Opportunities like this in the heart of historic Grayton Beach are exceptionally rare. Set along coveted DeFuniak Street, this home offers the chance to own in one of South Walton's most distinctive locations. Just steps from the beach and a short stroll from the heart of Grayton, everything that makes this iconic community so special is within easy reach. Walk to the beach, enjoy some of the area's best loved dining and local shops, or simply explore 30A. Adding to the rarity is a generously sized backyard with space to create a private outdoor retreat, including the potential for an in-ground pool, an increasingly difficult find in the heart of old Grayton. Ample parking accommodates owners and guests, another valuable feature in this coveted beachside setting. Offered fully furnished, with professionally designed and thoughtfully curated interiors, the home features dual primary suites, each with its own private balcony, offering flexibility and privacy for owners and guests alike. Currently enjoyed as a vacation rental, the home is ideally suited for continued rental use or as your own personal beach retreat. More than simply a beach house, this is an opportunity to become part of a place that has retained the charm, individuality and laid-back coastal lifestyle that have made Grayton Beach so special for generations. Enjoy it as it is today, make it your own over time, and own a piece of Grayton in a location that simply cannot be recreated.
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.
