This 5-bedroom, 5-bathroom house truly has all you need for the perfect beach vacation, including a private pool, screened porch, complimentary bikes, private parking, an outdoor shower, and to top it all off, it's located only steps from sugar-white sand! 157 Savelle Drive is surrounded by state park-protected land, meaning it provides the highest level of privacy and seclusion. This home was recently remodeled in 2021 to reflect a stunning coastal feel with brand new appliances, countertops, and furniture. The first floor of the home begins with an entry that leads to a laundry room with a full-size washer and dryer and a bunk room with 2 twin-over-full bunk beds. The bunk room shares a full bathroom with the hallway, which has a shower/tub combination.

The second level of the home encompasses the living and kitchen area, which opens up directly to the screened-in porch. The kitchen features sparkling white quartz countertops and stainless-steel appliances. There is room for 10 people to eat comfortably at both the kitchen's bar and dining table. The living room also features 2 cozy sofas and chairs around the flat-screen TV. The remaining bedrooms can also be found on this floor, beginning with the primary suite, which has a king bed and private bathroom. The next room has a queen bed and private bathroom, while the neighboring room has a king bed and private bathroom. The final guest room features 2 full-size beds with a private bathroom.

After a day of fun in the sun, guests will love lounging on the home's spacious screened-in porch, relishing in the beautiful Florida evenings. When you aren't hanging out at the pool or the beach, be sure to explore the surrounding 30A area, which provides wonderful shopping and dining venues that are just a short drive away.

Outstanding property.
We love golf trace and they stay there for more than 20 years. This house allowed every family member to have their own bedroom and bath, which was great. We will plan to stay there again.

Great house in quiet community
We had three families and 6 teenage boys visiting for spring break. It was the perfect spot! The boys could bike (3 miles to Seaside) to the craziness and the parents could relax on a quiet, private beach. The home is in great condition and very well appointed. The boys loved the outdoor space that included a nice ping pong table, basketball hoop, and pool. We had the pool heated because the weather was still cool, and it was totally worth it. Also, love the location. It was about a 10-minute walk on the beach to Red Bar. Easy bike rides to shops/restaurants at Grayton Beach or Blue Mountain. Never have to get stuck in the traffic around Seaside if you don't choose to. Recommend this house for just about any occasion.

Family vacation
The house was clean and beautiful. The kitchen was well equipped. We enjoyed our stay and love Gulf Trace. The only thing to be aware of if you have any short people or older people in your group, the beds in the house are very high. There was only one bed in the house that I could get in.

Awesome location and home
We've been waiting to stay in Gulf Trace for a while and get out of the noise from Santa Rosa and Gulf Place. The location was awesome, no fighting or rushing to the beach to get a spot, etc. house was wonderful and great to have the 3 teenage boys downstairs:-) Gave 3 stars on comms which is specific to VRBO where we booked. Never received a response to any questions. Responses only came once we went straight to 360Blue. Only enhancement that would have been nice would have been the option to heat the pool. Thanks!

Everything was perfect except for the pool. Alga was heavy in the pool first 3 days, so we were not able to use. Came and added chemicals and by Wednesday afternoon were able to use.

Beautiful Home With Great Location
This home was beautifully re-decorated with everything you would need for a large gathering! The living area was perfection! Everyone had their own bathroom and private space with their bedrooms. The house was nicely situated among trees which helped to keep the house and the screened in porch cool. The porch also had a table big enough for 10! The house is also only an easy 3 minute walk to the beach. It is perfect! A couple of VERY MINOR areas of opportunity. In July of '21 the property directly next door and across the street were building new houses. Power tools began at 7:30am and went all day long. We weren't made aware of this. Not a huge deal, but if you have little ones, be prepared. This property is managed by a company, if you have a question about it, don't send a message via VRBO, they just reply with a general message. The house sleeps 14, but they only had 10 forks, the management company quickly brought us more forks when we called. I would definitely rent this home again!

Great Family Place
The property was as described and pictured. And my family had a great time - there were 10 in our party. The pool is fairly small - but met our needs. Bedrooms were comfortable. Linens were provided and plentiful. The biggest issue we had all week was the ice maker. It was very slow. So we simply bought ice to use.

Just finished a great family vacation. The house was perfect for my family. With 6 young kids we ate in most nights. My only complaint is with the kitchen utensils. We only had 14 forks so we were constantly washing silverware. There was no colander to drain pasta. No pot holders. Ice maker was very slow. Other than kitchen issues our stay was very enjoyable. Thank you.

This home was awsome! Fun pool, huge screened porch, great area to grill and play ping pong. Walk to beach was no problem. Invest in a beach wagon and take it all down at once. Kids and adults enjoyed bikes. Our group of 14 were so happy with everything.

We absolutely loved our stay at Fair Dinkum! The area is just what we wanted-quiet neighborhood with convenience to the beach! Our photo was taken at Grayton Beach Park which is minutes away! The home was clean and well maintained! We loved the decor! The bedrooms had nice beds and bedding! The 4 grandkids loved having the bunk room! The pool was just right for the kids! The adults enjoyed playing ping pong while we grilled. The screened-in porch was so nice too! We enjoyed the privacy this home provided. Having the bikes was great and the kids really enjoyed riding around the neighborhood especially when they got to see the deer! This home is convenient to both Destin and Panama City! We could not asked for a better vacation!!! We would recommend this home to anyone! We had 8 adults and 5 children and we had plenty of room!
