30A Retreat Near Gulf Place w/ Pool Access, Porch, Chef’s Kitchen & Bike Rental
Welcome to Always be Summer by AvantStay!
Always Be Summer places you in one of 30A’s most charming pockets of Santa Rosa Beach, where quiet streets, longleaf pines, and bike-friendly paths lead to Gulf Place, local coffee spots, boutique shopping, and the sugar-white shoreline that defines this coast. With the bike, exploring Scenic 30A becomes part of the fun—whether you're riding to dinner at Shunk Gulley or catching the sunset from the sand.
Inside, this home welcomes guests with soaring ceilings and a bright, open-concept layout designed for easy gathering. The living room offers a spacious sectional, a fireplace for cozy evenings, and a TV for unwinding after days in the sun. Steps away, a chef’s kitchen with stainless steel appliances makes meal prep a pleasure, flowing seamlessly into a dining area for eight where groups can share slow breakfasts or seafood dinners together.
Sleeping spaces are thoughtfully arranged for comfort and privacy. A serene king ensuite anchors the home, joined by a second king room with access to a shared bath. A queen ensuite offers its own private retreat, while a twin-over-twin bunk room adds the perfect setup for kids or additional guests. A convenient half bath brings the home to a total of 3.5 bathrooms, ensuring everyone has the space they need.
Outdoor living is one of this home’s greatest joys. Settle into the classic Southern rocking chairs on the covered porch, looking out over the trees and the peaceful neighborhood. Curl up with a book in the hammock, sip morning coffee in the coastal breeze, or enjoy long, unhurried evenings beneath soft porch lighting.
As a guest of Cypress Dunes, you’ll have access to two stunning resort-style pools—including the community’s signature infinity pool overlooking the Gulf and Topsail Hill Preserve, plus a second family-friendly pool ideal for relaxed afternoons. Enjoy the tennis and pickleball courts, fitness center, clubhouse, and scenic boardwalk trails, or step directly onto the Timpoochee Trail for biking and leisurely coastal strolls.
With an in-home washer and dryer and all the essentials you need for a seamless stay, Always Be Summer blends warmth, comfort, and the easy rhythm of 30A living—perfect for families and groups of up to eight.
