Beautiful place and gorgeous beach
We had an amazing time. Plenty of space in this 3 level home. Nice kitchen, comfortable beds and lots of towels. Nice to have a Washer/dryer and outside shower. Short walk to the beautiful beach. They call it the emerald coast as the water is gorgeous turquoise. Brought our e-bikes and rode around town. Faster than driving. Or rent a golf cart - there’s golf cart parking right at the beach. Thanks Kara for hosting our family.

Wonderful Stay at Santa Rosa Beach
This location is ideal for visiting the beach. We loved the well stocked kitchen for making meals. Owner notified us before our visit of a few maintenance issues that will be taken care of after our stay - but nothing that took away from our visit. We would definitely come back.

Perfect trip!
We’ve been coming to 30A for years and years and we loved this property and the location! The beach is a two minute walk away and we loved the little neighborhood. Eventide had everything we needed for our group of 8 to vacation comfortably. The house is great! Beds were comfortable. We couldn’t have asked for more!

Perfect all the way!
A big thank you to Kara - the property was just as described. Easy access and check in / check out process. On property, a nice pellet grill plus a gas grill - spacious rooms all the way and all you need equipped all the way around. We love the location, beach, restaurants, walk/run/bike paths and shopping all close by. The small neighborhood that the property is in brings a nice and quiet atmosphere due to it being small in nature. The neighborhood pool looked great, of course out of season. We will certainly be back in 2023, Great to see it being a popular place and once you stay here, easy to understand why.

Great house, AMAZING area!
My family and I stayed here for a long weekend and had a wonderful time. The owner was very easy to communicate with and was very accommodating. The house is so cute with a great view from the top balcony. If your family loves to settle down and watch TV at night like mine, the TV has great streaming services already logged on. Although, the TV upstairs is broken, which was a little disappointing. The only suggestion I have is to have the outside decks power washed and the deck doors wiped off, they were pretty dirty. Overall, had a wonderful experience and my family says this is the only house they want to stay in on 30A for future vacations!

Perfect Vacation Home
We loved our stay at this property. It was clean, spacious and had everything needed for our week-long stay. The owner took care in planning the needs of their guests. The kitchen was well equipped, there were beach chairs and a wagon to tote things to the beach. The third floor deck had an amazing view. We may have spent most of our time up top looking out at the ocean or enjoying dinner with a view. The location of the home was perfect! We were able to to walk to the beach, restaurants, shops and more. We appreciated how close the house was to the pool...right across for the main pool gate. The property was very well-maintained both inside and out making it a very pleasant stay. I highly recommend this property and plan on returning again.
