Forest Lakes neighborhood has an idyllic setting overlooking a peaceful lake with thousands of acres of state forest bordering the community. Completely secluded and quiet, it's hard to believe Highway 30A is just down the road and offering quick access to all the amenities you could desire in this South Santa Rosa Beach location. The recently renovated community pools offer for a relaxing dip after a long day at the beach. Make memories on the fishable lake, that's catch and release, and there's also a lovely covered picnic area with grills, as well as a playground for the kiddos. Blue Mountain Beach is just to the east, and the shops, entertainment and dining venues of Gulf Place Town Center are a short drive to the west. Incredible white sand beaches are a few minutes down the road.

Area Attractions:

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. Biking is a great activity to enjoy as the scenic bike path meanders along 30A. Bike over to Blue Mountain Beach Creamery for some homemade scoops that will have your taste buds coming back! You'll have an array of dining options to choose from!

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!

Incredible home with incredible service. We loved the neighborhood, the home, the nature trails, the pool, the beach access and the local food and shops. Nothing short of a perfect beach trip!
- Posted: 4/5/2025

Peaceful Easy Feeling was just that...Peaceful and Easy! The main level lenai was incredibley comfortable and secluded...Great for an afternoon nap or an evening of drinks and games after dinner. Grill on the property as well as 4 high quality beach chairs and ubrella to easily load on the golf cart and haul to the beach...Golf cart parking is better than handicapped in most places, so that was a plus too! Really wanted to check out the pavillion and the pool, but were too busy exploring and was just too peaceful & easy to cook on site and hang out on the lenai when we did find some downtime. Would definitely stay again and is really a prime location right in the middle of 30A without feeling like you are right in the middle of Spring Break on 30A.

Mack, thank you for your 5-star review! It's great to hear that you found Peaceful Easy Feeling to be just that—peaceful and easy. We look forward to welcoming you back to the prime location on 30A for another memorable stay with RealJoy!

The house and neighborhood was absolutely stunning. The house was large and spread out. 4.5 bathrooms! It was relaxing and luxurious. Very quick ride to the beach via bikes and golf cart. Kitchen was incredible with finest appliances. We were sad to leave. Best accommodations we’ve ever had. Felt very safe as well.

Golf cart came in so handy, short lil drive to the beach! The local grocery store is so over priced we think we would have spent as much just going out for dinners.

The house was beautiful and very spacious for our family of nine. Loved having the bunk area and separate TV area for the kids. The golf cart was a big hit with the kids and useful for getting to and from the beach. The house was well stocked in the kitchen, plenty of towels in the bathrooms and lots of chairs and toys for the beach. Everything was clean when we arrived. We also enjoyed having the lake for the kids to fish.

We absolutely loved our stay here. It was perfect for our family of 6! Everyone had their own space but it still felt cozy.
RealJoy was amazing to communicate with. They sent tons of information multiple times including local attractions, expectations and instructions on how to get in, etc.
The home itself was beautiful and in the most serene neighborhood. All of the locals were extremely friendly and welcoming.
The only complaints we had were :
-The house was a little far from the tourtist-y attractions of 30A. Seaside, Rosemary beach and The Big Chill were all 30+ minutes away.
-The drain in the master shower and bath were incredibly clogged and slow. (Probably from all the sand over all the renters but still annoying.)
-The master bed is extremely firm. Could be some people’s perfect bed but wasn’t very comfortable for us.
Other than those simple things, we loved our stay and thoroughly enjoyed ourselves. We’re excited to possibly stay there again next year!

Birthday Vaca

The location and home were beautiful. We only stayed from friday evening to sunday morning so we weren't able to enjoy everything miramar/Sandestin had to offer but what we did get to see and do was fun and its a gorgeous,peaceful area to vacation. We loved that the downstairs had almost a seperate little house itself, other than a kitchen it had everything. We didnt use the golf cart because we apparently read the ad incorrectly and didnt realize you had to put down another $500 deposit for that so that was a bummer. All in all it was a great trip!
- Posted: 7/2/2024

We loved our trip to 30A and our stay here. It was beautiful and relaxing! The home was spacious and clean. We traveled with our 2 children and they loved the games. The big jenga game was a family favorite. Everything was wonderful from the pool to the beach to restaurants near by. The only thing that was bothersome was a house just across the street has total construction and there was quite a bit of noise from the workers throughout our stay. I realize that is no fault of the owners, just something to note if you plan to stay here this summer. Overall a great time! Will definitely return to 30A!

Jessica, Thank you for the 5-star review. We're delighted to hear that you and your family had a wonderful time and enjoyed the amenities, including the big Jenga game.

House was in a private, peaceful and beautiful neighborhood. My only complaint is we should have been informed about Walton County's new beach policy. (which is stupid...) We came with our small grandkids so it worked out ok, but will definitely should let renters know beforehand.

The house was absolutely beautiful and our stay was lovely. The host was readily available for any and all questions. The neighborhood was gorgeous and it felt so peaceful and serene to be there. The beach access was not far (around a 4 min drive by car). The house was also very baby and toddler friendly and required very little child proofing when we arrived! We would love to stay here again in the future!

Great family Vacation!

Love this neighborhood! House was very nice, clean and had everything we needed, it even had beach chairs. Golf cart was nice to have to drive to the beach and to the local restaurants and coffee house/bakery. Our only 2 complaints is that it seemed a little warm for our taste. Living area and most bedrooms are located on upper floor. Kids bunk room/living space downstairs was cooler, but we did not use that area. We also felt the master bed was way too soft. Felt like it needed to be replaced. It caved in and made noise when getting in or out. Other than those 2 things, it was a beautiful home, great location and we had a wonderful family trip!
- Posted: 8/17/2023

Deede, Thank you for taking the time to review your stay with us. We are thrilled to hear that you loved the neighborhood, and that the house was clean and had everything you needed for a great vacation. We apologize if the unit was a little warm for you. We wish you'd informed us during your stay so we could have brought box fans to make your vacation as comfortable as possible. We did investigate the beds and discovered that the problem was not the mattress but the bed frame. We appreciate you bringing it to our attention as the bed has been fixed so this will no longer be a concern moving forward. We value your feedback and hope to welcome you and your family back for another wonderful family trip. Thank you for choosing RealJoy.

We had an amazing stay at Peaceful Easy Living! The house was beautiful and in a great location. It enabled us to enjoy a relaxing time with family at the pool, short walk to the ocean, and many amazing restaurants close by. It also was perfectly located for a short drive to explore Destin. We loved our stay!!!
