'Plum Nearly' has recently completed major remodeling with new carpet and tile throughout the 2300+ sq ft house, granite countertops in the kitchen, new stainless appliances and tasteful decorative accents by interior designer Kathryn Kane formerly of DWR East Hampton NY including beaded board wainscoting & crown molding to give it that 'antique beach cottage' look. Ground floor has 2 adult suites each with queen bed and adjoining bath, plus a small fridge, coffee maker & microwave. Upstairs is a spacious family room where you will find new furnishings, 1 sofa, 2 love seats, a 40' LCD/HD TV + DVD and a hi-speed cable modem internet with wireless router for wifi service throughout the house. The dining table, bistro table and breakfast bar provide lots of seating for your family meals. The kitchen comes fully equipped with practically every conceivable cooking utensil. Newly added in 2013, wood plantation shutters inside & aluminum bahama shutters outside + a totally remodeled master bathroom.
The large wrap around porch off the family room provides a perfect location for keeping an eye on the kids in the private pool (newly re-surfaced) while relaxing in the gulf breezes or cooking on the propane BBQ grill and viewing the beach from the new deck extension. Master suite on 2nd floor includes a king size pillow top bed plus adjoining bath that was remodeled in Jan 2013, new 32' Sony Bravia LCD/HD TV + DVD player, love seat and private balcony. Top floor tower room is an ideal kids retreat with 1 twin x full bunk bed and another twin x full futon bunk bed, a private balcony, desk and a TV/DVD/VCR + Playstation 3 with games. There are TV's and video players in each bedroom, a large variety of beach and pool toys, board games, paperbacks and an extensive collection of movies.
Only 60 steps down the cul-de-sac to the sandy beach and no streets for the kiddo's to cross in this gated, gulf front community. Shops and restaurants are within 100 yards at Gulf Place + Grayton Beach, Seaside and Watercolor are just a few miles away. You can even find wild blackberries on our lot in the springtime! Ample parking for 4-5 cars. Pool can be heated for an extra charge. Equipped with a new electronic door lock system - so you won't need to get keys @ a rental office before checking in!

Our family get-together at the Plum Nearly house was just perfect. Everyone was comfortable (beds, space, A/C level, accessibility) and the kitchen was very well stocked with ample dishes and cook/bakeware so we could hole-up for the weekend and feel like we had to leave the place for a meal! The beach had the private feel but the public area was just yards away so you really had the best of both worlds. The beach was kept clean and you could find a lifeguard in sight nearly all hours. Gulf Place shopping was in walking distance which made impromptu ice cream trips and Saturday night live band Reggae a given bonus. Can't wait to come again!Recommended for: Sightseeing, people with disabilities, tourists without a car, age 55+, romantic getaway, families with young children, girls getaway.

My family and I just returned and really enjoyed staying here. The owner was super nice to work with and the house was better than we could have expected. It was nicely decorated and very clean. Our faimly of 12 all were very comfortable and because of how the rooms are spread out we all had our own space. The beach was very close and the community was very safe. Santa Rosa was the prefect spot for us. We really enjoyed our time in Santa Rosa Beach! Thanks for the memories!Recommended for: Sightseeing, age 55+, families with teenagers, families with young children.
Owner response: My wife and I are so pleased that our guests had a great vacation. We are continually upgrading & remodeling our place to make it more enjoyable for both our guests and ourselves. We have never "bothered" our guests to submit reviews so when we do get them it's especially appreciated. Needless to say they are welcome back anytime.

Just returned from a week at Plum Nearly with my family and would highly recommend this property. Description of house is accurate and well stocked kitchen. Close to beach and pool is nice. Plenty of pool and beach toys for my grand kids. Nice gated community so kids could ride bikes unsupervised and Santa Rosa Beach is absolutely beautiful. Hope to be able to return next year.Recommended for: Age 55+, families with young children.

First, this is a GREAT location. I loved the gated community, the colorful houses and the proximity to the beautiful beach. It really is steps away just down the street. You are far enough away from Destin that you don't have to deal with all the traffic, yet close enough that it only takes minuts to get to any shopping. Having the pool was also a huge plus on days we wanted to take a short dip without having the hastle of carrying gear to the beach and having to clean sand off of everything or in the evening just to cool off and relax together. The property is nice and seems to be well maintained. We were able to easily park 3 vehicles in front. I notice the liisting has been changed to "sleeps 10" rather than 12, as it was listed when I made my reservation over a year ago for our 11 person family gathering. Ten is probably a more realistic capacity. One person in our family did use the sleeper-sofa in the living room, But with the kitchen/dining/living area as one large space, we always felt bad making too much noise in the mornings or evenings if that person was wanting to be sleeping. The deck off the back was nice for just hanging out with your morning cup of coffee or wathcing the sunset in the evenings. The grill could use some TLC. It's pretty rusty inside so most of the flame stays in the back where the baffles had rusted out. But we still managed to grill a few nights. This was my first time doing somehting like this. The owner was most helpful in answering my questions. Also, he sent about 4 or 5 pages of all kinds of instructions and information from emergency numbers to local points of interest. And after the conclusion of our stay, my deposit was refunded even more quickly than I expected. This was just what we were looking for, a nice, family oriented house that felt like our home away from home for the week. My parents got to relive some of their memories of beach vacations our family had taken from when I was a kid. My sister and her family took a deep sea fishing trip out of Destin. My family spent a day of snorkling and shell collecting on Shell Island near Panama City Beach. I would most certainly recommend this wonderful beach retreat.Recommended for: Age 55+, families with teenagers, romantic getaway, families with young children.

Sunrise Beach and Plum Nearly always a dream for us

Have been to Beaches of South Walton / Santa Rosa / 30A area at least 10x in the last 15 years. My wife and I love this home and its access to the beach, the shops and the bike path that stretches from Santa Rosa to Rosemary Beach (15 miles+ each way). The water is beautiful, the pool is a nice option if you get tired of the beach and Bloom's across the street is quite a dining adventure. Whether a small group or larger group, Plum Nearly works as the perfect home away from home with all the amenities you would need (wifi, DVD, kitchen, bbq, etc). The owners are very attentive and the home is just perfect for our needs. Our dogs love the pool area and have a blast on the beach, just make sure to get a pet tag if you walk your dogs on the beach.Recommended for: Sightseeing, adventure seekers, age 55+, families with teenagers, pet owners, romantic getaway, families with young children, girls getaway.

Owner info
Year Purchased: 2008
About the owner: We live in the Houston Texas area, have 3 grown children + 1 special needs grandson and for us we've always had to have at least 1 beach vacation every year. We love our home & the area & go there for a visit every 2-3 months. We are always adding to & upgrading things and absolutely love it when we hear from our guests that they had a wonderful time. We love redecorating our beach house and just added a bunch of beaded board & crown molding. We especially enjoy doing BBQ on the deck and looking at the beach views and sunsets.
Why the Owner Chose Sunrise Beach:
We have been going to the South Walton beach area for a long time and had always wanted to own a beach house. The ambiance and culture here are a perfect match for what my family wanted - beautiful beaches, friendly people, good for walking or biking to places. County highway 30A goes right by Sunrise Beach and was awarded a 'scenic highway' designation by the state of Florida in 2008. Gulf Place is less than 100 yards from our lot & the new Panama City Beach airport is only 35 minutes away.
The Unique Benefits at this House:
Convenient to walk to Gulf Place, the beach in Sunrise Beach is private not public, several great restaurants near by (several flyers in the house from previous guests to give you ideas on where to dine or where to rent a bike or kayak for instance), playing or relaxing on the beach, visiting Seaside, shopping @ the outlets in Destin & Panama City Beach, crabbing at our beach in the evening, surf fishing, family get togethers, just plain relaxing, golfing nearby and enjoying the beach ambiance.
