Platted bayfront building lot with outstanding views of the head of St Joseph's Bay and Black's Island.

A portion of the flood zone is AE and VE. The Villa Del Sol HOA would consider membership for access to amenities. Some dimensions were obtained via the Gulf County Property Appraiser's website.

This 2-bedroom lockout stands out as one of the best value opportunities in the building, offering the kind of flexibility today's buyers are actively looking for.

The layout is ideal for a ''condo hack'' strategy, similar to house hacking. With a full 1-bedroom suite connected to a private studio--each with its own entrance--owners can stay in one side while renting the other to help offset ownership costs. You also have the option to rent both sides independently or together, giving you multiple ways to adapt to demand and maximize use.

The interior corridor design adds another layer of convenience and privacy, allowing each side to feel separate while still being part of one cohesive unit. This setup also works well for co-ownership, giving two buyers the ability to share the investment while maintaining their own space.

Positioned on the 8th floor, the unit hits the ideal height--high enough to offer privacy from the pool terrace while capturing wide, unobstructed sunset views for miles from the spacious L-shaped corner balcony. It's that perfect middle ground: elevated views without feeling too far removed.

Located just one floor above the amenity level, owners and guests enjoy easy access via the corner east elevator, along with close proximity to parking for seamless arrivals and departures.

Origin is one of the only interior-entry condominium buildings in the area, designed with comfort in mind. Heated and cooled corridors provide a true hotel-style experience without exposure to the elements, complemented by secure, gated entry. The building's West Indies-inspired architecture adds a distinctive, upscale coastal feel, and the ongoing lobby renovation will introduce a brighter, more modern arrival space.

Resort-style amenities include a heated pool, Gulf-view fitness center, private theater, game room, observation decks, covered parking, and 24-hour security. On-site conveniences make day-to-day stays even easier, with retail, dining, and convenience stores located right in the building--including Starbucks and grab-and-go essentials.

All of this is within walking distance to popular local spots like Sharky's, Señor Frog's, and Moe's BBQ, along with Gulf-front dining, live music, and just minutes from Pier Park.
