Beach Thanksgiving

Met family for thanksgiving at the beach- it was such an amazing house! Totally impressed everyone we stayed with. We brought our two young children and they had a blast- great beach access without being right on the beach which we preferred. Totally recommended!!!!

Family trip before school.

Beautiful and spacious home! Walk to beach wasn’t too bad. Homeowner provided wagon and beach essentials to make visiting the beach easy. Ideal location. Close to great breakfast, dinner and desert. Host quickly responded to questions and request. We plan to return. Quiet neighborhood.

Great place to vacation!

We enjoyed the stay at Gin and Tonic. Rebecca was extremely responsive and helpful. Great place to stay. We did wish there were a few more basic items left there. We didn’t have things like napkins or paper cups. We were told that in advance but other places we stayed did have items on hand. Also wish that check in was earlier and checkout later. You basically pay for a day that’s wasted.

Family getaway

Gin and Tonic was perfect for our family getaway. Bedrooms were spacious and plenty of bathrooms for our group of 6 adults and 3 kids. Only have one criticism concerning space in the kitchen. Only made for one person honestly. Space is small between the stove and the island. We found ourselves accidentally bumping into the stove dials. Have to watch that! But all is was great. I would recommend Gin and Tonic for your stay!

All around 5 stars.

Beautiful home, excellent location and great amenities. But really what made it 5 stars was the service. The outdoor shower had low pressure, but with one call, in 15 minutes someone came and fixed the issue. A second issue arose with the golf cart, no cable, one text to the owner and he came within 20 minutes and provided a new cable and we were good to go. I think that's what makes the difference, as a homeowner I know nothing will be perfect and things will wear down, but resolving the issues in a timely manner is what makes the difference. Thank you. We plan to stay again.

Beautiful Home in a Quiet Community

Our family had a wonderful time staying at Gin & Tonic. The gift basket was a very nice touch. We have always enjoyed staying in the Blue Mountain Beach part of Santa Rosa Beach because it's much quieter than the crowded areas like Seaside...yet a quick drive from all of those activities if you do want to venture out. Gin & Tonic was definitely our favorite Blue Mountain Beach home-away-from-home so far. This beautifully decorated home is in a small community with new construction homes and is situated next to the neighborhood pool...which was convenient when my family wanted a break from the beach. There is a private neighborhood path that will take you to Redfish Village, home of Trebeache, for a nice dinner or happy hour. The best ice cream, waffle cones, and donuts are also located nearby at Blue Mountain Beach creamery. The local Publix grocery store is only 5 minutes away for supply runs. Tip: bring bikes and bring cash for the addictive cash-only ice cream stand nearby :)

Beautiful Home

This Beautiful home had everything you expect in a vacation home plus so many extras. We came down for a thanksgiving vacation and had a wonderful experience at Gin & Tonic. The home was beautiful, clean, in a great area, and had many extras I’ve never seen in a vacation home. Like a fooseball table and chess board that helped keep my teens entertained. The one and only minor flaw was the kitchen area. Although the kitchen is beautiful and fully stocked it could have had a bit more room. The island sits a little close to the stove. The area is plenty big enough to have set the island another foot or so away. We usually aren’t cooking much on vacation so had we not been preparing a big meal for Thanksgiving we wouldn’t have noticed. Having said that I would gladly rent this property again.

Comfortable vacation home

Gin and tonic vacation home is very well maintained. Very clean and comfortable. Has all the necessities. Very spacious, was able to accommodate 3 families. Conveniently located. A short walk to the beach and even shorter by car (3 min). Good places to eat right nearby. Owners respond super quickly to any questions. Highly recommended.

Awesome time at Gin & Tonic

Gin & Tonic is a super clean, modern home in Santa Rosa beach. Our family loved every aspect of our stay here. The open concept living/dining area was a huge hit, and the bedrooms are plush and luxurious. We took full advantage of the gas grill and barbecued for the kids. The triple bunk bed and game table in the kids room was more then they could handle. This home had all the comforts, plus more! We will definitely be coming back.

The house was very nice and close to the beach.

The house was close to the beach and the pool. The home had all basic necessities and is very nice with plenty of space. The only downside were a few maintenance and cleaning items. There were dirty dishes in the cabinets with salad dressing sticky in two bowls, and there was black hair in the shower drain when we arrived, walls could use paint as it is scuffed and fingerprinted pretty bad- but it is flat paint which doesn’t allow much for daily use. Basic maintenance items needed attention: the downstairs master toilet ran continuously after flushing, the shower head sprays sideways straight out the door when you turn it on. Unfortunately, the TV in the downstairs living room and master bdrm didn’t work. The ‘maintenance guy’ got it on for 5 mins but after it went off again he wasn’t able to fix it. We didn’t need the tv much, but it would have been nice as we were settling in for the evening each night with our kids. The owners have a very nice home and only need to tweak their maintenance items and their cleaning crew. No huge complaints, just to help for the next family.
