Short answer: Bellamar is a gated, short-term-rental-restricted community on the west end of 30A in Santa Rosa Beach, with Mediterranean-influenced homes, deeded beach access directly across 30A, and the Santa Rosa Golf & Beach Club next door for optional golf, dining, and private beach club membership.
You have probably driven past Bellamar without realizing it is there. That is part of the point.
What the community is
A gated community on the west end of 30A, bordered on one side by the Santa Rosa Golf Club, with the Santa Rosa Golf & Beach Club just across the street. Short-term rentals are restricted, so the streets stay calm and residential year-round, a very different feel from the busier beach communities nearby.
Architecture and homes
A mix of newer construction and established residences, so each home has its own character rather than a repetitive look. Most homes follow a Mediterranean influence: stucco exteriors, barrel tile roofs, mature landscaping. Interiors run from modern and light-filled to more traditional, on generously sized lots that keep the neighborhood open and spacious.
Amenities and location
The standout amenity is deeded beach access right on 30A, private and a short walk from the front door. Pair that with optional Santa Rosa Golf & Beach Club membership for golf, a private beach club, and Gulf-front dining outside the gate. The west end of 30A is the quieter side, with the better-known communities further east. You are minutes from Gulf Place shops and dining and a short drive to Blue Mountain Beach and Grayton Beach.
