8700 front beach road

Set within the gated grounds of Island Reserve, this first-floor residence offers an easygoing take on coastal living with the kind of convenience that is hard to overstate. Positioned just off the parking garage, the condo makes everyday arrivals refreshingly simple, whether unloading groceries, bringing in beach gear or pulling up just outside the patio from the interior road. Inside, 10-foot ceilings, crown molding and a thoughtful split-bedroom layout give the home an airy, comfortable feel suited to both entertaining and quiet retreat. The kitchen is designed for gathering, featuring stainless steel appliances, undercabinet lighting, abundant cabinetry and a generous island bar that anchors the main living space. Recent updates add further appeal, including HVAC replacement in November 2024, a water heater installed two years ago, newer vinyl plank flooring throughout with no carpet, fresh paint and updated vents and light bulbs throughout. Additional recent improvements include a new toilet in the primary bath, professional shower recaulking and cleaning, regrouted kitchen flooring and a deep cleaning that extended to blinds and baseboards. Both bedroom suites offer walk-in closets and direct patio access, creating a rare sense of privacy and connection to the outdoors. One bath includes a soaking tub and separate shower, while the second features a standalone shower. The spacious patio is framed by a colorful mix of shrubs and flowers, offering a more secluded setting for relaxing or sunbathing. Building 7 enjoys a particularly convenient location next to the amenities building and just moments from the community's lagoon-style pool, complete with waterfalls, a hot tub and splash pad. Owners also enjoy access to a modern fitness center, pickleball and basketball court, theater room, pool table and community gathering spaces, along with beautifully landscaped courtyards accented by lighted fountains. HOA dues include pest control and yard maintenance, adding to the ease of ownership. Less than two miles from the beach and close to restaurants, shopping and medical facilities, this golf cart-friendly residence also benefits from a lively social calendar and the added advantage of no short-term rentals. Move in, relax and enjoy.
