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. Located just 783 feet out from the Grayton Beach State Park access, it is becoming a haven for sea life. Each of the 4 snorkeling reefs comprises 40 acres of permitted sea bottom. 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!

Our stay was once again perfect at this beautiful home. We have been very fortunate to stay in this home two years in a row. Hopefully, we’ll get to stay there again. The home is also in a wonderful neighborhood.

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.

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!

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.

This place was exactly as advertised. The home was clean and very spacious. We contacted the host once about the garbage disposal and they were very prompt with their response. The pool was absolutely awesome! The fact that it was heated was a bonus. We met several other families that were visiting and everyone was nice and very friendly. We didn’t have any trouble navigating the area. It would have been nice to have access to the golf cart but we managed without it. Overall, we had a great time and are already planning a return trip!
