Beachfront living on Panama City Beach's tranquil east end
Seychelles Condominium, completed in 2006, stands as a prominent 22-story high-rise on the quieter east end of Panama City Beach. With 208 units, this Gulf-front property offers residents a prime location next to popular local haunts and natural attractions. The building's design maximizes views of the emerald waters and sugar-white sands that have made this stretch of the Florida Panhandle famous.
Diverse layouts with stunning Gulf views
Seychelles offers a range of floor plans to suit various needs, from cozy one-bedrooms to spacious three-bedroom units. The one-bedroom layouts, spanning 873 to 883 square feet, are available with one or two bathrooms and often include built-in hallway bunks, effectively functioning as two-bedroom units. These compact yet efficient spaces are priced from $420,000 to $510,000.
For those requiring more room, two-bedroom units range from 873 to 1,438 square feet, all featuring two full bathrooms. The largest offerings are the three-bedroom units, measuring between 1,378 and 1,427 square feet, with two to three bathrooms. These premium residences command prices from $678,998 to $899,000.
Many units boast recent upgrades, including sleek stainless steel appliances, quartz countertops, and custom cabinetry in kitchens. Bathrooms often feature modern vanities and custom tile work. Throughout the units, residents enjoy durable luxury vinyl plank flooring, crown molding, and fresh paint. Floor-to-ceiling windows and spacious balconies are standard, offering breathtaking views of the Gulf of Mexico.
A unique feature of Seychelles is that some units, particularly those in the '05 stack, offer Gulf-front master bedrooms - a highly coveted layout. These units provide unparalleled views and a true beachfront living experience.
Monthly HOA fees range from $500 to $1,300, covering a comprehensive list of services including management, cable TV, electricity, legal/accounting, ground maintenance, structural maintenance, phone, pool upkeep, security, trash removal, and water. This all-inclusive fee structure is a standout feature of Seychelles, as it's one of the few beachfront condos in the area that includes electricity in the HOA dues.
Resort-quality amenities with a focus on beachfront living
Seychelles Condominium offers an array of amenities designed to enhance the beachfront lifestyle. The property features two Gulf-front pools, one of which is seasonally heated, accompanied by relaxing hot tubs. These pools provide the perfect vantage point for enjoying the coastal scenery.
For fitness enthusiasts, an on-site fitness center is available, equipped with modern exercise machines. The property also includes a game room and a basketball court, offering diverse recreational options for residents and guests.
Beach access is a priority at Seychelles, with a dune walkover providing direct and convenient passage to the sandy shores. The condominium's 200 feet of private beachfront ensures ample space for sunbathing, beach games, or simply enjoying the sound of the waves.
Security and convenience are paramount, with features such as a gated parking garage, secured entrance to the building, and an enclosed walkover from the garage to the units. This setup allows residents to move from their vehicles to their homes without exposure to the elements - a particularly valuable feature during inclement weather.
For those using the property as a vacation rental, Seychelles offers on-site rental and property management services, simplifying the process for owners. A conference center is also available, catering to those who may need to mix business with their beach getaway.
The community room serves as a gathering space for residents, fostering a sense of community within the building. With its combination of leisure facilities, practical amenities, and attentive services, Seychelles provides a comprehensive package for comfortable beachfront living.
A serene coastal enclave with easy access to local attractions
Seychelles Condominium is situated in the Lower Grand Lagoon neighborhood, known for its relaxed atmosphere and proximity to both natural wonders and local hotspots. This area offers a perfect balance of tranquility and convenience, making it attractive to full-time residents, seasonal visitors, and vacation rental clients alike.
One of the neighborhood's crown jewels is St. Andrews State Park, located just a short distance from Seychelles. This 1,200-acre natural sanctuary provides residents with opportunities for hiking, bird watching, snorkeling, and surfing. The park's pristine beaches and nature trails offer a serene escape from the more bustling areas of Panama City Beach.
Food enthusiasts will appreciate the variety of dining options in the vicinity. Schooners, affectionately known as the "Last Local Beach Club," sits right next door to Seychelles. This popular spot is famous for its fresh seafood, particularly grouper, and hosts live music regularly. Other notable eateries within easy reach include Patches Pub, known for its Reuben sandwiches and lively atmosphere, and the upscale Grand Marlin, perfect for special occasions.
For those who enjoy cooking at home, Treasure Island Seafood Market is nearby, offering fresh, local ingredients. A Publix supermarket is also conveniently located across the Grand Lagoon Bridge in Upper Grand Lagoon.
The area comes alive with events throughout the year. October brings the Lobster Festival to Schooners, a four-day celebration featuring live music and lobster-themed specials. In November, residents can participate in the Annual Grand Lagoon Bloody Mary & Music Festival at the nearby Sheraton Panama City Beach Golf and Spa Resort.
Families with children will find quality educational options in the Bay District school system. Patronis Elementary, Surfside Middle, and J.R. Arnold High School serve the area, each offering unique programs and extracurricular activities to support student growth and development.
Lower Grand Lagoon's location provides a quieter alternative to the heart of Panama City Beach while still offering easy access to its attractions. This balance of serenity and convenience makes Seychelles an ideal home base for exploring all that the Florida Panhandle has to offer.
Strategic location with easy access to major routes
While the Lower Grand Lagoon area primarily caters to car owners, it offers a level of walkability that allows residents to enjoy some amenities on foot. The neighborhood's layout, with its grid network of residential streets, facilitates short walks to nearby attractions and dining establishments.
For longer journeys, Thomas Drive serves as the main artery in and out of the area. This road provides a more secluded feel compared to the busier stretches of Panama City Beach, contributing to the neighborhood's relaxed atmosphere. However, it still offers convenient access to the wider region.
Residents and visitors planning air travel will find Northwest Florida Beaches International Airport about a 40-minute drive away, approximately 23 miles from Seychelles. This proximity allows for relatively easy access to national and international destinations.
While public transportation options are limited in this area, the focus on private transportation aligns with the preferences of many residents and visitors to this upscale coastal community. The covered and secured parking at Seychelles, complete with a convenient walkover to the building, caters to car owners and enhances the overall living experience.
For those who enjoy cycling, the area offers some opportunities for bike rides, particularly along the quieter residential streets and nearby park areas. However, dedicated bike lanes are limited, so cyclists should exercise caution when venturing onto busier roads.
Overall, while not a hub of public transportation, Lower Grand Lagoon and Seychelles Condominium offer a transportation setup that caters well to its residents' needs, providing easy access to local attractions and wider regional destinations primarily through private vehicle use.
