Great place to stay

We enjoyed 2 weeks in this house. It was perfect. There were 2 community pools to use and not too far from the beach. This house had everything we needed during our stay. Carol was great with all of the communication and I would highly recommend renting her place.

Old Florida Village-Santa Rosa Beach, FL

We have stayed in the SRB are many times in many locations. The Old Florida Village area is convenient to beach access and all the sites along scenic 30-A. This unit was very nice and comfortable. Quiet and well located in the back of the community. The owners were so communicative and helpful to our questions. We would absolutely come back to this location for future 30-A trips.

Wonderful!!!

Good to Go cottage is wonderful. We were so comfortable and everything is so clean. The area around the cottage is lovely. We took our black lab (Zach) with us and there were so many areas to walk him and it was a very dog friendly area. Although the cottage is not right on the beach we rented a golf cart and it was a fun change to take a short ride to the beach. Santa Rosa is beautiful and we are already planning our next stay at Good to Go! Thank you Carol!!

Short but sweet

We were only there two nights before we had to leave due to hurricane Michael, but the cottage was great! It is well decorated, the kitchen is very well-stocked and overall it is comfortable and helped us feel at home. It was comfortable enough that we considered staying there, indoors, until authorities issued a mandatory evacuation! We would go back! My only complaint, that wasn't a surprise, was the distance to the beach. Plan to either bike or drive - it's too far to walk with beach supplies! We have 3 young kids and choose to drive - there was parking at the beach access and it wasn't a problem at all!

Family vacation with our pups

We spent the week in Good to Go with our two kids (5 & 8) and two dogs. The neighborhood is perfect for bike rides and walks. The kids rode their bikes around the loop, down the trails, and to the pool. This unit is on the second back loop so there isn’t as much traffic. It’s an easy walk or bike ride to the beach or shops. Most days, my husband would drop us off at beach with our gear, park back at the condo, then ride the provided bike back to us. The unit was very clean and the beds were comfortable. The shower was broken in the master bathroom, but Ms. Carol was very responsive and had someone fix it as soon as possible. The bathroom drains and shower heads could use a little deep cleaning and better water pressure, but overall they were fine. The kitchen is well stocked. We had everything we needed to grill out and do a large seafood boil in the condo. Overall, we really enjoyed our week here and would love to rent it again!

Great place to relax and recharge

The house has everything you need for a relaxing time in Santa Rosa. From a well equipped kitchen to bikes for sight seeing. TV in every room for g-kids, inflatables for the pools, comfortable beds, nicely updated furnishings and fixtures. We rented. Golf cart for the week and there was good parking for both vehicles and golf cart. Gas or charcoal grill available. Clean lines and nice artwork. Close to everything in Santa Rosa and far enough away to enjoy a cup of coffee and a good book on the porch. Thank you for the opportunity to stay at your lovely home! - The Mercers

Great Stay

We really enjoyed our time here. The location is great, quick drive to the beach, walking distance to the pool. The pool was never that crowded. Community is quiet at night, mostly just families. It felt very safe. The house was the perfect size for our family of six. We would definitely stay here again!

charming house in blue mountain

We loved our time at Good to Go. Carol and Charlie were easy to work with, super responsive and some of the best hosts I have ever worked with on VRBO. The house was stocked up with extra blankets, pillows and all of the comforts of home. We were there over thanksgiving and the kitchen was full of everything you could need. I haven't seen a kitchen this stocked in a rental maybe ever. Location quiet and close to the beach. Beach access easy and includes bathrooms and an area to hose off. Thank you so much for your hospitality!

Great location, close to beaches!

The property is located in a great location close to Gulf place, beaches and many awesome restaurants! I really would have loved to give this property a perfect rating but it desperately needs renovation and a deep cleaning. Although the owners were nice enough to let us know that the front door was in need of repair and the oven needed a part replaced, the home needs great attention. The windows and seals were dirty, blinds were dusty, the bedroom (with twin beds) does remain consistently warm, bathrooms were not well cleaned and kitchen cookware probably should be replaced. One pan in particular had loose Teflon flakes all over it. I did leave it on the stove top for the owners or property managers information. Additionally, the door in the powder room is difficult to open and shut, laundry room door does not close etc. Nonetheless, we did appreciate the hospitality and do hope the homeowners plan some degree of renovation in the near future!

Nice place, close to gulf place

We were overall very happy with the house. The owner was very responsive. The location was great with easy access to Gulf Place and restaurants. The neighborhood is very quiet and quaint. There were 8 of us (4 adults and 4 kids) and we felt like we had enough space. I didn’t give it 5 stars for a couple of reasons: 1-the kitchen appliances are in desperate need of an upgrade. The counters and cabinets are nice but the appliances need to go. 2-one of the bedrooms does not cool down. Our 4 kids slept in there and it was very hot. We noticed about halfway through the stay that one of the windows above the bed was cracked open. We shut it thinking it would help and it did ever so slightly. However the room remained warm for the rest of the trip. The owner did offer to reimburse me for the price of a fan if I purchased one so that was nice. But that room needs to be addressed. The a/c worked brilliantly throughout the rest of the home. Overall, we enjoyed our stay despite the minor inconveniences.

This was our first trip to Santa Rosa! The house was in a great location and a beautiful neighborhood. The house was beautiful and clean. It had everything we needed. We loved that they had 2 bikes that we could use. It was a 5 minute bike ride to the beach. We look forward to coming back!

This home was located just north of 30-A in a quiet neighborhood that was close to the beach access and restaurants. The access is walkable but after a day at the beach it was just a bit too far to walk back so if we went to the beach after the parking was filked, my husband

Good To Go

We really enjoyed our stay! It was a 10minute walk to the beach so a little tiring with the wagon and chairs, but overall really nice location with easy access to restaurants and shopping. Working with the owner was great too, she responded quickly to all our questions. The provided amenities were a very pleasant surprise. Again, we really loved the home and had a great experience.

Listing is very misrepresented.

This rental is not as represented. It is not new, does not look to be professionally decorated, has filthy carpet, old and dirty furniture. The kitchen is poorly equipped and the washing machine contains rust in the drum. The odor in the cottage was so bad I could not stay a night. The contact for the rental never returned my calls. I do not recommend this rental.

Wonderful family outing

What a pleasant vacation. The property was 100% as advertised; low key, family friendly neighborhood, a short distance from less crowded areas of the beach, in the heart of 30A. All necessary amenities were provided. An excellent choice for a laid back week on the Emerald Coast. Owners were pleasant and responsive. I'll be back. Thank you!

Solid, well worth the time & money

This was our 3rd visit to G-T-G. Neighborhood is quiet and child friendly. The community is relaxing and perfect for family. Proximity to the finest beaches in NW Florida is excellent, short of being on the sand. The house was well maintained and properly provisioned, as always. We enjoyed the nights we stayed in a cooked and then relaxed on the porch. Pet friendly. Child friendly, safe and quiet: a comfort in 2014.

About the host

Hosted by Carol Waites

Host profile image
I was raised near the water and I have always kept a place on the water somewhere. When not working, I am at the beach or the lake.

Why they chose this property

I love the scenic 30A area. It is less dense than other areas and has that 'old Florida' feel.

What makes this property unique

In addition to access to the beach, the cottage and the community has a very private and relaxed feel to it.
