About this property

Expansive view of gulf from 2 balconies on PRIVATE beach - steps from the sand!

This is YOUR view—Gulf-front and breathtaking!

Welcome to our stunning 3-bedroom, 3-bathroom townhome in Seacrest beach, Blue Tide is perched directly on a private stretch of sugar-white sand, and this spacious retreat offers two expansive balconies with unobstructed views of the emerald Gulf—perfect for soaking in spectacular sunsets and salty breezes.

Step outside and you're on the beach—no crowds, no hassle, just pure relaxation and endless water adventures. Prefer a dip in the pool? It's just steps from your front door. Inside, you'll find generous living spaces designed for comfort, whether you're lounging, dining, or settling in for a restful night's sleep.

To make your beach days even more effortless, we've partnered with a local beach chair service. Each morning, two chairs, a table, and an umbrella will be set up for you right by the water—and taken down each evening. Need more seating? You're welcome to bring additional chairs from our storage closet or request extra rentals directly from the service. They also offer kayak and paddleboard rentals, and can even arrange a magical sunset bonfire upon request.

Beyond the beach, explore the scenic 30A biking and walking trail that connects you to charming coastal towns like Alys Beach, Rosemary Beach, and Seaside. We provide two adult bicycles for your use, and we’re happy to help you rent more so you can enjoy the area at your own pace.

Whether you're planning a romantic retreat, a family vacation, or a getaway with friends, this townhome offers the perfect blend of coastal charm, modern comfort, and unbeatable location.

Blue Tide 8B was absolutely breathtaking! Great amenities, comfy furniture with plenty of outdoor furniture to enjoy your coffee looking out at the ocean. Both balconies had nice high quality chairs and tables. Such easy access to the stairs leading down to the beach. Plus the two bikes made it perfect to cruise around town. We will definitely be back!

The owners have thought of all the big and small touches that make their home inviting. The views of the gulf and the private beach were outstanding! Parking is super convenient as well as the ease of getting in and out of the parking area. The bikes are a super nice addition. We can’t wait to come back and stay here again!

About the host

Hosted by Angie and Chuck Boone

Host profile image
We first discovered our slice of paradise at Blue Tide in 2020 while visiting family along beautiful 30A—and it was love at first sight. Though we live in Northern Virginia with our children, our hearts are always at the beach, and we return every chance we get. Hosting guests in our home brings us great joy, and we’re confident you’ll fall in love with it just as we did. With the Gulf right outside your door and nightly sunsets painting the sky, it’s the perfect place to unwind, reconnect, and make lasting memories.

Why they chose this property

Our beach is peaceful, private, and perfectly positioned—close to everything, yet blissfully removed from the crowds. While some areas along 30A can get busy, our little slice of heaven offers direct beachfront access with everything you need right at your fingertips. Thanks to our private beach, you’ll never have to worry about finding space to relax—it’s quiet, uncrowded, and always serene. And if you’re in the mood to explore, you’re just a mile or so from fantastic dining, boutique shopping, and all the charm that makes 30A so special. It truly is the best of both worlds.

What makes this property unique

You truly can’t get any closer to the beach than at our home in Blue Tide. Step onto the balcony and you’re greeted with sweeping, unobstructed views of the Gulf—so close you can hear the waves roll in. And during certain times of the year, you’ll catch both sunrise and sunset right from your balcony, painting the sky with unforgettable colors.
