Santa Claus is coming to town...Are you?


We can't keep it a secret any longer; holidays are just better here at the beach. See what locals and people in the know think is the best way to spend your upcoming holiday vacation.



Booking your vacation...

This part is easy. With so many places along 30A we can help you choose the home that's a perfect fit for your family. Maybe you want to be right on the beach with a stay at Sunset Escape or perhaps you like a quieter spot off the beaten path. 167 Oyster Lake features a beautiful open floor plan with privacy and high-end amenities to help you feel right at home. If you enjoy a sweet little beach neighborhood with a heated pool and a park for the kids, then Coastal Pines  in Lakeside at Blue Mountain Beach may be more your speed. If your family prefers to travel with your furry friends, then Current Situation or East Of Eden will be perfect for your stay!
