Wimaway

Overview

Wimaway is a 5-bedroom, 5-bath home in Seagrove Beach, a neighborhood of Santa Rosa Beach on Scenic Highway 30A, listed for up to 17 guests. If you are after a Santa Rosa Beach rental with private beach access, the listing title makes the claim directly: "Private deeded beach…South side of 30a! No streets to cross!"

The owner describes a gated, low-density, three-story duplex with three porches and a swimming pool. From the house it is about 150 steps to a boardwalk that runs down to the sand. Wimaway is less than two miles from Seaside, per the listing, and the owner says the identical unit next door can be rented for 5 more bedrooms.

Beach Details

Florida is one of the places where a private beach can be real. The mean high-water line is the legal boundary (Fla. Stat. 177.28), so dry sand above it can be privately owned, and some 30A communities do own theirs. The wet sand below the line is not part of that private land.

We have not seen the deed for Wimaway, so "private deeded beach" is the owner's description. Before you book, ask how many homes share the beach access and the pool, since the home is one half of a duplex.

Before You Book

• Ask whether the pool, hot tub and beach path are shared with the other unit or neighbors.
• For a bigger group, ask the owner about renting the identical unit next door.
• The listing says its prices include all fees. Add dates on the listing to see the total for your stay.
• Northwest Florida Beaches International Airport (ECP) is about 40 to 45 minutes by car, per the listing.
• 30A is on the Gulf, inside the Atlantic hurricane season, which NOAA dates June 1 to November 30.
