Amazing family vacation!
We decided to check out a new spot for a family vacation this year and ended up booking this house for the week. The place was just as pictured and was perfect for our family needs. The kitchen was central to the main living and eating space so you always felt part of the conversations. While our little dude is 3, we did spot a pack and play in one of the closets which was nice they had there and we wouldn’t have had to bring if he was younger. The private pool was perfect to have for our afternoon swims, so we could enjoy the Florida sunshine while staying refreshed (the beach was a little too intense in the afternoon for our little one, so the pool was a must for us!) There was plenty of patio furniture surrounding the pool to lounge on both in the sun and under a shaded awning of the house. We also rented a golf cart during our week stay, and that was so handy to have to hop in and drive to dinners and cruise around town. Most of our dinners were had in the next beach town over in Grayton beach, which was a short 4miles in the golf cart on a slower road, so we felt safe traveling to and from with our little guy with us. It was a great experience and we’re looking forward to planning our next visit to this beautiful quaint neighborhood/town in Santa Rosa!

Great week at Beach Buddy, June 3 2023
Beach Buddy was great! The pool was awesome, pool toys for the kids. The house was fantastic. Loved the set up and everything in the kitchen anyone would need. The High Chair and and Pack N Play were a huge plus. I would rent Beach Buddy again. Thank you, Susan

Great Place - Exactly as pictured (compact but everything you need).
We stayed summer of 2022. It was quaint and exactly as pictured. The pool in backyard was small, but that was perfect for us. Easy beach access down the road. I would definitely stay again.
