If we return to the area, I would definitely stay there again.

Wonderful stay
This house was perfect for our family's stay! The location was excellent - close to the beach, but tucked back in the neighborhood to make for a quiet retreat. Everything was well-appointed and comfortable. We appreciated the bikes too.
The property is exactly as advertised. We had a slight issue with the cable remotes, I texted them and it was rectified within a few hours. I was very appreciative of that. Location is great for walking to the beach and riding bikes to Seaside. We really enjoyed our stay and would consider another visit if we come back to Sant Rosa Beach.
We had a great stay! Spacious and clean house with a large open kitchen, perfect for my large family. Comfortable beds with plenty of extra blankets and pillows available. Close walk or bike ride to the beach, pool, Seaside neighborhood. Quiet and well kept neighborhood.
We had a wonderful stay. The house is a 5-10 walk straight to the beach access, 2 min from the nice community pool, and a 5-8 min drive from Seaside shopping and entertainment, and grocery store. The house was clean, well stocked, and very comfortable. The quiet community was perfect for our young family!
We greatly enjoyed our stay at Life’s A Beach! Check-in was seamless, the house was spacious and as described, and it suited our family of 6 perfectly! We enjoyed riding the bikes downtown, and utilized the tennis/pickleball court, the pool and went to the beach several times. This was the perfect end of summer vacation!
Amazing house in a nice quiet location but still close to the beach. The house was very clean and spacious for my family of 8. The beach is easily walkable and the neighborhood pools are nice and quiet. We would definitely consider staying here again. It’s amazing!
Our goal was to explore 30a. This house is convenient to the beach access, pool and within biking distance to seaside. We had a very comfortable stay with 7 people. The house is well equipped for cooking. It was great to have access to bikes and a small collection of beach gear. We would definitely stay here again.
Really nice house w/ good furnishings in a good location. Management company was great & very quickly responded to a small issue. Is surprisingly much larger than appears in pictures.
Loved everything about this place. Short walk to the beach and pool. The house was decorated In a comfortable style with rooms far enough apart to have your own privacy. Loved how the house was set in an older style neighborhood with large trees and landscaping that made it feel more like private homes than touristy, and made it nice to sit on the outdoor porches because of the shade. Will definitely try to book this home again.
This property was a short walk to the beach, and in a lovely, quiet neighborhood. It came perfectly equipped with all kitchen needs and comfortably accommodated our 6 guests. The owners were quick to respond to questions and left clear instructions inside. It’s right in the mix of everything 30-A. Would definitely stay again!
We loved our week at the beach! This house was perfect for our group. My favorite spot was the screened in porch, cute and cozy. We rode our bikes everywhere, especially to the beach access just across the street. Thanks for supplying everything we didn’t know we needed!

RELAXING OASIS
What a perfect getaway!!! We shared this beautiful home with friends and had the most relaxing time. The walk to the beach was NO big deal and the neighborhood is so quiet. The bikes were great for getting around the area for meals, etc. We enjoyed the farmer's markets on Saturday and Sunday morning. We will be back!!!
Extremely close to the beach and the neighborhood pool is literally a stones throw away. Recommend bringing own beach towels/detergent but it was all mentioned in the file sent. Comfortable stay!
