Property Details
This charming 30A beach home is a delightful haven for up to eight happy Gulf-going guests. Tucked in the serene Gulfview Heights neighborhood, it's just a short, breezy stroll to the sugar-white sands and shimmering emerald Gulf waters. Nearby, the enchanting Draper Lake adds an extra touch of coastal magic. This rare coastal dune lake, a natural treasure found in only a few places worldwide, offers a mesmerizing blend of artisan spring-fed and salt waters. Here, tidal estuaries create a thriving habitat for both fresh and saltwater creatures, as well as majestic birds like Great Blue Herons, Snowy Egrets, and Ospreys. Guests can revel in paddleboarding, kayaking, or casting a line in these tranquil waters. The shallow estuary connecting the lake to the Gulf, just down the beach, is perfect for a whimsical water adventure.
Beyond the beach and captivating lake, Beach Buddy treats guests to the luxury of a private swimming pool surrounded by a spacious patio with comfortable poolside loungers. Elevated above a covered parking area, the home's wraparound balcony provides a perfect perch to relax and soak in views of the sparkling pool below. Inside, the open living and dining area radiates warmth with a vaulted ceiling and sunlight streaming through multiple windows. Two cozy white love seats and a wicker armchair encircle a flat-screen TV, while a marble-topped cocktail table and beach cottage accents create a welcoming, tropical vibe. A charming corner nook with a round table for two invites intimate conversations, while the main dining alcove offers seating for six around a colonial-style table. The well-equipped kitchen, complete with a large gas range, is ready for culinary adventures, whether you're whipping up family meals or experimenting with local seafood.
The primary bedroom is a serene retreat featuring a queen-sized bed and a private ensuite bath with a tub-shower combination. A guest bedroom, decked in cottage charm, also boasts a queen-sized bed framed by whimsical starfish wall art and a woven straw trunk at its foot. Another guest room features twin beds adorned with playful sea turtle decorations. These cozy guest quarters share a full hall bath, which also functions as a convenient powder room.
This idyllic Santa Rosa Beach location is just minutes from the vibrant coastal hub of Gulf Place, a lively village brimming with delightful eateries, friendly bars, an ice cream parlor with arcade games, and a charming coffee shop. Fashion boutiques and art galleries line the streets, while the palm-studded outdoor amphitheater hosts live music, art shows, and festive events.
