Nestled near beach-newly updated-community pool-near shops, restaurants & cafes.


"BreakAway" from your regular routine and stay at our inviting beach cottage! Make it your home away from home. Relax in the coastal and tropical inspired decor with an overall contemporary feel. The house is just a 5 minute walk or 0.2 of a mile (350 yards) to the nearest beach access, Gulfview Heights. It is also minutes away from the Ed Walline beach access at Gulf Place. Both locations are equipped with restrooms, picnic pavilions, and outdoor wash facilities to remove the saltwater and sand.

**NEW** Kitchen appliances and private back yard patio with main bedroom access.

Bright, shiny and airy....the 2 story cottage has hand scraped wood floors throughout except for tile floors in the bathrooms. The first floor consists of a living room, dining room, kitchen, primary bedroom with en-suite bath, and half bath. The living room includes a queen sleeper sofa with Cozy Mattress, and 60-inch LED TV with DVD player. The TV can be adjusted to be viewed from either the living or dining area. The dining room has seating for 8 while the breakfast bar has 4 additional stools. The kitchen has granite countertops and stainless steel appliances and is well-equipped for your cooking and baking needs.

Located upstairs is another living area, 3 bedrooms and 2 full baths. The additional living area has a queen sofa sleeper with Cozy Mattress, and a TV with DVD player. To add some fun and whimsy there are some themed rooms. There is a queen bedroom reminiscent of the beach. A sea turtle bedroom with 2 twin beds, and a fish decorated bunk room, with a twin over full bed, complete the bedrooms. These rooms are great for kids and those who are kids at heart!

The house is part of a small community called Beach Nest that offers a community pool just steps away from the house. This neighborhood has been called a "Hidden Gem" due to its great location. Come and experience everything 30-A has to offer! Restaurants and shops abound in the area. There is something for everyone. Walking hiking and biking trails (2 short blocks away) are very accessible.

You can explore the quaint town of Seaside where Tim Burton’s "The Truman Show" was filmed. Or, enjoy nature in nearby state parks. Many of the communities plan activities, such as outdoor concerts. There are several scenic and challenging golf courses in the area. And if you cannot find it on 30-A, you are in close proximity to Destin and Panama City Beach.

We, too, are consumers of VRBO and have tried to put ourselves in the position of someone spending time at the house. We have put much thought into making this house a home and hope you will consider our house for your vacation plans. In an effort to pay more attention to details, all bedding has been encased with allergy protection products to make allergy sufferers more comfortable. Perfect for large families, extended family and friends, golf getaways, and gals and guys' trips.

Is pickle ball your game? Please ask about access to courts.

The HOA has surveillance cameras outside for the security and safety of home owners and guests. There is a HOA camera in the front of our house which captures the street and part of our driveway. There is also a camera in the back of the house which covers the area behind the first two houses. The community pool entrance is under surveillance by another HOA camera.

This was a beautiful house in a quiet neighborhood, a small walk to the beach, we rented a golf cart and bikes which made getting around easy. Communication with the owner was excellent. Pool was close and clean. Would recommend to anyone. We really enjoyed our stay.

Another great time at Santa Rosa Beach

We had a great break from work at Santa Rosa Beach with warmer weather than Birmingham! Rose is great as always and easy to get in touch with every time. The house is beautiful and everything is perfect in the house. We rode our bikes, ate at a very near by excellent sea food restaurant, and the beach is beautiful as always. We keep coming back to this place because it is outstanding and plan to come back as soon as possible!

Great Location

We loved how close it was to the beach, about a 5 minute walk. We enjoyed walking to close by coffee shop and restaurants as well (1/2 mile). The kitchen was well equipped for those who enjoy cooking. The layout of the house was perfect for two families, having two living rooms was great for the kids. Very thoughtful laid out and equipped.

Adult getaway

Our stay was amazing, beds were comfortable, house was clean and we loved the location. It was a quiet area with short walking distance to a restaurant, and the beach 🏖️. There is also a place that rents bicycles, and golf carts in walking distance. We actually loved the low key area. Not far to drive to shopping, other restaurants, Walmart etc. We would absolutely stay again.

Had a great time as usual

The place is outstanding as always. When we go to Santa Rosa Beach, we always stay here since the house is terrific, Rose, the owner, is always available, and more importantly, we never have any problems with anything there. It is all super nice appliances, washers and dryers, and there is the beach and an oyster bar within easy walking distance. All 4 of us ride our bikes, and even though it was a bit cold for us, we still managed to get our rides in (middle 50s to high 50s in afternoon). We had a great time and will always come back here again! Thanks Rose!

Perfect house in the perfect place

I would highly recommend staying at Rose’s house in this sweet little cul de sac neighborhood. The set up of this home is perfect for 2 families and was luxurious for our family of 5. This was our second year on this road off of 30A and the location to the beach access could not be more convenient. There is a pool in the cul de sac that we took advantage of everyday and met several sweet families. I anticipate we will be back to this same home next year. Rose’s communication was top notch and the house had pool toys, chairs, every kitchen appliance you can think of and much more. Thank you for helping us have an incredible week!
