NatureWalk 30A is in a prime location on Hwy 395 off of 30A, next to Watercolor and Seaside and surrounded by Point Washington State Forest. Explore the endless trails by bike or on foot.

NatureWalk 30A has a private path “Lilly Lane Beach Trail” to San Juan Avenue which has beach access. This path goes through the beautiful state forest which also surrounds NatureWalk 30A. Several additional beach accesses are also located along 30A within a mile. The beaches at Seaside or Watercolor, as well as Grayton Beach State Park are a short walk, bike ride or golf cart ride away.

NatureWalk’s “Gathering Place” boasts a large zero-entry pool, a heated lap pool, hot tub, lounge chairs, tables and chairs, a shaded kiddie pool, hammocks, playground, outdoor kitchen with gas grills, and gas fire pit for family enjoyment. You will also find volleyball courts, pickleball courts, basketball, and another playground nearby.

Area Attractions:

According to Travel and Leisure, 30A’s 26 miles of idyllic coastline make it the #1 US summer hot spot-on Airbnb. The beaches of South Walton County are some of the world’s best with sugar white sand and clear emerald green waters.

South Walton County boasts unique shopping, fantastic cuisine and the incredible architecture that makes 30A famous. There are activities for everyone: paddleboard rentals, kayak rentals, biking, paragliding, fishing, golfing, summer beginner surfing, swimming, tennis -- you'll find it all right here on 30A.

The town of Seaside is one of the original communities along 30A. Being in a home next to Seaside is important as the town caters to people walking, biking or in a LSV. The town infuses old Florida charm into its first new Urbanist community. Seaside was named the “Best Beach on Earth” for families by Travel + Leisure magazine and is included in USA Today’s “Top 10 Best Beach Towns in Florida.”

The town is forever known for being featured in the Truman Show with Jim Carrey. Seaside has its own Farmer's Market, Repertory Theater, spa, shops, restaurants and Seaside’s iconic tiny post office is one of the most photographed post offices in the world. Seaside offers yoga, movie nights and family friendly events throughout the year.

The WaterColor, Florida community begins across the street from the Naturewalk entrance on 395. It starts at the the Gulf of Mexico and wraps around Seaside to Naturewalk. Watercolor is a beach town with rich landscaping and incredible parks that blend perfectly into Northwest Florida’s natural scrub oak and palmetto. It is home to picturesque Western Lake, South Walton’s largest coastal dune lake. Both gravel and paved paths and bridges are throughout Watercolor, great for biking or walking. At Watercolor’s boathouse you can do stand up paddle-boarding, kayaking, or canoeing. Watercolor is also home to the James Beard award-winning restaurant, Fish Out of Water that has great food and amazing ocean views.

Thanksgiving 2023

"Our Thanksgiving stay at Pura Vida was wonderful. We have 7 adults, so the large beds were perfect. The unit was fully furnished with all of the cookware and utensils needed to cook large meals. The golf cart ran like a charm and had fun lights that my grandson loved. Real Joy was wonderful to work with. They were timely with the information we needed, patient with my less-than-timely responses, and worked with us every step of the way. Highly recommend Pura Vida in Naturewalk!"

Beautiful house, Golf Cart not available, terrible management

First, the good: The home was beautiful and in a great neighborhood. The photos are accurate, it is very well maintained, decorated, and clean. Well stocked kitchen, in terms of appliances, pans, etc. Just know that there are zero food/spices/cooking spray. Not even salt/pepper. Second, the "meh": It is frustrating to spend a big chunk of money and not have a closet to hang clothes in the main master. The upstairs master bedroom closet was locked, owner's property. I've seen locked hall closets etc. in rentals in the past, but this is the first I've stayed in that locked the master closet, without any alternative. We had nowhere to hang our clothes, store our shoes, put away our suitcases. A dresser doesn't work for everything. Now the huge frustration of our stay. The listing says that the house comes with a "Moke", a cute golf cart. For us, this was the biggest factor in selecting this house over other similar ones. It was important to us, because the house is over a mile from the beach, and parking is problematic. When we arrived, (Saturday afternoon) the golf cart wasn't working. We called RealJoy Realty immediately, and were told a technician would be by in the morning to fix it, or get a replacement. That would have been fine, but that isn't what happened. Nobody called me back, so by mid-afternoon the next day I called them. This was just the beginning of a total run-around fiasco. I talked to 8-10 different people, trying to get resolution. I had to tell the story over and over. Once I was told that the listing didn't come with a golf cart (wrong). Once I was told that the HOA doesn't allow golf carts (also wrong). Often I was told someone was working on it and would call me back (also wrong.) I was assured that we would be refunded market value of the amenity that we were missing, for the days it was unavailable (didn't happen). I'm running out of characters so I'll sum it up. I spent hours on the phone Saturday through Tuesday, trying to get it resolved. We finally were given a rental Tuesday night. There wasn't a broom or vacuum, but lots of sand. When I called the realty company, they told me "there is a handheld vacuum in the laundry room". They actually suggested I vacuum the floors with a 2 inch wide Dustbuster! I told them it was absurd to have no way to clean the floors. Midweek, after three requests, they dropped off a broom and vacuum. The house is great, but if anything goes wrong, dealing with the agency is awful.
