The coast here is flat and honest. The road thins out, the houses sit on their pilings, and the Gulf does what it has always done, roll in, pull back, and leave you with salt in the air and quiet in your chest. This is Gilchrist, just past Crystal Beach, where you can still hear yourself think.
Inside, the house is made for real living, not posing. Four bedrooms and two baths give everyone space to breathe, and the layout is built for a group that actually wants to enjoy each other.
The space
• Four bedrooms. Two baths. Room to spread out and still come together.
• Sleeps up to 11 comfortably—no crowding, no stepping over one another.
• King bed for those who sleep with purpose
• Queen bed for early risers
• Three bunk beds for kids, cousins, or the friend who doesn’t mind
• A full kitchen. Solid and ready—cook, serve, and stay a while.
• The living room settles in at night. An electric fireplace takes the edge off and keeps you there longer than planned.
• Thoughtful décor. Nothing loud, nothing forced—just right.
• Step outside and slow down. A hot tub waits under open coastal sky.
• The wind softens. Time moves the way it should on vacation.
• After the sun and salt, come inside and stay easy. Games, puzzles, and books.
• If you want a coastal getaway that feels easy the moment you arrive—this is it.
Guest access
You are free to use the entire home, deck, downstairs patio and the hot tub. The attic is off limits, exceptions will be to check wifi router.
