The Destin life awaits in this meticulously maintained and fully furnished condominium in East Pass Towers II. Enjoy the serene life with no short-term renters permitted in the building. This complex is located in Holiday Isle which is one of the most prestigious and sought after areas in the region. Wake up peering out to the Destin Harbor and step out onto the expansive balcony to enjoy your morning coffee while watching the boats navigate the harbor and marina. The complete gym is located on the same level just around the corner for that daily workout. Condo units in East Pass II do not become available very often, and you will appreciate the care and style of this condo throughout with newer wood-look floors, updated kitchen counter, stainless steel appliances, recent paint, new water heater, and new microwave. Lounge by the pool and watch the boats traverse the famous Destin Pass or swim at the beach on Norriego Point. Take a water taxi over to Destin Harbor and enjoy the live bands, exquisite food, and watch the boat captains unload their daily catch. Don't forget to get your front row seat along the sea wall and check out the weekly Destin fireworks. One assigned parking space in the parking garage, and one additional parking space in the parking lot.
A Word from the Owners of East Pass Towners II- Unit 126
First and foremost, we want to thank you for viewing our little slice of heaven; this is a special place here on Norriego Point in the heart of Destin. It's an extremely rare piece of property located on a peninsula with access and views of the Destin Harbor, East Pass, and the Gulf of Mexico; heck, you can basically reach out and touch Crab Island.
Choose from 4 bays/beaches as you walk the point on the white sands and take in the natural beauty of this magical place. A short walk down to O'Steen Beach and again you have more beautiful options of beaches to enjoy. If you are game and looking for more magic, just keep walking to the Gulf and walk the miles of white sand beaches until you can't anymore. We like to walk to Sand Piper Cove and grab a cool beverage and fish sandwich at the Beach Bar. We relax and meander our way back, taking in all the breathtaking sounds and sights along the amazing white sands that surround us.
If you don't want to walk on the white sands of our fabulous beaches, you can walk, take a golf cart, or bike along Gulf Shore Drive and access 3 different entry points (via key faub/code) to those same beaches; it's a great experience either way. We often call Patrick who owns and operates the water taxi service along with his faithful companion, Bella. With easy access to the marina across the street, we can cruise Destin Harbor to enjoy all the festivities & restaurants. Indulging yourself at the Louisiana Lagniappe Restaurant at the end of the harbor should be on everyone's to-do-list.
Important Points
-East Pass Towers II (EPTII) is primarily an owner-occupied building as opposed to East Pass Towers l (EPTI) which caters to vacationers and short-term renters. Why is this important? Because over here, we get to know our neighbors and it has a community feel rather than a hotel atmosphere.
-Privacy in our building is far superior.
-There are many noticeable amenity differences between the two buildings. From the gym, sauna, whirlpool, private pool, atriums, and social room (for parties, private events and meetings etc.) right down to our parking areas and garage. I would encourage anyone to walk around and see for yourself the comparison.
-The view of the Destin Harbor is gorgeous and we can watch the boating activities all day.
-The North and Northeast views provide some much-needed shade during summer months so you can enjoy the patio. Here's a fun fact: the sun here in Florida seeks you! So having the ability to relax in some shade is a bonus. If you want to take in some sun, walk out to our beautiful backyard and fill your boots, it's that easy!
-Winds seldom bother our ability to enjoy the balcony as they do not come from the north that often. Speaking of winds, the strong winds that come with the storms typically come from the Southwest, and once again our patio does not get blasted. This is something many people don't consider until they experience strong winds on their patio that face a different direction.
-The stairwell is conveniently located for quick and easy access up and down, as opposed to using the elevator, and our reserved parking space is literally just a few feet away from the stairwell.
-The condo comes with a storage space (4ft wide, 6ft deep, 9ft tall). Currently we have 2 kayaks, 6 beach chairs, 1 beach tent, 1 beach umbrella, 1 pressure washer, 1 bike and 5 fishing poles stored.
Coming this summer
-New balcony floors.
-New painting for all the railings.
Recent additions
-New water heater.
-New microwave
-New fan on balcony
Have a look around and know you are in the right place, a magical place that checks off many boxes and one that does not come available very often. Hope this helps & welcome to East Pass
Towers ll.
Thank you
