Featuring three bedrooms and two-and-a-half bathrooms, the home blends modern elegance with everyday comfort through its bright open-concept layout, stylish finishes, and abundant natural light. The gourmet kitchen is thoughtfully appointed with quartz countertops, custom cabinetry, stainless-steel appliances, a gas cooktop, and a spacious island that serves as the perfect gathering place for family and friends. Just off the living area, a large screened balcony invites quiet mornings and relaxing evenings with picturesque lake views as the backdrop. Designed for both relaxation and convenience, the townhome comfortably accommodates up to eight guests with two king bedrooms and a third bedroom featuring two queen beds. The primary suite provides a private sanctuary with a spa-inspired bathroom, while additional balcony spaces offer even more opportunities to enjoy the serene surroundings. Guests also have access to the community pool and parking for up to three vehicles, including a private garage. Located just a short drive from the sugar-white sands and emerald waters of Santa Rosa Beach, this inviting getaway offers the perfect balance of coastal adventure, comfort, and lakeside tranquillity.

KEY Curation Notes

Lake views, not beach views — the beach is a 5-minute drive. The property overlooks the serene 5-acre Kara Lake from screened balconies on both levels. A car is needed for beach access; this is a pool-and-lake retreat with 30A proximity rather than a beachside booking.

Two kings and a two-queen room — flexible for families or mixed groups. The king master is on the main level with a private en-suite. Two guest bedrooms on the lower level share a single hallway bathroom — the configuration to plan around for groups prioritizing bathroom privacy.

Gourmet kitchen with gas cooktop, quartz counters, and a large island. Well-appointed for groups who want to cook in. The open main-level layout connects kitchen, dining, and living space with sliding doors to the screened balcony.

Community pool overlooks the lake — no wristbands required. A gate code is provided before arrival. A quieter, more residential pool experience than a resort-style property.

Three-car parking (one garage + two driveway spaces). One of the more generous parking allowances for a townhome rental, with overflow at the front of the community near the pool.

Washer/dryer in-unit. Practical for families or longer stays.

WiFi is available but reliability is not guaranteed. Bring a personal hotspot if connectivity matters. KEY.co can arrange grocery delivery before check-in — the Santa Rosa Beach Publix is less than a mile away.
