My family came to the Santa Rosa Beach area for our first beach trip. This house was perfect for us. Our grandchild loves the bunk roomand all of the toys that were furnished. The beach was a very short walk and the house was in the perfect spot to travel to see other areas along the coast. We are planning our trip for next year!

We had a wonderful trip. The house is plenty big. Best stocked kitchen of any rental we have ever been in. And the private beach access was awesome, especially over a holiday weekend. And Stinky fish camp was a simple walk with excellent food! Walmart is 2.5 miles away and made grocery pick up easy.

This was a perfect set up for our family of 11 adults and three kids. The bunk room even worked out perfectly for four adults, and all other rooms gave us plenty of room for each of us to have our own space. The house was clean, the pool was perfect for our kids and family to enjoy. The host was great to work with , and very responsive to a few minor concerns we had. The location was perfect - only five minute walk to a quiet beach away from crowds, and you are only a five minute drive to the store. We had an amazing week and would definitely book this location again.

Beautiful, well-equipped home for our group of 13. The pool was the perfect size for us, especially with the 5 boys ages 6-9. That bunk room for the kids was a huge hit! The entire home was nicely appointed - bedrooms, bathrooms, kitchen (counter space, appliances, dishes, utensils, pots and pans), great gathering space for watching the World Cup, and plenty of comfortable outdoor furniture too! We were able to park 4 vehicles in the driveway without blocking each other. The walk to the beach was good, but there are several steps (up and down) to access the beach, so if you take a few wagons like we did, you will need to lift them over the steps. We would definitely recommend this property!

Family Trip

The house was great for a large family trip. Our three year old really enjoyed the pirate ship bed set up and it was a quick easy walk to the beach. The heated pool option was also a nice touch since it wasn’t warm enough to swim in the ocean.

This house worked well for our group of 12. 8 adults and 4 kids. Our kids LOVED the bunk room and all the toys and games provided. The heated pool was well worth the money. I will note that when the nights got cold it did take a bit for the pool to heat back up. The host was very quick to respond to any issues we had. We liked this location as it was less busy than when we ventured closer to Seaside. Next time we would rent E bikes and explore further down 30A without having to drive.

About the host

Hosted by Jessica Rice-Pugh

Host profile image
Be our guests! We are passionate about making memories for families; and have been hosting family-friendly vacation rentals since 2020. We decided to start hosting after we got married in 2019 and centered our lives around our mutual values (family and travel being two of them!)

We are grateful for all of the memories we've built while traveling together through vacation rental experiences. We're also building a family of our own - as of the time of this writing we have an 18-month old son and another baby on the way. We hope our experience as guests, as a family, and everything we continue to learn as parents, helps us to be great hosts and anticipate the needs of you and your family while you vacation as our guests.

Why they chose this property

We fell in love with the sugary white sand and turquoise water of the Emerald Coast! Our property has the beach house feel and it just screams family! This house was drawn to me because it reminds me of cherished memories of my family's annual beach trips to the Outer Banks NC. This area is perfect for families' and I look forward for our property to become a memory maker for other families and our own as well.
