About the property

Turnkey 3BR/2BA Beach House — Walk to Mexico Beach & Park

A short stroll from the sand, 235 Kim Kove is a thoughtfully updated coastal residence that blends comfortable daily living with strong vacation potential. This single-level beach house offers 3 bedrooms and 2 full baths across 1,897 square feet, refreshed with luxury vinyl plank floors and new paint throughout. The living area centers on a cozy fireplace and opens to a functional layout that makes entertaining effortless. The kitchen contains updated appliances and a layout designed for coastal living and easy cleanup after a day at the beach.

Major systems deliver peace of mind: the roof was replaced in 2021 and the home features a tankless water heater for steady hot water and improved efficiency. Outdoors, the generous 8,625 SF lot gives you a fully fenced backyard, a large patio and a charming pergola — perfect for evenings grilling, outdoor meals, or a private retreat after the beach. Landscaping has been refreshed for curb appeal and low maintenance.

Situated in a golf-cart friendly, no-HOA neighborhood, this property is an ideal full-time residence, seasonal home, or short-term rental (buyers should confirm local rental rules). Municipal Park is just around the corner with playgrounds, pickleball, tennis and basketball courts, picnic shelters, and convenient restroom facilities — and the Mexico Beach shoreline is an easy walk away. With turnkey condition and a location that buyers prioritize in this market, this house is ready to be enjoyed immediately.

Editorial market perspective

Mexico Beach is a compact coastal market within the Panama City MSA where turnkey, walk-to-beach homes command a premium and typically move faster than inland properties. Inventory is often limited, particularly for single-level homes that are updated and close to the shore. Median sale prices in the area have risen in recent years following the rebuilding cycle after 2018; current local trends show modest annual appreciation (low single digits) but stronger 3–5 year gains. Sellers receive significant interest from second-home buyers and short-term rental investors. For buyers, this market rewards homes with recent systems updates and curb-to-backyard usability. At the listed price of $548,000, 235 Kim Kove competes well among similar updated homes that trade in the mid-to-upper price tier for Mexico Beach.
