This thoughtfully designed condo at San Remo had everything we needed to celebrate Thanksgiving with family. I would highly recommend this spot the next time that you’re looking to relax and unplug by the water on Santa Rosa Beach.
It was very clean, beds were extremely comfortable, and the host was super friendly. We loved our stay here!
The walk to the beach was short and convenient. The condo also has beach toys, boogie boards, beach chairs, and an 7nbrellato borrow
Our condo stay was wonderful! Perfect location with a beautiful view of the pool and access straight to the beach. Christie was wonderful to work with, we will definitely be back!
The condo was a great location and updated beautifully. It was perfect for our family which included teenagers and small kids. Steps away from the pool and a short walk to the beach on the boardwalk. The beach was beautiful with clear water and white sand. Our family had a great time and we will be back!
We enjoyed our week at San Remo so much! This location is perfection. Right out the door to the pool and a very private beach compared to so many others. We were able to find a front row spot for our chairs even after 9am! We will try to book here again in the future for sure.
The Blue Barrell is nestled in a perfect spot on the beach. We walked to restaurants every night and enjoyed biking the trails. You also can’t beat the proximity to the beach. Wonderful!
We traveled with three young children and aging parents- this truly fit all ages perfectly. The proximity of the pool and beach were fantastic, layout of the condo was extremely spacious, and we walked to breakfast, ice cream, and shopping! We wished we could have completed our stay (hurricane Helene decided to arrive!) but hope to be back soon. Christie did a fantastic job stocking the house with everything we needed and then some, and interior decor was beautiful.
Perfect location, had everything we needed including board games for when it rained. Communication was prompt with super helpful tips! Would definitely come back!
Let me start by saying Christie is an AMAZING host! She’s also an excellent communicator, which made our stay easy. The location and condo were great. Felt really chill. My teen boys enjoyed it too. Shops and eateries within walking distance. Easy walk down to the beach. Pool was clean and close by. Others in the condo were cool and kind; no issues with noise. I highly recommend.
Amenities are top notch; perfect sized property and the condo had everything we could have needed for a family fun weekend. From the coffee makers to the serving platters- huge island for gathering. Everyone wants to come back again!
We enjoyed our stay at San Remo. One of the best vacations we’ve had. Being on the ground floor with children was so nice due to the amount of beach items we carried back and forth. The pool was steps away and easy for our children to go back and forth for lunch, restroom, etc. The pool was always clean and the grounds were well taken care of. The beach is one of a kind and a short walk from the pool. Christie was always available if needed and made sure we had all info before arriving. We loved San Remo and will be back!
From the moment we entered The Blue Barrell, we felt relaxed and right at home.
The decor was beautiful and cozy. So many items we've had to buy on past vacations were already stocked in the condo. Christie thought of everything!
We loved having the first floor walkout patio, and being just steps to the pool, hot tub and beach made for a perfect location. Loved that the pool and hot tub were open until 10.. We are night owls!
Our golf cart rental made for fun, fresh air outings to Gulf Place, Blue Mountain Creamery, and we even ventured down to Seaside for some shopping and food. Parking at the condo was very convenient for both car and golf cart.
LOVED San Remo and The Blue Barrell!
Blue Barrel was perfect in every way. The layout was great for our family of 4. The beds were so comfortable! We loved walking out the door right to the pool, beach & large hot tub or just sitting in the patio enjoying the views. The kitchen had just what we needed for meals in but we really enjoyed walking the 10 min for some great meals & live music. Our favorites were Perfect Pig, Papa Surf (backyard patio), and Red Bar (30 min bike ride). We hope to be back again one day!
The condo was super convenient, fully equipped with everything you need (even flashlights for crab hunting). When they say “10 steps to the pool” they are exactly right. The pool area never felt crowded, plenty of seating and plenty of personal space while you were in the pool.
The beach and ocean were perfect! Beautiful blue green (clear) water and soft white sand.
Restaurants, shops and ice cream are very conveniently located.
We vacation 1-2 times per year up and down the gulf coast, this was the top spot for our family and will definitely return.
If you are looking for a beach vacation I would highly recommend San Remo!
This is our 2nd year staying at Blue Barrell. We hope there will be many more summers spent at this beautiful condo. The owners are wonderful!! The communication was beyond expectation. These are good people! We're thankful for everything they provided and look forward to vacay 2024.
So many things to say about my stay , the area was just what I was looking for , in a nice quiet area on the Beach , BUT just a few minutes down the road there is all activities you could want . The condo is decorated to perfection , from the moment you enter you know you have found a gem for your vacation stay. Many restaurants to choose from but if you like to cook the kitchen is stocked with any thing you would could possible want from blender cocktails to a full course dinner . The pool was a good size and sparkling clean every day. , thank you for sharing your slice of paradise
Stayed a week at the Blue Barrel unit in San Remo. Have been to this complex several times. Can’t be best for families, especially with young children. The unit is ground level making Beach and pool access especially convenient. The unit is well equipped and has been updated. Host very accommodating. Recommend.
We had the BEST time at the Blue Barrell and was the perfect family vacation! The location, the pool, the beach access, and the host! The house was stocked with everything we needed as well as the things that we made our travel easier - beach towels, beach toys, chairs, boogie boards, pool noodles, etc. The condo was on the 1st floor, so could walk out the patio to the pool and the beach was an easy 5 minute walk which was perfect for our young kids. Not only was the house amazing, but Christie was so easy to work and communicate with! We definitely plan to stay here again on future trips to 30A!

About the host
Hosted by Christie Homola
"About us." Newly married during the pandemic, we cancelled our big 2020 wedding at the last minute and decided it would be just as fitting to get married under a large southern oak tree instead. Once married, we had no where to go for our honeymoon other than a little secret beach on a hidden highway called 30A. This was not our first trip to this coast by any means, but this was where we fell in love again and again. A few years later we have found ourselves a slice of heaven at San "Dreamo" (our nickname for San Remo). Who needs a big wedding and a honeymoon when you have a forever honeymoon. ❤ ~Note from the new owners, Jaeson and Christie~
Why they chose this property
When we found this property it was love at first sight. My eyes literally welled with tears it was that perfect. Every inch of it was designed with meaning and love. I hope you love it the same way that we do.
What makes this property unique
I think our favorite thing about this property is the location. A short walk to the west will land you in the heart of Gulf Place with all of the amenities there (Shunk Gulleys, Pecan Jacks, The Perfect Pig to name a few). Goat Feathers is to the east, Local Catch, The Grove and Basmatis restaurant and Mimmos Italian. There is no end in choices for good things to eat that are within walking/biking distance. From the beach, we have a private boardwalk that is no where near a public access; much of our beach to the east is a non-rental zone, which lends itself to optimum privacy. In the mornings we like to walk to the east toward Draper Lake. Once there, it is absolutely magic the way the lake meets the ocean. In the evenings, just look to the west for a fire-in-the-sky sunset like you can see no where else. It is truly something to behold.
