The Market

Why 30A

Scenic Highway 30A stretches 24 miles along Florida's Gulf Coast through some of the most architecturally distinct and highly valued beach communities in the Southeast. Towns like Seaside, Rosemary Beach, WaterColor, Alys Beach, and WaterSound attract buyers who want more than a beach house, they want a curated lifestyle.

30A properties command premium prices, median values often exceed $1M, and for good reason. The area's planned communities, strict design standards, and limited inventory create lasting demand. Vacation rental income on 30A can be exceptional, with peak-season weeks generating $5,000–$15,000+ for well-located properties.

Ty Jackson brings vacation rental expertise and investment property analysis to every 30A transaction, helping buyers understand true rental potential, HOA restrictions, and long-term appreciation fundamentals before making an offer.

30A Communities

Seaside & Rosemary Beach

Iconic planned communities with strict architectural codes, walkable town centers, and some of the highest price-per-square-foot on the Gulf Coast.

WaterColor & WaterSound

Resort-style communities with private beach clubs, lagoon pools, and boardwalk access. Ideal for buyers who want resort amenities with residential privacy.

Alys Beach & Beyond

Alys Beach's whitewashed architecture and Bhutan-inspired design is unlike anywhere else on 30A. Santa Rosa Beach offers more attainable entry points into the corridor.
