What's special
Set on a prime Gulf-front lot along the West End of 30A, this classic beach cottage offers a rare combination of privacy, character, and uninterrupted views of the emerald Gulf and sugar-white sands. Tucked away from the main thoroughfare but still close to top-tier dining, shopping, and outdoor destinations, the property blends timeless Old Florida charm with the best of coastal living.
Designed with simplicity and comfort in mind, the cottage features two well-sized bedrooms — each with its own ensuite bath — and an open-concept main living area that maximizes both space and views. Natural light floods the interior through large windows, creating a relaxed, airy atmosphere ideal for a true beach retreat. Whether cooking in the efficient, well-equipped kitchen or relaxing in the living space, you're never far from the Gulf's presence.
Outside, a covered porch offers a quiet place to enjoy morning coffee or evening breezes, while a dune-front deck brings you even closer to the shoreline. With private beach access just steps from the door, days here move at the pace of the tideeasy, calm, and grounded in nature.
Offered fully furnished and including a complete set of architectural plans for a future build, this property is ready for immediate enjoyment or long-term vision. Whether you're looking for a peaceful getaway, a strong investment property, or the perfect site to build a custom Gulf-front home, this is a rare opportunity to own a piece of 30A with both charm and potential.
