Private, gated waterfront estate on the shores of Choctawhatchee Bay.

The bay is full of life: watch mullet jump, catch crabs, watch for dolphins and sting rays. If you enjoy fishing, try night fishing on the dock, too. Bay charters come to the waters around our dock on their excursions! If you bring a boat, Cessna Landing is just under 2 miles away with a very nice boat launch. Tie your boat to our dock for the duration of your visit. Boating, paddle boarding, kayaking, fishing, swimming, sunset watching, bicycling and campfires are a few things to enjoy while at the 30A Bay Hideaway. Sunset viewing deck, bay beach/dock, fire pit and an outdoor shower and sink with hot water and an outdoor mini-fridge are included in the listing. Owners are not onsite during rental periods and the property is limited to one RV site so you can be sure you will have the property all to yourself!

4 nights at 30A Bay Hideaway

We've been sojourning here for almost five years. We drive our camper from Kansas City to the Everglades for the winter and stop here at the Bay Hideaway to and from to visit our six grandchildren that live in the area. It is a perfect Hideaway, with no 'stranger danger', a huge lawn to play on, a shallow bay for the kids to have fun catching crabs, a very long dock, a tree house, not to mention the quiet and the gorgeous views. I love the porch, and the trees and marsh for the excellent birdwatching. In the four days we were here this visit we saw over 15 types of birds including a Clapper Rail, a Bald Eagle, and lots of shore birds. Crystal and Nathan have been helpful and a pleasure to communicate with... very highly recommend staying here!

Book it! We felt so lucky that we found this spot super last minute. The hosts were so kind to allow us to book the same day we were arriving. We stayed a week in this paradise. Sunrises and sunsets were world class. The campsite itself was level and clean with full hookups. Getting our 36’ fifth wheel back there was no problem at all. We can’t wait to stay here the next time we’re in town visiting family.

7 nights at Sand Between Your Toes

If you’re looking for a convenient spot to park your camper near the Laguna Beach end of Front Beach Road, this location is a good choice! The hosts live on-site in their own camper while building a tiny home, and they couldn’t be more helpful. When we discovered a wasp nest in the fire pit, the host ran to the store and took care of it within 10 minutes. We also had an issue with power to our outdoor kitchen area, and he generously lent us his personal extension cord to make sure we were all set. The property is fully enclosed with a private gate that wraps around the entire lot. You get your own key to the gate each time you come and go, which made it feel extra safe—even though the area itself already felt safe. There’s more than enough space to park a large camper (ours is 38 ft with 3 slides) plus an additional vehicle or two. There are sand spurs, which is pretty common near the beach, so just be mindful not to walk around barefoot—and for your pups too!

It’s a beautiful spot! Close to amenities but feels like you’re out in the woods. You can see that there is a neighbor but you don’t hear or see them. I would definitely go back and bring the grandkids

Love camping on the bay. Everything is always well-kept and just as pictured. We really enjoy kayaking, bird watching, fishing,… we used a cast net to catch our own bait and caught fish off the dock. We saw crabs, stingrays, and even a gator swimming by this year. The sunrises and sunsets are great. This is one of our favorite places to camp. Thanks for sharing your great place!

This is our second time staying at this property in the last year and a half in Robin our 32 foot Class C Jayco. There is a very large fence around the property for complete privacy from surrounding neighbors. We always bring our ebikes with us so we can visit our kids at a local resort property on the beach 2 miles away. Public beach access is less than one mile away. If we needed groceries, Publix is 1.1 miles away. There is sidewalk access everywhere including some local restaurants. Brian is a great host and always quick to respond to any questions we have. Thanks again Brian!!
