Most beach houses give you a view. 4 Boats on the Beach gives you three — one on every floor, all facing the Gulf, all completely unobstructed. This three-story beachfront home in the gated Barrier Dunes community is built for groups who want to be as close to the water as possible without actually sleeping on the sand. Step out of virtually any room and you're on a private deck watching the emerald Gulf stretch to the horizon.

Wake up in the king master suite on the top floor, slide open the balcony door, and let the Gulf breeze be your alarm clock. Mornings at 4 Boats on the Beach start slow — coffee on the deck, pelicans gliding past at eye level, the kids already asking about the beach. By mid-morning you're set up on the sand with chairs and the beach cart loaded from the stocked closet downstairs. Afternoons might mean a dip in the gulf-front community pool, a round of family games inside, or simply rotating between decks as the sun moves across the sky. By evening, the main-level deck is the place to be — gas grill fired up, the whole group gathered around the Polywood dining table, watching the Cape San Blas sunset do its thing.
The main level is an entertainer's dream, with a huge sectional sofa, open dining area, and a spacious fully equipped kitchen that can handle meals for the whole crew. A convenient half bath keeps the flow easy when everyone's coming in from the beach.
