Property Description
Imagine waking up to the gentle rhythm of emerald waves crashing on sugar-white sand, the morning sun casting a warm golden glow across your private Gulf-front balcony. Welcome to Sunbird Resort #309E--a refined 3rd floor sanctuary where effortless coastal tranquility meets the vibrant energy of Panama City Beach. Stepping into this coastal haven, you're immediately embraced by an open, light-filled layout where thoughtful finishes and curated beach aesthetics set the stage for total relaxation. Whether you're preparing fresh local seafood in the gourmet kitchen--outfitted with sleek stainless steel, granite counters, and custom tile detailing--or indulging in a crisp, spa-like glass shower after a long day on the water, every detail has been thoughtfully crafted to pamper. Unwind as evening falls with a glass of wine on your balcony, watching the sky shift into brilliant hues of pink and orange over the sparkling pool decks and gulf waters below. With space to comfortably host four guests between the serene master queen suite with stand up tiles shower and living room sleeper sofa, #309E is as perfect for intimate escapes as it is for high-performing, turnkey investment returns. Experience the Sunbird Lifestyle: • 3rd Floor, Front-Row Ocean Views: Private Gulf-front balcony directly overlooking the shimmering pools and emerald waters. • Boutique Oceanfront Feel: A coveted low-rise community atmosphere offering quick, hassle-free beach access without long elevator waits. • Resort-Style Amenities: Dive into three distinct beachfront pools, stay active in the fitness center, or stroll next door to the iconic Pineapple Willy's for live music and famous seaside dining. Whether you're seeking your personal beach escape, or a high-performing short-term rental property in a proven market, Sunbird #309E captures the true essence of living on island time. BONUS: New water heater installed November 2026, new LVP floors, barn door & more!
