With 7 bedrooms, 5 full bathrooms, 2 half bathrooms, and space for up to 13 guests, the property offers flexible accommodations between its main house and charming carriage house.

We stayed between Christmas and New Year at this property with 11 people. Beach access was close and the beach was incredible. The house was centrally located to enjoy restaurants, shopping and other activities. The kitchen was well stocked to cook full meals in. The beds were comfortable and the space was great for a group of 11. Overall, we had an enjoyable break as an extended family. Thank you!

Love this house and its location. Main living area on first floor has no bedrooms which is great. Private pool is great and bar in kitchen comes in very handy. Some furniture could use updating and bring a can of ant/roach spray.
Overall would highly recommend this house and neighborhood.

This was great for multi family vacation. The location was perfect and having a bathroom in the garage was nice for pool access. On the days or short periods of time it rained we played games in the garage. The property could use some updating and some overhaul in general. Mold on the ceiling in the bathrooms, chairs around the pool were all broken, etc. We had to purchase potholders, can opener, etc. which was not a big deal just unexpected. Overall nice property.

Thank you for staying with us! We are pleased to hear that you are satisfied with the upkeep of the property. We hope to see you on the shore again soon
Great size house for large family but needs updating and yard needs clean up.
Upon arrival, weeds were on walkways around house and pool area. Windows in house dirty. Sofa and carpet in living room stained. Mildew in guest house but Ocean Reef came immediately to clean it. This is a great house for large family...good kitchen, dining room and bedrooms. Just needs updating and yard clean up.

The place needs some serious updating of furniture, kitchen supplies, and a new grill.
Out experience was fantastic as we were our family and loved ones. The house meet our needs but not our expectations. With the amount paid for a week stay, one would expect working appliances and enough to meet the needs of the guests. Also, when advertising sleeper sofas as a bedding option, sofas should be usable and not all broken down. We also found glass and a fish hook on the floor of a couple of bedrooms. The grill is almost unusable. Yet was advertised as having a grill. Would we stay at this house again? Most likely, because of location, the pool and the fact that it fit our family. I hope by submitting this review things will be looked at and evaluated.

Hi Darci,
Thank you for taking the time to leave a review. We are sorry to hear about the inconveniences you faced while staying with us. Please know we have forwarded this on to the appropriate departments including maintenance and housekeeping, and will also pass it along to the homeowners for resolution. We apologize again and appreciate your feedback.
Property was great overall. Several maintenance issues. Garage code never worked and there was no working remote opener. Back door (kitchen) desperately needs a keypad, since we expected to be able to park in the garage with a code and then go in. We had to hike around the pool area to the front door (in the dark) to get into the house. Then walk through, get the key from the kitchen and go out to the detached garage and get in through the side door. It was pretty inconvenient. Pool kept cooling off and upload speed for the internet is VERY poor. Don't expect to get any remote work done. The "bunkroom" has no ceiling fan, so very stuffy, but we found a tiny fan in a nearby closet to cool the kids off.
However, location is excellent and the next door neighbor was amazing. He's helpful with recommendations, ideas, general area overview, etc.
We stayed here with 3 different families.

Thank you for bringing these items to our attention. We have reported these items with our maintenance department and will have them rectified as soon as possible. Thank you again for being our guest.
This beautiful, spacious home with pool & carriage apt above the garage easily accommodated my 4 family reunion. With a short 5 minute walk to the private beach access in a secure gated community, we felt safe letting older teens walk to the beach. This area of the Santa Rosa Beach beach was more private & not crowded. We had fun playing beach volley ball, building sand castles, looking for shells, riding bikes, and shopping for souvenirs. It rained for a couple of days but the house, pool, and decks allowed for continued enjoyment and great family time together. This rental added to our best family vacation. We want to come back.

Thank you for booking with Ocean Reef! We love to hear about great experiences such as yours. Be sure to contact us when you are ready to return to the beautiful beaches.
Perfect home for our family. The only problems we had involved a broken shelf in the refrigerator and malfunctioned hot tub jets. Pros: proximity to beach access, security, proximity to restaurants and entertainment. We really enjoyed our stay and would recommend to everyone!

We had a wonderful time at Just Beachy! The house had a lot of room. Kitchen is well stocked. The house could use a little updating but overall it is a great house and in good location. It is nice that it is in a gated community, therefore , less traffic.

The house was an easy awake to the beach. The pool situation was prefect for us with a 2, 3 year
We had a three generation family annual week at the beach. The house was prefect for the 17 of us.
The kitchen was one of the best equipped kitchens we have had in Florida rentals.
Great house, great pool area, not back distance to the beach.

A week at Just Beachy
We enjoyed our stay at the property very much. It had all the amenities we required and was very conveniently located. The air conditioning and hot water was terrific. We all enjoyed the pool and spa later in the day and there was enough parking for our 5 vehicles. Of course the private beach access was great and we hired Chris to set up our chairs and umbrellas for the week which was fabulous.
Over all the sleeping accommodations worked out for everyone.
We hope to return next year.

There was a few minor things that were worn or broken but it didn't effect our stay at all. Very homely feeling & the kids all had a great time at the beach.
