Great home!
The property is well kept and appointed with nice appliances, cookware and dishes. The kids bikes are a bit old but serviceable. A short wall to the beach. Owner was kind and quick to respond. We hope to be back soon!

Amazing getaway, GREAT location
The home is located in an amazing area, the neighborhood is fantastic and just a short walk to the beautiful beaches. The home is very well stocked and has everything you need. Communication with the owner was great, and everything was so lovely. Cannot recommend this one more highly.

Perfect vacation spot
Our family had a great time! The house and amenities were exceptional! The beach access was very close to the not too crowded gulf. Bonnie was very helpful and responsive. We will definitely rent this house again!

About the host

Hosted by Bonnie Woods

Host profile image
My husband and I are retired school "people" (principal and guidance counselor) and have always known that when we retired we would move to a beach. After living our entire lives in Ohio we moved to Santa Rosa Beach full time 20 years ago......for many years we assumed we would move to our beach home on the Atlantic Coast in Delaware but then we discovered Santa Rosa Beach.......we still love Delaware but we love SRB more.....

Why they chose this property

We never had any intention of purchasing property in Florida - or of spending much time here. And then, after a conference nearby, we came for a weekend and fell in love with Santa Rosa Beach....We truly feel that it is our Paradise. We have been to many beaches in the US and elsewhere and have not been anyplace that compares to our beautiful beach!!

What makes this property unique

We built our home so that it serves well for full time living (it is our primary home) and also is comfortable for the large groups that generally gather for a week's beach vacation. The open great room (living, dining, kitchen) comfortably holds large groups and yet is cozy for those times when just my husband and I are here. We have large covered porches with comfortable wicker furniture for outside living, and open decks for enjoying the sun at other times.
