One of the highlights? The heated saltwater pool, perfect for afternoon dips or evening wind-downs with the whole crew. And don’t miss the spiral staircase that leads down to a full wraparound bar—ideal for entertaining or just enjoying a sunset cocktail after the kids are tucked in.
Inside, you’ll find room for everyone, with six thoughtfully arranged bedrooms and five full bathrooms—so no one’s fighting for mirror space. The open layout is made for easy connection, whether you're whipping up pancakes in the kitchen, lounging in one of the cozy living spaces, or catching up over a meal out on the deck.

Solstice is centrally located to some of 30A’s best dining spots, boutiques, bike paths, and of course, the gorgeous white-sand beaches the area is famous for. Want to branch out a bit?
