Direct beach access! Aqua has been designed from the ground up to be as memorable as the beach itself! During the day, Aqua offers an endless variety of options for creating active family memories. Being located on a hard-to-find gulf-front subdivision means no loading up the car and no crossing busy highways in the summer heat to get to the beach. In fact, it’s less than a 3 minute walk from Aqua’s front door down our shaded neighborhood path to our incredible, secluded, sugar sand beach. (And don’t forget to enjoy our incredible underwater life!) Coastal Dune Lakes are rare water bodies that occur in only 3 places in the world. Aqua is fortunate to be located on one of the largest on highway 30A...which creates incredible opportunities to use our (free, included) paddleboards, and kayaks to create forever-memories on this incredible natural phenomenon. 30A is famous for our 17 mile bike/jogging path that offers absolutely stunning coastal scenery that has made our area famous. Aqua boasts a very-rare, private gate in its backyard that opens directly to this world-famous attraction. Aqua is designed for the enjoyment of kids...and the comfort of adults. Featuring 3 en-suite masters (including a downstairs master with frameless glass shower and freestanding tub) as well as two bunk rooms for the kids, Aqua boasts a sleeping capacity for 16 and parking for up to 8 vehicles. Need a chillax day? Have the kids swim in Aqua’s full-size pool (seasonally heated from October 1 to April 30) for the day. Or grill up some fresh-caught seafood in Aqua’s outdoor dining area. Enjoy the kiddos’ surprise as Aqua’s rear pool deck begins glow-in-the-dark as night falls! Need a day out of the sun? Aqua’s family game closet will keep Guests of all ages entertained. Curated to be both entertaining and to create family bonding time. Ready for bed? While the grown ups will enjoy the high quality king beds with 3 private en-suite baths, the kiddos will have to cross the glass walkway through circling sharks, curious turtles and friendly dolphins to make way to their galley-style berths. We promise...Aqua will create forever-memories! There are many vacation rentals, but only one Aqua: the under-the-sea experience. We encourage you to secure your preferred dates before it’s too late! \----------------------------------------------------------- Save for Later: Don’t forget to click the “Save” button to make it easier to find this property later!

We're sorry, absolutely no exceptions. NOTE: Check in time is 4:00 PM CST. Check out time is 10:00 AM CST. Our staff needs time to properly clean, sanitize, inspect and maintain the property. Because the property is extremely heavily booked we are unable to offer early check ins, late check outs, early parking or luggage drop offs. NOTE: Guests are not permitted to have anything shipped or mailed (through a carrier such as USPS, UPS, or Fedex) to the property. Please be aware that the property does not have postal service and your packages will most likely be returned by the carrier.

NOTE: If you would like to reserve more than 11 months in advance, you must use the VRBO website, rather than the VRBO app. The VRBO app only shows the calendar for up to 11 months which means that it can only be used for reservations less than a year away.

Many of our Guests have pet allergies and rely on us to provide a pet free environment.

This was a great vacation house for the kids. There are so many activies to keep the kids entertained from the beach within the neighborhood to the lake also in the neighborhood. There are A LOT of stairs leading to the beach so if you have someone that struggles with stairs like we did, there is another beach access that has a ramp leading to beach just 5 miles away. It was such a great place to stay at. Very clean and the owners were quick to respond to any questions that we had. Definitely will be staying there again! ##### Jennifer W.
