Golf Cart + Hot Tub + Community Pool | Near the Gulf | 78 Emerald

On the quieter, west-central end of Scenic 30A — in the Blue Mountain Beach neighborhood of Highland Park — 78 Emerald gives a group of up to eleven a coastal home base with a golf cart parked out front and the Gulf a short ride away. The four-bedroom, three-and-a-half-bath layout centers on an open main floor where the kitchen, dining area, and living room share one bright, connected space, the kind of setup where someone can be cooking at the range while the rest of the group spreads out on the sofa in front of the 65-inch TV.

The kitchen is fully stocked and built for real cooking, with high-end appliances, a large refrigerator, plenty of cabinetry, and a dual drip/Keurig coffee maker for however the morning crowd takes its coffee. A dining table with room for eight anchors the shared meals, and when the plates clear, the game room keeps everyone in motion with arcade games.

Sleeping arrangements give the group room to breathe. The main-floor primary is a king suite with its own bath, easy to disappear into after a long beach day. Upstairs, a queen room doubles as a quiet spot to get a little work done and comes with its own bath, while a second queen and a bunk room — full-over-full with a twin trundle, room for five — share a Jack-and-Jill bath between them. A half bath on the main level keeps mornings moving without a line at the sink. The home is set up for families, too, with a pack 'n play, high chair, and in-unit washer and dryer for the realities of traveling with a crew.

Outside, the private porches are furnished with comfortable cushioned seating, creating the perfect spot for a quiet morning coffee, an afternoon read, or an evening glass of wine. Just a short stroll away, the Highland Parks community offers a resort-style pool, hot tub, covered pavilion, outdoor kitchen with built-in grills, a fire pit, and an observation tower with panoramic Gulf views, inviting guests to settle into the relaxed rhythm of life on 30A.

The location earns its keep. The Blue Mountain Beach public access, a soft stretch of white sand and clear Gulf water, sits just down the road — an easy golf-cart hop for a morning by the water. That same short ride lands you near Blue Mountain Bakery for cinnamon rolls worth setting an alarm for, the Blue Mountain Beach Creamery for after-dinner cones, and casual local tables like Cowgirl Kitchen and Mimmo's. A few minutes east, Grayton Beach State Park protects one of the most beautiful shorelines in the state, with coastal dune lakes and nature trails behind the beach; a little farther on, the postcard town of Seaside brings its shops, markets, and open-air food. Head west and Gulf Place Town Center adds more dining, live music, and beach access. It's 30A at its most laid-back, with the whole scenic corridor within an easy drive.
