NOT SO HUMBLE BRAG-->-->-->
We are happy to answer all of your questions and look forward to your inquiry. You may find though that we are a little biased when it comes to bragging about our home and its location. For a real taste of what it's like to stay at Burning Daylight, enter key search terms under our reviews for common answers to your questions. "Walk to the beach" "Cleanliness" "location" "amenities". We're happy to have our guests do the bragging for us.

TRUE BY OWNER RENTAL-This is a family owned and operated home. Our goal is to provide a five-star experience. We want to operate the kind of rental we would like to find on our vacation. We hope you enjoy our home as much as we do.

Burning Daylight is a custom home set on a rare coastal dune lake that looks out to the Gulf of Mexico. We have provided the perfect spot to relax and enjoy family time while having easy access to all that 30A has to offer. Hop on a kayak or stand-up-paddle board (provided for your use), and explore the lake and surrounding areas.

Triple master and Bunk Room design, a stay at Burning Daylight ensures private luxury baths for all and dedicated adult, kid and family spaces.

Each suite includes a private bath and sweeping lake views to watch the sunrise and sunset. Each room is also equipped with blinds, flat screen TVs and wifi, in case sunrises and sunsets aren't your thing.

Suite 1 - First Floor. King bed with private bathroom and zero entry shower

Suite 2 - Second Floor. Queen bed with private bath with tub

Suite 3 - Second floor. Queen bed with private bath with tub

Bunkroom - 5 twin captains bed with attached bath with two shower and large three faucet sink

The two upper master bedrooms flank the upstairs living area, offering a second gathering spot for groups of kids or adults.

The Bunk Room sleeps five with custom built-in luxury bunks which include personal reading lights, a charging station and private storage for each occupant. The wall-mounted flat screen ensures all Bunk Room occupants have a perfect view, although sleep will overcome the most avid young television watcher after a day on the pristine Gulf Coast beaches.

The Bunk Room bathroom has a private WC, two showers with private changing areas and a triple-faucet trough sink, offering the perfect blend of private and shared spaces for young guests.

Burning Daylight's gourmet kitchen is outfitted with two full-size refrigerators, two quiet dishwashers and a top of the line four-burner gas stove. Coffee and cocktail stations are located in the butler's pantry, ensuring adequate space for the most avid cooks and those preparing and consuming cocktails. Carrera marble tops the center island, large enough for your whole group to gather around. The kitchen is fully stocked with a wide range of appliances and dinnerware for your group and any visitors. Seated meals for thirteen enjoy lake views and breezes.

The screened-in side porch offers a covered outdoor living and dining space large enough for al fresco dining, entertaining or gaming.

The beach is a short walk, less than 5 minutes on foot with PUBLIC BEACH ACCESS at the outfall. Or, launch in one of the included water conveyances from the dock and paddle to the outfall where the ocean and lake meet. Kids can swim in the protected pool at the intersection of ocean and lake water.

Burning Daylight guests can rinse off after a day at the beach in the private outdoor shower and drop towels and bathing suits off in the sand room to take advantage of the full size washer and dryer. Enjoy a game of ping pong in the garage while your bathing suit is on the spin cycle.

Burning Daylight sits on Eastern Lake, one of the 14 rare dune lakes that dot the 30A landscape. Easily explore all of 30A from Grayton Beach, Alys Beach, Rosemary Beach, Seaside and all of the resort communities are an easy bike ride or short car ride away. Burn daylight enjoying the shopping and amenities each of these communities have to offer and then return to Burning Daylight's outdoor deck, where there's room for your whole group to watch the remaining daylight burn over the lake and the Gulf of Mexico simultaneously.

This house is an AMAZING place to stay! We had four adults and four teenagers and had so much space. The house is beautiful and incredibly clean. It has a dream kitchen, a ton of beach gear, beautiful views, and it’s a short walk or paddle to the beach. Andra is wonderful; very responsive and helpful. We will be staying here again. If you are considering this property, you should book it!

We had the best family vacation ever! The house was stocked with everything you can think of. We played at the lake and walked a short distance to the beach every day. The kids swam, fished & took the kayaks out. Thank you so much for sharing your beautiful home with us. The check in process was so easy. We also loved all of the recommendations of places to eat at. We are already planning for next year!!

Stell-vens Vaca 2025

I cannot say enough great things about this property. My family of 10 visited *ages from 2 years of age to 72. This house was perfect for every one of us. Kayaking on the lake in the morning and then a 5-10 min walk to the beach then back to the house for a float on the lake. And the house cannot be more well stocked. We cooked all 7 days and loved every minute of it. The kitchen has it ALL. The kids all loved the game room upstairs, stocked with games, legos, books and views of the lake. You have everything you need for a day at the beach. From the wagon, to chairs, a canopy, boogie boards and sand toys. Just pack your swim suit, the house has it all. I want to thank Andra for all the communication. You were always quick to respond and our conversations always made me feel like we were friends. I would highly recommend this property and when we go back to 30A, we will look no farther than Burning Daylight.

Eastern Lake 30A Getaway

An excellent spot for an extended family vacation. Kitchen was comfortable and well stocked for cooking and entertaining a big family. We had 3 couples and 3 young adults... and another family stopped by just for dinner-plenty of room! View of the lake and proximity to the beach gives you a quiet retreat from the beach when you're ready for it. The short 5 minute walk to the beach was always pleasant—I'd recommend a golf cart rental for shuttling beach chairs and older folks.
