Hilton Home In Seacrest Beach - Paradise By The Sea

for years you used to be able to drive threw the neighborhood and now the gates locked. about 3 years ago i went threw the vacant lot near it and took ton of pictures from the beach. how much will the total be $30 mil?we call it the "boat house" as it looks like a huge cruise ship

I have loved watching it be built but have wondered whether it may eventually be used for scuba diving.

:rofl:

Sowal Member ParadiseSea has a great property in there across from Charlie Hilton's work of art. It may be the highest point in that whole area and has super strong views.

I think Paradise experiences a micro-climate. I understand there is a cavern just off shore that heads back in under the Hilton House. Check it out.

You can feel the front there hit you everytime when you pass on a motorcycle.

You work in a nursing home, I thought that made you senior staff?

wow, that's quite some progress! looks great! more pics please!!

Don't insult the classic television. Soap reruns are way better comedy than just about anything on the air today. And the alien abduction story arc was far ahead of its time.

Actually, Charlie lives in a double-wide mobile home in Bay County. His wife lives off of PCB Parkway back in one of those neighborhoods.

Actually, that is not true. He lives in a 2 story house in Colony Club in Panama City Beach. His house is very modest compared to his house in SoWal, but it is certainly not a trailer.

I enjoy looking at the house every time I o down 30-A. Indulge me with architecture!

updated pics anyone?

We keep referring to it as "Charlie's house," but I think that it is really his wife's. Charlie would probably be fine living in a shack.

Significant updates? Pictures anyone?

Same old same old.

Does anyone remember when construction started on this home? This thread is over 4 years old and the exterior looked pretty far along back then. It has to be 7 or 8 years in the making.

All I've seen going on for awhile now is the guest house construction.

According to the property appraisers website it was purchased in 1995 and I'm sure construction started shortly after that. Probably holds the record for longest construction project in Walton county.

i recall construction started at least 8 years ago

I can only associate it with a memory from summer of 2001 and it was well under way.

We moved into our house in July 2000. Construction on the Hilton house stared before we began to build.

Charlie's house is located in Seacrest, NOT Seacrest Beach. Seacrest Beach is the development across from Highpoint that is predominantly a short term rental resort. I live in Seacrest not far from the Hilton home. Unfortunately when the county came through with those big blue signs and "branded" all the neighborhoods with the word Beach, that only compounded the confusion. I am sure Charlie would not want you to confuse his neighborhood either.

I actually remain confused about this. Are High Pointe, Paradise By the Sea (Charlie's neighborhood) and Seacrest Beach North part of the traditional Seacrest? If so, how can that be if Alys Beach is in the middle? This is my only beef with Alys Beach.
