About this property
Surfing Bear by Stay on 30a
The Space:
Welcome to 'Surfing Bear', a thoughtfully curated, newly renovated in 2026 three-story coastal retreat designed for effortless 30A living.
Perfect for group stays, the home comfortably sleeps 12 with three king bedrooms and an oversized bunk room kids love. The layout is what sets it apart, an open-concept kitchen and main living area for gathering, plus a second den so everyone has space to spread out. Five porches offer room for morning coffee, afternoon shade, and evening drinks, with a third-floor porch delivering unforgettable sunset views.
Located in Seacrest Beach just off Scenic Highway 30A and next to Alys Beach, Surfing Bear is tucked between Rosemary Beach and Alys Beach placing you moments from dining, shopping, and the best of 30A. Walk to the beach, bike to nearby communities, and enjoy the ease of a stay where a car is rarely needed.
Inside, each en-suite bedroom is designed as a private retreat, while the spacious bunk room makes it ideal for families or groups. The home is perfectly suited for 2–3 families or a girls getaway, offering the right balance of shared spaces and quiet corners.
With parking for four cars (a rare 30A perk) and six complimentary bikes included, getting around is simple. Guests also enjoy private deeded beach access, a nearby tram stop, and a resort-style community pool just moments away.
Whether you’re biking to dinner, heading to the beach, or unwinding on the porch at sunset, Surfing Bear offers a relaxed, elevated, and truly walkable 30A escape.
