Destin For Greatness - SLEEPS 12
Our group loved our stay at Destin for Greatness. We had everything we needed and plenty of room for 8 people. The pool was convenient and the beach shuttle was so helpful and quick! We could not have asked for a better place to stay for our girls trip!

Vacation home BEACH & FUN (2911)
Me and my friends enjoyed the stay, it was very clean & comfortable. Very much peaceful & beautiful.

11 Pools,Beach,Mini Golf,Pickleball,Fun
Our stay at Nicole’s Airbnb was a blessing, especially as we were evacuating from a hurricane. Despite the situation, we felt completely at ease thanks to her hospitality. The comfortable and stylish rooms, multiple pools to choose from, and the short walk to a pristine beach gave us a much-needed escape. Nicole went above and beyond, providing beach chairs, an umbrella, towels, toys for the kids, and many fans, which helped the kids sleep better. When the cart for our beach gear broke, she had a replacement within hours—amazing service! The beds were incredibly comfortable, which was perfect for our extended stay. The private office space was convenient, and the restaurants and activities nearby were great, with everything just a short drive away. Due to the hurricane, Nicole let us extend our stay at a reduced cost, giving us peace of mind when our power was out at home. We couldn’t have asked for a better place and will definitely return!

Grayt Dayz Ahead Vacation House
We loved our stay, just as advertised! We really enjoyed using the tram to the beach. We packed up the rolling cart from the shared closet with beach chairs, an umbrella, shovels and buckets, and walked a few blocks to the tram pick up and got no sand in our car, which was a plus for us! Tram came around every 3-5 minutes. Location was awesome, good lunch or dinner spot at the beach access. Bathroom, water, snacks all easily accessible. Great house and location, and friendly and accessible owner. Thanks!

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
The place could not have been better! This is the nicest place I've ever stayed at the beach. The bedrooms are large, as is the whole living / dining / kitchen area. The private beach access was the best! I wish I could stay forever!

I’d definitely book this stay again . Me and my family enjoyed the stay. It was clean , easy to find and Rich was extremely helpful and kind ! If you are a family of 3-4 this is the place for you ! You’ll love it

Views! Steps to the beach. Great pool and hot tub
If proximity to the beach is what you are looking for, this place should be on your list!
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.
