Refined luxuries make relaxation easy. It’s the location that really shines. A short walk or seasonal shuttle to the community’s lagoon-style private pool – largest in the state -- and deeded access private beach. Also a palm-tree lined stroll to the lively Rosemary Beach town center.
This isn’t just a vacation rental, it’s our vacation home. And we want our guests to enjoy all that our beloved Lighthouse30A has to offer! We are excited to provide our preferred amenity and activity providers, and local hidden gems: shopping, dining, offshore and bay fishing charters, the best farmer’s market finds, top salons, even sunset beach bonfires.

It’s got what everyone needs – a game room to keep kids entertained, a private balcony for mom to read in peace, a shaded spot for grandpa to sit on the porch, and a beautiful open-concept kitchen and living space where everyone can gather and make memories.

|THE COMMUNITY|
Seacrest Beach is an idyllic community, considered one of the ‘best kept secrets’ of 30A. Tree lined streets. A safe, serene energy. A vibrant retail village with quaint shops, great places to eat, and live music. And, of course, the 12,000 square foot pool AND deeded beach access. Then there’s Crabby Steve’s, one of 30A’s only waterfront tiki-bars. You’ll also find a grassy amphitheater with year-round entertainment like festivals, concerts, private events, and day-time activities like Bocce or Frisbee.

Walkability
It’s the walkability that really makes the area so alluring. Especially since Lighthouse30A is so perfectly positioned. There’s really no need for a car rental. Evening strolls to grab an ice cream are a guest favorite.
Too much beach gear to carry? There’s a seasonal tram that runs throughout Seacrest Beach dropping off and picking up guests at the beach and Lagoon pool.
Remote Working
Seacrest is the kind of place you’ll want to stay for more than a week! It’s a true ‘summering’ community. We’ve anticipated that many of our guests will be treating their stay as a ‘work-cation.’ So we’ve installed great internet (530mbps) and have set up several ‘working’ areas with deskspace and comfortable seating. For several weeks out of the year, we even work from the Lighthouse30A ourselves.

|WHERE YOU’LL BE|
✱ The community is unbelievably beautiful, quaint and peaceful and the shops etc were a very short walk from the house.” - Tonya, 2023
Located at the end of the street, Lighthouse30A is in a low traffic area. It’s especially quiet, making for a truly relaxing stay. Seacrest is situated with Rosemary Beach and Inlet Beach to the east and Alys Beach to the west. So if you do care to venture beyond the community, there’s so much to explore just a few minutes away.
|GETTING AROUND|
The entire 30A area is designed to be incredibly walkable and bikeable. And ride shares are available. Everything you could want to visit is either east or west down 30A.
|DURING YOUR STAY|
We’ve been coming to this area for quite some time, so there are some local businesses we’ve grown to love! So here are some of our recommendations. As we mentioned previously, we aim to act as more than hosts. If you need any assistance booking excursions or activities, please don’t hesitate to reach out.
✱ This place was perfect and the host did everything he could to make it the best experience for us! We were so pleased with everything. - Katie, 2023
