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.

Back on market - no fault of seller. What we love about this home is the light. Lots of windows and a wide open living area means plenty of light and lots of space for an active family. Huge granite peninsula, stainless appliances and plenty of cabinet space in the kitchen. New luxury vinyl plank flooring recently installed. There are two living areas in this very interesting floor plan, one on either side of the kitchen. It's hard to explain. Huge fenced back yard with a sand box big enough for grownups to play in. The sellers purchased the home for family members to rent back in May. The family has since closed on another house and this one is vacant and ready to sell. It would make a cozy primary residence for a small family or a very appealing rental propert
