Great location

The condo was a great location and updated beautifully. It was perfect for our family which included teenagers and small kids. Steps away from the pool and a short walk to the beach on the boardwalk. The beach was beautiful with clear water and white sand. Our family had a great time and we will be back!

Perfect location for the beach, pool, & restaurants!

Our family spent Spring Break here and loved every second of it! The unit is right next to the pool, making it very easy for families to run back to grab forgotten items, grab lunch, etc. The beach was gorgeous and the boardwalk made it easy for our kids to get to/from it without complaints! Also, walking distance from coffee, restaurants, ice cream, and local shopping. Christie was a fantastic host and made the whole communication/check-in process easy! Will definitely stay here again!

Relaxing family vacation

This condo was perfect for a relaxing week at the beach. The host was very helpful and easy to communicate with. The condo is well maintained and has everything you need. The property is ideal for anyone with children since it is located just steps away from the pool. The pool is very well kept and clean. The sweet lady who manages the pool and common areas keeps everything in great condition. I would love to stay here again.

Wonderful vacation!

We enjoyed our stay at San Remo. One of the best vacations we’ve had. Being on the ground floor with children was so nice due to the amount of beach items we carried back and forth. The pool was steps away and easy for our children to go back and forth for lunch, restroom, etc. The pool was always clean and the grounds were well taken care of. The beach is one of a kind and a short walk from the pool. Christie was always available if needed and made sure we had all info before arriving. We loved San Remo and will be back!

5 star vaca!

We traveled with three young children and aging parents- this truly fit all ages perfectly. The proximity of the pool and beach were fantastic, layout of the condo was extremely spacious, and we walked to breakfast, ice cream, and shopping! We wished we could have completed our stay (hurricane Helene decided to arrive!) but hope to be back soon. Christie did a fantastic job stocking the house with everything we needed and then some, and interior decor was beautiful.

Perfect beach getaway

Blue Barrel was perfect in every way. The layout was great for our family of 4. The beds were so comfortable! We loved walking out the door right to the pool, beach & large hot tub or just sitting in the patio enjoying the views. The kitchen had just what we needed for meals in but we really enjoyed walking the 10 min for some great meals & live music. Our favorites were Perfect Pig, Papa Surf (backyard patio), and Red Bar (30 min bike ride). We hope to be back again one day!

About the host

Hosted by Christie Homola

Host profile image
"About us." Newly married during the pandemic, we cancelled our big 2020 wedding at the last minute and decided it would be just as fitting to get married under a large southern oak tree instead. Once married, we had no where to go for our honeymoon other than a little secret beach on a hidden highway called 30A. This was not our first trip to this coast by any means, but this was where we fell in love again and again. A few years later we have found ourselves a slice of heaven at San "Dreamo" (our nickname for San Remo). Who needs a big wedding and a honeymoon when you have a forever honeymoon. ❤
~Note from the new owners, Jaeson and Christie~

Why they chose this property

When we found this property it was love at first sight. My eyes literally welled with tears it was that perfect. Every inch of it was designed with meaning and love. I hope you love it the same way that we do.

What makes this property unique

I think our favorite thing about this property is the location. A short walk to the west will land you in the heart of Gulf Place with all of the amenities there (Shunk Gulleys, Pecan Jacks, The Perfect Pig to name a few). Goat Feathers is to the east, Local Catch, The Grove and Basmatis restaurant and Mimmos Italian. There is no end in choices for good things to eat that are within walking/biking distance.
From the beach, we have a private boardwalk that is no where near a public access; much of our beach to the east is a non-rental zone, which lends itself to optimum privacy.
In the mornings we like to walk to the east toward Draper Lake. Once there, it is absolutely magic the way the lake meets the ocean.
In the evenings, just look to the west for a fire-in-the-sky sunset like you can see no where else. It is truly something to behold.
