An exceptional opportunity to own in 30A's most exclusive community. 226 Paradise By The Sea is a spacious and luxurious home located 175 steps from the beach. This home features magnificent Gulf views, a secluded courtyard with private pool and spa, and six bedrooms sleeping up to 20 people comfortably. The recent updates to the kitchen, master bed/bath, and the expanded carriage house are a must see. The private guarded community of Paradise By The Sea is one of the nicest neighborhoods in the area, and home to many of 30A's most extravagant properties. 226 is no different, as no detail was spared in the construction of this beautiful home.
