Gulf Front-private beach -west end unit- sunsets from unit!
The “Sandy Bottom” Gulf Front condo includes new furnishings, appliances, xtiled floors, and freshly painted walls. This is the perfect unit for newlyweds, honeymooners, or small families. This fully furnished, one bedroom condo sleeps 2-5(King bed, 2 hall bunks with curtain, and queen sleeper sofa) is a coveted west end unit of the small complex. This means it has unobstructed views of the ocean in front of the unit, and has the west end unobstructed panoramic view to observe the spectacular sunsets every evening from your private covered balcony; and even from within the condo itself! This unit is rented by owner…not a rental agency! This also means your check-in and check-out are right at the unit and you don’t have to find a rental agency to get the key.
The Sandy Bottom is unit # 16 in the Mistral, a very popular low rise 3 story 24 unit complex on Hwy 30-A, in the Seacrest Community. 30A is the highest point along the gulf coast and the stairs down to the beach is the trade for the spectacular gulf views. The complex is ideally located between Seaside Beach and Rosemary Beach and has incredible views of Destin to the west and Panama City Beach to the east. You are only minutes away from upscale shopping, golf, and wonderful restaurants. Unit #16 is on the second floor, which is the first floor that can see over the dunes to see the beach itself from the unit; and being the end unit, it is also right next to the condo's dedicated beach access. The Sandy Bottom is also now serviced by the new Panama City Beach Airport.
A 16.9 mile paved bike path crosses through the front of the property for those who want to visit the neighboring communities via bike, take a stroll, or go for a run in the mornings to start your day. Bike parking is provided at the complex, as are community charcoal grills for your use. The beach access comes complete with 2 showers so you can rinse yourself when you leave the beach and go to your private balcony for a relaxing view, nap, read a book, or just sit and listen to the waves.
Did I mention the condo comes fully furnished with full size washer and dryer, all linens, and of course a fully furnished kitchen, wireless high speed internet, DVD player, and 2 wall mounted smart TVs; just to name a few of the amenities?

We had a wonderful time at Diana's place. Beautiful views from the balcony, super convenient beach access, comfortable and clean accommodations. Location is great - close to Rosemary Beach as well as plenty of other restaurants and shops nearby. Grocery store is a short drive away. We loved our stay!
Good location and condo met our expectations but the amount of stairs were a little overwhelming for a couple in there early 70’s

I am glad the condo met all your expectations! As for the amount of steps to the beach 30A is the highest point along the gulf coast and the stairs are the trade off for the spectacular gulf front views. The Mistral Complex is located on a high bluff (as is the entire area) and as such is clearly shown in my photos for that reason.
Great beach view and easy access! Appreciated the ease of umbrella rentals and great property communication. A bit of a trek to most restaurants but overall a great place to stay!
The view was exactly what we needed during our spring break! A couple days were too windy for the beach so relaxing on the deck was the perfect option with the ocean views. The location was great and the venue was clean with a well stocked kitchen. Definitely would recommend and will be back.
The condo was clean and had all the amenities that we could want. The gulf front view is beautiful since the unit is on the west end of the complex. Would love to stay here again!
Beachfront property with great views, comfortable deck with two loungers and all the basics you need for a pleasant stay. Nice host and clear communication.thanks for a nice stay!

Thank you for such a kind review and I really enjoyed having a considerate renter like you! Look forward to having you again!
Our check-in was seamless, the unit was clean and well prepared. The view of the ocean and beach was perfect as well as the direct access and as short walk. Seacrest is perfectly nestled between the busier and crowded neighborhood beaches.
Everything was just great. We stayed just a long weekend. Condo had everything we needed. Communication with the owner was also perfect! Watched dolphins swim by each morning while drinking coffee on the deck. Private beach was great. No overcrowding at all!

I am so glad you enjoyed your visit there and look forward to your return!
I really enjoyed my week at this property. In addition to the wonderful view, I'll have to give it an A+ for the well stocked kitchen. I usually bring half my kitchen to the beach because many of these properties have just the bare essentials. This unit had everything I needed and then some. Great job!
Perfect location and immaculate !We have been fortunate over the past 10 years to try to get down to 30A least once a year. The condition of many rentals has varied widely. This was by far the cleanest, and most well cared for of any place we have stayed. Second floor location means you don’t have too many steps to walk up and nobody walks past your window on the way to the beach.The Kitchen had everything needed for a few days and then some. Garbage bags, dishwasher, pucks, paper towels, etc..There was a slight musty smell, but this is to be expected when your beach side. Thoroughly enjoyed our stay.
The location is lovely especially being a corner unit. We enjoyed sitting on the balcony and listening to the waves and watching the sunsets . We adjusted to the fact that there was no elevator but it maybe should be mentioned in the description.
This condo is fabulous! My husband and I spent a week here with our 4 kids. The place was spotless and Diana has thought of every detail. We had every kitchen item we could possibly need, games, books, beach chairs,- you name it. The view is absolutely amazing and the water is so close, you can hear the waves in the living room. We had a wonderful week and will definitely be back!!
The property owner sent a very detailed email prior to arrival giving instructions on parking pass, door code and departure from the condo. The condo was clean and well equipped (kitchen appliances, glassware, etc) for our needs during our stay. We will definitely return to this condo.
When I rent, the first thing I check is the deck: size, furniture, and unobstructed east-west view of the beach. It's a deal breaker if one of these comes up short. This condo gets a 4.9/5. I've been on larger but not better. Kitchen is well equipped. Furniture is practical for a beach house. Very clean and great owner communication. Perfect for a couple alone or with children.
This was the perfect place for our family of 4. Our 4 and 7 year old loved the hallway bunk beds. Rails for the bunk beds have been added which I didn’t initially see in the listing pictures. The private beach was fantastic to ensure our area was not over crowded and we loved sitting on the porch every morning and night. The little coffee shop across the street was such a fun bonus! We will definitely be back!

Why they chose this property
What makes this property unique
We believe we have the best of the best here at Mistral Condos. Our unit is the west end unit so sunsets are fantastic, and the unit is also on the second floor of the complex which has the best views of the beaches below...not just a view out some where into the water.
