5 star vaca!
We traveled with three young children and aging parents- this truly fit all ages perfectly. The proximity of the pool and beach were fantastic, layout of the condo was extremely spacious, and we walked to breakfast, ice cream, and shopping! We wished we could have completed our stay (hurricane Helene decided to arrive!) but hope to be back soon. Christie did a fantastic job stocking the house with everything we needed and then some, and interior decor was beautiful.

Excellent Stay
Let me start by saying Christie is an AMAZING host! She’s also an excellent communicator, which made our stay easy. The location and condo were great. Felt really chill. My teen boys enjoyed it too. Shops and eateries within walking distance. Easy walk down to the beach. Pool was clean and close by. Others in the condo were cool and kind; no issues with noise. I highly recommend.

Wonderful vacation!
We enjoyed our stay at San Remo. One of the best vacations we’ve had. Being on the ground floor with children was so nice due to the amount of beach items we carried back and forth. The pool was steps away and easy for our children to go back and forth for lunch, restroom, etc. The pool was always clean and the grounds were well taken care of. The beach is one of a kind and a short walk from the pool. Christie was always available if needed and made sure we had all info before arriving. We loved San Remo and will be back!

The perfect spot!
The condo was super convenient, fully equipped with everything you need (even flashlights for crab hunting). When they say “10 steps to the pool” they are exactly right. The pool area never felt crowded, plenty of seating and plenty of personal space while you were in the pool. The beach and ocean were perfect! Beautiful blue green (clear) water and soft white sand. Restaurants, shops and ice cream are very conveniently located. We vacation 1-2 times per year up and down the gulf coast, this was the top spot for our family and will definitely return. If you are looking for a beach vacation I would highly recommend San Remo!

Perfect beach getaway
Blue Barrel was perfect in every way. The layout was great for our family of 4. The beds were so comfortable! We loved walking out the door right to the pool, beach & large hot tub or just sitting in the patio enjoying the views. The kitchen had just what we needed for meals in but we really enjoyed walking the 10 min for some great meals & live music. Our favorites were Perfect Pig, Papa Surf (backyard patio), and Red Bar (30 min bike ride). We hope to be back again one day!

October on the beach
Stayed a week at the Blue Barrel unit in San Remo. Have been to this complex several times. Can’t be best for families, especially with young children. The unit is ground level making Beach and pool access especially convenient. The unit is well equipped and has been updated. Host very accommodating. Recommend.

Perfection!
After our trip to Maui was cancelled, we booked this property for ten days. Right from the start, communication with Christie was above and beyond, and remained that way throughout our entire stay. She even had colorful leis waiting for each of us when we arrived, knowing our Hawaii trip had been cancelled... It was such a thoughtful touch and made us feel instantly welcomed and valued! It won our kids over right away. The whole condo was decorated with such attention to detail and had to be the cutest one we have ever stayed in! The kitchen had everything we needed, the beds were very comfortable, and the short walk to the beach was so convenient. Our kids loved the easy access to the pool, and the entire grounds were clean, quiet, and well maintained. The property is close to some great restaurants and stores as well. There were a few games we enjoyed playing a on several evenings, and extra beach chairs and toys were also available to use. The washer and dryer were so convenient and worked great. The fridge was spacious for all of our groceries. And the hooks everywhere were awesome — a small detail, but as a mom of kids who default to dropping towels and swimsuits on the floor, it is possibly the little detail I appreciated most! Christie’s attention to detail and thoughtfulness covered everything we could’ve wanted or needed for our stay! I really cannot say enough great things about our time here. We hope to go back as soon as possible!

Amazing Family Trip!
We had the BEST time at the Blue Barrell and was the perfect family vacation! The location, the pool, the beach access, and the host! The house was stocked with everything we needed as well as the things that we made our travel easier - beach towels, beach toys, chairs, boogie boards, pool noodles, etc. The condo was on the 1st floor, so could walk out the patio to the pool and the beach was an easy 5 minute walk which was perfect for our young kids. Not only was the house amazing, but Christie was so easy to work and communicate with! We definitely plan to stay here again on future trips to 30A!

This condo was perfect for a relaxing week at the beach. The host was very helpful and easy to communicate with. The condo is well maintained and has everything you need. The property is ideal for anyone with children since it is located just steps away from the pool. The pool is very well kept and clean. The sweet lady who manages the pool and common areas keeps everything in great condition. I would love to stay here again.

The Perfect Place!
We had the most amazing stay at the Blue Barrell! Not only is it beautifully decorated, but the location can't be beat. An easy stroll down the boardwalk and you are on the beach! The condo was very clean and had all the amenities you would need on your vacation. Christy was SO EASY to work with and quickly responsive with any questions. HIGHLY RECOMMEND! We would definitely stay there again. Oh....and the 4 beach chairs and 2 inner tubes were great bonus! The Griffins, Columbus, MS

Amazing Location With Pool, Beach & Nearby Restaurants
There are so many good things to say about this place. There are cute decor touches that make it feel homey. The kitchen is stocked really well. There's a path through the shrubs that leads directly to the pool. The boardwalk to the beach is accessible directly from the pool area. There are floaties, a few basic beach toys and four beach chairs. Really nice washer and dryer (newer than the ones in the photos). Great refrigerator with ample ice. We were able to park right outside which made unloading easy. Follow the Instagram account (SanRemo30A). Christie posts often and I found myself going there to look for recommendations when we were needing a restaurant. The room with the twin beds is small. We planned to have our 3-year-old sleep on the floor between the beds but we didn't realize that there were large openings/shelves underneath so it didn't really work. Luckily there were some toddler bed rails in the room we ended up using, but if your kid isn't used to sleeping with them it can be a little nerve wracking because the beds are pretty high. We used a lot of pillows to create a wall and got our kid up the second he woke up. There is a pack and play but no extra mattress and our kid didn't sleep comfortably on it the first night so we switched to the toddler rail. The internet also went down 2-3 times a day. It usually came back up within a few minutes of unplugging the modem and router. All in all, this was a great location and we would definitely stay here again.

Perfect location for the beach, pool, & restaurants!
Our family spent Spring Break here and loved every second of it! The unit is right next to the pool, making it very easy for families to run back to grab forgotten items, grab lunch, etc. The beach was gorgeous and the boardwalk made it easy for our kids to get to/from it without complaints! Also, walking distance from coffee, restaurants, ice cream, and local shopping. Christie was a fantastic host and made the whole communication/check-in process easy! Will definitely stay here again!

Blue Barrell - San Remo
We loved the location. Its nestled in a gated community, with its own pool, hot tub, and beach access. The pool is heated. The view is gorgeous. Its right on 30A. Traffic was rough. We went Spring Break. It was just busy time to travel. We cooked each day. Kitchen is fully stocked with supplies. We brought foil, plastic wrap and bags to use for leftovers. It also has a dishwasher! Only complaint was the bunk room, it is small. My teenage sons needed more space. (The light bulb burned out in their room.) They used the lamps when needed. But only slept in the room. My bedding was not clean. The first night, I pulled back the sheets and there was make up on the pillow cases. I stripped the bedding and washed it. Slight, hiccup. (But not the owner's issue... I think housekeeping missed it) With laundry onsite, I didn't mind, atleast I know the sheets were clean. We washed towels, too. Having laundry on-site was great! All the wash was done before we got home! After two flights, its nice to know I am not coming home to do laundry. The host was very communicative. She provided insight and quick responses. Overall, it was a relaxing stay!

About the host

Hosted by Christie Homola

Host profile image
"About us." Newly married during the pandemic, we cancelled our big 2020 wedding at the last minute and decided it would be just as fitting to get married under a large southern oak tree instead. Once married, we had no where to go for our honeymoon other than a little secret beach on a hidden highway called 30A. This was not our first trip to this coast by any means, but this was where we fell in love again and again. A few years later we have found ourselves a slice of heaven at San "Dreamo" (our nickname for San Remo). Who needs a big wedding and a honeymoon when you have a forever honeymoon. ❤
~Note from the new owners, Jaeson and Christie~

Why they chose this property

When we found this property it was love at first sight. My eyes literally welled with tears it was that perfect. Every inch of it was designed with meaning and love. I hope you love it the same way that we do.

What makes this property unique

I think our favorite thing about this property is the location. A short walk to the west will land you in the heart of Gulf Place with all of the amenities there (Shunk Gulleys, Pecan Jacks, The Perfect Pig to name a few). Goat Feathers is to the east, Local Catch, The Grove and Basmatis restaurant and Mimmos Italian. There is no end in choices for good things to eat that are within walking/biking distance.
From the beach, we have a private boardwalk that is no where near a public access; much of our beach to the east is a non-rental zone, which lends itself to optimum privacy.
In the mornings we like to walk to the east toward Draper Lake. Once there, it is absolutely magic the way the lake meets the ocean.
In the evenings, just look to the west for a fire-in-the-sky sunset like you can see no where else. It is truly something to behold.
