About the host

Hosted by Jordan

Host profile image
We’re a family-owned hosting team who truly enjoy creating comfortable, memorable stays in places we love, and Santa Rosa Beach along Scenic Highway 30A is one of those special places for us. We’re drawn to this area for its laid-back coastal vibe, crystal-clear Gulf waters, rare mix of beach and bay access, and the sense of balance it offers between relaxation and activity. That’s exactly the experience we aim to share with our guests.

Hosting for us is about more than providing a place to stay. We focus on thoughtful details, cleanliness, and amenities that make a trip feel effortless from start to finish. Whether it’s spending time outdoors on the private patio, enjoying the nearby beaches, biking along 30A, or unwinding after a day of exploring Grayton Beach and the surrounding communities, we want our guests to feel completely at ease.

We’re attentive, friendly, and responsive, and we’re always happy to offer local recommendations for dining, beaches, bike paths, and family-friendly activities. At the same time, we respect your privacy and provide an easy self check-in process so you can enjoy your vacation at your own pace. Our goal is for every guest to feel welcomed, comfortable, and confident they chose the right home.

We take pride in maintaining a well-equipped, well-cared-for property that guests return to and recommend. Whether you’re visiting for a beach getaway, a family trip, or a relaxing stay along 30A, we’re excited to host you and help make your Santa Rosa Beach experience one you’ll want to repeat.

Why they chose this property

We chose this neighborhood because it offers one of the most desirable settings in Santa Rosa Beach along Scenic Highway 30A. It combines close proximity to the Gulf with a peaceful residential feel, giving guests the best of both relaxation and convenience. The area feels calm and welcoming, with coastal breezes, quiet streets, and easy access to everything that makes 30A special.

What we enjoy most is the balance this location provides. Guests can walk or bike to the emerald waters of the Gulf, spend the day at the beach, and return to a quiet home that feels removed from crowds. Just behind the home, the bay offers a completely different experience that is perfect for kayaking, paddleboarding, or enjoying calm sunsets. Having both beach access and bay access nearby is something guests consistently appreciate and remember.

The neighborhood is also ideally located near Grayton Beach, one of the most popular and loved areas along 30A. You are minutes from local cafes, boutique shops, coastal restaurants, and scenic bike paths that stretch throughout the area. Whether you are grabbing coffee in the morning, heading out for dinner, or biking along the coast, everything feels close without feeling busy.

We also love how active and family friendly the area is. You will often see people biking, walking to the beach, or enjoying time outdoors. The atmosphere is relaxed, safe, and perfect for couples, families, or anyone looking to unwind while still having plenty to do nearby.

This neighborhood truly captures the 30A lifestyle with beautiful beaches, bay access, outdoor activities, and a calm coastal setting that encourages you to slow down and enjoy your surroundings. It is a place guests return to again and again, and we are proud to share it with visitors looking for a memorable Santa Rosa Beach getaway.

What makes this property unique

What makes this home truly unique is how it offers both a classic beach getaway and a peaceful coastal retreat in one place. Very few properties in Santa Rosa Beach provide such easy access to the Gulf while also offering a calm, private setting with bay access just behind the home. Guests love being able to walk or bike to the beach, then return to a quiet space that feels removed from crowds.

The outdoor experience is a major highlight. The private patio is perfect for grilling, relaxing, or enjoying evenings together, while the basketball court adds a fun and unexpected feature that families and active guests especially enjoy. Being able to launch a kayak nearby and enjoy the bay gives guests a second waterfront experience that most beach homes do not offer.

Inside, the home is thoughtfully designed for comfort and ease. The open living space feels bright and welcoming, making it ideal for spending time together after a day at the beach. The fully stocked kitchen, Smart TVs, fast WiFi, washer and dryer, and comfortable bedrooms make the home feel turnkey and effortless. Guests often comment on how well equipped and organized the space feels, allowing them to settle in immediately.

Another standout feature is the location along 30A near Grayton Beach. You are close to some of the area’s best restaurants, cafes, shops, bike paths, and outdoor activities while still enjoying a peaceful residential setting. This balance of convenience and privacy is something guests consistently appreciate.

Above all, what sets this property apart is the experience it offers. It is not just a place to stay, but a home that encourages guests to enjoy the outdoors, slow down, and make lasting memories. Whether visiting for a beach vacation, a family trip, or a relaxing coastal escape, this home offers a rare combination of comfort, location, and unique amenities that keeps guests coming back.
