Aurea – A name for something warm, rare, and beautifully considered; a place where sunlight, comfort, design, and togetherness blend to create the golden hours of vacation.
Beach mornings without loading the car. Pool afternoons without sharing a single chair. Sunset drinks upstairs while the kids wind down from another day spent barefoot.
The Aurea House was designed around the kind of 30A vacation families actually want. Completely renovated and professionally designed by Liv Vacations, this private 3-bedroom, 3.5-bath home pairs the beauty of a boutique coastal stay with an endless amount of family-friendly convenience; all just 2 minutes east of iconic Seaside, FL. Three spacious levels give everyone room to spread out, while an elevator connects each level when little legs, luggage, or a long beach day make the stairs less appealing. Throughout the home, custom artwork, lighting, furnishings, and collected design pieces give Aurea its own identity. Nothing feels mass-produced or pulled from the standard vacation rental playbook. Your private heated pool sits just beyond the screened porch, creating an effortless indoor-outdoor hangout for the whole family. Stretch out on the hanging daybed, settle into the conversation seating, grill dinner, or move between the pool and porch without ever breaking up the group. Two wrap-around decks create even more room outside, with spaces for morning coffee, dinner for eight, sunrise watching, and sunset cocktails.
A dedicated trail leads directly from the property toward beach access, so Gulf days don't require piling everyone into a vehicle or circling 30A looking for parking. We've also handled much of the packing list for you: adult and children's beach chairs, pool floats and toys, children's water-safety gear, four adult bikes with two child-carrier attachments, a travel crib, highchair, children's dining pieces, and indoor and outdoor games.
FIRST FLOOR | Primary Suite, Bunk Room, Additional Full Bathroom, Laundry, Pool Access
The primary suite centers around a seriously comfortable king bed, layered with plush feather-down bedding and plenty of sleeping pillows. The en suite adds a walk-in shower, double vanity, walk-in closet, and direct exterior access to one of the home’s two outdoor showers. Towering French doors open directly from the bedroom onto the screened pool deck, making the pool, porch, and morning coastal air feel like an extension of the suite itself.
The bunk room sits just down the hall from the primary suite, keeping the little ones close without putting them in the middle of the home’s busiest spaces. Two twin-over-twin bunks are dressed in the same plush bedding found throughout Aurea, while abundant natural light keeps the room bright, playful, and inviting. It’s an easy place for kids to disappear for games, TV, or a quick nap before the next round of beach-and-pool fun.
An additional full bathroom preserves the privacy of the primary suite while giving the rest of the family a convenient place to freshen up, get ready, or make a quick pit stop between outings.
Laundry is conveniently located on this floor, making the transition from beach and pool days back indoors seamless.
Access the breezy screened porch from either the primary suite or main hallway, with several inviting spaces to settle in and unwind. Stretch out on the hanging daybed, gather around the conversation-style seating, or step directly from the porch to the pool for an easy afternoon swim.
SECOND FLOOR | Kitchen, Living, Dining, Half Bathroom
The kitchen pulls off something rare: an open-concept layout that still gives the cook their own space. Beautifully preserved pecky cypress cabinetry, warm brass hardware, abundant natural light, and thoughtfully layered accent lighting give the room as much character as function. Fully stocked with the cookware, tools, and gadgets you’ll actually use, it keeps the family chef connected to the group without putting them in the middle of the action. Dinner at Aurea feels less like a chore and more like part of the vacation.
The living and dining areas keep the design intentionally relaxed and the focus exactly where it belongs: on being together. Natural light pours in throughout the day, while warm ambient lighting softens the room after sunset and gives everyone a reason to linger a little longer. Curl up with a book, break out a game, put on the family’s favorite show or playlist, and settle in for the kind of unforced time together that often becomes the part of vacation everyone remembers most.
With cushioned outdoor seating and dining for eight, indoor and outdoor living on this floor flow seamlessly together, keeping everyone connected whether gathering for a meal, lounging with a drink, or simply enjoying the coastal air.
THIRD FLOOR | Private Suite, Stellar Views
The entire third floor is reserved for a second king suite, offering a level of privacy that feels almost like a retreat within the retreat. Lookout windows on every wall frame the surrounding live oaks, magnolias, and holly, while soaring cathedral ceilings give the space an airy, elevated feel. With its own full bathroom and the same thoughtful comfort found throughout Aurea, this floor feels more like a private carriage house perched above the trees. Start the morning with coffee on the Juliet balcony before heading downstairs to rejoin the family.
