Dare to Dream by AvantStay. Private Beach + Golf Cart. Seacrest Beach

House

3 bedroom sleeps 8 about $191 a night

Private beach access is the headline here. A brand-new four-seater golf cart is parked out front, and it's a 59-second ride to sugar-white sand and that famously emerald water. (Note: the golf cart is for beach and neighborhood use only, not for 30A attractions.) Tucked at the end of a quiet cul-de-sac in the Seacrest Beach community, this 1,700-square-foot retreat trades the crowds for something a little slower. Inside, the open layout keeps everyone connected. The living room flows into a bright kitchen with stainless appliances, a full pantry of essentials, and a round dining table for four under a wrought-iron chandelier.
