Tenn-a-Sea on 30A is a delightful large(2616 square feet) home with 4-bedrooms, 3-bathrooms with two wrap around, multi-level decks providing breathtaking Gulf views. Every room (except one bedroom) presents a view of the water. Tenn-a-Sea on 30A is located on a quiet cul-de-sac in the exclusive, family friendly, gated community of Sunrise Beach and is less than 80 steps to your private beach. Tenn-a-Sea on 30A is under new ownership and we have lovingly furnished it as we would our very own home. Twenty-six years ago, our family started renting homes on 30A every year. As a large family who has rented for many years, we are acquainted with what a home needs to be considered well-appointed. And we have done our very best to furnish Tenn-a-Sea in this manner. The open first floor offers a relaxing main family area with two comfortable sofas and two club chairs, as well a smart tv for streaming, and games. The expansive, well-stocked kitchen was recently updated with all new stainless steel Kitchen Aide appliances and a Keurig, drip coffee maker and tea kettle. The pine dining table allows for plenty of seating for large groups with 6 chairs, a large bench and addition 4 bars stools at the kitchen bar. On the main floor, the beautiful french doors lead to one of the primary bedrooms with en suite bathroom. The room is furnished with a king bed and a twin daybed with twin trundle. Upstairs leads to two light and bright airy queen bedrooms. The sun flooded loft provides views of the Gulf and a perfect location for an afternoon nap. In the evenings, it is an ideal spot for the kids to play a game or watch a movie. The views from the upstairs primary room are beyond stunning. Open the windows at night to be lulled to sleep by the crashing waves. Step through the door onto the upper deck and relax on the new outdoor sectional sofa to soak up those breathtaking Gulf sunsets. Enjoy the seating on the lower deck in one of the 6 adirondack chairs, while the chef grills on the charcoal grill next to the rosemary bushes-a chef's dream. We also provide a cooler, short chairs, sand toys and beach towels. When you return from the beach - please use the outdoor shower to rinse off the sand! For those days when you and the little ones want a break from the sand, you have access to a private community pool, as well as a fitness center, putting green, bocce ball and shuffleboard at the same location-1.5 miles down 30A in The Village of Blue Mountain.

Such a joy to host you and your family! We would welcome your return! And we completely agree with you about our location… just steps to the sand.
This is our second time staying at this property, and we absolutely love it! The house is beautiful, with lots of room for the family, and for people to go to their own corners as needed. Super convenient to both the private beach and to food. There is lots to do in the area, but one of our favorite things about this spot is we don’t have to drive anywhere if we don’t want to. We normally grab groceries on the way in, and then it’s a very short walk down to the beach, and a simple walk to restaurants, wine/liquor store, ice cream, and simple shopping if wanted. Easy to do a bonfire at the public beach access next door too, and walk over pizza from across the street. Melanie is also a great host. Very welcoming, communicative, and available for questions. Highly recommend, and we can’t wait to stay again!

My extended family and myself enjoyed staying in the Tenn-a-sea house. It met our needs, was very clean, and just steps from the beach. We have stayed in several houses in this little gated community and this one was by far our favorite!

We travelled with my adult children to Santa Rosa & had a wonderful time at this beautiful beach home! The kitchen was well appointed with everything anyone could possibly need. The living room & beds were very comfortable & the bathrooms were just gorgeous with plenty of room for everyone to have their own space. We loved the beach coffee shop just steps away. We will definitely return!

My family had a wonderful stay at Tenn-A-Sea. The home and its amenities could not have been any better. The white sand beaches were very easy to access, not even a block away. We would definitely stay here again.

We are so thankful you chose Tenn-a-Sea! It was our pleasure to host you and your group. Yall were wonderful guests who lovingly appreciated our home and we look forward hosting you again.
Warmly,
Melanie and Dexter
The house was wonderful and the host was spectacular. The proximity to the beach was ideal and we enjoyed great views from the balcony. The only reason the location did not receive a 5 star is because I am a very light sleeper and I did hear the beach goers very early in the morning from the public parking on the other side of the fence that is next to the house. Again, I am a light sleeper so it may not bother most people. Even with that, I would stay here again.

Perfect house for a quick getaway or week long stay. Convenient to the beach and restaurants, never needed to get back in the car after arrival. Clean, well maintained and the owners are a pleasure to work with. Highly recommended!!

My family and I came and stayed for New Year’s, and it was absolutely perfect! The house is super clean beautifully decorated, and has every kitchen utensil you could ever think of. We were able to spend time together and relax after a hectic holiday season! It was in a great location that was convenient for everything restaurants, shops, grocery stores, etc. We look forward to being able to come back again with our family.

About the host
Hosted by Dexter and Melanie Woods
We are Dexter and Melanie and have experienced so many special memories along 30A, from deep sea fishing, bike rides, walks on the beach, snorkeling, learning to YOLO. We love to travel all of the country but 30A is our second home away from Tennessee. We have dreamed of owning a house at the beach where we completely unwind. We are excited to share our home with others.
Why they chose this property
We love 30A and continue to return to this area year after year (for the last 28 years). We discovered this property because of its proximity and views of the Gulf. The home is expansive with a lot of outdoor living space to accommodate our large family.
What makes this property unique
Sunrise Beach is a quaint gated community with the convenience of shops and restaurants within walking distance. The extra benefit of a private beach and fewer crowds was an extra perk for us.
Premier Host
They consistently provide great experiences for their guests
