Jinx McDonald Interior Design – Scott Drive

This extraordinary outdoor living sanctuary artfully fuses aesthetic beauty with intelligent design—crafted to host spirited gatherings of loved ones while indulging the desires of the devoted culinary aficionado. At its core lies a professional 42” Wolf gas grill equipped with supplementary burners and a deep fryer, complemented by an Evo circular flattop ideal for lively, interactive cooking. Discreet under-counter appliances—refrigerator, ice maker, and trash disposal—are seamlessly concealed within sleek, panel-ready NatureKast slab-front cabinetry in an Arctic Slate finish. Above, Black Vermont Riverwashed stone countertops frame an Anthracite single-bowl sink paired with a matte black pull-down faucet, effortlessly marrying style with utility.

Anchoring the kitchen, a commanding custom black nickel gap hood makes a dramatic impression against a luminous Pearl Wave tile backsplash, mirroring the dark, moody cabinetry in elegant contrast to the pale Shellstone flooring. The same black nickel detailing reemerges above the adjacent lounge, creating a harmonious design language throughout.
In the dining area, a ten-foot-long stone pedestal table stands as a sculptural centerpiece, encircled by eight nautical rope-wrapped chairs and flanked by five coordinating counter stools—ready to host cheerful feasts. The lounge encourages relaxation, offering a deep upholstered sectional and woven lounge chairs ideal for catching a game on the outdoor television, watching dolphins dance offshore, or basking in the vivid hues of a Gulf Coast sunset.

Just beyond, woven chaises under whimsical umbrellas line a breathtaking infinity-edge pool that appears to spill seamlessly into the Gulf. This aquatic haven features a sunken hot tub, a sun ledge with bubbling jets, and a captivating glass-tiled spillover wall, dramatically lit by fire bowls that flicker with enchantment at dusk.

Outside the master suite, a gently swaying daybed invites peaceful afternoon naps on the verandah beside a discreet outdoor shower. The expansive dock accommodates two boats and extends to a sunset viewing platform, culminating in a fully appointed fishing pavilion equipped with ample tackle storage and a dedicated fish cleaning station.
