Sunset from the Tower

Sitting within a gated community on Florida's 30A coast, this beachfront house comes with private access to the Gulf – so the sugar-white sand is yours to reach without the crowds. The living area opens onto a balcony where emerald water stretches beyond the dunes, and a heated pool on the terrace means you're never far from a swim. Climb to the fourth-floor lookout tower for sunset views that are hard to beat. Seven bikes, a wet bar, and optional chef services make it easy to settle into a slower pace.

Home truths:
* While one of the bathrooms isn't photographed, expect the style and quality to be consistent with the rest of the home.
* One of the bedrooms sleeps up to four people in two bunk beds – we think this room is best suited to children.
* From 1st March to 31st October, a beach service set (two beach chairs and an umbrella) is included in your stay.
* Pack your own beach and pool towels – bath towels cannot be removed from the home.
* The elevator is not available for guest use, and this is a three-storey home – you'll be using the stairs to move between levels across your stay.
* While the home can sleep up to sixteen people, the maximum occupancy is fourteen guests.
* The lead guest must be at least 25 years old.
