About this home
LOWEST PRICED and one of the LOWEST HOA's of all the 3 Bedroom / 3 Bathroom condos located on the beach!!! This unbelievable condo has been loved by the same family for 27 years, and now that they are starting a new chapter in life, they are offering it up at a once in a lifetime price! Let's look at the facts...
Maximizing rental income starts with one basic concept - maximizing ''Heads in Beds.'' And when it comes to ensuring incredible occupancy rates, this unit offers all the key amenities renters look for when booking their vacation: View, Location, Complex Amenities, and Price. VIEW: Most people come to PCB for the breathtaking Gulf views, and being just a few short feet to your very own private Beach Access - this condo does not disappoint. What they don't expect is to also have an incredible view over an expansive courtyard that is so well manicured, including a beautiful Koi/Turtle pond.
Sugar Beach is the only place on the beach with views like this, and they are truly unforgettable... LOCATION: After watching some of the world's most awe-inspiring sunsets, simply head out your front door and experience the legendary action of Thomas Drive. If you don't want to drive to dinner, rest assured knowing that your vehicle is safely parked right outside - and there is no need to drive anywhere to enjoy the best that PCB has to offer.
Located on the coveted East end of the beach (considerably less traffic), there are go cart tracks, arcades, mini golf courses, thrill rides, ice cream shops, a winery, souvenir shops, etc. - directly in front of the property. For the adults, there are numerous bars/restaurants, and countless options for live music, right outside your door - including the Famous Ms.
Newby's and the all new and Wildly Popular Tootsie's Honkytonk (with big name country music stars performing regularly)! No need to drive after those adult beverages, your condo is perfectly located just a few seconds away! Yep...
talk about KILLER location!!! AMMENITIES: Success in business is all about Competitive Advantage, and Sugar Beach offers something that differentiates itself from everyone else in PCB... It is one of the only PET FRIENDLY Gulf-front rental destinations in the entire area.
Years of market data shows that pet friendly options bring a higher nightly rate, have a better vacancy rate, and are more likely to attract ''snowbirds'' during the off season, so you have true competitive advantage with this one. In addition to being pet friendly, Sugar Beach is a private/welcoming gated community with no elevators. The list of Gulf Front complexes where you can park directly at your door are few and far between, but Sugar Beach offers exactly that!
It also offers a private gated beach access, a pool, huge clubhouse with games, tennis/pickleball courts, shuffleboard, a grilling area, over 375 feet of incredible beach access, and expansive greenspace unique from every other Gulf Front property in PCB! PRICE: Last but not CERTAINLY not least, renters pick their vacation condo based on price. With a low selling price, low utility costs, and some of the lowest HOA's of all the competition, you have less overhead which ensures that you can charge less per night (as compared to the competition), bringing in strong rentals and generating an incredible profit!
The average 3 bedroom in Sugar Beach brings in over $60k annually in rentals, and some of the well-established ones bring in over $80k. At the high end your annual ROI would be well over 10% - which is unheard of nowadays. And with over $90k invested in updates over the last few years, it simply doesn't get any better than this!
Updates include: All new kitchen cabinets and counter tops, HVAC, water heater, electrical panel, shower inserts, LVP flooring in bedrooms, couch and loveseat, and all new hurricane sliding doors and windows. Welcome to Paradise!!!

Property taxes
✓ Certified tax roll · county-average rateProperty taxes in Florida are reassessed after a sale, so a buyer’s first full-year bill can be higher than the seller’s. Budget from this estimate, not the current bill, before you make an offer.
Most of this comes from Florida’s Save Our Homes assessment cap resetting when the home sells — the current owner’s protected assessment does not transfer to a new buyer.
Certified 2025 tax roll values for this parcel (Florida DOR). The roll gives values, not the bill; the current owner’s bill above is estimated from the taxable value.

What it really costs to own 8727 Thomas Drive B6
The parts of the monthly number a mortgage calculator leaves out, from this listing's MLS record, the county tax roll, Citizens and FEMA. Property facts only.
| Property tax | The current owner's bill is about $4,075/yr (certified county roll, taxable value × millage). Buy at the asking price of $460,000 and the first-year bill resets to about $5,025/yr (the parcel is matched to the certified roll; asking price less the $50,000 homestead exemption × 12.28 mills (county-average millage, estimate)); Save Our Homes caps later increases at 3%/yr. |
|---|---|
| HOA dues | $935/month per the listing record. Dues cover what the association documents say they cover; ask for the budget and reserve study before you close. |
| Home and flood insurance | The average Citizens Property Insurance premium in Bay County is $1,928/yr (1,264 policies, Citizens detail by county, April 2026); private-market quotes differ by roof age, wind mitigation and distance to the coast. The page's modeled range for this home is $2,000–$4,500/yr; neither is a quote. Flood: this address maps to FEMA zone VE, a high-risk zone where flood insurance is required with a federally backed mortgage. Statewide, a zone A/AE/VE flood policy runs about $1,200–$2,500/yr (FEMA Risk Rating 2.0 averages, not a quote). |
| Roof and age | Built in 1974. An original roof would be about 52 years old; under Florida's 2022 reform (SB 2-D) carriers may require an inspection past 15 years, so budget for a roof report and ask for the roof permit date. |
Estimated carrying cost at the asking price, before the mortgage: about $1,514/month (tax $419, HOA $935, insurance $161). An estimate from the sources above, not a quote; the monthly-cost calculator on this page adds the loan.

Buyer research checklist
Items worth confirming for 8727 Thomas Drive B6, chosen from what the record shows. This is general guidance, not advice about this specific property.
- Built in 1974 (52 years): ask for the roof and HVAC replacement dates — insurers commonly ask for roof age on homes this old, and it changes the premium.
- Condominium: request the association's budget, reserves, the most recent milestone or structural inspection report, and two years of meeting minutes before relying on the dues.
- FEMA flood zone VE: lenders generally require flood insurance here — get an elevation certificate and a flood quote before the inspection period ends.
- Get a homeowners insurance quote for this specific address in Bay County; a wind-mitigation inspection and, on older homes, a four-point inspection can change the premium.
- Confirm square footage and room dimensions independently.
- Order a survey to confirm lot boundaries and easements.
- Review permit history with the county.
- Property taxes: the estimate on this page (about $5,025/yr) assumes reassessment at the list price less the homestead exemption. Estimated buyer taxes are about $950 more per year than the current owner’s estimated bill (+23%). Exemptions and portability change the actual bill — confirm with the county property appraiser.
- Confirm school zoning directly with the district.

Frequently asked questions
How big is 8727 Thomas Drive B6 and when was it built?
Per the listing record, 8727 Thomas Drive B6 was built in 1974 and has 3 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms. Living area and lot size come from the MLS record and should be verified against the county property appraiser.
What community is 8727 Thomas Drive B6 in?
8727 Thomas Drive B6 is in Sugar Beach Condo in Panama City, Bay County. Too few comparable closed sales exist nearby for this page to show local sales statistics; a licensed agent can prepare a comparative market analysis.
Does 8727 Thomas Drive B6 have an HOA, and how much are the dues?
The listing reports HOA dues of $935 per month. Dues, what they cover, and the community's rules should be confirmed from the association's current documents before relying on them.
Why might property taxes on 8727 Thomas Drive B6 differ from the current owner's?
The estimate on this page (about $5,025 per year) assumes reassessment at the list price less the homestead exemption. Estimated buyer taxes are about $950 more per year than the current owner’s estimated bill (+23%). Florida reassesses a home after it sells; for a homesteaded seller the Save Our Homes cap on their assessment does not transfer, and a buyer's own exemptions and portability are applied separately, so the two bills usually differ. Any tax figure shown here is an estimate, not the actual bill — confirm with the county property appraiser and tax collector.
Is 8727 Thomas Drive B6 in a flood zone?
The FEMA flood map places this parcel in Zone VE, a special flood hazard area where lenders generally require flood insurance on a mortgaged purchase. Confirm the parcel's status with FEMA and your insurer, and ask for an elevation certificate.
Can I rely on the figures on this page?
No. Estimated taxes, insurance, payments, and any market or comparable-sales summary are opinions and estimates for general information only and should not be relied upon. Verify all information independently before making any decision.
