South Walton's 30A is famously known for having some of the most beautiful beaches in America. It has been a favorite family vacation destination for many years. However, sometimes you want to get away for an "adult gathering" to enjoy a fun beach reunion with your close friends and grownup family members. After all, re-bonding with old childhood friends, college classmates, or certain family members you haven't seen in many years is a wonderful experience. Indeed it is part of the magical essence of life itself. The following five highly hospitable 30A Gulf-front vacation homes provide everything you need to make this happen. Most of them include bedrooms with ensuite luxury baths, queen and king-sized beds, and some with extra living areas within the home. Depending upon the size of your beach gathering, these homes can sleep six, twelve, or fourteen fortunate adult guests. They are all located on the shimmering beach in different idyllic coastal villages along Scenic 30A. This route is designated for acclaim by the state of Florida due to its stunning natural beauty along the forested crystalline white shoreline. Here is a brief description of each one to begin your tour down a road that will create wonderful memories which will last for years to come. They are listed geographically, going from west to east. Here you go!

A Suite Life

2 Adult Bedrooms / 2 Bathrooms / 6 Guests

A Suite Life, located at the western gateway to Scenic 30A in Dune Allen Beach, is perfect for two couples since it has a pair of bedrooms with an ensuite bath in the Master and a full hall bath off the Guest Bedroom. A queen-sized sleeper sofa in the living area may accommodate additional visitors, and your favorite furry friend member is welcome since it is "Pet Friendly." You can't get much closer to the beach than this since the home is raised above the sugary sands. A beach balcony spans across its entire width with seating that invites you to enjoy favorite adult beverages while relishing the seemingly endless southerly views and listening to the sensational surf sounds. The comfortably furnished open living area features three sets of windows and a glass balcony door, framing the glittering scenery. The Master Suite has a king-sized bed near a gulf view window, while the Guest Bedroom includes a queen-sized bed with a window overlooking part of the beach. This locale is close to Gulf Place in Santa Rosa Beach, which features restaurants, bars, fashion boutiques, specialty shops, galleries, a wine shop, fun festivals year-round, and outdoor amphitheater concerts.

A short distance away in Santa Rosa Beach are two beach homes called "Abandon all Cares" and "Kokomo," located in the exclusively gated 'Old Florida Beach' neighborhood. This absolutely charming world of its own provides a nostalgic ambiance of golden yesteryears. The serene, seemingly remote setting is tucked away on the beach, south of Scenic 30A; however, it is just minutes away from everything Santa Rosa Beach has to offer. Besides the bright white shore, it is next to a rare Coastal Dune Lake composed of an exotic mix of artisan spring-fed water with the salty Gulf. Such unique bodies of water are found hardly anywhere else in the world. A creek-like estuary across the dune opens and closes its connection to the Gulf with the changing tides. This pristine, beautiful natural treasure provides a habitat that supports abundant wildlife, flora, and fauna. A neighborhood dock on the lake invites you to try your luck fishing or paddle around to do some nature watching. Old Florida Beach also has a swimming pool where you may take a refreshing plunge before or after splashing around in the jeweled Gulf.

Two stately columned verandas span across both the front and Gulf sides of this home, so you have your pick of where to sit to enjoy views while sipping upon your favorite drinks.
