We absolutely LOVED our stay! It was so nice to be such a short walk to the beach! The house was beautiful and Kara thought of everything! We will be back!
The house is great. Kids would love the top floor, too. I’m hoping to get me grandkids there soon. I had no reason to be in touch with the property manager so that rating has to do with the fact that all was well.
Close to the beach, well maintained, and had basics so we didn't have to worry about soap, shampoo, toilet paper. Has beach chairs/umbrellas. Owner was very responsive to questions. Only recommendation is it would be nice to have beach towels, travel glasses/tumblers for the beach, cooler for the beach, and food storage items (containers, ziplocks, foil, etc.) but not a deal breaker just nice to have.
First of all, the property is wonderfully located. It is decorated nicely and incredibly comfortable. All communication with Kara was prompt and informative.
Loved our stay at the property with the kids. Close beach access and the community pool is directly across the road from the front door. Thanks for being pet friendly and sharing the space for our vacation!
We had a great stay at Eventide as this was a last minute trip to Santa Rosa Beach, FL. Our family of 8 stayed very comfortably at this property, and it is pet friendly! Great location to beach and shops, and quick response from owner with any questions we had.
Great location! Great house with lots of space, comfortable beds, wonderfully stocked kitchen, fabulous decks with beautiful view and grill! We had the best time even with our rainy days!
Very nice property and plenty of space for everyone. Well equipped kitchen, beach accessories, and bath towels! Owner is wonderful and made sure our stay great. Already looking forward to returning next year.
The property was as shown and displayed in the listing and Kara was helpful with the rental property during check in and stay.
The location is the best on 30A and can't be beat! We highly recommend this rental!
Communication with Kara was great. The house has a great setup for a larger family. We rented a golf cart to get back and forth to the beach. I would recommend this if you’re carrying chairs, beach bag and a cooler with you. It is walkable but tough with all the above.
Kara was great! Very accommodating, quick to respond, super pleasant, and easy to work with! The house was clean, spacious for our group, very comfortable, and in a cute location. We would definitely return!
