This dramatic 4 story over 3000 sq ft beauty has wrap around balconies on two floors with gulf and dune lake views! Nestled in a private residential street, the front entrance puts you in the vacation mode right away with a serene koi pond and water feature! The back yard oasis is very large and private. It is fully fenced and has a great entertaining space by the heated pool/spa. We offer a convenient outdoor shower, deck lounge chairs, large eating space, a gas grill, an outdoor large screen television and a bose blue tooth speaker. The house has 4 bedrooms (2 master suites), 3 bathrooms & 2 half baths (with one by the pool). It also has a large open concept stocked kitchen.

Want more activity - bike on the 18 mile trail along the gulf, in the Topsail Park and Preserve, and along the dune lakes, or play the many golf courses nearby! Just want solitude -watch the waves or sunset from the balconies! Want more - the outlet mall, restaurants and local shops are minutes away! We are on the quiet end of 30A with private access to that perfect white beach and clear gulf, yet action and all you may need is nearby! You can make it yours!

Great Family Reunion Home
We stayed with our family of 10 and were very comfortable! It was beautifully decorated and gVe us plenty of room. Be aware that you will get lots of steps in because it is 4 floors! The pool area was our favorite area and the grandkids hardly left the pool. We loved grilling and socializing around the pool as well. The nearby beach was stunning and N easy 15 minute walk. The owners were very easy to communicate with and very gracious

Great quiet family get away
This property was so cute and just what our family needed to close out a very busy year! The bedrooms and living spaces were spacious and comfortable. The outdoor space was great for our family who wanted to enjoy the beautiful Florida weather and watch the NFL and college bowl games . The owners were very accommodating and very quick to respond to answer questions and gave us some great recommendations for local dining spots.

We loved our stay at Gulf Pearl! Home was beautiful, comfortable and well stocked for guests. Views of the lake and the Gulf of Mexico were out the back door. We saw bald eagles nesting in the trees while we enjoyed the hot tub, they would dip down in the lake and catch a fish and bring it up in the tree to enjoy. The hosts are very quick to respond to communications. We definitely recommend!!

Excellent location - access to private beach
The private beach access was fantastic - not crowded at all and pristine white sand with gorgeous turquoise water. Host was fantastic to communicate with and house was exactly as pictured! We walked to the beach or parked in a nearby spot along the road. This area of 30A seems like the least crowded which we loved.

Perfect Family Vacation
This home was perfect for our family. The living area was open and spacious and the bedrooms were plenty spacious and comfortable. We cooked several meals and had everything we needed to prepare them. Our favorite thing was the backyard area with swimming pool. Plenty of chairs for lounging, great pool and deck as well as a yard that our dogs could use to run and play. Owners were very responsive and available for all of our questions.

Our family had a fabulous week at this home in Santa Rosa. The home is beautifully decorated, lots of space, well equipped kitchen, stock with the essentials, balconies on every floor with views of the pool, koi pond, lake behind the home or the beach in the distance. The lower level has a nice size pool, covered porch and sun porch as well as a fenced in grass area. Beach access is right up the street as well as a walking/bike path. Right off 30a there are several restaurants. Destin is 30 mins away. The home sits on a nice quite street.Perfect family getaway. We will definitely be back.

About the host

Hosted by Pat & Jon Huenemann

Host profile image
We fell in love with the 30 A area in 2012 and moved here full time.

Why they chose this property

If you want to be south of 30A and stay in a home that is luxurious with ocean views, this is the home for you! At the end of the street is the 18 mile bike trail that lines the gulf called 30A. The house has a beautiful heated pool/spa and everything you need for an amazing vacation. This is our personal home and we put all the special touches in that you will love. The Koi pond with goldfish and a catfish that you cross when you enter the home is a special treat. We are leaving bikes for free.

What makes this property unique

On the quiet side of 30 A you have easy access to a Walmart, the outlet mall, and Destin. You are close to Gulf Place and barbecue restaurant which is a walk away. Gulf place is a mile away for more restaurants and fun.
