Come and experience everything Santa Rosa Beach has to offer at this exquisite, two-level brand new home! Offering a large living space with pristine white walls and elegant decor throughout, Shore Thing will be simply unforgettable and unbeatable. The open floor plan allows guests to spread out easily and having bedrooms on each floor adds a much-needed touch of privacy during your stay. There are two king suites, one on the main level and the other one on the second level. The living room is a great place to unwind indoors and features a large TV, two sofas and two armchairs strategically placed near the TV, and a ceiling fan to keep things cool.

The dining area is right by the living room featuring an elegant wooden dining table, perfect for family meals. However, if you're in a rush to go out and enjoy the beach, the kitchen island is ideal for quick snacks and meals on the go. Speaking of the kitchen, it's been beautifully appointed with modern, stainless steel appliances to make cooking a breeze. The French door fridge will keep your groceries and goodies nice and fresh, while the dishwasher will take care of your dishes after lunch. Additionally, it features a convenient wine fridge! Speaking of convenience, this charming beach abode also features a private washer/dryer combo.

Outside, the enclosed yard will be the ultimate gathering spot with an outdoor shower to rinse off the sand, a private heated swimming pool, four chaise lounges, an outdoor dining area, a new Weber grill, an outdoor fridge, and a 55” TV by the pool, perfect for football games by the pool. Swimming at the end of the day will surely relax your sore muscles! Midday barbecues will be a thing thanks to all the outdoor equipment you'll find at Shore Thing–don't hesitate to show your grilling skills and surprise your family and friends with delicious grilled steaks, veggies, or burgers. For a more quiet and relaxing time, you'll find two outdoor porches on each floor.

This two-story home offers guests a prime and unbeatable location on Hwy 393 off scenic 30A in Gulf Place. You'll be sitting just half a mile from the public beach, restaurants, and shops! The location is so convenient and you won't find anything like this. Some incredible restaurants you can find nearby are The Perfect Pig, Pizza by the Sea, Sunrise Coffee Co. South of Philly, Vue on 30a, Goatfeather seafood, and Growler Garage Pub. If you'd like to also enjoy great Gulf views and live music, Shunk Gulley Oyster Bar is the place for you! Near the home is the Topsail Hill Preserve State Park offering a plethora of fun outdoor activities for the whole family such as bicycling, birding, camping and glamping, fishing, hiking, paddling, and more!

Beautiful house!
Absolutely the perfect house just up the street from beautiful beaches, and yummy restaurants. House is gorgeous, honestly one of the nicest we have stayed in. Very well equipped kitchen, and laundry room. Would recommend to anyone looking to stay in Santa Rosa.

Absolutely exceeded our expectations. From cleanliness, comfort, easy access to all the surrounding stores, restaurants this was perfect for our crew. When we had questions there were prompt responses. We plan on rebooking next year if available!

Oasis
My family and I have always vacationed in populated areas which makes it congested . We decided to try “Shore Thing” and found this little oasis a nice hideaway from all the hustle and bustle . Great place and perfectly maintained.

Spring Break 2024
We were two families with four young children staying over spring break. House was so nice, very clean! Perfect for our group! The maintenance tech we interacted with was so kind and professional. Guest service leading up to the trip was very generic, everyone I spoke with was not local to the area. This was unhelpful when trying to plan ahead and navigate the area. We also had to call in three work orders, took a day or two to get a response from the ‘local team’.

Beautiful Home!
This vacation home is absolutely perfect! We have stayed in lots of places and this house was by far the nicest. Close to the beach for spending the day, and the heated pool was so nice at night. Fully stocked kitchen and so CLEAN. We loved it!!!

SANTA ROSA BEACH
Excellent house with everything you could wish for a wonderful vacation. No shortages of utensils and were more than enough for the family of 8 who stayed there One criticism, not with the house or the owners/letting agent! Why do previous tenants leave the outdoor grill in such a mess??? It took me less than 20 minutes to clean it off before we used it, so it can only be down to bone idleness!! Total lack of respect from previous tenants!! Needless to say, it was left clean and ready to grill before we left.

Absolutely Wonderful
We just loved our stay at Shore Thing!!!! It is a beautiful house and has everything you might want or need! We especially loved the private pool right in the backyard—and Mama loved the washer and dryer being right in the house! The home has a perfect open floor plan ,is large enough for everyone to be together or to have their own private space, and is gorgeous inside and out. It is close to the beach, the heart of Santa Rosa Beach, and some adorable shops and delicious food. From check-in to check-out, our entire experience was phenomenal. We will most definitely be back to Shore Thing!!

BEAUTIFUL HOUSE
We were very happy and extremely pleased with our accommodations at this home. The amenities were all there, the bedrooms and bathrooms were absolutely gorgeous and comfy. Definitely enough seating and room in the kitchen/common area to be with your family and friends at one time. Close to our favorite restaurants and shopping. Close walking distance to the beach and ABSOLUTELY LOVED having our own private pool ❤️❤️❤️ I would highly recommend and stay here again. The property owners kept checking in to make sure we were happy.

9/10
All in all, the house itself is amazing, perfect for a group and the location is ideal. If you're traveling with kids, there are just a few things to keep in mind and consider bringing with! There is no security from the pool (I.e door alarms, baby gates, etc) which is a must for us so we picked up a few baby gates during our stay. There are also no extra linens- so if you're bringing an air mattress for a child or have a pop up crib, you'll need to bring your own linens. Extra linens would have also been nice for chilly nights when the thin provided blankets just didn't suffice. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay, so these are just very minor details and we would encourage staying at shore thing!

Just ok
We were in town for a family Christmas and chose the home because of the proximity to a family members home. The house was nice, beds comfortable. The 2 bedrooms facing 331 had significant road noise that bothered us at night. The house was fine for what we need it for and clean. My only suggestion is to be clear on what is provided for you, they are very specific such as 2 rolls of TP per bathroom. It ended up being fine for our 3 night stay but I could see it being an issue for longer. The ice maker on the fridge did not work, I emailed and got what seemed to be an automated response that they would notify maintenance (pretty much knew at that point that nothing would be done). There was no instructions for the password for wifi. Probably wouldn’t choose for a week long vacation.

Great Vacation House!
The house was everything we needed and wanted for our families! Just a few minutes to drive to the beach and the pool in the back yard was amazing. *They DO have a pack n play if it is needed. We asked if they did but they said they did not.

Great location and pool/ outdoor area
The home is in a great location and is close to the beach, restaurants and shops and also just a quick drive to other 30A cities. We had a wonderful time! The home is comfortable and beautiful with an outstanding outdoor pool and space that we took full advantage of during our stay. It is nitpicking, but the only feedback to offer that would have made our stay just a smidgen more perfect: -Bikes or golf carts included (we rented bikes on our own) -A few more bath towels to minimize the need to launder those often too (we had a 10 day stay). -Instructions for each TV and which remotes do what for each TV. -The kitchen wine refrigerator would not chill below 50 degrees. -Leave info about the trash service (we thought we needed to take the cans out to the street but were not sure on which day). We called and found out someone handles that. -Leave info on the pool service (we didn't know someone came to clean the pool on Fridays until we called) Thank you for a wonderful stay!

Excellent Stay!
Shore Thing was awesome! We were a group with 6 adults and 2 kids. (4 and 1 year olds) The house was spacious, allowing everyone to have privacy, but intimate enough to allow us to enjoy time together. The pool area was perfect, and the location was prime!

Shore Thing is a Sure Thing!
This beach house is stunning! It's a super quick (5 mins) commute to multiple beaches and the Santa Rosa Beach hot spots. I was impressed by the interior design, spacious rooms, balconies and it's stocked with every cooking utensil you could possibly imagine. I loved that we had ample parking. The pool is gorgeous with beautiful lighting and option to be heated. Also, there is a great sound system in the pool area.
