Located just minutes from Gulf Place, local shops, restaurants, golf courses, and top-rated schools, this home balances relaxed coastal living with everyday practicality. With beach and bay access close at hand, it's a chance to enjoy the best of Santa Rosa Beach living at an exceptional price point.
