The Space:

Salt air drifts across wide decks as the Gulf stretches out in every direction, its color shifting with the light throughout the day. Mornings invite slow coffee on shaded balconies, while afternoons move easily between the pool courtyard and the beach just steps away. Evenings settle into relaxed conversations, warm breezes, and the steady sound of waves below the bluff.



The home is arranged to give large groups space to gather and room to spread out. Multiple living areas across the main house and carriage house create natural places to reconnect, whether you are sharing meals, watching a movie, or enjoying quiet downtime. Throughout the property, Gulf views, thoughtful layouts, and easy indoor-outdoor flow shape a stay that feels both social and unhurried.



Sleeping arrangements

This property offers ten bedrooms across the main house and a private carriage house, with a wide mix of king beds, queen beds, twin beds, and custom bunk rooms. King suites are positioned on multiple levels, some with private balconies overlooking the Gulf. Bunk rooms feature combinations of queen-over-queen bunks, queen beds paired with bunks, and stacked twin XL bunks. Bathrooms are a mix of ensuite, detached, and shared layouts, providing flexibility for larger groups without crowding morning routines.



Living spaces

Four separate living rooms allow everyone to find their own rhythm. On the first floor, a living area with a kitchenette and wet bar opens easily into the courtyard. Upper levels include additional living rooms with Gulf views, seating areas, flat screen TVs, and access to balconies. The carriage house adds even more privacy with its own living room and wraparound balcony.



Kitchen and dining

The main kitchen is set up for group cooking and shared meals, featuring granite countertops, stainless steel appliances, a gas range, wine cooler, and two dishwashers. Bar seating and a large dining table support long, leisurely dinners. A second full kitchen in the carriage house, along with additional kitchenettes, makes it easy to manage meals across a full house.



Outdoor living

At the center of the property, a private courtyard surrounds a heated pool that is available seasonally from October through May for an additional nightly fee. Lounge seating, outdoor furniture, and a grill area create an inviting space for relaxed afternoons and casual evenings. Wraparound decks, screened porches, patios, and balconies throughout the home provide constant access to fresh air and Gulf breezes.



Location and access

A brand-new public beach access is just steps from the property and includes parking, restrooms, and a wheelchair ramp. During peak season, lifeguards are on duty. A complimentary six-passenger street-legal golf cart makes exploring along 30A simple, and Gulf Place, Stinky’s Fish Camp, and other dining and shopping options are close by.
