The Space:

Salt air and Gulf breezes shape the rhythm of your stay as wide decks and shaded balconies invite slow mornings and relaxed evenings. From the gentle sound of waves to the easy flow between indoor and outdoor spaces, this coastal home is designed for connection, comfort, and unhurried time together along scenic 30A.



The layout

The property includes a main house and a private carriage house, offering ten bedrooms and eight baths across multiple levels. Sleeping arrangements span king beds, queen beds, twin beds, and custom bunk rooms, allowing large groups to spread out comfortably. King suites are located on several floors, some with private balconies, while bunk rooms feature queen-over-queen bunks, queen beds paired with bunks, and stacked twin XL bunks. Bathrooms include a mix of ensuite, shared, and detached layouts to support smoother mornings for larger groups.



Living spaces

Four separate living rooms create flexibility throughout the home. A first-floor living area with a kitchenette and wet bar opens directly to the courtyard, making it easy to move between indoor gathering and outdoor time. Upper-level living rooms feature seating areas, TVs, Gulf views, and balcony access. The carriage house adds privacy with its own living room and wraparound balcony.



Kitchen and dining

The main kitchen is equipped for group cooking and shared meals, with stainless steel appliances, a gas range, granite countertops, wine cooler, and two dishwashers. Bar seating and a large dining table support relaxed group dining. A second full kitchen in the carriage house, along with additional kitchenettes, makes coordinating meals across the property simple.



Outdoor living

At the center of the home, a private courtyard surrounds a pool that can be heated seasonally from October through May for an additional nightly fee. Outdoor furniture and a grill create an inviting space for afternoons by the pool and easy evenings together. Wraparound decks, screened porches, patios, and balconies throughout the property keep fresh air and Gulf breezes within reach.



Location and access

A public beach access is just steps away and includes parking, restrooms, and a wheelchair ramp. During peak season, lifeguards are on duty. A complimentary six-passenger, street-legal golf cart makes it easy to explore along 30A, with dining and shopping options nearby.
