The White Heron

Directly facing the Gulf of Mexico in Inlet Beach, this three-level house puts emerald water views from four private balconies and beach access just a two-minute walk from your door. The private heated pool is available year-round, and a top-floor entertainment level – with a dedicated bar and panoramic sunset views – gives larger groups a natural place to gather. An elevator across all three floors is a rare find, and the six-seater golf cart and bikes make it easy to explore 30A at your own pace. Rosemary Beach is a four-minute drive away when you want boutiques and a good meal.

Home truths:
* You'll need to bring your own beach and pool towels – the home's bath towels and linens are not permitted to be taken outside.
* Your parking here accommodates three cars on the private driveway. Bear in mind that unloading or parking prior to 4pm is not permitted, so plan your arrival timing accordingly.
* One of the bedrooms has two single-over-double bunk beds that can sleep up to six people – we think it might be best suited to children.
* The lead guest must be at least 25 years old.
* A six-seater golf cart and six adult bikes are included in your stay.
* This home has lift access throughout – it may suit guests with reduced mobility.
