Great location, easy to get to beach and restaurants. We rented a golf cart and enjoyed exploring up and down 30A. The only issues I had was that there was no dish towels in the kitchen, a few dirty dishes, and no extra toilet paper.

Great visit. No complaints. We had 6 adults and we were quite comfortable. The pool was very close to the back door 2 minute walk to the pool. Once we found the private entrance to the beach - it was an easy walk down the 'hidden' pathway. Some direction around that would have been nice - but not enough to take any stars away. It was great having the shops and restaurants in walking distance. We had a great 2 week visit!

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Sherry’s townhouse. It was spacious, well equipped, clean, and overall exactly what our family needed for a vacation rental. The walk to the beach was easy, and made very convenient by the use of the beach wagon. The pool and community amenities were fantastic. Sherry was a great host, and we cannot wait for our stay at her unit again next year.

My family and I enjoyed this property so much! The beds were so comfortable and the home was very clean. The home is beautiful!! We walked every morning to a Cafe that was near by and the area around the property is so lively. The beach access was so close, just in waking distance. Sherry had beach chairs, boogie boards, and a cooler avaliable for our use when going to the beach. Overall, I would absolutely stay here again and would recommend this location to everyone!!

Everything was very clean! Location was great. Amenities were lovely. A couple of tips- The emailed instructions from the owner (for getting into the home) were totally different than the instructions sent via the VRBO app so that was a bit confusing when trying to gain access. We just tried both and the one emailed from the owner worked. A map of where to get the private beach access would have been helpful as it was not searchable on Google. No paper towels or beach towels were provided- not a big deal, just would have been nice to know ahead of time. Overall, it was a great house with plenty of room to spread out for family of 5!

so glad you had a great time. I do apologize for not having paper towels; those should have been provided, and i have addressed it with my cleaning crew.. As for beach towels I have provided those in the past; however, guests kept taking those from the home, so after 45 beach towels in one season, I decided not to leave beach towels. Hope to have you return soon...

All the comforts of home but close to the beach

This home was perfect for our family of four with two teen girls. Everyone got their own space which is key for a good vacation for us. The place was clean and just felt like home. It was a short walk to the beach that was fairly quiet even for spring break time. We would defineltly stay here again.

About the host

Hosted by Sherry Carter

Host profile image
I am a local Real Estate Broker and broker in Charlotte, N.C. I have enjoyed the 30-A experience for a number of years, the beaches and the 30-A experience is never a dull one. It is a lovely place to visit and our beaches are the most beautiful in the USA. Come stay, enjoy and we hope you will join us along 30-A for many vacations to come.

Why they chose this property

When traveling to Santa Rosa Beach to visit my sister I found Gulf Place and knew it was ideal for families and friends. Two years later I purchased the townhome and have loved traveling down for a couple of months a year and sharing with many new guest. With 3 pools, tennis courts, shops, dining and so much to do without leaving the complex makes Gulf Place your perfect destination. The beach is only steps away and you will never miss a sunset. The Outlet Mall is only 3 miles and Destin Commons (large shopping center) is only 5 miles away. You can visit Destin Harbor, rent a boat or just enjoy the shopping in Destin. 30-A is known for some of the best restaurants in the area, dining is always a treat as most places have nightly music and entertainment. There is a bike trail that extends the entire 18 miles of 30-A and you will always find bikers and walkers along the trails. 30-A is an experience and we look forward to having you experience the many aspects in our area. You will be delighted with our beach, community and relaxing atmosphere.

What makes this property unique

Private decks off two bedrooms and living area. The pool and tennis courts are only steps away. Walk down and grab a cup of coffee at the coffee shop or walk to dinner at one of the wonderful restaurants in the complex. Relax and enjoy the quiet area and peaceful sound of the beach.
