About this property

MAJOR UPDATE: Stunning, Ocean FRONT Cool Water Beach - 30A

Located GULF FRONT, Cool Water Beach offers unobstructed, breathtaking views of the OCEAN! It's perfect for a couples getaway, a girlfriends trip, & small families too. This unique retreat, renovated in 2017 and updated this year, will free you of all worries the moment you walk through the door. Our home is located in Seagrove, within biking distance of Seaside & Watercolor to the west & the Big Chill, Alys and Rosemary Beach to the east.

We’re excited to share our “new new” with you! We’ve just finished a major update to Cool Water Beach, with new floors throughout, and new furniture in the Dining and Living Rooms, featuring pieces hand crafted by local furniture artisan, Brett Martin and accessories from 30a's favorite interior design firm, Tracery Interiors. We invite you to relax in the Primary Bedroom where we have just installed all new furniture, and outfitted the bed with the fluffiest pillows and crisp white Belgian linen bedding - just waiting to engage you in an afternoon nap. We’ve updated our living room sound system to SONOS surround sound, with a soundbar, subwoofer and speakers so you can watch Top Gun and feel like you're in Miramar. Outside, we've replaced the wood decking with TREX (much more comfy for your feet)!

Let the sounds of the gulf serenade you during the day and lull you to sleep in the evenings at Cool Water beach. This GULF FRONT, hidden gem was fully renovated in 2017 (with a major update this spring) to provide you and your family and friends a little piece of heaven for your next beach trip.

Cool Water Beach is a 2bdr, 2.5ba townhome that sleeps 5 comfortably. Upstairs features a spacious master bedroom with a brand-new king bed and ensuite bath, and a private deck with two captain’s chairs that provide a bird’s eye view of the dolphins swimming in the crystal-clear waters of the Gulf - Bring your binoculars! The guest room features a new queen bed with a single bunk and adjacent bathroom. Both bedrooms have large closets.

For the chef in your group, Cool Water Beach offers a well-equipped full kitchen, and showcases stunning Vetrazzo recycled sea glass countertops and all the amenities that you're used to at home:
- Full-size appliances
- Coffee maker
- Chemex Pour Over coffee pot
- Crockpot
- Cutting boards
- Cookie sheets
- Toaster
- Calphalon NS pots & pans
- Le Creuset dutch oven
- Multiple sized cast iron skillets
- Blender
- Food processor
- Charcuterie board (& cheese knives)
- Williams Sonoma white dinnerware
- Stemmed and stemless wine glasses as well as beer glasses and martini glasses

The dining area seats 6 and also seats 3 at the counter overlooking the kitchen. The living area features a brand new large sofa, two uber comfortable swivel chairs, a 55” smart TV with SONOS Surround Sound. A powder room is also located on this floor.

Just off the living area is a large, private deck with a bar height table for your sunset cocktail enjoyment, as well as 2 chaise lounges for your sunning comfort.

Down the stairs and 36 steps away (we counted!) is one of the finest public beach accesses in Walton County. For a small fee, you will have access to our secured beach closet, which is stocked with everything you need to make your beach days a breeze:
- 4 brand new professional beach set up chairs and umbrella
- 4 brand new Tommy Bahama backpack beach chairs
- Boogie Boards
- Sand Toys

There's also an outdoor shower for your post beach day rinse off.

Cool Water Beach has a keyless entry, smart thermostat, Netflix and cable on the downstairs and master bedroom TVs, and, if you must work on vacation, we have the fastest wi-fi in the building!

Some of the area's finest restaurants can be found among the quaint communities along the 24 mile stretch of 30a. You will find all our favorites in the Cool Water Beach Welcome Information Package that will be sent when you make your reservation. We also share extensive information on shopping, boating, fishing, hiking, trail riding, and other activities. Bike rentals are also available and just a few blocks away.

Spring Break Family Time
We couldn’t be happier with our decision to stay at Cool Water Beach for our spring break. From the time we booked, Christina was extremely helpful and answered any and all questions we had about the home surrounding area. The location is perfect and as convenient to the beach as it sounds/appears. Can’t wait to go back!!

About the host

Hosted by Christina Stone

Host profile image
My husband, Scott and I live in Birmingham, Alabama, and have been visiting the 30a area for over 30 years (we were married here in 1996!). Though we have traveled to some gorgeous beaches across the world, we were always drawn back to the beautiful beaches and emerald waters of 30a, so there were no questions when we were offered the opportunity to make this our second home.

Why they chose this property

For many years, while riding our bikes on 30a and hiking on the Timpoochee Trail, we dreamed about owning a piece of this paradise. While there are some really large, beautiful homes along 30a, we were more drawn to the "Old Seagrove" homes and townhomes. When we visited one summer, we stayed in this very building and joked to the property manger about owning the place we stayed in - that one was not available, but others were ... and Cool Water Beach (it had a name before our name was on it!) became a reality! The perfect mix of old Seagrove with the ability to renovate and upgrade it to modern luxury was my dream!

What makes this property unique

Because this IS our second home (and not "just another rental"), we have taken extra measures to ensure you have everything you need from the well stocked kitchen to the comfortable beds and luxurious linens. We believe in making sure every detail is cared for, so your trip can be as relaxing and enjoyable as possible.
