Everything was clean, well appointed, very comfortable, and everything as it should be. Great visit. Great neighborhood. Use caution if you can't navigate steps. The beach is nearby, but a lot of steps to get down to it. We found that we really appreciated the Inlet Beach Public Access for the ease of walking-in, public restrooms, and quite a bit of parking before 11:00am. Short drive. Would definitely rent this home again.

Thank you so much for staying with us and for sharing such thoughtful feedback. We are delighted to hear Sans Souci felt clean, comfortable, and well appointed for your extended stay, and that you enjoyed the neighborhood. The steps to the shoreline can definitely be a consideration along 30A, so we appreciate you mentioning the Inlet Beach Regional Access option — it is a great tip for an easier walk‑in accessible experience. We are so glad the home worked well for your visit and would love to welcome you back anytime.

Sans Souci

The house itself was as good as advertised, and we loved it. The check-in process could have been better, as our access code wasn't provided on time, and the pool and beach access codes provided were incorrect. Aside from working with the property management company, we loved our stay.

Great Getaway

We had an amazing stay here! The house is in a great location, it was clean, close to the pool, and beach! Our only critique is the WIFI is in and out so we had difficulties streaming movies. Also note the beach access across the street leads you to a private beach, so you must walk a bit down to the public beaches when entering through that gate. Other than that we thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Sans Souci! Thank you 30A Escapes!

Allie - Thank you for sharing your wonderful experience at Sans Souci! We're thrilled to hear that you had an amazing stay and enjoyed the great location, cleanliness, and proximity to the pool and beach. It's always our goal to provide a memorable vacation for our guests, and we're glad to know that we succeeded in your case. We are happy to report that the owner replaced the modem, added eero’s to eliminate dead spots in the home, and worked with the Internet Service/CableTV Provider to address other issues that were causing intermittent issues with the service. WiFi is much better now, and has been upgraded to the highest bandwidth offered to ensure smooth streaming. Thank you also for mentioning the beach access. We understand that it's helpful for guests to have accurate information about the access points. We will make sure to provide clearer directions regarding the public beach entrances to avoid any confusion. It was a pleasure having you as our guest, and we're grateful for your kind words about our team at 30A Escapes. We strive to deliver excellent service and are glad to hear that we met your expectations. Should your future travels bring you back to the area, we would be honored to host you again at Sans Souci or any of our other beautiful properties.

Christmas 2020

House has a good layout, was clean and nicely decorated. Beds were very comfortable and bathrooms nicely stocked. Living space was also nice. Kitchen is stocked (no spices) but knives need to be either replaced or sharpened. Upon Arrival quickly noticed that 3 of the kitchen lights (above stove and sink) were not working. Reported same day to property manager and after 3 days of waiting fixed on our own (burned out bulbs replaced from hardware store). Lights under the cabinet are still not working. Major disappointment was the advertised pool was closed/under major long term construction but we were never notified. This was a major factor in the decision to rent this location. Once again no response from the property manager when asked for details. Overall the house itself is nice and structurally sound, however the experience is hampered by false advertising (pool availability) and poor property management.

Memorable Family Vacation!

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. The perfect size home for 4 and our pup. Clean (and trust me I am a stickler about cleanliness), plenty of room to spread out and comfortable beds. Having never been to 30A, the home was a great first impression to all the area has to offer. It was the perfect quiet community about 2 miles from Rosemary and just over a mile to Alys. The other direction takes you to the Big Chill (about 1.3 miles) and more great eateries. Some of our favorites were Ambrosia (more of a fine dining experience), Mimmo's, Cafe 30A, Cowgirl Kitchen, George's and Tommy Bahama's (in Sandestin). We had two small hiccups: 1) The VRBO listing noted beach items that the property manager's listing did not -- one of which was beach chairs. The true beach chair that was on property was broken and I reached out via phone to request a new one along with another (vs. the straight up and down/tall chair that was there). The person I spoke with was a bit combative noting beach chairs were not included. I text the listing on VRBO that noted they were to the property manager and they were quick to get someone over to replace the broken chair and include another one, which we appreciated. 2) Internet/TV Service. I’ve seen numerous prior reviews noting the same and it was mostly non-existent for us. We restarted the box and it helped toward the end of our stay. Cable would be better than Roku TV’s in our opinion for renters, easier for all. We'd come back in a heartbeat!

DIY Vacation

Sans Souci was a lovely home, but staying there as guests was more than a little disappointing. The front porch had not been swept, and the furniture, looking worn with tables in need of repair/replacement, had not been cleaned off. We got inside and started turning on lights, and discovered that all undercounter lights above the stove were not working. Light above shower in hallway was burned out, as was one of the lights on stairway leading upstairs. We called and someone came out right away - he said that the kitchen bulbs were not burned out. The power had been cut from the power source, so there was nothing he could do. As a result, it was very dark cooking as the overhead lighting was insufficient to allow you to see food on the cooktop well. We walked upstairs to the master bedroom, and found that our view out of the French doors led to a set of doors lying on the patio floor. Upon entering the master bath, we saw that the French doors that had replaced the one out on the patio floor had not even been installed completely. The mfr. decals and instructions were still glued onto the doors, and the trim around them had not even been painted. Once again, we called, and the response was quick.Men came out and secured the discarded door to the railing of the patio. We decided to ride the provided bicycles, only to discover that all 3 had tires that were almost flat. Once again, we called and the response was quick - someone came out and got the tires inflated. The next day, we took trash to the 2 large trash cans outside, only to discover that they were completely full and smelly. We had to take both to the curb on trash day - it was obvious that they had not been emptied in weeks. The house was very well appointed and we enjoyed the location. However, for the price we paid, we should not have had to experience any of the above mentioned issues. The whole idea of vacation is to relax and not have to do a thing. I hope that the owner and mgmt. company will remedy these types of issues for other guests. (Photos of issues available upon request.)

Very comfortable home that allows a dog. Thank you!

Nice rental property that needs to have the decking off the master bedroom resurfaced as it is flaking and then gets tracked into the bedroom-rendering the deck unusable.

Great home! Clean, had everything you could need. Very close to beach access. Only issue was that you aren’t allowed to set up on the beach near access point. You have to go to the public access and set up there. Felt misleading with having had a code for private access.

Great stay

The management company was wonderful. I feel the house could have a little bit cleaner as far as floors and couches. However, we booked very last minute and I know it is peak busy season. Also, the kitchen was a bit dark and it appeared some bulbs were out. We did not call about the lights or I’m certain they would have rushed over. This property is right across the street from the beach access which was lovely. I will say if you are traveling with grandparents, know that the stairs are very steep and a long way up and down. Also, they are very narrow so if a group is coming up or down at the same time, someone has to wait. It wasn’t a big deal though because you are right across from the beach.

We loved staying here. The house was lovely - conveniently located and tastefully decorated. We had a little trouble initially with access codes - not to the actual house, but pool, etc. However, any time we had an issue or question the management company answered the phone and helped us with whatever. I would definitely recommend this place!

We’ve stayed in many different properties along 30-A for the last 30 years and have often driven by Magnolia but never stayed there. However we likely will be coming back after a perfect week. It’s close enough to every place of interest but without the crowds of many other places.

Spring Break, but without all the crowds

Love this house!! We had 3 adults and 4 teenagers traveling for Spring Break. The adults had a relaxing time and the kids had fun and with plenty to do while away from the house and also at the house. All of us thoroughly enjoyed our stay. The house has a wonderful front porch, great place to sit, relax and enjoy the quiet neighborhood. The interior is beautifully decorated and is very inviting. The furniture and beds are comfortable and the home had everything we needed and then some. The beach area is beautiful, not overly crowded and just a short walk across 30A. One of our favorite things about the house is the location. It is close enough to everything, but also away from the more crowded areas. Downtown Seacrest/Rosemary Beach are only about 2 miles and Seaside about 6 miles away. Teenagers liked these areas and we loved the easy bike rides to both! Grocery store within a 10 minute drive, Pier Park may be a 15 minute drive. Sans Souci is a wonderful name for this home because you truly have “no worries” while there. We look forward to coming back!

The perfect beach house in a wonderful location!

Two families of 3 enjoyed a wonderful long weekend at this house. My family has stayed in this neighborhood twice before and although we had already had two good experiences renting in this area, this home was probably our favorite and we will attempt to stay here again for our next beach vacation. It is spacious, clean, has a well equipped kitchen, a comfortable living space, is tastefully decorated and also has a great front porch. It is so convenient to the beach access and we biked into Rosemary and Alys twice while we were there. 3 bikes were included with the rental! This neighborhood is fairly quiet but is so convenient to everything you could possibly want to do at the beach. We love this area and this home! Thanks for an awesome weekend!
