We stayed for a long weekend in July. 30A Thyme is so cute. We loved it was on a shady gravel road. Very cozy. All the furnishings and fixtures are stylish and lovely. Beds were all very comfortable. My family stayed in the top floor room that has the bunks. Lots of stairs (36 I think my son counted) but even 2 of us in our 30s had no issue. This is not a dig, we knew stairs were involved, just reassuring anyone else. :) The provided beach chairs are the standard Tommy Bahama, so they are backpack, which makes transporting them to the beach super easy. Perfect beach chair in my opinion. The walk to the Eastern Lake Beach Access is very easy. I had never been to this part of the beach before. I HIGHLY recommend it, but note that you do have to cross through waist deep brackish water. (Apparently this isn't always the case but was our entire stay.) We did not mind this, AND I think it's a bonus because it means there are less people on this part of the beach. We carried our stuff above our heads no problem. The dune lake water area is perfect for kids of all ages. Pro tip - we saw people using inflatable boat rafts to ferry their belongings across. We did not use the Rams gate beach access but did walk by it, and it's very close as well. We'd absolutely stay here again. No complaints.
