Designed with family fun in mind, there's something for everyone here. If you are looking to put your toes in the sugar white sand beaches and emerald water, you are a 10 min walk to Ed Walline Public Beach Access which is equipped with parking, bathrooms, outdoor showers, picnic tables, grills and is ADA accessible. Across from the beach access is Gulf Place which offers restaurants like Shunk Gulley with stunning gulf views, shopping, bike rentals and live entertainment. If the pool is more your speed, we are just a few houses away from the community pool which is never crowded because it is only available to the small number of homes on our street. From Gulf Place you have access to the 19 mile paved bike path that parallels the entire length of 30A passing through all the famous beach communities (Dune Allen Beach, Grayton Beach, Seacrest Beach, Seaside, Alys Beach, Rosemary Beach).
For shoppers, the Grand Boulevard shops and Silver Sands Premium outlet mall have anything you may want, and there are numerous golf courses nearby and several tennis facilities all within a 15 minute drive.
Note: Parking for 3 cars. No student rentals. Street legal golf carts are allowed on 30A.
Guests pets are not allowed and smoking is not permitted in our home.
Grocery stores are less than a 10-minute drive and Publix now has online ordering and delivery to our area allowing you more time to relax and enjoy your vacation.

My family had a great time and the house is really nice. The bedrooms are all spacious and nicely decorated. If I had to add one thing the bathrooms could use more washcloths. Other than that we enjoed our stay and would rent again.

Angela was so accommodating. She was quick to answer any questions we had made our stay even better. The house was beautiful and very clean when we arrived. Very well equipped with anything you could need. Our family loved having the king beds in three bedrooms with on suites in each room. Definitely a beautiful home for a family to vacation in. Close to beach, restaurants and shopping.

We loved staying here. The property is in a great location. An easy walk to the beach, restaurants and shops. Not in a really busy, touristy area so it was perfect for what we wanted. Hosts were really nice and accommodating. They immediately took care of anything we needed.
We had a wonderful stay at Angela's home. The accommodations met all of our needs and Angela was very quick to reply with answers to our questions. The house is in a great location, very clean and comfortable. If we ever return to Santa Rosa, we would definitely stay again.

Beautiful home a short walk from the beach. The house is even better than the pictures, gorgeous while still making you feel at home. Close to the beach and great restaurants. I would recommend this to anyone!
Great layout for families. Huge and clean bathrooms and bedrooms. Great kitchen and living room. Loved the large sofa so everyone can be comfortable. Would definitely rent the home again!

Thank you! So glad you enjoyed your stay and I welcome you back anytime!
We had a wonderful stay with our family of 6 adults and one child. The home was spacious, very clean, and very comfortable, with plenty of room for everyone to relax without feeling crowded. There were more than enough towels for beach/pool use and we loved that there were some beach toys for the little one to enjoy!The walk to the beach was easy, about 10 minutes, and the neighborhood was welcoming and safe. We’d recommend renting beach chairs and bringing along your favorite games for evenings or a rainy indoor day.All in all, a fantastic rental for a laid-back, family-friendly beach vacation. We'd absolutely stay here again!

Our family vacation at The Blue Heron was just what we needed.
Angela is a wonderful host and her home was clean and well stocked. The neighborhood is quiet and it is an easy walk to beach and coffee shop. Each bedroom having its own bathroom is a huge plus! Would vacation here again!

It was a beautiful home located conveniently to everything. Even the bad weather did not dampen our stay. The kids were still able to get out and enjoy a bike ride and the adults were able to get out and enjoy leisurely walks! Would highly recommend this location! Will definitely be back!
This place was perfect. Host was AMAZING. Well decorated and tidy. Blocks from shops coffee restaurants and beach. Quiet neighborhood. Great internet. Loved it

Can not say enough good things about The Blue Heron! Adorable house, perfect location, and great little town. All king size beds were great for the adults and our three year old loved the bunk room. The bikes and extra beach towels were nice to have. Cooking was easy as they have all the essentials you need. We will definitely be coming back again!!

Thank you Jessica! I am glad you guys enjoyed the house and the area. Congrats on the half marathon!! We welcome you and your family back anytime.
We had a family wedding and this listing was perfect location for not only the venue but to everything. I would highly recommended this rental . Very clean, spacious and we lacked for nothing but the steaks we grilled. Very comfortable house for three adult couples and kids. The 3 master bedrooms were perfect for our group. We definitely plan on staying here again in late summer.
This place was great. Looks brand new. There was plenty of everything from towels to pots and pans to trash bags. They had everything- beach towels, bikes, boogie boards, etc. The house itself was awesome. Bigger than it looks on TV. All my family thanked me for picking a great place. You will love it!!

Thank you! I hope to welcome you to our home again soon.
The property was great and was a perfect fit for all 9 of us, including 3 kids who loved the bunk bedroom. I thought the house was even better in person than through the photos. It had a great space and met all of our needs. It's a very short walk to 30A, and close by a lot of local places, and the beach. We had a great time and would stay there again. Angela was great through the whole process and answered a few questions about the area prior to us arriving, and provided some great recommendations.

Home was stocked with everything that you need for your beach vacation. It was beautifully decorated with space for everyone! It came with 4 bikes but, we choose to rent a golf cart to get around. We also used the neighborhood pool. I would give this home 10 stars!!

The house was gorgeous!! The location was great for us. Check in process was super easy and Angela was also available if we needed anything. There were 4 adults and 2 children (10 and 2) and we had plenty of space. They supplied beach chairs, towels, umbrella, and toys and that was amazing!!! We were so thankful for that. We also enjoyed riding the bikes that were supplied. We will definitely be back!!!

About the host
Hosted by Angela Rhoton
We love travel and spent 3 years living on a sailboat. We’ve moved back to land, but we missed the water and beach so we decided to buy a home within an easy driving distance from our home in GA. In 2023, we moved to Santa Rosa Beach and use this home to host family and friends when it’s not being rented so please treat it as you would your own and please enjoy it as much as we do.
Why they chose this property
We loved the location (proximity to 30A, the beach, restaurants, shopping), modern coastal style, quiet secluded neighborhood.
What makes this property unique
2 porches and secluded back patio to relax, short walk to beach, community pool on street, space for family to spread out, privacy with all en-suite bathrooms.
Premier Host
They consistently provide great experiences for their guests
