1200 Beach Drive lot: 1203, Gulfport, MS 39507

Twelve floors at Sienna on the Coast. This is the top one, and this unit sits dead center, so the Gulf fills the glass, wall to wall, with nothing cutting into the view. You feel it the moment the door opens. The floor plan is open, the windows run floor to ceiling, and the water is part of the room.

The dining area looks straight out at it, and the breakfast bar faces back into the kitchen, so the cook stays in the conversation. Then there is the covered balcony, big enough to actually use. Step out from the living room with your favorite drink, friends settling into the chairs around you, the Gulf breeze doing what no air conditioner can.

This is where the evenings go. The primary suite opens onto that same balcony, so the water is the first thing you see in the morning and the last at night. Soaking tub, separate shower, double vanity. The beach is a short walk away. Spend the day in the sun, then come back to a heated indoor pool and spa, an outdoor infinity pool, a hot tub, a sauna, a steam room, a fully equipped gym, and a putting green, all behind the gate.

A secure owner's locker on this same floor keeps the chairs, coolers, and umbrellas out of your closet. HOA dues cover water, sewer, internet, building insurance, security, pest control, and grounds. Pets welcome. Short-term rentals allowed. Live here full time, escape here on weekends, or let it earn while you are away.

Come stand on the balcony. That is the whole pitch. VA Buyers, one of the few condos on the coast that has been accepted without conditions for VA lending. Information deemed reliable but not guaranteed.
