Gulf Crest Condominiums is a 22-story, gated oceanfront condominium completed in 2004 that primarily offers two-bedroom floor plans (many with an additional bunk area) spread across mid- to high-rise levels. The architecture favors wide wraparound balconies and large floor-to-ceiling windows to maximize Gulf views; many units feature 9-foot ceilings and tile or laminate flooring. Interiors typically include open living/dining layouts, kitchen islands or breakfast bars, solid-surface or cultured-marble countertops, custom raised-panel cabinetry, walk-in closets in primary suites, double-vanity baths, and upgraded showers or tub/shower combinations. Units frequently provide built-in appliances, instant hot water, intercom access and private entry foyers. Common exterior facilities are oriented to beachfront recreation: multiple heated outdoor pools, hot tubs, direct beach access, a dedicated tiki bar and grill area, covered patios, decking, outdoor showers, and dock access. On-site services and conveniences include a fitness room, owners’ lounge/game room, assigned covered parking in a garage, three high-speed elevators, sprinkler irrigation, and a staffed rental desk. Landscaping is tropical and the building is positioned on the quieter east end of Panama City Beach within walking distance of restaurants and a short drive to St. Andrew’s State Park, supporting a resortlike, family-oriented coastal lifestyle.
