20 Seaside Ave #C & D, Santa Rosa Beach, FL 32459

The picturesque beaches of WaterColor, Florida, have long been a favorite escape for Texans. The sugar-white sand and gin-clear waters will have you feeling like you’re vacationing on a far-flung tropical island … making it the perfect locale for a second home. You’ll want to spend as much time there as possible of course, but it’s also a smart option for renting out when you’re not enjoying it yourself.

This week’s Splurge vs. Steal has us comparing the virtues of these two beach home beauties: the luxe townhouse Splurge in the middle of the action with panoramic views or the spacious, more secluded Steal in the trees?

You couldn’t get any closer to the action than this beautiful townhouse right in Seaside’s main square and just a few minutes walk to the beach. Surrounded by some of the town’s best restaurants, shopping and food trucks (Frost Bites snow cone, anyone?), this home has immediate access to every entertainment the area has to offer.

Location is a top highlight, but so is that unbelievable rooftop living space. It’s complete with cabanas for sunbathing, a grill for epic cookouts and panoramic views of one of the most desirable beachlines in the U.S.

Plus, let’s be honest– the interior is stunning. It’s clean, it’s bright with that classic beach home white and wicker vibe.
