Tucked beneath a canopy of mature live oaks on a quiet gravel street in Santa Rosa Beach, 45 May Drive captures the charm of Old Florida while offering the thoughtful craftsmanship and elevated design today's buyers appreciate. Located on the south side of Scenic Highway 30A and within walking distance to the beach, this 4-bedroom, 2,756 square foot coastal cottage was built as the primary residence of a well-known local custom home builder and showcases meticulous attention to detail throughout.

The interior is offered furnished and features curated selections by Canepari Coast Designs, reflecting a refined coastal aesthetic through custom tile work, wallpaper, lighting, and thoughtfully chosen finishes. The kitchen is complemented by a functional scullery, providing additional storage and prep space ideal for entertaining and everyday living. All bedrooms feature en suite bathrooms, offering comfort and privacy for family and guests alike. The flexible top floor living space can serve as a private bedroom, bonus room, or additional entertaining area, providing versatility for full time living or hosting guests.

The outdoor living spaces are a true highlight of the property. Designed for both relaxation and entertaining, the backyard includes a custom outdoor kitchen, tiled outdoor shower, sauna, heated pool, low maintenance turf, lush landscaping, and thoughtfully planned outdoor lighting that creates an inviting atmosphere day and night.

The location further sets this home apart. Enjoy an easy walk to the beach with access to a newly developed county public beach parking area nearby. Local favorites including Old Florida Fish House, Steamboat Grill, and the Shops at Greenway Station are all close by, offering dining, shopping, and entertainment just minutes from home.

45 May Drive offers a rare combination of timeless Florida character, quality construction, and an exceptional outdoor lifestyle in one of Santa Rosa Beach's most desirable settings.
