The space Welcome to Serenity in Paradise on 30A, a refined coastal retreat located south of 30A in the gated luxury community of Sandy Shores, ideally positioned between Alys Beach and Rosemary Beach. Being south of 30A means you can walk directly to the beach without crossing 30A, a major advantage for families and anyone who values ease and safety. This home is a newly added property to our collection and is owner-managed by experienced hosts who have been successfully welcoming luxury vacation guests for over five years. Offering rare privacy, generous space, true walkability, and access to a private, gated beach, this home is designed for discerning guests seeking an elevated 30A experience. This home is a newly acquired second home for our family, thoughtfully renovated and refreshed with designer touches throughout and currently being further refined with curated furnishings and details.

As hands-on owners, we are actively involved in the care, upkeep, and continued refinement of the home. Every decision, from finishes to functionality, is approached with the same level of care we expect for our own family.

Because the home is south of 30A, reaching the beach is simple and stress-free. There is no crossing of 30A required. From the home, it’s an easy approximately three-minute walk to the beach. Simply walk down two houses, turn left onto the beach path and boardwalk, enter through the gated access using the provided passcode, and continue down the stairs directly to the sand. Seasonal beach service is available March through October and is located right at the access point. We provide three complimentary beach setups, each consisting of two chairs and an umbrella. If your group would like additional setups during beach service season, arrangements can be made. Access to this beach is limited to Sandy Shores guests only. Wristbands are provided to identify authorized guests, ensuring the beach remains quiet, uncrowded, and exclusive. Guests without wristbands are not permitted access. Just beyond Sandy Shores is Paradise by the Sea, one of the most exclusive residential beachfront communities on 30A. Because that neighboring beach is reserved strictly for homeowners of Paradise by the Sea and not available to renters, the result is one of the most peaceful and uncrowded stretches of shoreline anywhere along 30A. ⸻ Designed for Elevated Group Living With nine bedrooms and nine bathrooms, this home is ideal for multi-family vacations, couples traveling together, and relaxed, high-quality time together.
