I checked out a new 30A hotel in 50-degree weather
When the St. Joe Company opened Camp Creek Inn in early 2024, it was something of a departure for the real-estate company, which specializes in Walton County beachfront resorts. Instead of hugging the Gulf side of 30A (as do WaterColor Inn, WaterSound Inn, and the Pearl Hotel), the luxury boutique property is anchored to a 18-hole golf course a mile from the coast. Camp Creek Inn’s biggest selling point isn’t sugar-white beaches, but rather non-beach amenities—its namesake golf course, a two-story wellness center, pickleball courts, even a half-basketball court. Which works out really well when you’re there in too-cold-to-sunbathe weather.

The family of seven soon started pondering how to make life on 30A a year-round thing. In 2020, they switched to full-time coastal life.
