East Pass Towers Condos

The East Pass Towers is a private gated condominium complex at the north end of Holiday Isle and the East Pass, the corridor from Destin to the Gulf of Mexico. These landmark buildings are the last development on Gulf Shore Drive before Norriego Point, a white-sand peninsula between the East Pass and the Destin Harbor. Buyers should also consider condos for sale in Waterview Towers, its next-door neighbor. You will love taking in all the sunsets, fireworks, dolphins, boats, and fabulous nighttime views of the Destin Harbor lights. It's also close to all the restaurants and shopping that Destin provides. If you are planning an Emerald Coast wedding, it may even offer a lovely backdrop for photos.

The project is composed of 2 buildings, but they do have similarities and differences. Tower I (100 Gulf Shore Dr) is six stories and was constructed in 1985 while the newer Tower II (110 Gulf Shore Dr) is seven stories and was built in 1996. There are 55 units in Tower 1 and 47 units in Tower 2. A combination of two and 3-bedroom floor plans are available. Interiors are bright with floor-to-ceiling windows, providing amazing unobstructed panoramic views of the Gulf, East Pass, Crab Island, and the Destin Harbor.

Community amenities include two seasonally heated waterfront pools and outdoor spas, beach access, and exercise rooms. Unique to Tower II is a well-furnished club room with a full kitchen, and its exercise room and indoor hot tub. About half the units in Tower I may be sold with a deeded reserved covered parking. Tower II has covered parking, but there are only six highly coveted garages that may be sold. Deepwater slips are available in the marina are conveniently located across the street. Slips are deeded and sold separately.

Real estate investors looking for income should only consider Tower I, which allows for short-term rentals. Tower II does not allow short-term rentals, which some owners seeking a primary residence may prefer. Owners in both towers may own pets, but be sure to examine the details in the association docs.
