Top 5 Features to Look for When Booking a Condo on 30A
30A is one of the most sought-after vacation destinations, offering stunning beaches, unique coastal towns, and endless activities for relaxation and adventure. Whether you’re planning a family getaway, a romantic retreat, or a solo escape, choosing the right condo is essential for maximizing your 30A experience. We researched and here are the top five features to prioritize when booking a condo on this iconic stretch of Florida’s Gulf Coast and why La Vida Legacy will check all of your boxes:
1. Proximity to the Beach
Let’s face it: the beach is why you’re here! When booking a condo, consider its distance to the shoreline. A beachfront property or a condo within walking distance allows you to soak up the sun, sand, and waves without the hassle of parking or long commutes. Many condos along 30A also offer public beach access, which relates to overcrowding and frustrations of public vs private beaches.
La Vida Legacy offers a specific deeded beach access. The Beachside Villas community provides a free golf cart trolley service from your pick-up spot to the San Roy Beach Access. This access has the beauty of the ocean and Eastern Lake. If you pick the right spot, you can literally be surrounded by water. LVL also has a beautiful PeekAView on the balcony that provides a great view of peace and serenity.
2. Community Amenities
The condo you choose should feel like a home away from home, with added perks. Look for communities with top-notch amenities such as:
-
Pools (heated options are a bonus!)
-
Fitness centers
-
Bike rentals or bike racks
-
Tennis courts or pickleball courts
-
Outdoor grilling areas
-
Walking trails Having these extras can elevate your stay and provide activities for everyone in your group.
La Vida Legacy is in building 10 in the Beachside Villas community. They offer 2 pools, one heated in the winter, on-site bike rentals (you don't have to worry about pick up and drop off), 2 tennis/pickleball courts (6 paddles and balls provided), cornhole boards (bags provided in the condo), shuffleboard, outdoor grilling; one with a lighted patio, and many miles for walking, biking etc. Being beachside of 30A, you are just steps away from bike paths that take you up and down the 30 A highway.
3. Spacious, Comfortable Interiors
When you’re not out exploring 30A, you’ll want a condo that offers a cozy and inviting space to relax. Prioritize properties with:
-
Multiple bedrooms and bathrooms for larger groups
-
Fully equipped kitchens for cooking meals
-
Open-concept living areas
-
Private balconies or patios with scenic views
-
Modern furnishings and coastal decor to set the mood A thoughtfully designed condo can make downtime as enjoyable as your beach days.
Again, La Vida Legacy checks all the boxes. With a modern coastal decor, 2 King bedrooms, and a 3rd room with 4 twin beds (2 twin over twin bunks), this condo can take on many different family arrangments. It's great for large groups of friends, or for a family to travel with the grandparents. We have a fully stocked kitchen, with all the extra amenities. We provide garbage bags, Cascade, Dawn, All Free, Redken Extreme Shampoo/Conditioner, etc.' everything you need and many things you didn't know you needed.

5. Guest Reviews and Host Responsiveness
Nothing speaks louder than the experiences of previous guests. Before booking, take time to read reviews about the condo and its host. Look for feedback that highlights cleanliness, comfort, and exceptional service. Additionally, a responsive and attentive host can make a huge difference if you have questions or need assistance during your stay.
