COMPLETE RENOVATED IN 2023 :
"Don't Wanna Leave" is located DIRECTLY ON THE BEACH - GULF FRONT IN THE BEACHFRONT WING IN THE TOWER at Pinnacle Port: a 26 acre beach resort tucked away at Carillon Beach at the western edge of Bay County, FL.

The unit is one of just a few that offers stunning gulf views from BOTH balconies and BOTH bedrooms. The resort sits gulf front on 26 acres located on a virtual peninsula: The Gulf of Mexico is on the South side, with Phillips Inlet on the West connecting to Lake Powell on the North. It's literally surrounded by water, dunes and a coastal dune lake.

The Condo: 
Our 2 bedroom, 2 and half bath beach condo has a wo story townhouse type floor plan, which allows plenty of room to spread out and find private spaces when you need to decompress, and was COMPLETELY renovated in 2023 - every single room, from ceiling to floor, and even the balconies. 

You'll LOVE the gulf-front bedroom with its WALL-OF-WATER view of the gulf and private balcony, complete with table and chairs for enjoying your morning coffee while watching the dolphins play or an afternoon/evening relaxing to the sounds of the surf. This bedroom also offers a King Size Thuma Bed, private bath, smart TV and closet to store your luggage. And don't worry about "staying connected": the condo has Wi-Fi.

Down the hall you'll find the guest bedroom and guest bath, which also has gulf views overlooking the western beach and the coastal dunes surrounding Phillip's Inlet and Lake Powell. This bedroom has a queen bed as well as a twin bunk, so it's perfect for a couple or as a kids bedroom. There is also a smart TV and closet for storage. There's a guest bathroom in the hallway with a tiled walk-in shower and plenty of HOT water.

Downstairs you'll find a fabulously appointed kitchen, impeccably furnished living room as well as a laundry room (full size stacked washer and dryer) and a half bath. The living room also has a lovely balcony with gulf views overlooking the western beach (this is where you'll see fabulous sunsets) and panoramic views of the Gulf, Phillip's Inlet, Lake Powell, Camp Helen, Inlet Beach and Rosemary Beach.

And while the resort itself is composed of condos - they're the only condo buildings around! To the west is Camp Helen and the seaside communities of Inlet Beach and Rosemary and to the east is Carillon, so the views are very seaside picturesque and there are no Panama City Beach or Destin type five-rows-deep crowds of people. With such a large beachfront footprint, there is plenty of room to pitch an umbrella or tent and claim your little piece of heaven!


Amenities:

The property has tons of activities to keep your family busy. The large pool (huge - 118,000 gallons) is attached to the tower building (where our condo is located) and sits Gulf-front so you can see and hear the waves while swimming or catching some rays on the sprawling gulf front pool deck (there's also a smaller pool across the parking lot from the mid-rise buildings.). And, if you're hungry, there's no need to go hunting for food: The Starfish Cafe (open during the summer season) is located right on the pool deck and serves a wide variety of food to make everyone happy.

Oh - and don't forget about Movie Night on the pool deck (summer season only) - completely free and open to all guests and owners. It's a bit like going to a drive in - on the beach! Each week a family friendly movie is shown (via a projector on a big blow up screen) on the pool deck - the sound is played through the pool side speaker system, giving a very "retro drive in" movie feel. The Cafe, which normally closes at 6, stays open late on movie night - so you can eat AND watch a movie with the kids.

A portion of the big pool at the Tower is enclosed by roof - great to enjoy cool waters if you've overexposed yourself (or the kiddos) to the sun - and also offers shelter on the rare rainy day. During the winter, this section of the pool is completely enclosed and heated to a comfortable 82 degrees.

One of the best amenities is the natural 880 acre Lake Powell. Bring your canoes or kayak to explore! A dock and boat slips are also accessible for Pinnacle Port guests.

There are also grills, a children's playground, tennis courts and even shuffleboard!

Additional Information:

* Near 30-A: Rosemary Beach, Seacrest, Seaside, Watercolor and Grayton are literally around the corner (the only thing separating Pinnacle Port from 30-A is Phillips Inlet/Lake Powell/Camp Helen). You'll love that you can enjoy all that 30-A has to offer, without the 30-A price tag (or crowds). How close is it? Rosemary Beach is your view from the west side of the condo (2.7 miles by vehicle).

* Panama City Beach is just 6 minutes to the East (Pier Park is just 8 miles down Highway 98).

* Destin is 30 minutes to the West (Silver Sands Outlet Mall is just 30 miles to the West). On a clear day - most days actually - you can see the Destin skyline on the horizon from the living room.

* It's inside a secluded, security patrolled beach community - shared with Carillon Beach, a planned community reminiscent of 30-A developments like Rosemary, Watercolor or Seaside. Its secluded area, while close to all the aforementioned tourist cities, is quiet and there are no city lights to compete with the backdrop of stars over the ocean at night.

* It's on the BEACH! No streets to cross, just walk out the building onto the beach. A nice, sandy HUGE beach.
