Have owned here 11 years and lived here for 6.
Wonderful investment, love being this close yet not right on the water… coupled with the health benefits of being here (too many to list) and the “things to do” all along 30A…all add up to not only a great place to vacation but rather a great investment financially, personally and physically! Living here in Seacrest on 30A in South Walton was the best move ever✨🏠🌊

This summer we celebrate 30 amazing years of Seacrest Beach! 🌴 Our community was established in 1996 by George Dana “Doodle” Harris and has since become the home and slice of paradise to so many families! 🌊

Here’s to 30 more incredible summers to come!
