Casa Marlin Beach House PCB, FL
Great place that was so close to the beach. Pool was very clean and the water temperature was perfect. If I’m ever back in the area I’ll definitely book this place again.

Condo in Miramar Beach, FL with Amazing Ocean View

Stay salty * 0.6 miles to beach* monthly discount
We visit Destin every year for Memorial Day and this was one of our top stays. Everything was put together nicely and we felt right at home. Our hosts gave very clear and concise instructions which was greatly appreciated. I personally had no questions or a reason to bother them but they were sure to let me know they were available if we needed anything. If I were to add anything to the place, I’d recommend a full length mirror. Other than that fantastic stay!10/10 strongly recommend

Gulf coast vacation townhome
We had so much fun on our trip at Jerry’s AirBnb. he was very helpful in listing local recommendations and the house was super close to the beach, maybe 5 minute walk. we were very close to all the local tourism spots and had so much fun, and loved the back patio for hanging out! Beautiful place!

3 Bd Lakefront Cottage at Sandestin®, 2 Golf Carts
Very nice place, the golf carts make it work really well.

Great place to stay! Host was responsive to any questions and walkable distance to the beach

Oceanfront On The Beach +PCB Best Prime Location
Our stay was great! The location being directly on the beach was great for my family. I have small kids, so being able to be steps away from the beach was perfect. The hosts were great communicators they literally responded in seconds. I would definitely stay here again and recommend anyway stay here. It was family friendly and inviting.

Save $ Cottage 3Br 2 1/2 bath 3 miles to Beach.
We enjoyed our time so much that we extended our stay for an extra night. I love the location of the house because it’s about 3 min to the beautiful beach. The house has everything you could need. Central location for all activities. We will be back!

Destin For Greatness - SLEEPS 12
We really enjoyed our stay! The house was perfect for our group of eight--two families with four kids ages 9-14. We especially appreciated the spacious bedrooms, the numerous bathrooms, and the balcony. We had fun the pool and the nearby beach.

Cozy Casa Palmira- Heated Pool-Lake-Tennis Court
We enjoyed staying at Haydee’s place. It was a spacious place and was set up nicely for a family to stay all week (including a washer and dryer). It was about a 15-20 min walk to the beach so you did not have to drive. There were also places to eat which were walkable. The only issues we experienced were paying for parking by QR code and a louder neighbor upstairs one evening, but these were both out of Haydee’s control, and she was very responsive the whole time.

Create Memories On The Beach! Outstanding Gulf Vie
Beds were super comfortable! The resort is absolutely amazing! The views from the balcony are breathtaking! There is a great restaurant on site and love all the amenities! Love how the resort comes with chairs and umbrella on the beach! Great place to stay and I would for sure return in the future!!!!

Grayt Dayz Ahead Vacation House
Very convenient to all the things we wanted to do. Excellent amenities and beautiful accommodations in the house

The Panama City Beach Getaway
I would highly recommend staying here! The house is clean and cozy and conveniently located close to the beach.

Sand Dollar 7B - 2BR Private Beach, Free Bch Svc
Highly recommend this place. It was our first time staying directly on the beach and we absolutely loved it. Both decks were wonderful. The private beach, with chair & umbrella service, was fantastic. The location was perfect and you can walk on the beach or sidewalk. Comfortable bed and pillows, hot showers, and cool house - all important! We’ll definitely be back!

Gulf Coast Getaway
Todd and Mary were wonderful hosts! The place was clean, comfortable, and exactly as described. They checked in on my husband and me throughout our stay, which really showed how much they care about their guests. The location is perfect—just a short walk to the public beach. They even provided beach chairs and an umbrella, which was such a nice bonus. We’d definitely stay here again!

Gulf Views, Pool, Near Pier Park, Walk to beach
Great stay! The place was very comfortable and had everything you need for a weekend getaway. Amazing location right across from the beach. Would definitely come back
Your guide to Santa Rosa Beach
Introduction
Santa Rosa Beach is the largest of the 16 small communities that make up South Walton County along Florida’s Emerald Coast. The area is known for its stunning aquamarine waters and powdery, bright-white sand that, from afar, almost looks like snow. Spend your days relaxing on the beach and hiking the trails in nearby state parks such as Deer Lake, Grayton Beach, and Topsail Hill Preserve. You may have to dodge a summer storm, but Santa Rosa Beach has plenty of art galleries, boutiques, and theaters where you can pass the time. North of town, Choctawhatchee Bay is great for kayaking and fishing, and you can easily find a seafood restaurant to cook your catch while you sit back and enjoy the sunset with a cold, locally made craft beer.
The best time to stay in a vacation rental in Santa Rosa Beach
Summer in the Florida Panhandle is famously hot and humid; in fact, the air conditioner was invented in Apalachicola, Fl, just 100 miles from Santa Rosa Beach. Memorial Day marks the start of the busy season, when the weather gets humid, temperatures climb into the high 80s and low 90s Fahrenheit, and families arrive at their beach vacation rentals. June ushers in hurricane season, which peaks in late summer and brings afternoon thunderstorms. Visitor numbers also spike over spring break in March, when the weather is warm and sunny and the coastal wildflowers bloom. But Santa Rosa Beach aficionados know that fall is the best time of the year here, thanks to temperatures around 70 degrees, low humidity, and waters still warm from the summer heat. Winters can get chilly and windy, but temperatures generally hover in the mid-50s, and the beaches are blissfully deserted.
Top things to do in Santa Rosa Beach
Point Washington State Forest
This 15,407-acre preserve contains cypress swamps, pine flatwoods, coastal scrub, and sandhills, as well as more than 27 miles of trails to hike and bike, including a popular 10-mile loop. You might even be lucky enough to spot gopher tortoises, flatwoods salamanders, and American kestrels.
Eden Gardens State Park
Eden Gardens State Park sprawls across 163 acres and includes flower gardens, woodlands, and a reflecting pool. The park’s crown jewel is the renovated Wesley House mansion, which was built in 1897 and is now open for tours. Visit in mid-March when the camellias and azaleas are in full bloom.
Drive Highway 30A
Stretching for 28.5 miles along the Gulf of Mexico, scenic Highway 30A is lined with sugar-sand beaches, dune lakes, pine forests, saw palmettos, and pastel-colored cottages clustered into quaint villages, including upscale and artsy Gulf Place, mellow Blue Mountain Beach, the WaterColor vacation home community, and the design-forward planned communities of Rosemary Beach and Alys Beach.
