Tower Watch on the Gulf

Few beach houses on 30A offer quite this much vertical drama. Climb to the wraparound rooftop deck and lookout tower and you're rewarded with sweeping views across the Gulf and Scenic 30A – a vantage point that earns its place as the home's centrepiece. Back at ground level, a private pool terrace and screened dining porch make outdoor living easy, while a tranquil courtyard with fountains gives large groups somewhere quieter to decompress. Private beach access puts the water within easy reach, and beach chairs and an umbrella are included from 1st March to 31st October.

Home truths:
* A beach service set – two chairs and one umbrella – is included for stays from 1st March to 31st October.
* You'll have three designated parking spaces here, and the community security gate will only admit three vehicles – no exceptions, even for a quick drop-off. If you're travelling as a larger group with more cars, you'll need to make alternative arrangements before you arrive.
* The lead guest must be at least 25 years old.
* There is active construction nearby, so you may notice some noise during the day during your stay.
