Description

Gulf Front | Rare Deeded Land to the Water's Edge | No HOA! Welcome to The Palapa House, a Gulf-front residence positioned directly on the sugar-white sands of the Gulf of America, with deeded ownership extending to the water's edge. Fewer than 7% of Gulf-front parcels in Panama City Beach offer this level of private beachfront ownership, making opportunities like this exceptionally rare. Originally designed by the architects of Regency Towers, the home is positioned farther onto the beach than neighboring properties, ensuring unobstructed panoramic Gulf views to the east and west. Step from your back door onto your private stretch of beach or relax beneath the city-approved private Palapa, made possible by the extended property lines reaching the water's edge.
