Best 30A Florida Hotels for a Long Weekend Getaway

Although I think a 30A vacation is best enjoyed by staying a full week, sometimes you just need to get to your favorite beach town for a long weekend! This task should't be hard, however, during peak season many places only rent out for a minimum of 1 week. Do not fear - I've got you covered with some of the best 30A Florida hotels that cater to long weekend getaways!


In my opinion, I think hotels are the best option when staying on 30A for a shorter period of time. There's no cleaning fees with hotels (unlike vacation rentals), and there aren't restrictions such as a minimum night stay when you book a hotel. There are not many hotels on 30A, but in this post I will share my favorite hotel options on 30A that are perfect for your long weekend beach trip!

Watercolor Inn's Pool Overlooking the Beach

This is the only hotel on 30A that is directly beachfront! The rooms here have fabulous views and this is a great luxe hotel option in the heart of Watercolor. The pool here is amazing and is located right on the beach. This hotel is walking distance from shopping and dining within the Watercolor community - and even has an amazing restaurant inside of the hotel called Fish Out of Water if you want dining with Gulf Views! Watercolor is the community right next to Seaside - so you have easy access to the shopping and dining in Seaside while you are there. Due to it being the only hotel that is directly beachfront, this hotel can be on the more expensive side - but you are waking up to Gulf Views every morning!


The Pearl Hotel in Rosemary Beach

This is an upscale hotel in Rosemary Beach complete with pool and spa. Many of the rooms have gulf views. The hotel couldn't be in a more perfect location. Although it is not directly beachfront, it is just steps to the beach access and your complimentary beach loungers will be waiting for you! The hotel is also walking distance to all of the shopping and dining in Rosemary Beach. Just know that a perfect location also comes with an expensive price tag on 30A. This will be one of the more expensive hotel options on 30A - but worth the splurge if you are wanting to be in a prime location!


The Lodge Hotel in Seagrove on 30A

This hotel on 30A is located in Seagrove. It is the most budget friendly hotel option on 30A. Every room comes with a mini kitchen that has a good sized fridge (with freezer), a dishwasher, a microwave, silverware, plates, bowls, cups, toaster, and coffee maker. The hotel has a pool, business room, and a fitness center. There are great shopping and dining options walking distance from the hotel. The hotel is a 10 minute walk from the beach (which is why the hotel is less expensive) or a few min drive to the beach access by car. The closest public beach access has plenty of parking and bike racks. (There's a bike rental shop right next to the hotel - perfect for biking to the beach or cruising down 30A and visiting neighboring communities like Seaside) This is a great option for those looking for a budget friendly option on 30A!



The Beach Club at Camp Creek in Water Sound on 30A

This boutique hotel is located in the Watersound Community on 30A. This is a gated community, so if you are wanting privacy and exclusivity this is your spot! There are just 11 rooms in this hotel and when you stay here you get access to the Watersound Beach Club. The Beach Club includes two pools on the beach, loungers, cabanas, towel service and complimentary beach chair and umbrella set up. What's also unique about this hotel is that all the rooms here are suites - which include a kitchen, living room & washer/dryer in addition to a bedroom! The Inn is walking distance to the beach, and there is a great pizza place called Bruno's where the Inn is located. The Big Chill is walking distance away which has plenty of dining and shopping options.



The Camp Creek Inn's Pool

Camp Creek Inn - This hotel is for the golf lovers! When you stay here you get exclusive "member for a stay" access to the Camp Creek Golf Course and Shark's Tooth Golf Course. These are private membership clubs so this is a huge perk if you like to golf! You also get access to the Watersound Beach Club if you stay here, as well as access to tennis and pickleball! The Beach Club includes two pools on the beach, loungers, cabanas, towel service and complimentary beach chair and umbrella set up.



Hibiscus Cafe in Grayton Beach on 30A

Hibiscus B&B - This is for the B&B lovers. This is another budget friendly option located in Grayton Beach on 30A. It includes complimentary breakfast at the delicious Raw and Juicy restaurant that is on site. Lodging ranges from cozy bedrooms to apartments complete with kitchens. The B&B is about a 10 minute walk from the beach, or a few minutes to the beach on a bike. There's also a free public trolley that will take you to the beach and back. Lot's of amazing shopping in dining located in Grayton Beach and the incredible Grayton Beach State Park is a quick car ride away!
