Why 389 Confidence Way Might Be the Best Bay-front Value on the Emerald Coast Right Now
Every so often, a property arrives that redefines true value along the Emerald Coast. While so many buyers are fixated on the 30A corridor, this bayfront sanctuary in Southport’s Fanning Bayou offers something many people crave but cannot find—panoramic water views, deep-water access with a private boat lift and dock, and space rarely matched in this price range. Priced at just $278 per square foot, this custom-built 6,442 sq ft home offers an unheard-of value compared to 30A listings.
Where Waterfront Living Becomes Everyday Life
With deep water access, a private dock, and a boat lift, 389 Confidence Way is ideal for those who want to be on the water quickly and often. Whether it's fishing, cruising North Bay, or heading out to Shell Island, you can launch straight from your backyard.
The covered porch offers the perfect place to start your day with coffee at sunrise or wind down as the sun sets over the bay. Positioned to capture wide water views, the home allows you to enjoy the scenery from both inside and out.
This is the lifestyle many buyers dream about when they say they want to live on the water, and this one is turnkey, right here.
A Full-Service Entertaining Level with Game Room, Bar, and More
One of the most distinguishable features of 389 Confidence way is the stunning game room on the lower level. This is more than just a finished basement. An island bar, dining area, pool table, gym, space for indoor ball sports, and multiple TVs ideal for watching the big game make this space an entertainers' dream. With garage-style glass doors opening to the outdoors, it blends indoor comfort with breezy waterfront ambience.
Open Living Spaces Framed by Bay Views
The main level is designed for comfortable, everyday living with an open-concept layout and vaulted ceilings that take full advantage of the bayfront setting. A formal dining area flows into a cozy living room anchored by a gas fireplace wrapped in coastal shiplap. The chef’s kitchen includes double ovens, KitchenAid appliances, a walk-in pantry, and a wine bar — all positioned to enjoy natural light and sweeping water views through walls of windows
Flexible Bedroom Layout with Space for Everyone
This home offers seven bedrooms, four full baths, and one half bath. The main-level primary suite includes a spacious walk-in closet, dual quartz vanities, and a large walk-in shower. Also on the first floor is a guest bedroom that can easily serve as a home office, along with a full bath. Upstairs, five additional bedrooms and two full baths provide flexibility for family, guests, or multi-generational living. A generous bonus room and a second covered porch offer even more space to relax or entertain — especially as the sun sets over the bay.
Coastal Living with Everyday Access
Located near Northwest Florida Beaches International Airport, top-rated Bay County schools, and the vibrant shopping, dining, and boating destinations of Panama City and Panama City Beach, this home pairs everyday convenience with a waterfront lifestyle. Here, quiet mornings on the dock and seamless access to everything you need create a balance of serenity and connection that few home can match.
This is Emerald Coast living.
