The place was great and check in and out a breeze. Easy to get to other places but far enough back you did not feel crowded. The golf cart was in great condition and pool perfect for all ages.

This house was incredible! It has a ton of space, it is well stocked and is beautiful. Everything was clean, updated, and felt like home. The neighborhood was quiet but still very close to the beach. Communication was clear and on time. We hope to be back!!

We hope that to see you again too, Ryan and are thrilled that you enjoyed your stay! Take care!
The house was unbelievable. Every attention to detail was nailed!! Responsiveness from maintenance was just as great. We would easily stay time and time again.
Family had a great stay. Close to the beach. We could bike or take the golf cart. Parking the golf cart was tricky if you did not go early. We had rip tides for 2 days so luckily the kids had the pool Lots of room loved the ping pong table. Overall a good vacation.

We had 3 families. Each family had a story. Loved that all the adults had a king sized bed! TVs in each bedroom which was nice for the kids. Very clean and organized. Even had beach umbrella s and chairs which saved us some money! The golf cart was fun and essential! Pool was a bonus!

Our stay at Ash in the Sand was nothing less than perfect! The home is beautifully decorated, very clean, and well equipped. The extra amenities such as a 6 passenger golf cart, ping pong table, foosball and cruiser bikes just add to the fun! The beds are quite comfortable, the location is ideal...10 minute walk, less than 5 min ride in the golf cart. Very close to downtown shops and restaurants. The property manager at Vacation at It's Finest is very friendly, responsive and so accommodating- genuinely concerned with wanting to make our stay the best it could be. And that it was...have stayed in many vacation rentals over the years and this one was hands down, the BEST!!!

The home was so beautiful and clean! We really enjoyed our stay and wished we could have stayed longer. There are a lot of steps but there is one bedroom of the main for elderly family members. Maybe a 10 minute walk to the beach so very convenient. The team was very response to all questions. We definitely want to come back!

We recently stayed with Vacation at its Finest at a vacation rental property in Santa Rosa Beach, Florida in May, 2024 for 7 nights. My husband, our daughter's family of 5 and my son's family of 3. Five children ages 9 mos, 2.5 yrs, 7, 9 and 11. The kids loved having their own private paradise including pool, gulf cart, pingpong table, foosball and corn hole. The property management staff was the best I've worked with since we started taking our family vacations to Gulf Shores, Orange Beach and 30A Florida for the last 9 years. Donna and her team were very attentive, quick to respond, knowledgable and friendly.The location was the best and everything was within walking distance (beach, coffee, food).
