Description Western Lake Abode: Santa Rosa Beach

Positioned along the shores of Western Lake and just a five-minute walk to the beach, this Florida home earns its place on 30A through sheer versatility. More than 2,000 square feet of wraparound porches – including a screened porch with a hammock and outdoor sleeping space – mean there's always somewhere to settle, whatever the mood. A beach club puts resort pools and Gulf-front dining within easy reach, while four bikes make exploring the community effortless. Come evening, the fire pit and lake views make a compelling case for staying put.
