Remarks & Misc

Remarks: Set directly on the sugar-white sands of the gulf, this fully renovated three-bedroom residence at Grande Surf Club offers the rare combination of exclusivity and coastal elegance. With just two residences per floor and a total of 28 units, the community ensures a level of privacy and tranquility that is increasingly hard to find along the Emerald Coast.

Inside, a 2023 renovation reimagined the layout with a spacious chef's kitchen featuring sleek cabinetry, quartz counters, and premium appliances, designed for both intimate meals and effortless entertaining. The living and dining areas flow seamlessly across new flooring, highlighted by a sophisticated coastal-inspired palette. The master suite opens directly to the balcony and gulf views, offering dual closets, two vanities, a soaking tub, and a separate tiled shower. Two additional bedrooms and bathroom create flexible accommodations for family and guests. A full-sized laundry room and abundant storage add convenience. Modern upgrades, including a new HVAC system, tankless water heater, water filtration system, and upgraded windows, ensure year-round comfort. Grande Surf Club itself is a secure, gated community with a gulf-front pool, sun deck, and direct beach access. Two deeded covered parking spaces are included. Located just moments from fine dining, boutique shopping, and the anticipated Tootsie's World Famous Orchid Lounge, this property is equally suited as a refined vacation retreat, a luxurious primary residence, or a legacy gulf-front investment.
