Area Attractions: 

This is a fantastic location with  Gulf Place Town Center  only  2  miles to the West and Watercolor,  Grayton  Beach, Seaside, Seacrest and Rosemary Beach just minutes away to the East. Biking is a great activity to enjoy as the scenic bike path meanders along 30A.  Bike over to Blue Mountain Beach Creamery for some homemade scoops that will have your taste buds coming back! 

30A is a fantastic destination, the beaches are some of the world’s best with sugar white sand and emerald green waters. You will find plenty of beach accesses along a 17 mile stretch of Santa Rosa Beach. It boasts unique shopping, fantastic cuisine and the incredible architecture that makes 30A famous, there are activities for everyone; kayak rentals, bike rentals, paragliding, fishing, golfing, hiking, swimming, tennis -- you'll find it all right here.

The snorkelers in your group will love the new artificial reef called Sea Turtle Reef, deployed in 2017. Located just 783 feet out from the Grayton Beach State Park access, it is becoming a haven for sea life. Each of the 4 snorkeling reefs comprises 40 acres of permitted sea bottom. The Sea Turtle Reef is at a depth of 12-19 feet. We strongly recommend that snorkelers use a kayak, paddleboard, or other flotation device when visiting the snorkel reefs. Sea conditions can and do change quickly and often. Enjoy!

The property itself was beautiful and very clean, not much closer you can get to the beach. The bed was super comfy but the pull-out couch was the worst I've ever slept on. For young kids it would be fine but as an adult with hip and back problems it was tough.

We loved the location on the beach and the place was clean and decorated nicely. Highly recommend. There are a few restaurants within walking distance too. The bed is comfortable but mattress needs replacing as it’s beginning to sag in the middle.

Stayed for two nights on a solo/recharge trip. Perfect size for one or two people. Locations and beach access were perfect. The only thing I was not a fan of was the door lock. You can tell it needs to be replaced from the duct tape on the inside portion of the lock and it makes a weird beep as if someone is unlocking the door which can creep you out if you’re not expecting it. Other than the lock everything was perfect.Will book again.

Thank you for your review! We're so glad you enjoyed your stay. We appreciate your feedback regarding the view. As noted in the listing, this condo offers partial Gulf views from the balcony, and the complex itself is directly on the beach.

I LOVE being able to just walk out into the backyard and have your beach access!! No walking down the road or having to go the public access.This unit is on the 3rd floor and has no elevators. The stairs are not hard to get up and down so it's really not bad.The unit is beautifully decorated and was clean, BUT it does have a musty odor. I'm not sure why because the A/C fan was constantly running to circulate the air. I would recommend a dehumidifier. You do get an assigned parking spot which is great.The units are spaced so you dont hear any noise from your neighbors. SPECTACULAR This unit is perfect size for a couple.Overall, we enjoyed our kid free vacation.

The condo was comfortable and nicely decorated and updated. The king size bed was so comfortable. RealJoy was very responsive when there were a couple of operational issues with the WiFi and washer/dryer. Some of the hard and soft goods in the condo were very worn and could use replacement: living room throws; sleeper sofa; cookware quality.
