The Sun Club

A wooden boardwalk from the driveway leads straight to the sugar-white sands of Seagrove Beach, which sets the tone for just how close the coast feels here. The backyard is a proper gathering place – heated pool, splash deck, sitting spa, and a sand volleyball court all within the same fenced grounds. Gulf-view balconies on the upper floors are ideal for watching the sun drop over the water, and bikes plus a six-passenger vehicle are included for cruising 30A's beach towns. Seaside's open-air markets and restaurants are also within easy reach.

Home truths:
* Parking is available for six vehicles, though the garage is not available for your use.
* You'll need to bring your own beach and pool towels – bath towels and linens from the home are not permitted to be taken outside except for laundering.
* Between May and October, sea turtles nest on the beach here. You'll need to keep balcony and porch lights off at night and close the blinds to avoid disorienting hatchlings – it's a local rule enforced across the area, not just a suggestion.
* The lead guest must be at least 25 years old.
* At full occupancy, two guests will sleep on the sofa bed in the living area and two guests will sleep on the sofa bed in the carriage house.
* Bedrooms seven and eight are both arranged with queen-over-queen bunk beds.
