About this property

Gulf‑Front 3BR on 30A • Ground‑Floor • Steps to Pool & Beach


Welcome to The Blue Barrell at San Remo, on scenic 30A. This super cute coastal cottage is newly renovated, offering first floor accommodations for immediate Beach and Pool access with gulf views. Walk out to the oversized patio and you are ten steps to the pool and a few more steps to our PRIVATE beach! The absolute best location for families with young children or older guests. This hidden gem on 30A is nestled in a luxury beach front gated community. No front desk check in hassle to worry about. Just park and walk into your vacation.
San Remo guests have access to the gym, seasonally heated pool, jacuzzi, and grilling areas. The kitchen of The Blue Barrell is fully equipped for nights you are not frequenting some of the best fine dining spots the emerald coast has to offer; many of which are within walking distance. Bonus: We are immediately off the 30A Pedestrian/Bike path that goes from Dune Allen (west) to Rosemary (east), so we encourage our guests to rent bikes for the whole family during your stay!
Please stay and make yourself at home at our favorite place in the world. (Nicknamed San Dreamo because it truly is a dream come true).

We really enjoyed our stay at this property in Santa Rosa Beach. The promixity to the beach and pool, the gated complex and the first floor location were all perfect for our family. The one question we reached out to the host regarding was answered in a timely manner and resolved. Would definitely stay here again!

We had an amazing week at San Remo 30A! The condo was absolutely perfect—clean, comfortable, well-equipped, and in a fantastic location for our family vacation. Christie was an exceptional host and was always quick to respond to any questions we had. We couldn’t have asked for a better place to stay and would definitely book here again. Highly recommend!

I would love to keep this place a secret to myself! We have stayed at many places on the Emerald Coast and this wins my favorite of all time hands down. The gated property is tucked away in a private area for a small resort feel. No parking garage with front door parking was a game changer for our crew. The pool was right out our back porch and the beach was a breeze away on the boardwalk.The host was friendly and made it easy to communicate and stay in touch. The decor was eclectic with warm textures. It met all our 30A beach vacation needs and we will come back. We enjoyed everything about San Remo!

Cozy and clean! All the amenities you could ask for. Parking right by front door made for easy unloading and loading car. Note that the top shelf in Left kitchen cabinet where blender is- loose and tips down. Short walk to the beach was perfect and we we enjoyed morning workouts in the gym! Coffee in the outdoor living area was private and peaceful. We will definitely stay here again!

About the host

Hosted by Christie Homola

Host profile image
"About us." Newly married during the pandemic, we cancelled our big 2020 wedding at the last minute and decided it would be just as fitting to get married under a large southern oak tree instead. Once married, we had no where to go for our honeymoon other than a little secret beach on a hidden highway called 30A. This was not our first trip to this coast by any means, but this was where we fell in love again and again. A few years later we have found ourselves a slice of heaven at San "Dreamo" (our nickname for San Remo). Who needs a big wedding and a honeymoon when you have a forever honeymoon. ❤
~Note from the new owners, Jaeson and Christie~

Why they chose this property

When we found this property it was love at first sight. My eyes literally welled with tears it was that perfect. Every inch of it was designed with meaning and love. I hope you love it the same way that we do.

What makes this property unique

I think our favorite thing about this property is the location. A short walk to the west will land you in the heart of Gulf Place with all of the amenities there (Shunk Gulleys, Pecan Jacks, The Perfect Pig to name a few). Goat Feathers is to the east, Local Catch, The Grove and Basmatis restaurant and Mimmos Italian. There is no end in choices for good things to eat that are within walking/biking distance.
From the beach, we have a private boardwalk that is no where near a public access; much of our beach to the east is a non-rental zone, which lends itself to optimum privacy.
In the mornings we like to walk to the east toward Draper Lake. Once there, it is absolutely magic the way the lake meets the ocean.
In the evenings, just look to the west for a fire-in-the-sky sunset like you can see no where else. It is truly something to behold.
