Bula is a beachfront home with three master (en suite) bedrooms and a private walkover just steps from the waters edge.
The first floor is our "Fun" room. It has a 65" curved TV with surround sound and a L-shaped sofa perfect for the best of movie watching. There is also a bar area with a beverage center and ice maker; a game table for playing cards and boardgames; and a ping pong table. A large full bath with a steam shower completes this floor.
The second floor has a large living space: living room with a gas fireplace; dining room that seats ten, and an elegant seashell chandelier; and, a well-equiped kitchen with a bar that seats four. Behind the kitchen is a large laundry room with washer and dryer, a utility sink, and an extra refrigerator. A beautiful half bath sits across from the stairway. The Master Suite, also located on the second floor, has a king-size bed, a gas fireplace, amazing views, and french doors to the deck. Off the bedroom there is a large walk-in master closet and ensuite bath with two sinks and a separate vanity with a lighted make-up mirror and stool. The walk-in shower for two has a bench seat, a shower head at each end, and a rain can in the middle.
The third floor has four bedrooms--three beachside. Two suites anchor the corners of the house. The Sunrise Suite is on the Southeast corner and has views in both directions, a walk-in closet and a bath with a double vanity, walk-in shower, and private toilet room. The Sunset Suite sits on the Southwest corner and has a beach view as well as a beautiful sunset view. The ensuite bath has a walk-in shower and a private toilet room. The Queen bedroom is in-between the two suites on the beach side of the house and has a Queen-sized bed. This room shares a bath in the hall with the bunk room. The bunk room is on the front of the house and has two sets of bunk beds, each with individual lights for reading. The hall bath has a shower over a tub and a private toilet room. All three beach-side bedrooms on this floor have french doors that lead out to the deck.
The first floor deck is just inches above the sand where you can enjoy a totally unobstructed view of the Gulf. One side of the deck has a swim spa/pool (appx. 14ft. x 8 ft.) The second floor deck has a dining table with seating that will accommodate 10; a conversation area with a love seat, two comfortable chairs and a low table; and off the master bedroom side of this deck we have two chaise lounges for relaxing. The third floor deck has two large swings. The public parts of the house and the decks are all outfitted with speakers and Sonos.
Along the west side of the house private steps lead from the beach to the first floor deck, the grilling area, the outdoor shower, and our great sand room. The sand room is assessable from the outside of the house and is a great area for you to hang wet towels and store sand toys and chairs.
There is NO street parking in Gulf Trace which makes it a very private area. We offer off-street parking for three to four cars.
Due to safety concerns GOLF CARTS are no longer allowed in our neighborhood.
We have security cameras on the outside (only outside!) of the house around the perimeter. All ground floor doors are within sight of a camera as is the driveway and steps to the beach. The camera on the first deck includes a view of the swim spa/pool. There are no cameras on the two upper decks.

We had the most incredible week with the whole family in November this year. The host was so accommodating (even arranging for is to stay an extra night last minute), the house was comfortable and well appointed, and the location can’t be beat! We will definitely be coming back.

We loved having you at the beach house! Looking forward to having you and your family back:)
Bula Beach House was a beautiful and spacious home. The view of the beach was awesome. Our family really enjoyed our beach vacation here. Would like to stay at Bula on our next beach vacay if it is still a rental.Thank you for letting us stay at your beach home.
We had three generations of our family staying for a week and this property was perfect for all. Loved the location of being close to all the 30A activities but away from all the beach crowds.
Highly recommend!

Made for a great family trip! The house management was very accommodating and responsive to our needs and requests. The view from the balconies and the private beach were really top notch. We would definitely stay again in the future.

We loved having your family and hope to see you back soon!
Our family stayed at the home for a week. The home was immaculate and well maintained. Carla provided us a ton of info and tips about the surrounding area that kept us occupied. The sand and water is some of the best we have experienced in comparison to the beaches we have vacationed at in Hawaii, Mexico and the Bahamas. We will definitely be returning!

Thanks for being great guests! We are happy to have you back at BULA anytime:)
We loved everything about this beautiful, spacious, well-situated beach house. It was perfect for our multi-generation family vacation. The views from the house are exceptional: both the sunrise and sunset can be seen. The house is equipped with everything you might need, and the owner is very helpful in answering any questions. Our entire family wants to return as soon as we can!
The home is beautiful! The kitchen is well stocked with everything anyone could possibly need. It is also so very organized. The location could not be better. It's amazing with how crowded the 30A beaches are that we had this amount of privacy. There is nothing like it! Thanks so much!!
Perfect location. Location adjacent to state park was private, but excellent access to anything we needed. Lovely home with gorgeous views. Spacious, clean and modern. The home had every amenity. As we had never used VRBO before, the property owner was accommodating with all of our pre-holiday questions and concerns. Recommend without any reservations.

Hi Jeffrey and thank you for the nice review. It was a pleasure to host you and your family--you were perfect guests! Hope to see you back at the beach soon:)
Everything was lovely and clean! Beautifully but simply decorated and the beds were very comfortable! The downstairs area was perfect for early mornings with the little children. It leads outside to the dip pool and to the beach.
The pool was cleaned twice while we were there and was great for cooling off. Several of us took advantage of the steam shower downstairs.
The kitchen was well stocked for cooking with plenty of room for eating at the big table.
Two laundry areas make it easy to wash towels and kids clothes.
This house is in a true neighborhood where you can feel comfortable pushing strollers and walking with little kids or biking for older children.
The beach is CLOSE! A garage was full of toys and games for the beach which was very appreciated
I can’t say enough about this house! We loved staying here!

The house was tired, the sheets/bedding were older and the pictures were inaccurate. It was not cleaned well prior to check-in. The photos do not show the nicks in the furniture, the stained bedding, or the inefficient window treatments. It just felt like a worn-down beach house. We had plumbing issues during our trip with the hot tub and toilet that were not addressed as well but it was high time so the rental agency may have been overwhelmed. There are a tremendous amount of high-end homes in the area, our recommendation is you pass on this particular if you are looking for a five-star experience, keep scrolling.

HI Madeleine-I remember we spoke when you reserved the beach house and you said you were renting for your boss and his family. Since you were never at the beach house I'm sure your boss coached you. He may not have told you that I had to withhold a substantial portion of his security deposit because of damages. We've only had to withhold monies from security deposits a couple of times over the years but it always generates a bad review. I did not post a bad review of your boss because the house was rented in your name and I didn't think it would be fair to your reputation to have to suffer for his bad behavior. I would also like to note that most of our guests are return renters and book directly through my property management company and VRBO will not let people post reviews that do not book through their website.
Here are some of the issues we had with your boss and his stay:
--The cushions from the game room sofa which is inside the house were found by housekeeping OUTSIDE and had to be sent out to be cleaned. (Thank goodness I have a second set of covers.)
--All of the bedding from one of the full-sized bunk beds was missing--two mattress pads, a set of sheets and the quilt/coverlet. House keeping looked everywhere--even in the outside garbage and the bedding was not on the property.
--Guests moved furniture from the second deck to the bottom deck and left it although Instructions emailed to guests specifically states to not move furniture and that there will be a charge to return moved furniture.
--Instructions also warn there will be a charge for late check outs and your boss and his family had my cleaners waiting for a considerable time.
--pots and pans with food from the night before were left on the stove.
--the house was generally a mess and neighbors reported that it appeared that friends or other family were staying at other houses in the neighborhood and they all used ours as the "beach house" creating more wear and tear than would have been normal.
The house was spotless and well appointed. The beach chairs and umbrellas were a nice touch. The TV situation was my only complaint. Wanted to watch Thursday Night Football and the channel wasn’t included and in general operating the TVs was anything but easy. There were no directions or suggestions on how to use. Honestly, we didn’t rent to watch tv but the one time we wanted to, we couldn’t figure it out. Eventually we were able to use airplay to stream it from an iPad to watch. Other than that issue, the place was fabulous.
We really enjoyed our stay at the beautiful Bula house! Comfortable, well equipped, and beautifully decorated this place was just perfect. Surrounded by the state park, this place is a dream if you are looking for a quieter and more private beach vacation. We loved how close it was to the water and how you could sit on the porches and feel like you were right on the beach. Overall, a 5 star stay!
Lastly, a shout out to the owner, Carla, and her management team for their quick responses to questions and overall wonderful friendliness! We would stay here again and again!
We loved this house! It was perfect for our family. It has the best views from the bedrooms and the swings were a favorite. Anytime we had a question or small problem, Carla or the 30A team were quick to respond and take care of the problem. They were a pleasure to deal with. We Will definitely be returning!
This home was perfect for our family. My husband and I and our daughter’s family (kids ages 5,2,1) found it to be everything we hoped for—in a quiet community, beachfront and just steps to the water, and because of its location beside a park it was basically our own private beach. Because our grandkids are not really swimmers, the small sports pool was just right. They would play on the beach in the mornings and then when it was very hot in the afternoon they would enjoy time in the covered pool area.
We also spent much of our time on the porch where we enjoyed spectacular views.
The home itself was perfect for us— clean, well-equipped, nicely decorated.
Lastly, the property management company was very responsive when we had to call about some minor issues.
We definitely hope to return here!
We had a fantastic time. The house had all we needed and we loved all of the outdoor spaces to relax and enjoy the views and sunsets. Thank you for sharing your beautiful home!
Everything was great with the exception of some of the electronics not functioning. We had been told that the property manager checked electronics after each tenant. The rather stern details we received from the owner prior to our arrival threatened us with the forfeiture of our security deposit if we damaged anything, including the electronics. It was, therefore, disappointing to discover that not all the electronics were usable. Repairs were made four days after our arrival.
Otherwise, the accommodations were everything we could have wanted.

Hi Linda,
I’m sorry that the TV on the first level and the Sonos wasn’t working for your entire stay. For some crazy reason we had several groups this year that disconnected our equipment and didn’t get it put back correctly (one group took the equipment out and couldn’t get it back in the cabinet!). Our maintenance group can sometimes get the equipment reconnected but we had to call in a professional group to take care of the issue after the people before you. Getting on someone’s schedule can take days and it costs hundreds of dollars to get everything sorted out. So yes, I’m afraid I felt the need to get stern in my language.
Your group, however, was great and we appreciate that you took good care of our home:)
Best,
Carla (owner)
Our group of 10 had an amazing time at this gorgeous home. The ocean views were unparalleled, and the beach access was incredible, especially since we had grandparents with us in our group. The kitchen was well stocked, and we ate in a few nights so that we could watch the sunset from the porches. Our teens really enjoyed the downstairs "fun room", with the large tv and comfortable sofa. The steam shower was a huge hit with them as well. During our stay, one of the AC units went out, and it was caught by a maintenance person before we even had a chance to report it, and they had fixed the issue (actually replaced the unit) within 24 hours. We have stayed beachfront on 30A for the past three summers, and this was our favorite location. We can't wait to go back :)

The house was immaculate. It has beautiful views from almost every room in the house. It was private and did not have a throng of beachgoers. We will definitely rent here again.

Thank you! We look forward to having you back at Bula Beach House!
We loved staying at this property with our family and children! The location cannot be beat! I enjoyed drinking morning coffee on the porch swings upstairs while listening to the ocean sounds. The downstairs deck is very nicely done so you don't even have to put shoes on to get to the beach! And once you're there, the beach location feels very private. Even on a few chilly days, we all enjoyed the warm swim spa or playing ping-pong inside. The neighborhood is quiet and perfect for evening family walks. We will be back for sure!!
This home is exquisite and the location is perfect. You can't get better ocean views!! Stay here if you want to be close to everything but also want a private beach!

About the host
Hosted by Carla
We are originally from Arkansas and traveled to Florida's 30A for vacations growing up. We raised our kids in San Francisco but introduced them to Florida's most beautiful beach when they were babies to continue the tradition of our youths. My husband and I currently live in London and don't get to Florida as often as we would like so we decided to share our special spot on the beach by making it available to rent.
Why they chose this property
We rented this house for our once-a-year multi-generational family vacation when our kids were young. We made so many great memories here that we decided to buy it when it became available. The photograph hanging in the dining area is of my husband's mother and her four grandkids on the beach in front of the house.
What makes this property unique
We rented different houses along the 30 A corridor but this house was one of our favorite because of it's unique location on 30 A (private, yet within biking distance to Seaside) and because of the house's orientation on the beach which allows for views up an down the beach as well as out to sea. We were delighted when this house came on the market! We worked for over a year to update the house to a luxury property to be enjoyed by our family and hopefully yours.
