1601 Ocean Dr S

An 11-story oceanfront condominium complex built in 1974, this mid-rise concrete block property presents primarily two- and three-bedroom residences configured for coastal living. Units generally feature open floorplans, eat-in kitchens or breakfast bars, built-in storage, split-bedroom layouts, and a mix of bathroom types including separate shower and tub arrangements. Many homes open onto long covered balconies and include impact windows, storm shutters, and outdoor showers to support year-round beach access. Common spaces emphasize recreation and convenience: multiple elevators, three oceanside pools, a fitness center, shared sauna, party/club room, guest suite, and secure direct beach access via a gated walkover. The building offers garage and reserved parking plus assigned storage and limited bike storage. Maintenance covers water and sewer in some units; the association has undertaken capital renovation work and offers certain club membership initiation fee programs with regional private clubs. Located in the heart of Jacksonville Beach, the property is within walking distance of restaurants, shops, and medical services, delivering a resortlike, active-shoreline lifestyle with the practical resilience features expected for a beachfront building.
