About this property

30A Retreat • Near Gulf Place + Resort-Style Communal Pool Access | Wind & Sea

  • Welcome to Wind & Sea, a bright and breezy retreat tucked into one of Santa Rosa Beach’s most inviting 30A communities. Here, scenic paths, coastal cottages, and a relaxed neighborhood energy set the tone for effortless beach living. You’re close to Gulf Place, local cafés, boutique shops, and the sugar-sand shoreline that draws travelers from around the world—making this home an ideal base for families and groups eager to enjoy everything 30A has to offer.

    Inside, Wind & Sea opens into a sun-filled, open-concept living area where soft coastal tones, warm textures, and thoughtful décor create a calm, welcoming atmosphere. The living room centers around a comfortable sofa, lounge seating, and a large TV—perfect for slow mornings or cozy evenings after exploring the coast. The dining table seats six, while the spacious kitchen features stainless steel appliances, a large island with seating for four, and plenty of room to cook and gather as a group.

    Wind & Sea comfortably sleeps up to 11 guests across three stylish bedrooms and a sleeper sofa in the living room. The primary suite offers a king bed and ensuite bathroom, blending natural light with serene finishes to create a relaxing retreat. A second king bedroom provides equal comfort for additional adults or couples. The third bedroom is set up with groups in mind, featuring two double beds and a twin trundle, ideal for kids, teens, or mixed parties of travelers. A shared full bathroom and two half baths ensure everyone has space to get ready.

    Laundry needs are covered with an in-home washer and dryer, making long stays and beach days easier.

    Step outside to enjoy peaceful mornings on the porch, casual grilling sessions on the BBQ, and convenient clean-ups after shore time thanks to the outdoor shower. Just a 5-minute walk brings you to the resort-style community pool, complete with an outdoor kitchen, TV, waterfalls, seasonally heated sections in November, December, March, and April.

    AvantStay provides an upscale experience with services that elevate your stay and save time so you can enjoy every moment. Guests have access to a 24/7 support team and a tech-enabled concierge to book services, such as fridge stocking, mid-stay cleanings, and private chefs. For anything you need (or never knew you needed), we’re at your service!

    30A is a 20-mile stretch of beaches and coastal towns along Florida’s famous Emerald Coast. From Seaside down past Laguna, you’ll find white sands, azure waters, and laid-back vibes. Each town has its own character, so we encourage you to explore them all—from the quiet charm of Blue Mountain Beach to the iconic town center energy of Seaside.

    Local Attractions: The Big Chill 30A, Gulf Place Plaza, Camp Helen State Park, Henderson Beach State Park, Village of Baytowne Wharf, Grayton Beach State Park, Alys Beach, Seaside Beach, Watercolor Beach.

8/10 Good

Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy
Overall the house was great and we were pleased with the rental. The neighborhood was very nice, quiet, and well kept. The community pool was older but in good shape and the kids loved it with the lookout tower. The location was close to beach but we definitely were glad we had a low speed vehicle (golf cart) to drive around. Some things that could be improved.. It’s obvious the house definitely gets a lot of use. It could use a few updates… new paint, new toaster, updated coffee with nespresso machine or similar. Carpets could use a really good cleaning. I was a bit disappointed that there were no bikes with the rental. It specifically listed bikes in the description so when there weren’t any that was a bit unfortunate. Overall we were pleased and would definitely stay at an AvantStay property in the future!

We loved our stay! The house is located just down the hill from the pool so it’s close enough to walk. We love that the pool is heated during March! The neighborhood is quiet and safe and just a short walk to town or the beach. We appreciated having beach towels and pool noodles at the house. We were glad to have the washer/dryer too. The house was clean although we would recommend the cleaning team double check the water dispenser on the refrigerator as part of their cleaning routine. We would recommend some new/additional pans, silverware, and cooking utensils. We appreciated having starter toiletries, toilet paper and paper towels. It was chilly part of the time we visited so we used the heat. On the first floor all or most of the heat seemed to come through the vent in the master bedroom rather than the main living space so that may be something to look into. Also, the window in the bunk room did not seem to open. Without any ceiling fan or ability to open the window, it can get warm in that room. Overall, we would recommend this property & would would be happy staying here again!
