About this property
Walk to Beach & Gulf Place, Bikes, King beds, Luxury 30A Coast Retreat
The Blue Heron 30A
A modern 4 bedroom, 4 ½ bath 2-story home, built in 2017 is located only a short flat walk to the beach in a quiet neighborhood. It is a spacious 2200 sqft beach home decorated in a modern coastal style, with 10ft ceilings and white washed oak hardwood floors throughout.
Whether preparing a meal in the well-stocked kitchen, playing games, or lounging on the comfy sectional watching a movie on the Smart TV, memory-making family time is encouraged by the bright, airy, and open floor plan. We have 2 front porches and a secluded back patio with seating and a gas barbecue grill for relaxing outside. 4 bikes are available for your use during your stay.
The home sleeps 9 comfortably with each bedroom having their own bathroom.
Primary BR Downstairs – King bed, double sink vanity, tile surround soaking tub and shower combo
Primary BR Upstairs – King bed, double sink vanity, large tiled walk in shower and private porch with daybed, perfect for relaxing with a book or coffee
Bedroom 3 Upstairs – King bed, large tiled walk in shower
Bedroom 4 Upstairs – Twin bunk bed + Trundle, tiled surround tub/shower combo
Full Size Washer/Dryer Downstairs
Designed with family fun in mind, there's something for everyone here. If you are looking to put your toes in the sugar white sand beaches and emerald water, you are a 10 min walk to Ed Walline Public Beach Access which is equipped with parking, bathrooms, outdoor showers, picnic tables, grills and is ADA accessible. Across from the beach access is Gulf Place which offers restaurants like Shunk Gulley with stunning gulf views, shopping, bike rentals and live entertainment. If the pool is more your speed, we are just a few houses away from the community pool which is never crowded because it is only available to the small number of homes on our street. From Gulf Place you have access to the 19 mile paved bike path that parallels the entire length of 30A passing through all the famous beach communities (Dune Allen Beach, Grayton Beach, Seacrest Beach, Seaside, Alys Beach, Rosemary Beach).
For shoppers, the Grand Boulevard shops and Silver Sands Premium outlet mall have anything you may want, and there are numerous golf courses nearby and several tennis facilities all within a 15 minute drive.
Note: Parking for 3 cars. No student rentals. Street legal golf carts are allowed on 30A.
Guests pets are not allowed and smoking is not permitted in our home.
Grocery stores are less than a 10-minute drive and Publix now has online ordering and delivery to our area allowing you more time to relax and enjoy your vacation.

About the host
Hosted by Angela Rhoton
We love travel and spent 3 years living on a sailboat. We’ve moved back to land, but we missed the water and beach so we decided to buy a home within an easy driving distance from our home in GA. In 2023, we moved to Santa Rosa Beach and use this home to host family and friends when it’s not being rented so please treat it as you would your own and please enjoy it as much as we do.
Why they chose this property
We loved the location (proximity to 30A, the beach, restaurants, shopping), modern coastal style, quiet secluded neighborhood.
What makes this property unique
2 porches and secluded back patio to relax, short walk to beach, community pool on street, space for family to spread out, privacy with all en-suite bathrooms.
Premier Host
They consistently provide great experiences for their guests
