This year’s vacation was wonderful as well. Thank you so much for everything. We will definitely choose this place again for our vacation plans in September. We are from New Orleans, and Santa Rosa Beach has become our one and only vacation destination.I would also especially like to thank Sand Dollar One Vacation Rentals for their incredible customer service.

My wife and I stayed here with our son and his wife and future granddaughter. Our pups loved it and so did we. The only suggestions I have for the owners/property managers is that tv's are cheap nowadays. Invest in some bigger ones. :) It did storm several days while we were there and it would have been nice to be able to see the tv screen better. Regardless, I would definitely book here again.

Thank you so much for sharing your experience! We’re so happy to hear that you, your family, and your pups enjoyed your stay. It’s wonderful to know that the home was a comfortable place for everyone to relax and make memories together, especially with such an exciting time of welcoming a future granddaughter.
We appreciate your helpful feedback regarding the TVs. Guest suggestions are very important to us, and we’ll be sure to share your recommendation with the homeowners as we continue looking for ways to enhance the guest experience.
Thank you again for choosing to stay with us, and we’re thrilled to hear you would return. We’d love the opportunity to welcome you and your family (and pups!) back for another great beach getaway!
Pros:We loved the home. Beautifully remodeled. Very nicely decorated. Gorgeous kitchen, fully stocked. Easy check-in. Nice cookware.Cons:No spices. Loud sound when flushing guest toilet. Water takes awhile to heat in the shower. There was mention of a pool code, but no instructions to access. Also, as someone who has just recovered from mold illness, I noticed the wood surrounding the house (sunrooms, front deck) smell very strong and I would highly recommend you treating the wood for mold and checking for mycotoxins for those environmentally sensitive.Overall, we had a wonderful experience.

This was our second stay at this property, and we loved it just as much as the first time! We live in New Orleans, and this is truly the only vacation spot where our whole family feels completely relaxed and at peace. The atmosphere is serene, the location is surrounded by beautiful nature, and everything was simply perfect. Thank you so much for your warm hospitality — we can’t wait to come back again!

Dear Jonathan,
We are so thrilled your enjoyed your stay in this unique home within this quiet neighborhood. It truly is one of my favorites since it has a spectacular outdoor setting and the screened in porches are amazing. Its hard to believe that literally you can be sitting on the sugar white sand in less than 5 min from your home. You can not find this type of property very often.
We hope you will be returning to the area again in the near future. If so, please give Sanddollar One a call directly to receive a repeat discount.
Again, we thank you for choosing Sanddollar One, the Best Team on 30 A
My wife and I thoroughly enjoyed our stay here. The home was very clean, well maintained and perfectly furnished. The house is in a quiet neighborhood and only three minutes drive to the public beach access. The property was also listed as pet friendly, which is great as it is sometimes hard to find listings that allow dogs. We hope to stay again someday!

Absolutely amazing. The neighborhood is so quiet and the outside area of house is as amazing as the inside. It truly felt like our home away from home. Beautifully decorated, clean and the porch areas are screened in and so comfortable. The area was amazing so close to everything but still quiet.
We enjoyed staying at Restful Ridge so much. The pictures on-line do not do it justice. Its beautiful. Everything you need is there. Very convenient to everything on Santa Rosa Beach and 30A. Drive to the beach not bad at all.
Cant wait to plan our next stay.
