This is a fantastic location with Gulf Place Town Center only 1.5 miles to the West and Watercolor, Grayton Beach, Seaside, Seacrest and Rosemary Beach just minutes away to the East.

30A is a fantastic destination, the beaches are some of the world’s best with sugar white sand and emerald green waters. You will find plenty of beach accesses along a 17 mile stretch of Santa Rosa Beach. It boasts unique shopping, fantastic cuisine and the incredible architecture that makes 30A famous, there are activities for everyone; kayak rentals, bike rentals, paragliding, fishing, golfing, hiking, swimming, tennis -- you'll find it all right here.
The snorkelers in your group will love the new artificial reef called Sea Turtle Reef, deployed in 2017.

The Sea Turtle Reef is at a depth of 12-19 feet. We strongly recommend that snorkelers use a kayak, paddleboard, or other flotation device when visiting the snorkel reefs. Sea conditions can and do change quickly and often. Enjoy!

It was a really nice house, but more expensive in comparison to others in the area and had less extras.
Very good condition, very clean. Spacious. No bikes or gold cart. Many properties provide these and are cheaper than this house. I found this out after I paid for this house.- Reviewed On: 7/19/2025

Nice property
The property was nice overall. We would definitely stay here again! It is located in Highland Park. There is a great pool that we had access to. That was a nice addition when we wanted out of the sand! One downside, however, was the overall cleanliness. It was nice, clean enough, and kept up well. However, we found wrappers under furniture, there was dust buildup on some of the light switches, and some of the kitchen gadgets were not clean and had residue from the previous tenants. Overall, a nice stay though!- Reviewed On: 5/30/2025

The house was beautiful, well appointed, comfortable, and clean! The pool was lovely. The little walking paths throughout the neighborhood were a fun little bonus as well. Very cute neighborhood! Conveniently located near restaurants and shops. The only downside was that it was a little further to the beach than what we expected. A 25 minute walk to the public beach access. It was a very short drive, however the parking lot is small and it was very difficult to ever find parking at the public beach access lot. But - all in all it was a great trip and a wonderful house.- Reviewed On: 3/14/2025

Very nice beachy house
Our family of five had a nice time staying at this property. It was very clean (especially important to us during covid). It was stocked with all the basics. There were enough garbage bags and dishwasher detergent to get us started, but we did need to pick up more of those things after a couple of days. There is both a keurig and coffee pot (perhaps helpful to know, so you can bring whichever form of coffee you prefer). The decor was nice, the kitchen and laundry functioned well, and there was plenty of space for us to spread out. We loved sitting out on the balcony. There is the upper level balcony, front porch area, and an outdoor area on the back of the house, so there were plenty of options for that. The beds were comfortable. Would have been nice to have a couple of extra blankets in the house, but not a big deal. We found driving to blue mountain beach to be the best bet for our family as it is over a mile away. The adults enjoyed walking the path along 30A to the bakery and juice bar (a little less than a mile each way). The pool and hot tub are nice, the water was pretty chilly in April, but a nice area to hang out all the same. We only reached out to the management company once with a small issue, and received a very prompt reply. Thanks for the nice stay!- Reviewed On: 4/19/2021
