KICKIN' BACK ("KB") is a beautiful, like-new (2007) luxurious Gulf-View hideaway in a quiet thirteen (13) unit boutique condominium property known as the Abacos at Santa Rosa Beach. KB is professionally decorated and has expansive balconies overlooking both the pool and the stunning Gulf of Mexico and its powder white sand beaches.
KB is an easy 100 yard stroll to the beach. Even closer to the west are the trendy restaurants, coffee houses, ice cream parlor, shopping, boutiques & galleries of Gulf Place, making it a convenient destination to satisfy your daily needs and desires.
KB is a two story condominium with an interior stairwell and outside entrance doors and balconies on both floors. The lower level contains three (3) smartly furnished bedrooms (King, Queen and twins) and two bathrooms (master and hall). The upper level features stone tile floors, a spacious living area with a Queen Sofa Sleeper, a guest bathroom, separate dining room with seating for eight, a magnificent kitchen with granite counters, a breakfast bar and stainless steel appliances. If you're looking for aqua or seafoam or mauve beachy style furnishings, KB will disappoint you. We furnished KB to be an elegant but comfortable retreat from home.
KB has beautiful granite counter tops in the kitchen and bathrooms. Cable TV/DVD is provided in every bedroom and the living room. FREE WIRELESS HIGH SPEED INTERNET service is also provided. There is parking for two cars with overflow parking available. Saturday to Saturday rental accomodations are preferable, but not required.
As mentioned above, we are offering a special reduced rate for the fall season 2009 of $825 per week! This is an incredible deal at less than $118 per night for a new 3 BR/3 BA vacation condo! There are no housekeeping fees or linen charges to you either- just add 11.5% sales tax to the state of Florida, which we must collect and remit, and a $25 registration fee. That's it!
My wife and I are proud of our beach getaway. KB is new, luxurious and comfortable and so convenient to the beach, shopping, golf, fishing and all the other things that you escape to the beach to enjoy. We will be happy to have you as our guest.
As far as shopping goes, KB is only 5 miles west of the quaint shops at Seaside and Watercolor. It is less than 7 miles east of Sandestin, the Silver Sands outlet mall and the new world class Grand Harbor shopping district. Pier Park shopping mall is 20 miles to the east. Destin Commons upscale shopping is 15 miles to the west. Needless to say, there are hundreds of other shopping opportunities-from funky artist shops to the finest clothing and home furnishings stores. You will have a tough time covering all the bases, but have fun trying.
Feel free to call me directly (Larry Houff ) with any questions you may have (including rate charges) or send me an email by responding to this VRBO web site. Thanks.

Why the Owner Chose Abacos at Santa Rosa
Santa Rosa Beach is very conveniently located between Destin (to the west) and the Watercolor/Seaside area (to the east). We offer the ability to stay in a quieter and much less crowded town on one of the most spectacular beaches in the world and still be within 10 minutes from all the shops and other attractions offered in Destin and Watercolor/Seaside. This is why people from all over the Southeast and west as far as Texas come to Santa Rosa Beach- to relax, have fun, rejunate, play like a kid again, shop in world class stores and eat like kings and queens in some of the best restaurants in Florida.
The Unique Benefits at this Condominium
Our condo, Kickin' Back, is a short 100 yard stroll to one of the most fabulous and beautiful beaches in the world. We are also within a short walk to the trendy shops and restaurants located at Gulf Place in Santa Rosa Beach. Kickin' Back is fully equipped to make your vacation a wonderful carefree time at the beach. It is professionally decorated and has a gourmet kitchen to boot. Granite countertops, stainless appliances, a wonderful view of the Gulf and the pool- all of these are yours when you stay at Kickin' Back!
Owner's Map of Abacos at Santa Rosa
My wife and I purchased our beautiful beach getaway at the Abacos at Santa Rosa Beach because we wanted a great place to kick back and relax in the wonderful Scenic 30-A area in South Walton County, Florida. I am a full-time CPA and my wife manages a business specializing in providing 1031 tax deferred exchange services. We live in Tallahassee Florida, approximately 135 miles east of Santa Rosa Beach. We love our beach condo and aptly named it "Kickin' Back". We invite you to kick back and stay at our condo as our guests.

The Harris family stayed at Kickin' Back for four nights and made this entry in the KB guestbook about their stay: Great family trip- thanks to Kickin' Back! Good location- loved the view! We were pleasantly surprised with the stylish decor which looks even better in person. The elevator was a welcome must! Would love to return again! Thanks, Larry. The Harris Family (Ben and Judy)

Two couples met at Kickin' Back for the Seabreeze Jazz Festival held at Gulf Place. Here are their KB guestbook comments: We enjoyed our stay at your lovely townhouse. The location is ideal- close to the beach and close to the jazz venue at Gulf Place. We love the high ceilings, tall doors, multiple balconies...simply beautiful! Thank you!
