You know how most beachfront condos feel like someone’s second cousin decorated them in 1991 & now it's like a 90s time capsule? (See: Beanie Babies, Beepers & Y2k) This one’s the exception — in the best possible way. Welcome to Unit #1901 at Redington Towers: a 2-bedroom, 2-bath condo that doesn’t just check the boxes — it sets the bar. So many listings say “panoramic views” — and then deliver a sliver of water between two buildings. Yeah… not this one. From the moment you walk in, your eye is pulled straight across the Intracoastal, Punkin Key, Boca Ciega Bay, & beyond. Think: sunrise-over-the-water, boats-cruising-by, skyline-silhouetted-against-the-evening kind of views. You can even see the Gulf, a bit of downtown St. Pete, & the pink palace itself — the Don CeSar — all from your own private balcony. Bonus: no need to haul your beach chair across a busy street — just ride the elevator down & walk out to the sand. Inside? 1,345 square feet of thoughtfully updated, move-in-ready space that feels like a real home. The kitchen has been opened up and reimagined with clean lines, granite counters, and cabinets that don’t scream “builder grade.” The layout makes sense — whether you're fixing coffee for one or charcuterie for a crowd. The living and dining areas flow out to the balcony — your front-row seat to dolphins in the bay and fireworks on the Fourth. The flooring is a smart blend: wood-look ceramic plank tile in the foyer, kitchen, hall, main living areas, and balcony — and cozy carpet in both bedrooms for those who like to keep toes warm first thing. And let’s talk bedrooms: The primary suite is so large it could moonlight as a ballroom. (Okay, maybe not quite — but you’ll definitely have space for a king bed, reading nook, two dressers, and still do yoga without bumping into anything.) Plantation shutters open to sweeping water views, and the en suite bath features luxury tile flooring, a custom backsplash over a wide vanity, and a step-in shower wrapped in matching accent tile. There’s also a walk-in closet. The guest bedroom might just be the hidden star of the condo. It’s tucked away, peaceful, and styled so thoughtfully it feels like checking into your favorite boutique hotel. The palette is serene: powder blue, soft gray, and pale green with a cream headboard and matching furniture that echoes the shutters. The windows open to views of the Intracoastal and the Gulf — yes, both. Your guests may “forget” to leave. There’s a covered parking spot (no baking in the summer sun), hurricane-rated sliders and windows, plus storm shutters for peace of mind. Redington Towers is one of the best-run beachfront communities on the Barrier Islands. Milestone inspection? Done. Reserves? Strong. HOA that knows what it’s doing? Check. On-Site Manager? Check. Immaculate grounds? Check. Amenities? You’re covered: heated pool, beachfront access, fitness center, billiards, ping pong, party room, grilling areas, EV chargers, kayak storage, and a soon-to-be-renovated clubhouse that’s finally saying goodbye to 1983. Del Bello Park is across the street with a fishing dock, paddleboard launch, and shaded picnic spots. Grocery, pharmacy, and restaurants are minutes away — but good luck tearing yourself away from those water views. Whether you’re looking for a full-time home, a winter escape, or a seasonal getaway (3-month minimum rentals allowed), Unit 1901 is the kind of place people move to Florida for. And once you’re here? You won’t want to leave.
