1505 Salter Path Rd

A mid-rise oceanfront condominium complex built in 1985, Summer Winds is a five-story development of two- through four-bedroom residences arranged for direct coastal exposure. The architecture is typical of 1980s resort construction with stepped balustraded balconies, sliding-glass doors and generous windows to capture ocean and sound vistas. Units feature varied interior configurations—eat-in kitchens, kitchen islands, walk-in closets, tray or high ceilings in select homes—and a mix of original and updated finishes such as tile or LVP flooring, granite or solid-surface counters, and custom shelving in laundry areas. Common areas prioritize recreation and convenience: multiple outdoor pools plus a heated indoor pool and hot tub, racquetball and tennis courts, a fitness room, arcade/game spaces, seasonal snack bar/cafe, and gated entry with cluster mailboxes. Practical amenities include elevators, covered parking and exterior storage closets for beach gear, outdoor showers and grills, storm shutters, and an irrigation system. Units are often furnished turnkey for vacation use and many have been maintained as second homes rather than long-term rentals. The complex sits directly on the beach in Atlantic Beach, with multiple shoreline access points, nearby boat storage and ready access to local shops and island services, creating a strong year-round or seasonal resort-living environment.
