Nestled in the heart of Seaside, this beach home was built to encompass the refined style of one of 30A's original beachside communities. Upon arriving at ''Taste and Sea'' you are welcomed by three stories of outdoor entertaining spaces, along with patios and decking to connect the main house to the fully serviced guest house. Through the generous front foyer, walk into the inviting living and dining room, dressed in a combination of modern and antique furnishings. Doric columns define each of the main areas on the first floor, but offer visibility from every room into the next. The Kitchen is equipped with everything a cook might need and is tucked away with pocket doors to allow entertainment to remain in the large indoor / outdoor living and dining spaces. The "Sugar Shack" guest house includes a full kitchen, laundry, and flexible living space. A first-floor day room can function as a bedroom, while the second-floor primary suite features a half bath and Juliet balcony overlooking the garden. Set on a larger, private lot backing up to Old Seagrove, the property offers strong outdoor living space in a central Seaside location.

Santa Rosa Beach, located between Grayton Beach State Park and Seaside, is a coastal and low-rise Miramar Beach neighborhood with dune-backed shorelines and pine-flatwood trails. The neighborhood’s character concentrates around the 30A corridor near the County Highway 393 junction, where bike traffic, beach cruisers, and small storefronts set a relaxed, design-forward pace. Architectural cues lean toward coastal cottages and contemporary beach homes with deep porches and metal roofs. Gulf views and rare coastal dune lakes shape daily rhythms, with boardwalks and trailheads threading through scrub and sand. Community pillars include The REP Theatre in Seaside, the open-air E.O. Wilson Park, and the long-running Grayton Beer Company taproom.
