Three Story Coastal Retreat With Trailside Porches And Strong Rental Appeal

Set along a wooded nature trail just moments from the famed lagoon-style pool, this thoughtfully composed three-story beach home offers the kind of 30A ownership opportunity that feels equally suited to personal escapes and strong investment performance. Known as “Reset Button,” the residence has been carefully maintained and self-managed by its owners, with annual rental income exceeding $127,000 for each of the past four years. The result is a home with proven appeal, generous gathering spaces, and a distinctly personal point of view.

Inside, approximately 2,500 square feet unfold with natural pine wood flooring, abundant windows, and an open floor plan designed for easy connection. The kitchen is both functional and inviting, appointed with stainless steel appliances, pendant lighting, and a large island with counter seating. Just beyond, the dining and living areas create an easy rhythm for entertaining, family meals, and relaxed evenings after the beach. The interiors strike a rare balance: polished yet comfortable, stylish yet unfussy, with original artwork by Alyson Wickey that adds character and a sense of place.

The five-bedroom, four-bath layout offers exceptional flexibility for larger groups. A first-floor guest suite opens to a private porch and sits near the main living areas for convenience. On the second level, the primary suite enjoys its own balcony and a spacious bath with soaking tub and marble countertops. Two bunk rooms on this floor add versatility for family use, while a full hall bath and dedicated laundry area enhance everyday livability. The entire third floor functions as an expansive suite with a wet bar, full bath, office area, and access to two oversized porches that extend the living experience even further.

Outdoor spaces are a defining feature here, with six porches and balconies offering quiet corners for coffee, conversation, afternoon reading, or evening cocktails beneath the coastal sky. The rear yard, positioned along the walking trail, adds another layer of privacy and charm, with room to grill, dine, and gather around the fire pit.

Located in Seacrest Beach along Scenic Highway 30A, the home enjoys access to one of the area’s most sought-after amenities: the 12,000-square-foot resort-style lagoon pool, along with convenient tram service to the beach. Positioned on the Rosemary Beach side of Seacrest, it is also close to shopping, dining, and the white-sand shoreline that makes this stretch of the coast so beloved. With its strong income history, distinctive personality, and highly livable layout, this property offers far more than a place to stay; it is a home people return to again and again.
