The house was a great size and plenty of room and very clean. Pool is very small and not much room for more than 3-4 kids. The beach entry for the property was a public beach which can be very crowded at times.

Wonderful property, issue with upstairs air-conditioning got fixed right away. Really liked this location in Santa Rosa and property has pretty good proximity to the beach - about 10 minutes to walk it. The bikes were in good shape and a wonderful addition to the trip! There are lots of shops and restaurants close by as others have said. Overall, we had a great week and really enjoyed the property - will consider staying again.

This home was AMAZING, very, very clean and nicely decorated! It exceeded our expectations on every end. Much larger than what it looks like in the pictures. Home was fully furnished with everything that you would need for a perfect vacation. Pool was also a bit bigger than expected and was enough for my family of two adults and two teens. In a perfect location - just a short walk from the beach (literally), many restaurants and Publix. Be sure to stop by and try South of Philly 30A - so GOOD! Can be to local shopping in Destin and Panama City in less than 30 minutes. If you are looking for a clean, spacious and well kept property for your next vacation, you must give Just For The Halibut a try. You will not be disappointed! Would without a doubt book them again!

Beautiful home and great location

Enjoyed our stay here. The home is beautiful and larger than the pictures appear. The location is great and an easy walk or bike ride to restaurants, shopping, and the beach. We particularly enjoyed the bicycles which included a kid trailer.

Great house in a great location!

This house was perfect for our crew of 4 adults, 3 kids, and one dog. Beach and great little commercial district are an easy 10 minute walk away, which is entirely feasible even with lots of beach gear because of the wagon in the garage. We loved this house and would highly recommend it.

May 2024

We had a great stay! The place was clean, grocery store, restaurants and beaches were close. We rented a golf cart for the beach- we liked the one a little East on 98 by Goatfeathers instead of the closest access. The pool was perfect for our little family. Make sure to get extra paper towels, toilet paper and beach chairs! 10/10 would stay again!
