Sandcastles by the Sea 402 - 30A, Community Pool, Steps to the Beach!
Sandcastles by the Sea 402 -
Sandcastle living is the best way to spend a beach vacation! Sandcastles by the Sea is a quaint condo rental located in Blue Mountain Beach on Scenic Highway 30A. Only a short distance from the crystalline shores of the Gulf Coast, it is the ideal place for a relaxing coastal vacay.
The condo’s interiors feature sand-toned walls and coastal decor, which keep your mind in the beach zone. With three bedrooms, two and a half bathrooms, and comfortable living space, this vacation rental can accommodate up to eight visitors.
An open living room creates a cozy gathering place on the main floor. It features a seating area made up of a beige sleeper sofa, a matching love seat, and a patterned armchair situated around a rug and drink table. The arrangement faces a flatscreen TV mounted above an elegant credenza. A set of sliding glass doors filter in warm sunlight and lead to a breezy balcony. A raised table and four chairs create a relaxed place for guests to enjoy the Florida air and coastal breezes. The balcony extends across the front of the condo to the dining area, where another set of glass doors lead back inside. The colorful dining room features a glass-topped table, six chairs, and a hanging chandelier. A large, open kitchen overlooks the dining and living rooms. It includes a breakfast bar with three raised chairs, granite countertops, and everything needed for fun culinary delights.
Upstairs, the cottage-style master bedroom has a king-size bed, bedside tables and dressers, a private bathroom with a walk-in shower, and access to a romantic balcony. Both guest bedrooms offer a relaxed feel. Each has a queen-size bed, a flatscreen TV, and share a full hall bath with a tub-shower combination.
In addition to comfortable accommodations, guests who stay at Sandcastles by the Sea enjoy other perks. You have access to a community pool, as well as BBQ grills. The beach access is only a couple minute walk from the rental. Blue Mountain Beach itself is also the perfect setting for a beach vacation, featuring a laidback atmosphere with convenient shops and restaurants. Local and visitor favorites include the Blue Mountain Beach Creamery and For the Health of It. Its central location places beach vacationers near other Scenic Highway 30A communities, each of which boasts its own unique stores, boutiques, galleries, restaurants, bars, seasonal festivals, and outdoor concerts.

Second Floor: Living Room with Queen Sleeper Sofa and Balcony Access, Kitchen, Dining, Powder Room, Laundry.
