About this property

Southern Sand: beach house with beautiful forest views

Beach house backing up to a huge state forest filled with hiking/biking trails & wildlife. Walk, bike, or take 6 seat golf cart (extra fee) to the beach or walk out the back door to an amazing coastal pine forest. Neighborhood pool access! Beautifully decorated with all amenities: outdoor living area with a fireplace and a screened in porch, a Grill, adult and kid bikes, & a 3rd floor loft. 30A villages of Grayton Beach, Seaside, Alys, & Watercolor are an easy bike ride or 5 min drive away.
SOUTHERN SAND BEACH HOUSE: Beautiful beach house 3 blocks from the powder sugar sands on the Gulf of Mexico in the legendary 30A area of Florida. Walk 8 mins to the beach or a 2 min bike ride (We also have a 6 seat golf cart available for a fixed $450). Our amazing house also backs up to the Point Washington State Forest and is next to one of Northwest Florida's dune lakes, an ecosystem found nowhere else in the world. Perfect combination of relaxing nature and beach activities. Our house is located in a wonderful gated community called LAKESIDE AT BLUE MOUNTAIN BEACH. It is tranquil, tree-filled neighborhood with many full-time residents. The neighborhood has a community pool (which is heated March 1-May 1) and a Childrens playset with slides and swings along with picnic benches. The development is located directly behind Red Fish Village and is adjacent to Big Redfish Lake and Point Washington State Forest. Kayak or paddle board rental is available close by for use on the local dune lakes, or the Gulf of Mexico. There is plenty to do in this area without ever getting in your car, but if you feel like a road trip or great shopping, we are a short drive to Panama City and Destin. Both have ample entertainment such as the Gulfarium Aquarium, water parks, dolphin tours, sand bars with boat rental, deep sea fishing tours, shopping, and more.
Blue Mountain Beach sits along the amazing 30A Hwy of Northwest Florida. It is mere minutes from Seaside, Grayton Beach, and Watercolor without the crowd.

Hi, I'm Beth. I am born and raised in New Orleans, Louisiana with my background in Elementary Education and now pursue property management as well as working at our family business in New Orleans. My husband and I are blessed with 4 children and try to get to our happy place at the beach as often as possible. We enjoy traveling ourselves and love staying in VRBO properties!

Why they chose this property

Our house backs up to the Point Washington State Forest and is next to one of Northwest Florida's dune lakes, an ecosystem found nowhere else in the world. Perfect combination of relaxing nature and beach activities. Our house is located in a wonderful, gated community called Lakeside at Blue Mountain Beach. It is tranquil, tree-filled neighborhood with many full-time residents. The neighborhood has a community pool and a community playset with picnic benches. There is plenty to do in this area without ever getting in your car. We have one of the most popular ice cream shops located right down the street (approx 100 yards) from us that we love to walk to. There is also the Blue Mountain bakery and coffee shop as well as Red Fish Taco Mexican Restaurant all within walking distance and don't forget the beach-we are 4 blocks away from the entrance!

What makes this property unique

You will fall in love with Blue Mountain Beach town on 30a. It is not overcrowded at all like some of the other beach towns. This neighborhood will put you in the mood to relax, enjoy the forest, and enjoy the beach.
