Welcome to 88 Bayou Manor Road, a beautifully updated home in Mussett Bayou Manor--a peaceful community of just 17 homes where short-term rentals are not permitted. Cobblestone driveways and sidewalks create a distinctive, welcoming setting, while the community dock provides access for small boats, kayaks and paddleboards just moments from Choctawhatchee Bay. This home has been thoughtfully enhanced inside and out with nearly 100K in upgrades including fresh interior and exterior paint, updated kitchen cabinets, quartz countertops and a warm brick kitchen accent. Exterior improvements include an expanded paver pool deck, pergola, lush tropical landscaping with palm trees, a separate irrigation well and a new gutter protection system designed to keep pine straw and debris out. Designed for relaxing and entertaining, the private backyard features a gas-heated pool, expanded lounge area and pergola for shaded outdoor enjoyment. The grass-free design provides easy, low-maintenance living and is especially ideal for dogs. There is even additional space for storing Jet Skis and other beach and outdoor toys. Inside, the open-concept first floor flows easily between the kitchen, dining area and living room. The updated kitchen combines relaxed coastal style with the warmth and character of home--the best of both worlds. Features include updated cabinetry, quartz countertops, a gas cooktop, wall oven and microwave combination, walk-in pantry and an oversized L-shaped island with seating for six. Nine-foot ceilings and tall windows fill the space with natural light. Upstairs, the spacious primary suite includes an ensuite bathroom, his and her walk-in closets, and a private balcony. Three additional bedrooms, two full bathrooms and a generously sized laundry room complete the second floor. Ideally located in the heart of Santa Rosa Beach on Mussett Bayou, this home is within walking distance to popular restaurants like local favorite Louis Louis, shopping and family friendly recreational activities such as The Forge dojo and Back Nine. Mussett Bayou Manor is conveniently located just five minutes from Tops'l State Park and the beaches on the west end of 30A, Butler Elementary, ten minutes from Grand Boulevard and Ascension Sacred Heart Hospital, just 20 minutes from Watersound and Destin, and 30 minutes from Panama City Beach. Enjoy easy access to the beaches, shopping and dining while coming home to a private residential neighborhood.
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.
