8601 Surf Dr
Welcome to Grande Surf Club--an exclusive Gulf-front retreat where low-density living meets elevated coastal comfort. With only 28 residences and just two per floor, this intimate community offers a rare level of privacy along one of Panama City Beach's most desirable stretches of coastline. This west-end 3-bedroom, 2-bath residence features a spacious, open layout filled with natural light and a wraparound balcony showcasing sweeping coastline views from sunrise to sunset. From the tranquil jetties to the endless Gulf horizon, the backdrop is nothing short of spectacular. The expansive living area flows seamlessly to the balcony, creating the perfect setting for entertaining or simply relaxing to the sound of the waves. The Gulf-front primary suite serves as a private retreat with direct balcony access, dual walk-in closets, double vanities, a jetted soaking tub, and a separate tiled shower--designed for comfort and relaxation. A standout feature of this residence is the covered parking space located under the building, a highly desirable upgrade valued at approximately $50,000--offering both convenience and protection that many units simply do not have. Residents of Grande Surf Club enjoy a heated beachfront pool and a pristine, uncrowded shoreline just steps away. Despite the peaceful, tucked-away feel, you're just a short beach stroll from dining, entertainment, and the upcoming Tootsies venue--blending privacy with accessibility. Recent building enhancements include a complete exterior paint and seal (2024), new fire control system (2025), new domestic water pump, and all structural engineering and elevator inspections current as of 2025--providing confidence in the building's quality and upkeep. Whether you're seeking a full-time residence, second home, or investment opportunity, this is Gulf-front living at its best--refined, private, and truly hard to find in today's market.
