About this property

BEST Location on 30A, FREE Beach Setup/Gear on Private Beach & Heated Pool!

BEST LOCATION on 30A for families and kids who love the beach and exploring! Enjoy "Bright Sunshiny Day" at the beach from this charming, newly remodeled beach cottage in the popular and picturesque private, gated, beach-front neighborhood of Sunrise Beach on 30A. The house sits on a cul-de-sac just 86 steps from one of multiple private neighborhood beach accesses. No public streets for the kids to cross to get to the beach, or beach crowds to fight with the help of a neighborhood beach attendant during high season! At the same time, the private beach is right next door to the public beach access at Gulf Place/Ed Walline Park, with full use of its amenities, including flag warnings, a lifeguard/first aid station, and wheelchair ramp access to the beach.

And with all the beach gear this house includes, all you'll need are your swimsuits and sunscreen! The property comes with free daily set up by La Dolce Vita beach service upon request of 4 free beach chairs (with footrests) and 6 free umbrellas (with which you can use additional chairs we provide with the house) on the private beach from March 1 through October 31, 2024, as well as towels, backpack beach chairs, a full-size cooler, a beach buggy, beach toys, and more--all for your use.

Nestled between the private white sand beach and adorable Gulf Place Town Center, you'll be away from it all and in the middle of everything at the same time. This fantastic community is just steps from some of the best beaches in Florida and is simultaneously surrounded by great eateries and local eclectic shops. No need to drive to the beach or restaurants! Home is just down the road from amazing shopping centers like Grand Boulevard, the Silver Sands Premium Outlet Mall, and grocery stores as well.

Come alive listening to great live music at Shunk Gulley. Restaurants and local eateries abound in Gulf Place. Enjoy one-of-a-kind eclectic artist galleries and shops. Get your Growler filled at Growler Garage 30A, while the kids have a blast at the local arcade or enjoy Pecan Jack's incredible candy/handmade chocolate & ice cream shop. All of the shops and restaurants are just steps away, with fun for the whole family. No golf cart or car is required to explore any of it! (But we do have room for a golf cart should you rent one, and an easy-access charging outlet on our front porch.)

Your Bright Sunshiny Day in Gulf Place on 30A will begin as soon as you pull into this charming neighborhood and up to this welcoming house! Your home away from home has space for multiple families to enjoy for long periods, with entertainment for everyone. This home is geared toward family fun! Plenty of kids' toys and activities, two TVs in the kids' room with an extensive kids' Blue Ray/DVD library with Blue Ray player in the kids' bedroom and the living room, as well as books and family games--from Giant Jenga and regulation Cornhole to Nerf guns and Laser Tag, to board games, playing cards, puzzles, and chess--will bring everyone together to make hilariously wonderful, close and lasting memories.

Bright Sunshiny Day is just moments from some of the best restaurants on Scenic Hwy 30A, but when you and your guests want to stay in, you'll have a gorgeous remodeled kitchen in which to prepare meals. The large kitchen features granite countertops and stainless appliances and is fully equipped with all of the pots, pans, Sabatier knives, bakeware, cutting boards, and dishes you could need, as well as an InstaPot, cookbooks, crockpot, stock/shrimp pot, and a spice cupboard, to truly enjoy cooking and sharing a meal with family and friends.

The first floor enjoys 2 adult bedroom suites -- each with comfortable, large beds, including one gorgeously plush king bed and one BeautyRest PressureSmart queen bed, each with an adjustable base. Both bedrooms have en suite baths, ceiling fans, beadboard walls & vanities w/engineered stone countertops. Each bedroom also has a streaming TV. One first-floor bathroom has a full bathtub, and the other has a walk-in shower. All bathrooms are equipped with hairdryers and we supply linens and towels--no need to bring anything from home but your toiletries! The first floor also includes a laundry room with a Samsung washer/dryer, ironing board and iron, so you never have to worry about running out of clothes.

Upstairs you'll find a spacious, open-concept living area with a kitchen, dining room, breakfast bar, living room, and oversized outdoor deck overlooking the gorgeous main beach at Gulf Place. The living room sports a 55" Roku smart streaming TV, and a hi-speed wireless internet cable modem/router for wifi service throughout the house, as well as a DVD collection suitable for the entire family which even includes Baby Einstein and Bob the Builder collection for the little ones. There are plenty of games and a large dining room table perfect for family game nights. The breakfast bar provides extra seating for your family meals to dining seating to accommodate 12 people, and the living room is large enough to include 2 ceiling fans. The kitchen comes fully equipped with practically every conceivable cooking utensil. The home's coffee bar has both a Keurig and a standard brew coffee pot.

The large wrap-around porch off the living room provides a perfect location for keeping an eye on the kids in the private pool while relaxing in the gulf breeze, viewing and hearing the beach and Gulf from the deck, and has a propane BBQ grill and a Pit Barrel Smoker! The second-floor oversized deck also has a fire table perfect for making s'mores in the cooler months.

A second master suite is located on the second floor and includes a king-size bed with a BeautyRest PressureSmart plush mattress with an adjustable base, and an en suite, newly renovated bathroom with double sinks, granite counters, full bathtub with shower, and private balcony.

The recently remodeled top-floor tower room is an ideal kids' retreat with 2 sets of bunk beds (with a double bed on both the top and bottom of each bunk) and a twin day bed with a small pull-out twin trundle, a TV/gaming station with seating, two tvs--a streaming TV and a separate gaming TV with Blu-Ray player. Kids tower sleeps up to 6 kids (or 5 kids and 1 adult), and has its own half bathroom.

There are beach and pool toys, board games, paperbacks, and an extensive collection of movies at the house to make a fun family night every night!

We spoil our guests by using an exceptional cleaning service that doesn't make you do the work before leaving. We believe you should NOT have to spend your last day of vacation cleaning, vacuuming, and doing laundry! Our cleaning service handles all of the bed stripping, washing, and making of beds, and other cleaning so that you barely have to do anything before you check out. We want you to leave more relaxed than when you arrived!

We also try to be accommodating as possible with all early check-in and check-out requests made in advance, and let us know if you need to make multiple payments to book. We are happy to help make this process as easy as possible for you. We do not charge extra for early check-in, when available.

The pool can be heated during the cooler times of the year as well. Please just let us know if you want to opt in to ensure the pool is at 88 degrees for your stay. Heating the pool during the coldest months runs an additional $35 per day, or an additional $25 per day in spring/fall, plus local & state tax of 12%. This fee can be handled separately from booking. Please just let us know at least 10 days in advance of your stay if you decide you would like to heat the pool.

Amazing accommodations!
Steve and Gigi's home is the perfect spot for a family vacation! We traveled with two five adults and two children and the space worked great for us. The location of the house is within walking distance to several stores and restaurants as well as the boardwalk down to the beach. The home is stocked with everything you need to cook meals and is very kid friendly (books, nerf guns, toys, baby gates, etc.) You also can't beat the chair service down at the beach -- they set up and break down for you every day! We will definitely try to make it back to this home in the future!

Third year at this property
A location where you can get to the private beach easily. Near restaurants, ice cream, shops. Less traffic than the Destin high rise condo area. In a gated neighborhood. We have 10 in our family, my wife and I have 2 children and their spouses and 4 grandchildren. This is our third year and we have booked it again for next year. No complaints, it checks all the boxes.

Beautiful Home and Beach Location
Our family had the most enjoyable week at Bright Sunshiny Day! The home was perfect for our family. It was in a private gated community with three very nice bedrooms for the adults and a large third floor area with several beds and a game room for all of the kids. The home had a well-stocked kitchen along with a huge variety of beach and pool toys. We especially enjoyed the large deck and the pool to hang out together to begin and end each day. The private white sand beach was just steps away!!! We so appreciated the convenience of having beach attendants who set up our umbrellas and chairs for our family each and every day just as promised. We just needed our beach towels, sunscreen, and cold drinks. Another huge bonus was all the amazing restaurants and shopping that were within easy walking distance. We throughly enjoyed our stay! Thank you Gigi and Steve for sharing your lovely home with our family.

Wonderful stay
Nicely kept property just steps away from a private beach. The house was well stocked with supplies (kitchen supplies, towels, toilet paper, paper towels, and trash bags). We especially enjoyed the included daily setup of beach umbrellas and chairs. Very walkable neighborhood. Lots of shops and restaurants nearby. Owners were easy to get in touch with. Seamless check in and minimal required of you upon checkout.

Great for families
Great and convenient location and comes with everything you need for a family beach vacation. This is the most convenient beach access we’ve had, you can see the beach access from the house. It’s a short walk in that you can run back and forth to the house to get stuff. The board walk is not that long and the stairs aren’t bad at all. It was so nice that it comes with chair and umbrella setup included, so no need to carry that to the beach, and they set us up right near the boardwalk. It is a private beach and was not crowded at all which was so nice, so everyone got a front row seat to the shoreline. If you look over to the public beach which is right next to it, it looked very crowded. The house comes with all the beach gear you need, chairs, beach towels sand toys, boogie boards, wagon, cooler, etc…so it was nice not having to pack that! We used the wagon when going to other beaches. It’s also right across street from shops and restaurants which is really nice. The kitchen had everything you need to cook, we liked that it had an air fryer. It was good to have the pool (we paid to have heated which felt great) as an alternative to the beach, especially because three ocean water temperature was a little cold and too big of waves for the younger kids. The pool is not huge but it’s good enough size. We had only one issue when the pool was not heating, and they fixed it the next morning. The hosts have great communication!

Winter at 30A
We had a great stay! We paid extra to have the pool heated (which was awesome) but we were a bit disappointed that there was no lighting at the pool--it gets dark around 4:45pm in the winter and just wasn't safe for our kids to swim without lighting (there was none inside the pool or on the deck). They are on 9,7,6 & 4. Other than that the house was well stocked and Steve and Gigi were excellent with logistics and responsiveness!

The Beach cottage was perfect for our family beach trip! We stayed here with my parents, my family of 5, and my sister's family of 4. It was plenty big enough for us all. There are so many good things I could say about it! We loved how close it was to the beach, coffee, icecream, and stores! Having access to beach chairs and umbrellas was an added convenience. We also appreciate the little things offered like hangers, laundry detergent, toilet paper, trash bags, etc. Gigi was so easy to communicate with and very friendly. We hope to visit again in the future!

Best 30A stay yet!
This was our 3rd trip to 30A. Every year prior has been wonderful based on the area and the beach. For the first time we can say it was wonderful based on the area AND the house and owners. Gigi and Steve are amazing people. Checked in with us numerous times to see how things were going. The house is simply awesome. Plenty of room for the 6 of us to spread out easily. So close to the beach! Cleanest house we’ve rented! And having all the beach towels, beach toys, and having an umbrella and two chair setup included?! Can’t beat that! We are already planning on booking again next year! Thank you guys for an amazing family vacation!

Perfect location
Gigi and Steve were very gracious hosts, the check in process was simple and I felt very informed before we arrived from the welcome packet they had sent. The house was in such a great location to enjoy the private beach while still being walking distance to food and shopping. The security on the beach made me feel at ease. With the public access right next door I was concerned but the security was on top of making sure you were supposed to be there. It was without a doubt our easier beach trip with kids we have ever taken. Not having to pack beach towels, boogie boards and sand toys made for a much simpler trip! Thank you Gigi and Steve!

Just perfect (and so clean)!!!
Nine of us stayed for a week to celebrate my mom’s retirement. Ages ranged from 5 and up. The four cousins shared the top floor “kid room” and had a ball!! Each kid had their own double bed and the half bath on-suite was a bonus!! The adults loved having a common space big enough to accommodate everyone and also our own retreat with an on-suite bathroom. The pool was perfect for us and a great alternative to the beach. The beach was amazing and we loved having access to the towels and chairs. The house was very clean—a must in my book! Gigi and Steve were super responsive and made things so easy. The location was great as well. We all thoroughly enjoyed our vacation!!

About the host

Host profile image
This is more than just a vacation rental for us--we treat it as our home away from our home in Tallahassee, Florida. We love to be able to share our happy place with others, and know you will love it just as much as we do!

Why they chose this property

This home is everything a home away from home should be. It has all of the amenities you could want, whether you are an adult or a kid, with just the right amount of comfort and style a beach home should have. Our goal is for you to feel like it is your home, even if just for a short while, where you can make lasting, warm memories, while having the night's sleep of your life! Your kids will be able to walk or ride to some of the most beautiful beaches in the world, swim in the private heated pool, and explore the charming and lively Gulf Place Town Center that begins practically in your back yard.

What makes this property unique

This home has an amazing floor plan for entertaining and for multiple families with kids! The entire second floor--the place you will spend most of your time--has extra square footage to ensure a group of up to 12 will have plenty of space and seating to never feel crowded, while being able to spend quality time together. That is, after all, the whole point of a family beach vacation! Our home strives to ensure there is plenty for kids and adults alike to do, not just through screen time, but with a host of toys and activities that will be fun for the whole family, and fill inside and outside the house with fun and laughter!
