The Space:

Salt air moves easily through wide decks as the Gulf stretches out nearby, shifting colors throughout the day. Mornings begin with quiet coffee on shaded balconies, afternoons drift between the courtyard pool and the beach just steps away, and evenings settle into relaxed conversation carried by coastal breezes.



Designed for large groups, this home offers space to gather and room to spread out across the main house and a private carriage house. Multiple living areas create natural places to reconnect or unwind, whether you are sharing meals, watching a movie, or enjoying quiet downtime. Thoughtful layouts and indoor-outdoor flow keep the home feeling social yet unhurried.



Sleeping arrangements

The property features ten bedrooms across the main house and carriage house, offering a mix of king beds, queen beds, twin beds, and custom bunk rooms. King suites are located on multiple levels, some with private balconies overlooking the Gulf. Bunk rooms include queen-over-queen bunks, queen beds paired with bunks, and stacked twin XL bunks. Bathrooms include ensuite, detached, and shared layouts, allowing flexibility for larger groups.



Living spaces

Four separate living rooms give everyone space to settle in. A first-floor living area with a kitchenette and wet bar opens directly to the courtyard. Upper levels include additional living rooms with seating, TVs, and access to balconies. The carriage house adds privacy with its own living room and wraparound balcony.



Kitchen and dining

The main kitchen is equipped for group meals, featuring stainless steel appliances, a gas range, granite countertops, a wine cooler, and two dishwashers. A large dining table and bar seating support shared meals. A second full kitchen in the carriage house and additional kitchenettes make it easy to manage cooking across a full house.



Outdoor living

A private courtyard surrounds the pool, which is heated seasonally from October through May for an additional nightly fee. Lounge seating, outdoor furniture, and a grill create a relaxed setting for afternoons and evenings. Decks, patios, screened porches, and balconies throughout the home offer constant access to fresh air and Gulf breezes.



Location and access

A brand-new public beach access is just steps away and includes parking, restrooms, and a wheelchair ramp, with lifeguards on duty during peak season. A complimentary six-passenger street-legal golf cart makes exploring along 30A simple, with nearby dining and shopping options close by.
