Sweet Tea - A Beautiful 3 Story Home- Huge Porches & Gulf Views, 250 yards to the Gulf; Private Pool. Custom Home completed Spring, 2016 in Gulf Trace - SUNDAY to SUNDAY rental - 7 days minimum

Great Gulf views and only 250 yards to the beach! Private Pool with large sun deck. Check out our Pictures! Surrounded by the Grayton Beach State Park, the Gulf Trace neighborhood provides an oasis in the

30A community. Thirty years after first renting in the quiet of this isolated retreat, we returned to build our dream home 250 steps from the beach. Many years of experience owning beach front condos enabled us to create a custom home with the feeling of being in a tree house and looking out to the dune lake, old Grayton and Gulf. With a reverse floor plan, the third floor features a living room, large kitchen with sitting area and 9’ island, and dining room maximizing views and privacy. Deep porches that wrap around to the east and south enhance the living space as they overlook the pool, sunrises and sunsets. Every feature of the home was personally selected for its quality including distressed walnut floors and beams, ship lap ceiling, marble counters and original art. With ample seating on twin couches and large swivel chairs, the living room encourages you to put your bare feet up. A custom metal and glass mosaic focal point of the room is as intriguing as the beach itself. The roomy kitchen provides space for many cooks to prep or relax and watch tv with four comfortable bar stools and a sitting area for two. The dining room with custom made 66” dining table seats six and has windows on three sides and French doors out to the porch where an outdoor dining area protects from the late day sun. The large custom art in the dining room represents the Beach Box Houses of Melbourne, Australia. The second floor will sleep 10 comfortably in three special bedrooms and a queen bunk alcove. The south, King Master Bedroom is once again wrapped with deep porches on the south and east. A restful and beautiful room, it has a modern seating which allows for a great place to read or make a call. Custom art in the room brings back memories for the family. A large dresser and walk in closet provide plenty of storage. An ensuite master bath with shellstone floors, separate tub and shower with marble accents provides a private getaway. Layers of bedding adorn on the “slept all night” comfy foam mattresses. The second king Master on the east also has French doors that open to the restful porch where you can take in a beautiful sunrise and enjoy the porch swing. Custom shell and glass lamps on vintage nightstands flank the distressed pine headboard. A barn door hides the closet. With a custom sliding glass door on the large double shower, the bathroom is romantic with shellstone floors, delicate glass pendants and Lumen marble double sink custom vanity. The Queen bedroom on the north has the feeling of being on a sailboat with built-in chest and closet. It opens to the dressing area of the third bathroom, then to the wet area with a combination tub/shower. The custom shower curtain of recycled sails is appliqued with your new favorite beach address, 14 GSD. The custom Queen Bunk alcove is inlaid with distressed walnut and under bed storage for continuation of the “sailboat” feeling. The separate laundry room with full size washer and dryer next to the bunks provides a second vanity/dressing area. All this is accessed on the first floor by an elevator wrapped with stairs. From the entry, the sand room leads to a large half bath and full size refrigerator on the way to the beautiful 12’ X 24’ pool and roomy pool deck area. A pool alarm indicates exterior door to pool area has been opened. Outdoor speakers can play music from your phone. Spacious covered porch allows for a place out of the sun. The pool deck area is surrounded by native scrub oaks with their twisted trunks providing filtered sun and shade as it moves during the day. A dining set, sun deck chairs and chaise lounges will give everyone their favorite spot. A grill on the covered porch will provide many memorable meals. A fully enclosed out enclosed outdoor shower features warm water to wash away the day’s sand before going in the pool or home. It has taken us almost two years to design and build “Sweet Tea”. Utmost care is expected from guests. IMPORTANT NOTE:

The use of portable cribs in the bedrooms or closets or laundry room and baby gates on the stairs are not feasible in this home. This is a 3 story house with open stairs and is NOT SUITABLE for infants or toddlers - sorry. SUNDAY to SUNDAY: 7 NIGHTS ONLY

NO PETS, NO SMOKING, MAXIMUM 10 GUESTS, MAXIMUM 4 VEHICLES, NO CHILDREN IN ELEVATOR WITHOUT AN ADULT, NO FIREWORKS, BEDDING MAY CHANGE AS CLEANING IS REQUIRED, ANY EXCESSIVE CLEANING OR DAMAGE WILL BE DEDUCTED FROM THE SECURITY DEPOSIT.

Newest addition to Sweet Tea. The porch swing is on the 2nd floor and is a great place for sunrise, good breeze, and looking at the stars. There is even a glimpse of the Gulf.

The Gulf and Florida sky are starting out the summer beautifully

The short video shot by the talented Chas Galloway with 30A Vibe gives a good overview of Sweet Tea and the Gulf Trace neighborhood. You can see the Gulf, Alligator Lake and the home's location relative to both. It looks even better on a sunny day !!

Gulf Trace circa 1985
This house is named Magnolia Hill and it is still in the neighborhood but is now painted seafoam green.
Sweet Tea is 2 houses from this one.
We stayed here in May1985 when it was "way out there !"

Green flag day at our neighborhood access in Gulf Trace !!
This is the entrance that is 250 yards from Sweet Tea.

The pictures are from June 2014 and is a typical day at Gulf Trace beach. Actually it was really hot that day and was especially quiet - but there aren't ever 3 rows of beach chairs !

Photographers say the best light is just after sunset - also a good time for a twilight flyover.

Top 5 Reasons you will like visiting Sunday to Sunday:

1. Traffic isn't backed up for 30 miles when you exit I-10 to come to the beach

2. You can go to the grocery store or WalMart and still find a buggy when you get there the first night to stock up

3. On Friday night you can enjoy yourself while everyone else is busy packing up

4. See #1 above - when you leave out on Sunday the traffic isn't backed up for 30 miles

and the Top Reason:

5. You get the beach all to yourself on Saturday !

It is less than 250 yards from Sweet Tea to the white sand beach and the Gulf through the neighborhood beach access. Maybe the next Google Earth photo will show the house !!

The Master Bedroom is on the 2nd floor and opens to the porch through French doors. The Master Bath includes double vanities, soaking tub (with a little bit of a Gulf view) and glass shower

Dining on the porch with a Gulf view. You can see Grayton Beach across the dunes of the State Park. Nice place for dinner, or lunch, or breakfast !

Sweet Tea wasn't built yet when this picture was made - but the lot is in the lower right corner of this picture.

The art in the Dining Room resembles a beach in South Walton - but is inspired by the Brighton Beach Boxes near Melbourne, Australia. Check them out :
