Discover the most relaxing vacation ever in the beach rental communities of Seaside, Seagrove Beach, Rosemary Beach, Grayton Beach, Seacrest Beach, or WaterSound on the Northwest Gulf Coast of Florida, known as “Beaches of South Walton.” The seaside beach towns of South Walton are among the best vacation rentals in Florida and are tucked away from the hustle and bustle of an overcrowded city, boasts the world’s most beautiful beaches, the finest restaurants, breathtaking architecture, and is the perfect location for a relaxing vacation or to purchase an investment home.

Most people are familiar with Destin and Panama City, known for spring break, but Beaches of South Walton remains relatively undiscovered.  What makes it so different from other destinations is that South Walton County is a nature preserve in the form of state parks.  There are no large towns, and the entire area is environmentally progressive.  South Walton County was one of the last panhandle beachfronts to be developed which allowed the opportunity to avoid mistakes prevalent in other beach destinations.  In fact, many visitors to the beaches of South Walton enjoy their stay so much they decide to purchase a home here.

With a landscape marked by 26 miles of white sandy beaches, towering dunes – the highest on the entire Gulf of Mexico rim, natural pines, rivers, lakes and state parks, Walton County is one of the fastest growing counties in Florida.  Whether exploring the natural wonders, frolicking in the warm gulf waters, bicycling through quiet forests, feasting on world-class cuisine, or experiencing every kind of shop imaginable from open-air markets to Silver Sands – the nation’s largest designer outlet center, there’s something for everyone and every lifestyle.  There are also a variety of special events and festivals held throughout the year celebrating film, music, art, and wine. 

Take a drive up or down Scenic 30-A, a stunning 18-mile road that hugs the coastline along the Gulf of Mexico.  Scenic 30-A is known for the highest elevated sand dunes on the entire Gulf of Mexico rim, which provides protection from hurricanes that land along the coast of Florida.  Located on Scenic 30-A midway is Grayton Beach, a quiet historical beach town situated among magnolia trees, great oaks, and natural beautiful beaches.  Grayton is one of the area’s oldest and most adored communities with its special cozy, small town character with narrow tree lined streets along its modest downtown which comes complete with interesting shops, rental cottages, a general store, and warm, friendly residents.  The town of Seaside is situated along a half-mile strip of gorgeous, sandy beach.  Seaside is South Walton County’s cultural and commercial center.  Architecturally charming, the homes of Seaside were designed by renowned architects with forms inspired by the early Florida coastal cottages and historic homes in Charleston and Savannah.  Designed for walking or biking, the town is characterized by endless white picket fences, brick promenades, and “secret,” sandy shortcuts.  Seaside was also the filming site for the motion picture movie “The Truman Show” starring Jim Carey.  If sunning on the beach, swimming in the sparkling, emerald Gulf, and long, fascinating walks aren’t enough to keep you busy, there’s plenty more to do in Seaside.  There are 6 tennis courts, 3 pools, an artists’ colony, shopping, shuffleboard, croquet, and excellent dining.  Next to Seaside, is Seagrove Beach, the home base for Emerald Sun Beach Rentals, which got its name from the thick majestic grove of windswept oak trees growing along the beach.  Thanks to the number of homes, shops, and restaurants opening up in the area, Seagrove Beach is fast becoming a very popular destination for tourists and for people looking to purchase their dream vacation home.  Primarily residential, Seagrove Beach is the site of all types of summer and year-round homes, ranging from rustic to palatial.  Vacationers seeking privacy and simplicity are drawn to Seagrove Beach.  If they should feel the urge for more excitement, it’s just a short drive away.  A few minutes east of Seagrove, and you’re in WaterSound Beach.  WaterSound Beach is comprised of 256 acres of towering dunes and natural pines.  Wooden pathways and bridges wander through the natural surrounding and render access to the sugar-fine, white sand and emerald green water of the Gulf of Mexico.  WaterSound is guaranteed to be one of the finest waterfront developments on the Gulf Coast of Florida.  Just a few miles east is Seacrest Beach, a quiet residential community, and finally, near the east end of Scenic 30-A, you’ll find Rosemary Beach.  Rosemary Beach has taken a prominent position among other esteemed gulf front towns and is a permanent fixture in its coastal surrounding.  The West Indies style architecture and surrounding natural vegetation are the principal elements on which the town was founded.  The beach side environment and classic small town atmosphere make this quaint community one of the most highly sought after vacation destinations on the Beaches of South Walton.  You’ll find the unique charm and elegance of each community holds its own persona and distinct way of life.

Whether it’s the breathtaking natural beauty, relaxing surroundings, the rich pleasure of luxury, or charming communities, Beaches of South Walton continues to enchant visitors creating a destination like none other.  It is a hidden world of relaxation and elegance – a destination for everyone and every lifestyle unlike any other.
