Welcome to Crystal Sands, a beautifully updated Gulf-front condo offering effortless coastal living and unbeatable convenience. Perfectly positioned on the first floor, this private corner unit lets you skip the elevator and step directly onto the sugar-white sand. Inside, the open kitchen shines with crisp white cabinetry, granite countertops, and stainless steel appliances, creating the perfect space for cooking up beachside breakfasts or entertaining after a day on the water. The kitchen flows seamlessly into the inviting family room, where shiplap accents add coastal charm and two large sliding glass doors frame stunning Gulf views. Step outside to your private patio and enjoy front-row access to the emerald watersideal for morning coffee, sunset cocktails, or simply unwinding with the sound of the waves. The owner's suite offers a peaceful retreat with a shiplap feature wall and a newly remodeled en suite bathroom featuring a glass-enclosed tile shower that extends to the ceiling, a granite-topped vanity, and a convenient stackable washer and dryer. The double-entry bath design provides a private sink area for the owner's suite and a separate area for guests. Down the hall, built-in bunks add extra sleeping space, making this home a comfortable fit for family or guests. Crystal Sands is a highly sought-after Gulf-front community along Old Highway 98, featuring a sparkling pool, generous beach frontage, grill area, green space, and on-site management. With only 85 total units, residents enjoy low-density beachfront living where the sand is just steps from your door.
