Area Attractions:
30A is a fantastic destination, and the beaches are some of the world’s best with sugar-white sand and emerald green waters. You will find plenty of beach access points along a 17-mile stretch of Santa Rosa Beach. It boasts unique shopping, fantastic cuisine, and the incredible architecture that makes 30A famous. There are activities for everyone: kayak rentals, bike rentals, paragliding, fishing, golfing, hiking, swimming, tennis — you'll find it all right here.
This condo is 2.2 miles from the Santa Rosa Golf and Beach Club. The much-loved, laid-back Gulf Place Town Center is 2.6 miles away. It's a 10-minute drive to Silver Sands Outlet Mall or 6 minutes to Grand Boulevard Town Center’s many shopping and dining options.
Gulf Place on 30A was quaintly designed for those who want to skip the massive crowds and slow down in a small beachy-vibe setting to relax amidst the beautiful palm tree-lined streets, wide sidewalks, outdoor patios with large umbrellas, and beach access to the beautiful Gulf of Mexico. Visit Gulf Place to enjoy original art, boutique shopping, local cuisine, live music, and a laid-back, casual atmosphere.
Grand Boulevard Town Center is a pedestrian-friendly shopping and dining complex on the area's main thoroughfare in Sandestin, just off Highway 98. For the high-end shopper, the center offers everything from exclusive boutiques and eateries to renowned national retail brands and a wide mix of specialty services.
The snorkelers in your group will love the new artificial reef called Seahorse Reef, deployed in 2017. Located just 715 feet out from the Topsail Hill Preserve State Park access, it is becoming a haven for sea life. Each of the 4 snorkeling reefs comprises 40 acres of permitted sea bottom. The Seahorse Reef is at a depth of 13-18 feet. We strongly recommend that snorkelers use a kayak, paddleboard, or other flotation device when visiting the snorkel reefs. Sea conditions can and do change quickly and often. Enjoy!

Gerard, thank you for your review! It's great that we could quickly resolve the door lock issue for you. We appreciate your feedback and hope to welcome you back for another stay!
We enjoyed our stay at this rental property! It was very clean and quiet and well equipped for everything we needed! Great location between Destin and some of the smaller little towns on 30 A. It is about a mile or so to the public beach parking, but was a very quick drive and had no trouble parking! Would highly recommend the property.

Property was very well maintained. Love that they provided beach chairs, umbrella, and cooler. Also the bikes were nice for riding down the 30A. The beach access was close but sometimes hard to find parking.

Okay place to stay but floor was dirty
The floor was dirty and should have been mopped versus just swept.
