Residence inAlys Beach, Florida

A five-bedroom courtyard house in the white-walled heart of Alys Beach, on the quietest stretch of Scenic 30A. Lime-stucco walls hold the day's heat and give it back at dusk; a shaded loggia opens onto a private court where a single dark fountain is the only sound. The Gulf is two hundred steps away, past a roofline the town's code keeps low and level.

Ten guests across five bedrooms, each with its own bath, and a rooftop terrace that clears the parapets for the sunset. Bicycles wait by the gate for the eighteen miles of the 30A path; beach service is arranged through the same concierge network that serves the rest of the collection. The residence is provisioned before you arrive.
