Sugar White Gulf

Fifty feet from the sugar-white sand and Gulf waters, this home on Scenic Highway 30A puts the beach about as close as it gets without sleeping on it. Timber beam ceilings and hardwood floors give the interiors a warm, Mediterranean character, while the top-floor living space – anchored by a gas fireplace and two Gulf-facing balconies – is built for long evenings with the whole group. A private lift makes moving between floors effortless, and a complimentary golf cart and bikes mean coastal dune lakes and the wider 30A corridor are all easy to explore.

Home truths:
* Parking on-site is limited to two vehicles – one in the private garage and one in the driveway. The included golf cart is a handy way to get around locally without needing extra cars.
* You're right on Scenic Highway 30A, with the beach access walkover directly across a private street – so the road does sit between the home and the sand. It's a short crossing, but worth knowing before you arrive.
* The main living, dining, and kitchen space – along with both Gulf-facing balconies – is on the top floor, so you'll be heading upstairs to cook, eat, and socialise. The private lift makes this much easier, especially with bags or groceries.
* One of the bedrooms contains a double-over-double bunk bed.
* The lead guest must be at least 25 years old.
