Set directly on the beach at Sterling Reef, this well-maintained Gulf-front condo combines panoramic views, a highly desirable floor plan with an enclosed bunk room, and a location that puts some of Panama City Beach's most popular attractions just minutes away. Positioned on the 8th floor, the elevation delivers something that's harder to find than you might expect -- open ocean sound without the noise of the beach crowd below. It's a meaningful difference in the daily experience of the unit. Designed for both personal enjoyment and vacation rental appeal, the floor plan includes two bedrooms, an enclosed bunk room, and two full baths, providing the flexibility to comfortably accommodate family and guests while maximizing sleeping capacity. From the kitchen and living area to the primary suite and private balcony, the Gulf remains the focal point throughout the condo. Floor-to-ceiling sliding glass doors maximize natural light while keeping the emerald waters front and center, creating a seamless connection between the interior living spaces and the beach beyond. The coastal-inspired interior has been meticulously maintained and thoughtfully updated -- new furniture, paint, and fixtures were added in 2021, new carpet in 2023, and new deck furniture in 2025 -- giving the unit a fresh, move-in-ready feel. Tile flooring throughout the main living areas makes upkeep easy after busy beach days. The spacious kitchen offers granite countertops, stainless steel appliances, and a breakfast bar that creates a natural gathering space for family and guests. Nine-foot ceilings enhance the sense of openness, while the gulf-front primary suite serves as a private retreat with direct balcony access and stunning water views. Sterling Reef continues to be a favorite among vacationers thanks to its beachfront setting, relaxed atmosphere, and extensive amenity package. Owners and guests enjoy direct beach access, a seasonally heated bi-level pool and spa, fitness center, activity center, sky terrace with grilling area, covered parking, and 24-hour security. Adding to the appeal is Sterling Reef's central Panama City Beach location. Shipwreck Island Waterpark sits directly across the street, making it a popular destination for families, while Pier Park, Frank Brown Park, golf courses, restaurants, shopping, entertainment, and local attractions are all just minutes away. Whether you're searching for a beachfront vacation home, a short-term rental investment property, or a combination of both, this gulf-front condo offers the views, layout, amenities, and location that continue to make Panama City Beach one of the area's most sought-after destinations.
