Vacation Getaway
Our family enjoyed our vacation stay at this piece of paradise. Close to the beach with views from the master suite. The backyard and pool area offered more than enough space for our family. The home was supplied with all the amenities necessary for our stay. Beautiful inside and out! Thank you so much.

Wonderful Home, Property & Location
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.

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.

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.

All we needed!
We ended up enjoying the home as much as the beach itself. There was a riptide situation and seaweed washing up so with young swimmers we were nervous about staying at the beach and allowing them to play in the ocean even supervised. With the house we were able to relax and the kids could practice swimming until the flag was not red. We also brought our dog and was able to have her with us. We used every room with two kids, parents and daughter. It was all we needed!

This house was perfect for our family of five and large pup! It was so spacious and comfortable. Super clean, well stocked and beautiful. Our kids are all in agreement that this was their favorite beach rental we have stayed in, and they are probably at 20+ beach trips! Great communication! We would be thrilled to come back!

Exceeded our expectations!
Our family could not have choose a better property to enjoy our 4 week vacation! The weather totally threw us under the bus the entire stay! However the house rescued us and provided every comfort we could have ever asked for! We made some of the best memories ever, the house was everything we could ever ask for! The living room fireplace was a huge hit as well as the hot tub! Kitchen was big and spacious! We enjoyed many hours of playing volleyball in the heated pool! Our pets absolutely hated leaving the large yard. See you next year Gulf Pearl!

Family Time!!
This was the first trip to the beach that we didn’t go to the beach. We enjoyed the pool and just relaxing around the pool. We even stayed at the house and cooked, completely different for us. The house had everything you needed and more. I didn’t need the sound of the ocean because we had the sound of the BEAUTIFUL Koi Pond. The owners are kind and wanted to make sure we were comfortable and had what we needed. Again one of the most relaxing family time we have had in Florida and we have been going for many years. Thank you Pat and Jon for letting us rent your beautiful house for the week. We all enjoyed it. Debbie

Lovely Week
We had a wonderful time at this house. We came with family and brought our dogs. The dogs loved running around chasing lizards in the large fenced in yard. When we had trouble with the Keurig (probably pilot error) and I reached out to Pat for some guidance, she very kindly brought over a new one though there was still a coffee pot and another Keurig for us to use. She was vey kind and super responsive. We would definitely consider staying at this house if we are in the area again.

Great place with a wonderful owner
We really liked the place and the owner was very helpful. Really well stocked kitchen (they even had olive oil, salt/pepper). We ended up renting a golf cart which was easier. It is only 0.6 to the beach but it was >90 degrees every day. Only downside was further to other restaurants etc but we were happy.

The property exceeded our expectations. The additional amenities (home furnishings, beach accessories) and bikes were great. The property is off 30A but is on a dead end street, which provided a tremendous amount of privacy. Beach access is close and and easy walk. We had six adults, two teenagers and a nine year old and everyone had a great time. I recommend.

Santa Rosa 30A
Before our arrival Pat ensured that we knew how the check-in process worked. We enjoyed our family vacation at the Santa Rosa Beach during June 17-24, 2023. The house layout enabled each of our adult children and their family to have separate floors and private bathrooms. The walk to the beach is very easy. Our family enjoyed the backyard pool and the heated hot tub! Pat is a very gracious host and ensured all needs were meet and would highly recommend booking this house!

Home away from home
Pat was amazing to work with. We communicated prior to the arrival and was able to check in early. She was able to answer any and all questions from the beginning to end of the stay. There was a minor problem with one of the shower doors and she came and fixed it which was very impressive. The house is equipped with pretty much any and everything you could possibly need for a week. I would definitely recommend this house and may even make it back some day. My party of 10 had a wonderful time, it was nice having a big house like this because there was plenty of room for everyone to spread out.

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.
