About this property
Nestled near beach-new updates-community pool-near shops, restaurants & cafes.
"BreakAway" from your regular routine and stay at our inviting beach cottage! Make it your home away from home. Relax in the coastal and tropical inspired decor with an overall contemporary feel. The house is just a 5 minute walk or 0.2 of a mile (350 yards) to the nearest beach access, Gulfview Heights. It is also minutes away from the Ed Walline beach access at Gulf Place. Both locations are equipped with restrooms, picnic pavilions, and outdoor wash facilities to remove the saltwater and sand.
Bright, shiny and airy....the 2 story cottage has hand scraped wood floors throughout except for tile floors in the bathrooms. The first floor consists of a living room, dining room, kitchen, primary bedroom with en-suite bath, and half bath. The living room includes a queen sleeper sofa with Cozy Mattress, and 60-inch LED TV with DVD player. The TV can be adjusted to be viewed from either the living or dining area. The dining room has seating for 8 while the breakfast bar has 4 additional stools. The kitchen has granite countertops and stainless steel appliances and is well-equipped for your cooking and baking needs. Located in the rear of the home is a private patio with main bedroom access.
Located upstairs is another living area, 3 bedrooms and 2 full baths. The additional living area has a queen sofa sleeper with Cozy Mattress, and a TV with DVD player. To add some fun and whimsy there are some themed rooms. There is a queen bedroom reminiscent of the beach. A sea turtle bedroom with 2 twin beds, and a fish decorated bunk room, with a twin over full bed, complete the bedrooms. These rooms are great for kids and those who are kids at heart!
The house is part of a small community called Beach Nest that offers a community pool just steps away from the house. This neighborhood has been called a "Hidden Gem" due to its great location. Enjoy and experience everything the 30-A area has to offer! Restaurants and shops abound in the area. There is something for everyone. Walking hiking and biking paths (2 short blocks away) are very accessible.
You can explore the quaint town of Seaside where Tim Burton’s "The Truman Show" was filmed. Or, enjoy nature in nearby state parks. Many of the communities plan activities, such as outdoor concerts. There are several scenic and challenging golf courses in the area. And if you cannot find it on 30-A, you are in close proximity to Destin and Panama City Beach.
We, too, are consumers of VRBO and have tried to put ourselves in the position of someone spending time at the house. We have put much thought into making this house a home and hope you will consider our house for your vacation plans. In an effort to pay more attention to details, all bedding has been encased with allergy protection products to make allergy sufferers more comfortable. Perfect for large families, extended family and friends, golf getaways, and gals and guys' trips.
Is pickle ball your game? Please ask about access to courts. Walton Sports Complex is about 15 minutes away! We can help reserve courts at certain times.
The HOA has surveillance cameras outside for the security and safety of home owners and guests. There is a HOA camera in the front of our house which captures the street and a portion of our driveway. There is also a camera in the back of the house which covers the area behind the first two houses. The community pool entrance is under surveillance by another HOA camera.

We had a wonderful stay and couldn’t have asked for a better experience. The place was exactly as described—clean, comfortable, and thoughtfully set up with everything we needed. The location was perfect and made getting around very easy. The host was friendly, responsive, and made check-in and communication seamless. We truly felt at home and would absolutely stay here again. Highly recommend to anyone looking for a relaxing and hassle-free stay!

We loved the house and neighborhood. Close to beach, shopping and restaurants. Very easy to get around on 30 A. We will definitely recommend this house to our friends and hopefully we can return someday and stay at the same house.

We have been staying on 30A for many years and this was the best house we have ever stayed in. It was incredibly clean, had many of the extras that we needed with a large family and was close to everything! We had an amazing week and will definitely be back!!

About the host
Hosted by Rose Bernardez
We visited the 30-A area on a few vacations over a decade ago, and fell in love with the place! It was suggested to us at our son's baseball games as a great place to vacation. We live in St. Louis and the members of our family are truly a bunch of beach bums. The Santa Rosa Beach area has everything we were looking for...an outstanding beach, quaint small towns. but also close to larger cities. There is so much to do along 30-A and the surrounding areas!
Why they chose this property
Spacious, yet close proximity to white, sugar sand beach and other activities and necessities. Not only easy walking distance to beach, but also to shops and restaurants. We also liked the accessibility to biking and hiking trails.
What makes this property unique
The location was hard to beat to get the size and amenities of this house. It has a wonderful combination of a small town atmosphere with the benefits of larger cities. The newness of the house is appealing while still retaining a rustic, cottage charm.
