Beachfront townhomes along Scenic 30A have become one of the most sought-after ways to stay in South Walton—and with more than 40 years of experience managing vacation rentals in Northwest Florida, Ocean Reef Resorts has seen firsthand why. These Gulf-front residences strike a balance that’s hard to replicate, offering direct beach access, fewer neighboring units, and a layout that feels more like a private home than a typical vacation stay.
Set throughout areas like Santa Rosa Beach, Blue Mountain Beach, and Seagrove Beach, these townhomes sit right on the dunes with unobstructed Gulf views and multiple vantage points—from upper-level balconies to ground-floor patios just steps from the sand. The result is a more seamless beach experience, where everything from morning coffee to sunset unwinding happens within easy reach.
