El Mar Condos is a low-rise, two-story condominium community built in 1972 and positioned directly across the street from North Redington Beach. The complex contains mostly one- and two-bedroom residences with open floorplans, high ceilings, split-bedroom layouts, and modernized kitchens and baths that commonly feature shaker-style cabinetry, solid-surface or stone counters, stainless appliances, and in-unit washer/dryer setups. Many units have private outdoor space such as balconies, patios, or fenced yards plus sliding impact glass doors and abundant natural light. Common facilities emphasize casual coastal living: a rooftop deck with seating and grills, a small fitness center, a community pool/dipping pool, courtyard areas, outdoor shower and rinse stations, storage for bikes and kayaks, and an exterior pet spa. Site amenities also include gated or fenced garden spaces, irrigation and exterior lighting, private mailboxes, and additional storage rooms. Parking is limited and includes a small number of covered spots; the association manages exterior maintenance, insurance, reserves and utilities like water, sewer, trash, cable and Wi-Fi under a relatively low HOA fee. The property is pet-friendly with generally flexible rental rules, and the walkable location places restaurants, shops, local transit and waterfront access within a short distance, making the complex oriented toward beach-focused, low-maintenance ownership.
