Gulf-Front Corner Unit in Seagrove Facing Sunset!
Great location! Beautiful condo, very clean and had everything we needed! Roberts communication was great as well. Would recommend staying here!

113 | Gulf Front Blue Mountain Beach Luxe Condo!
This is THE spot hands down. Beautiful condo, location, & VIEW! Directly on water. Wonderful vacation. Brought my 5 year old and 6 month old. We will be back! This is the best condo on 30A IMO. Thank you for a great stay!

Flip Flops in Paradise
We had a great girls getaway! The house was exactly as described and in the perfect location. Would definitely stay here again. Jackie and Rob were very responsive to questions and were very accommodating! Loved our stay!

New Beach House | Walk2Beach | Pool | Shop | Eats
The house was clean, comfortable, well appointed, and pretty. Stacy was pleasant and quick to respond. Honestly there were no issues. We especially enjoyed the next door pool access as our 3 year old granddaughter preferred it over the ocean. I especially liked the quiet! Hopefully someday soon we will return to this amazing home.

30A's Camp Coastal - 1/2 mile from the Beach!
Camp Coastal was the ideal retreat for my wife and me during our long weekend getaway. Nestled in the heart of 30A, it offers unbeatable access to the beach, charming local restaurants, and coffee shops. The property provides both comfort and convenience, making it a fantastic choice for anyone visiting the area. We highly recommend it and can't wait to return!

30A - Walk to Beach - Pool - Golf Cart - Bikes
We had a really nice week here. Perfect for families! Overall, really great stay. We did have a couple of issues. The electricity in the front bedroom (light/fan) did not work and this was not communicated before we arrived. The host did get an electrician out there to fix it, but he couldn’t come until our last night, so that room was a little uncomfortable with a loud box fan and only lamps. But, we made it work! Also, the blender provided did not work and we only found out after pouring all the ingredients in. There were a ton of sugar ants in the kitchen and we cleaned countertops and everything up every night. But could not beat the location and other amenities (pool especially) at the house. Everything you need for the beach is there and the host was always very responsive to our messages. We would recommend this stay to others. Thank you for a great week!

Ocean Front - Beautifully Renovated - Pool!
This was the perfect place for our family! Super clean and nicely renovated, easy beach access, beautiful view, lots of little touches that made it the perfect stay! We will be back!

Blue Haven 30A - Gulf View | Private Beach Access
My husband and I thoroughly enjoyed our four nights stay at this beautiful condo on the beach. It was so great to walk out the back of the home directly onto the beach. The house was clean, well decorated and just the right size for the two of us. Jeff was a perfect host. If I had a question, he responded with in less than a minute!

NEW 3B/2.5Ba Heated Saltwater Pool near 30A!
Nothing but great things to say about Tara’s place! She demonstrated excellent customer service. The house itself was SO lovely! You can tell the hosts are serious about what they do. Felt like a high-end luxurious hotel. Impeccably clean, from dish-ware to linens to bathrooms. Lots of supplies available! Tons of towels, toilet paper, toothbrushes, and even spices for simple cooking. This was my first time at an Airbnb where I actually felt at home. When you’re here, you only need to worry about vacationing. The hosts thought more about our needs than I probably did. Outside looked just like the photos: aesthetically pleasing and private! It is pretty clear that the neighborhood is going through heavy gentrification. Despite that, this location worked for us, as it was pretty central and easy to access from the highway. The beach was a quick-ish drive away, but we struggled to find parking for the public access points. Overall, we had a great stay! 5 stars without a doubt.

Beachfront Golf Cart Bikes Beach Views “Toro Azul”
Beautiful house and amazing location. Loved being able to walk right to the beach and was easy with small children. The house is beautiful and it was very clean and comfortable. So close to Seaside and excellent restaurants nearby. Would love to stay here again!

Seam is 30A
By far, this is my favorite place to stay on 30a. This is our second trip back to this condo and our fifth trip back to the Inlet Beach area!! The access to the water is perfect! The private beach access is the best. I have nothing but positive things to say and we will be back!

Historic Smith House, authentic cottage
I have used Airbnb many times and this particular Airbnb is the absolute best I have ever had the pleasure of renting. There are not enough superlatives to fully describe the wonderful features of this rental property. I highly recommend Kelly and her beach home! It truly exceeds all expectations and Kelly is an amazing host.

Casa del Mar! New 30A Home w/ Private Heated Pool
One of the most amazing places we’ve stayed at on the coast! Ivonne was an extremely great host & the stay itself is top tier. The private pool makes the place even better along with a short ride to the beach on the golf cart. Everything went perfect! A must stay at!

Gulf-Front Townhouse on Private Beach!
What a dream this place is! Super clean, right on the gulf, peaceful, very comfortable. Loved the area, great bakery nearby and a couple other restaurants. We enjoyed all that 30A has to offer! Great hosts! Thank you!

Cozy Gulf-Front Studio at Majestic w/chair service
We enjoyed our stay. We loved the view from our balcony. The beach chairs waiting for us each day was a great bonus.

Private Cottage for 2*Steps to Beach*Hot Tub*Bikes
If you’re considering this place, just go ahead and book it already. My wife and I stayed here for our honeymoon and it was incredible. The hosts are extremely friendly and responsive, the location is great, extremely private but still in the middle of the action. Everything is exactly as it looks in the photos, and it’s complete with all the amenities you need to have an incredible stay. Even the boardwalk to the beach is actually 260 steps away from the front lawn like the sign say. Yes, I counted. We will definitely be back. Thank you Dana and Mario for making our trip extraordinary.
Your guide to Santa Rosa Beach
Introduction
Santa Rosa Beach is the largest of the 16 small communities that make up South Walton County along Florida’s Emerald Coast. The area is known for its stunning aquamarine waters and powdery, bright-white sand that, from afar, almost looks like snow. Spend your days relaxing on the beach and hiking the trails in nearby state parks such as Deer Lake, Grayton Beach, and Topsail Hill Preserve. You may have to dodge a summer storm, but Santa Rosa Beach has plenty of art galleries, boutiques, and theaters where you can pass the time. North of town, Choctawhatchee Bay is great for kayaking and fishing, and you can easily find a seafood restaurant to cook your catch while you sit back and enjoy the sunset with a cold, locally made craft beer.
The best time to stay in a vacation rental in Santa Rosa Beach
Summer in the Florida Panhandle is famously hot and humid; in fact, the air conditioner was invented in Apalachicola, Fl, just 100 miles from Santa Rosa Beach. Memorial Day marks the start of the busy season, when the weather gets humid, temperatures climb into the high 80s and low 90s Fahrenheit, and families arrive at their beach vacation rentals. June ushers in hurricane season, which peaks in late summer and brings afternoon thunderstorms. Visitor numbers also spike over spring break in March, when the weather is warm and sunny and the coastal wildflowers bloom. But Santa Rosa Beach aficionados know that fall is the best time of the year here, thanks to temperatures around 70 degrees, low humidity, and waters still warm from the summer heat. Winters can get chilly and windy, but temperatures generally hover in the mid-50s, and the beaches are blissfully deserted.
Top things to do in Santa Rosa Beach
Point Washington State Forest
This 15,407-acre preserve contains cypress swamps, pine flatwoods, coastal scrub, and sandhills, as well as more than 27 miles of trails to hike and bike, including a popular 10-mile loop. You might even be lucky enough to spot gopher tortoises, flatwoods salamanders, and American kestrels.
Eden Gardens State Park
Eden Gardens State Park sprawls across 163 acres and includes flower gardens, woodlands, and a reflecting pool. The park’s crown jewel is the renovated Wesley House mansion, which was built in 1897 and is now open for tours. Visit in mid-March when the camellias and azaleas are in full bloom.
Drive Highway 30A
Stretching for 28.5 miles along the Gulf of Mexico, scenic Highway 30A is lined with sugar-sand beaches, dune lakes, pine forests, saw palmettos, and pastel-colored cottages clustered into quaint villages, including upscale and artsy Gulf Place, mellow Blue Mountain Beach, the WaterColor vacation home community, and the design-forward planned communities of Rosemary Beach and Alys Beach.
