About this property
Breakaway~South of 30A~Short walk to the beach, Restaurants and More!
If you’re looking for a way to break free from the routine of everyday life, there’s no better place than the beach. Located just south of 30A in Santa Rosa Beach, the Gulf of Mexico offers a peaceful and relaxing escape for couples or the whole family. This stunning home sleeps 9 and provides spacious accommodations just minutes from the area’s famous white sandy beaches. Breakaway combines the comforts and conveniences of home with the luxury of a 5-star beach vacation, making it the perfect getaway.
This 3-bedroom home has a large open floor plan plus spacious common areas, making it easy for friends and family to gather together without feeling cramped or crowded. The main living room has a large sofa, chairs, and chic beach accents that really bring the whole room together.
A formal dining area, complete with seating for 6, is a great place for a game of cards a family meal. The fully furnished kitchen has modern appliances that make cooking for the whole family a breeze. A large refrigerator, microwave, stove, coffee maker and whisper quiet dishwasher provide the chef of the family with everything they need to create gourmet meals. The counter space doubles as a snack bar, with 4 bar stools, creating a comfortable place to hang out and enjoy a quick bite to eat. You'll love the new counters as you pull up for a snack. The kitchen, dining area, and living room are very open ... allowing everyone in the family to feel connected, even if they are in different rooms.
If you’re traveling with a big group, you’ll appreciate the privacy and quietness that the 3 spacious bedrooms provide. On the 1st floor are 2 of the 3 bedroom's both with private bathrooms. The master suite has a King bed, a high quality mattress, upscale linens and plenty of soft pillows. This beautiful, blue-themed room has its own bathroom, complete with a walk-in shower and tub. The second bedroom has a Queen bed. Upstairs in the third bedroom there's a twin-over-full bunk bed plus a daybed with a twin trundle. And for even more sleeping options, the sofa in the living room easily pulls out to a Queen bed.
These arrangements make it easy for 2 families traveling together to have the space and privacy that they need. It is also set up perfectly for families with multiple kids, or families bringing a few kids and the grandparents along too! The 3 large bathrooms make it easy for big groups to shower and get ready for a busy day, without waiting in line or worrying about using all of the hot water.
When everyone is well rested, you’ll want to explore the many sights and sounds of the city, most of which are just a quick stroll from your front door. When you’re ready for a beach day, take advantage of the close beach access and head right for the waves. Rent a golf cart (there’s specific parking for golf carts) or rent a bike and have it delivered for free right to your front door! The community pool is a fun place to cool off and meet new friends, and it is just a short walk from your front door. If you’re looking for some retail therapy, there are countless sidewalk boutiques, large shopping outlets, grocery stores, and open-air markets just minutes from the home. Antique shops, ice cream parlors, and other fun activities will keep everyone in the family busy and entertained.
Your stay at Breakaway comes with Xplorie’s best activities! Tee off at Emerald Bay or Regatta Bay, zip through Baytowne Adventure Zone, and sail on the Sea Blaster Dolphin Cruise. Enjoy Big Kahuna’s Water Park, Black Light Mini Golf, and scenic bike rides with complimentary rentals. Explore 30A with ease and adventure!

Had previous bad experiences with absolutely gross rentals. This was an amazing change. The home was truly clean and well ordered and maintained. Even the upholstery and area rugs were stain free. We had zero complaints and are very thankful.

This was our second time staying in this neighborhood and we love it. It is close to shops, restaurants and, most importantly, the beach. The house is definitely in need of some updating, especially the carpet on the stairs. However, it was clean and met our needs. Thanks for allowing us to stay!

Blue Mountain beach is one of our favorite areas! This house is great and located so close to the beach. The rooms and beds are good. The kitchen needs a few more things to cook with, but overall I found things to use. I would definitely stay at this home again!

The house is very cute outside, but in need of much updating. Bathrooms are old and poorly lit. Master shower was tiny. Upon arrival, the kitchen floor was dirty with hair and crumbs and ants on the countertops. Someone did come in to treat ants and we saw fewer after. The TV in family room didn't work all weekend and wi-fi isn't reliable. The walk to beach isn't bad and the neighborhood is cute, however we wouldn't rent there again.

We had a great vacation. The house is just a few minutes from the beach with easy access to beach. We had no problem walking with a 2 year old. House close to restaurants. The house accommodated 5 adults and a child just fine. I would rent again just for the accessibility to beach.

Reviewer Comments:
Breakaway is located in a small community of vacation rentals just steps away from the beach (no golf cart needed). The home has several balconies for you to enjoy a cup of coffee in the morning or glass of wine in the evening. Inside there are two bedrooms, two bathrooms & laundry on the first floor. The living room, kitchen and third bedroom and bathroom are on the second floor. The kitchen has all basic appliances, dishes & utensils. Overall, we really enjoyed the house and it's location. The only reason we probably would not return is because the house was infested with roaches. They were literally everywhere. The house also was not clean when we arrived. The staff was responsive when we contacted them, but they blew off our concerns regarding the roaches.

Perfect for beach proximity and seafood market within walking distance. Early morning risers would enjoy this rental most due to lots of sunlight and second floor footsteps were often overheard. The game cabinet, on-site laundry and huge pantry were fabulous. Community pool was never crowded. Perfect rental for those who like to eat at home and want quiet, beautiful beach access.
We loved this rental. It was truly such a short walk to the beach access. The home was clean, well laid out and worked perfectly for our little family of 4. We cooked in and grilled the majority of the trip and the kitchen was well stocked for this. Management was quick to respond to our minor inquiries. All around incredible experience. We will be back!
The home has a great location. We booked this particular house because of the description of the beds. I wouldn’t call the beds “premium”. I was expecting a sleep number bed or the equivalent. I was sorely disappointed. I would stay in an updated house the same neighborhood next time.

Liked: Check-in, location, listing accuracy
Location only
This property is in a good location but could use a little attention. A new TV upstairs would be a small but worthy investment along with a mess wifi system. Otherwise the wifi barely works downstairs. We had to call maintenace to fix the dryer (this is the first time I haven’t left a vacation with clean laundry) and to help with the upstairs cable. Simple instruction and which remote to use would go along way. Investing in a new tv for a couple of hundred bucks would also help. Maintenace was very professional and came right away. I would have preferred not to have met them. We came for a long weekend.

After Schools decided to change the start date last minute, we jumped on the only chance for a vaca this year. First off, the area was great as we didn't have to wear a mask 24x7!! The house could stand to be updated or at least freshened up a bit but we didn't mind. All of the appliances worked and the one call we made about the AC was addressed same day within hours. The instructions for entry, check in/check out were clear. The walk to the beach is very short and traveling to amenities is very very convenient.

The house was neat, clean, fully equipped and in walking distance to the beach! There were plenty of beds for our group of 7-9 people and they were very comfortable. The maintenance was great. We had trouble getting a remote to work (our fault) and needed help with A/C. Jack was there in less than 30 minutes both times and was very helpful and friendly! Though I hate to give any negative info I do want to share this for another large group that might be like mine. There really was not a place for everyone to sit together other than at the dining table and couch.

We recently stayed at Breakaway and had a wonderful time. Upon our arrival, the code to unlock the door would not work but Benchmark quickly fixed the problem. My only complaints were the lack of essentials in the house. There was one washcloth and no dustpan. The broom was miniature sized such that even at only 5'4, I could barely use it. I would still recommend the house and would return, but some slight improvements, considering it sleeps 11, would really make this property even more enjoyable.

We really enjoyed our stay. It was big enough for our family without feeling crowded. The only downside is that the walls are super thin, you can hear everything, specially downstairs you can hear people upstairs walking around. as far as cleanliness , it was ok. We saw spiderwebs in the closets and table light fixture. Otherwise I think it was pretty clean. Another thing I didn’t like is that the top bunk bed covers should be change they look old and tearing from the bottom side. Also the bunk bed is super raggedy, every time you move it makes noises and the top bunk side bar is really lose. Besides those small details, we enjoyed our stayed and would consider staying again in breakaway.
