Gulf-Front Retreat • Pool + Golf Cart • Near Gulf Place | Matarangi

The south wall of this house is almost entirely glass, floor to ceiling, and it earns every inch. Sea oats lean on the dune line, the sand runs white past them, and the Gulf takes over from there — no rooftops, no power lines, nothing between you and the horizon. Matarangi is a three-story beachfront home in Grayton Beach along 30A, where the laid-back coastal setting keeps the Gulf at the center of the stay. The view is the first thing you'll notice and the last thing you'll want to leave.

The main living space is wide open and built for a full house. The chef's kitchen is genuinely equipped — the kind where someone can break down a fresh catch on one counter while somebody else works on cocktails at the other — and it flows straight into the dining and living areas with seating for up to 15 between the long table and the breakfast bar. That's the real luxury of a big group trip: everyone at one table, nobody eating standing up in a corner. In the living room, a 55" flat-screen with Blu-ray and Sonos sound anchors the seating area for rainy afternoons and post-beach movie nights, though most evenings the windows win out over the screen.

Six bedrooms spread across three floors, sleeping 14, with an elevator so nobody has to haul luggage — or a tired kid — up the stairs. The first floor is the kids' domain: a bunk area with two twin-over-twin bunks and its own full bath, sleeping four. The second floor holds five bedrooms — a king suite with a shower and tub, two queen suites each with their own bath, plus a twin-over-twin bunk room and another queen room that share a full bath, with a half bath nearby for good measure. The third floor is where you'll want to claim first: a king bedroom with an ensuite full bath, tucked up at the top of the house. Six full bathrooms and a powder room in total means the morning routine stays civilized. Traveling with little ones? A pack-n-play and high chair are available on request.

Outside, the deck is lined with Adirondack chairs facing the water and a propane grill ready for whatever came off the boat or out of the cooler. The pool is there for the in-between hours, when the Gulf is a little rough or somebody just wants to float with a drink in hand. An outdoor shower handles the sand before it makes it inside — a small thing that changes everything about a beach house. Laundry is on site, so you can pack light and rinse salt out of swimsuits every night. A golf cart comes with the home, which on 30A is less a perk than the actual point: it's how everyone gets around here, and it turns a run for ice cream or a dinner reservation into part of the fun.

There's also a library shelf in the house. Borrow whatever catches your eye during your stay — and if you haven't finished it by checkout, take it with you. Our gift.

Grayton Beach has its own rhythm along 30A—laid-back, a little eclectic, and close enough to the surrounding beach towns that you can explore without giving up that tucked-away feel. Spend the morning around Grayton Beach State Park, where trails, white sand, and a rare coastal dune lake give you plenty of ways to get outside, or follow the Timpoochee Trail by bike and let the day unfold from there. Head east and Seaside is close by for its town square, food trucks, shops, and restaurants, with Alys Beach and Rosemary Beach farther along 30A. Go west toward Blue Mountain Beach for a change of pace and more casual coastal stops. Fill the day with beach towns and bike rides, or skip the itinerary entirely and stay close to the Gulf. Both work especially well here.
