About the host

Hosted by Charlie Finney

Host profile image
We bought the property in 1973 when there was nothing in the area (Not even Seaside). The original house was an old style brick ranch, not beachy at all. I transformed our beach home over the years to a place our family loved. It was strong and survived several hurricanes and storms. Our family grew up spending summers at the beach. When Hurricanes Dennis and Ivan undermined the dunes and compromised the foundation of the house, the structure could not be saved, and the old beach house was demolished. We were able to build our current home on the property in 2008, and we enjoy sharing our treasured beach home for you to enjoy.

Why they chose this property

Very rare property on 30A! Hard to find many homes on the Emerald Coast that have such a large Gulf Front pool. Gulf front covered balconies on every floor. Private beach access from the home puts you directly on the beach.

What makes this property unique

It is our home and we want others to share the experience. It is uniquely situated between two double lots that allows more space between houses than most lots and is located directly on the beach with private beach access.
