About this place

Luxury waterfront 5 BR 4 BA Mandalay Manor is nestled between Sunset Beach & Fred Howard Park. Perfect for corporate retreats & couples getaways.

Welcome to Mandalay Manor, an exclusive, Gulf-front multi-million dollar estate just a couple minutes from Sunset Beach and Fred Howard Park Beach by car. Enjoy the multiple private outdoor lounges where you can soak up the sun before jumping in the heated saltwater pool to cool off.
