Deeded Beach Access, Resort Pool, 4 Bikes, and Beach Tram!
⭐ ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ ⭐
"Excellent location - walkable to so many things! The house was great and tram was so convenient. We really enjoyed our stay, and Mitch was extremely responsive and helpful for anything we needed." - Sara, April 2025
You’ve found the quintessential 30A vacation! In the Seacrest Beach community of Scenic Hwy 30A sits Lighthouse30A, a serene getaway offering a spacious layout perfect for family groups & extended ‘workcations’. Refined luxuries make relaxation easy. It’s the location that really shines. A short walk or seasonal shuttle to the community’s lagoon-style private pool – largest in the state -- and deeded access private beach. Also a palm-tree lined stroll to the lively Rosemary Beach town center.
This isn’t just a vacation rental, it’s our vacation home. And we want our guests to enjoy all that our beloved Lighthouse30A has to offer! We are excited to provide our preferred amenity and activity providers, and local hidden gems: shopping, dining, offshore and bay fishing charters, the best farmer’s market finds, top salons, even sunset beach bonfires.
As for our home itself, it is located between Rosemary and Alys Beach communities. The flexible layout makes it ideal for multi-generation or multi-family groups. It’s got what everyone needs – a game room to keep kids entertained, a private balcony for mom to read in peace, a shaded spot for grandpa to sit on the porch, and a beautiful open-concept kitchen and living space where everyone can gather and make memories.
Guests will have access to Seacrest’s massive 12,000-square-foot private community pool, private deeded beach access, and great walkable restaurants and shopping. The home is within walking distance to the pool, beach, shops, cafes, bike paths, & nature trails so you won't need to drive anywhere while you are here. The community also has a seasonal (Mar-Oct) shuttle service that picks up about 25 steps from the home’s front door providing easy transportation to the beach or pool.
Want to explore? Ride the 4 bikes provided along Scenic Hwy 30A or in any of several magnificent state parks in South Walton or other beachfront neighborhoods like Rosemary Beach.

|THE COMMUNITY|
Seacrest Beach is an idyllic community, considered one of the ‘best kept secrets’ of 30A. Tree lined streets. A safe, serene energy. A vibrant retail village with quaint shops, great places to eat, and live music. And, of course, the 12,000 square foot pool AND deeded beach access. Then there’s Crabby Steve’s, one of 30A’s only waterfront tiki-bars. You’ll also find a grassy amphitheater with year-round entertainment like festivals, concerts, private events, and day-time activities like Bocce or Frisbee.
• Private beach access with beach chair service (3 min shuttle ride or 10 min walk)

• 5 min walk to Rosemary Beach with farmer's market, great shopping, & best dining on 30A
• 1.3 miles of shaded walking trails winding through the community
Walkability
It’s the walkability that really makes the area so alluring. Especially since Lighthouse30A is so perfectly positioned. There’s really no need for a car rental. Evening strolls to grab an ice cream are a guest favorite.
Too much beach gear to carry? There’s a seasonal tram that runs throughout Seacrest Beach dropping off and picking up guests at the beach and Lagoon pool.
Remote Working
Seacrest is the kind of place you’ll want to stay for more than a week! It’s a true ‘summering’ community. We’ve anticipated that many of our guests will be treating their stay as a ‘work-cation.’ So we’ve installed great internet (530mbps) and have set up several ‘working’ areas with deskspace and comfortable seating. For several weeks out of the year, we even work from the Lighthouse30A ourselves.

Located at the end of the street, Lighthouse30A is in a low traffic area. It’s especially quiet, making for a truly relaxing stay. Seacrest is situated with Rosemary Beach and Inlet Beach to the east and Alys Beach to the west. There’s so much to explore just a few minutes away.
