plus a three-car garage. The property last sold for $1.7 million in 2024, before the current home was built.
The home went under contract 16 days after it was listed. Spears Group and Jacob E Turley, both of Compass, were the listing agents, and Turley also represented the buyer, so the same agent was on both sides of the sale.

In the Watersound Camp Creek community in Inlet Beach, a permitted new home designed by Chris Stoyles of Archiscapes sold for $6,126,000.

The plans call for five bedrooms and eight bathrooms, six full and two half, in 6,729 square feet across two stories, on a 0.38-acre lot. There are two large living areas, one on each floor. A carriage house has its own bedroom, bath, walk-in closet and full kitchen. Outside are a pool and spa, a cabana and an outdoor kitchen, and the three-car garage leaves space for a golf cart.
