    What's special

    Beautifully renovated kitchenPrivate porchThree bedroomsPool deckDesigner furnishingsTwo covered parking spacesGulf-front residence
    Welcome to one of the most desirable Gulf-front residences in all of WaterColor. Perfectly positioned on the first level of this intimate beachfront condominium, Unit 8 offers an exceptionally rare combination of direct walk-out access to the building's exclusive Gulfside pool, immediate access to the sugar-white sands of the Emerald Coast, and breathtaking panoramic Gulf views--all within one of 30A's most prestigious resort communities. Unlike upper-floor residences, this home lives much like a true beachfront retreat, seamlessly blending indoor and outdoor living. Step directly from your private porch to the pool deck, then continue just a few steps farther to the beach, creating an effortless coastal lifestyle that is seldom found among luxury Gulf-front condominiums. Ideally positioned between WaterColor and Seaside, Residence 8 spans approximately 2,560 square feet across two levels and lives more like a beachfront home than a condominium. Showcasing sweeping Gulf of Mexico views, the residence features three bedrooms, three full bathrooms, and a bonus bunk room with custom bunks, creating the perfect layout for family enjoyment and strong rental performance. Extensively updated and offered fully furnished, the residence is truly turnkey. Recent improvements include a beautifully renovated kitchen, custom inset cabinetry throughout, upgraded countertops, designer furnishings, and brand-new windows and doors that enhance both aesthetics and functionality while maximizing natural light and Gulf views. Designed to embrace its extraordinary beachfront setting, the home features two spacious covered porches that provide multiple outdoor living and dining spaces overlooking the emerald waters and sugar-white sand beaches below. Whether enjoying a morning sunrise, afternoon sea breeze, or evening sunset, the expansive porches create a seamless connection between indoor and outdoor living. Owners enjoy exclusive access to the building's private gulf-side swimming pool just steps from the beach--an amenity rarely found along 30A. Further distinguishing this offering are two covered parking spaces and a dedicated exterior storage unit, providing a level of convenience seldom available in comparable gulf-front residences. Ownership includes access to WaterColor's unparalleled collection of resort amenities, including the iconic Gulf-front Beach Club, Camp WaterColor's pools, lazy river and waterslides, Western Lake paddleboarding and kayaking, tennis and pickleball courts, beautifully maintained parks, and miles of scenic walking and biking trails throughout the community. Currently operating as a successful vacation rental, this residence offers the flexibility of immediate income generation while serving as an exceptional second home or legacy family retreat. Combining one of the most desirable locations on 30A, panoramic Gulf views, extensive renovations, private pool access, two covered parking spaces, dedicated storage, and the unmatched WaterColor lifestyle, Residence 8 represents one of the rarest ownership opportunities currently available along the Emerald Coast.
