Great House!

The house was fantastic! Sitting on the balcony watching the ocean was a perfect start to the day. There was plenty of space for the whole family and the pool was great. As an added bonus, there was a store within walking distance. I highly recommend this rental!

Incredible House and Service!

My family of 17 had a wonderful time in this beautiful house! Accommodations are first rate, beds are comfortable, and there are plenty of bathrooms. It took a while to get used to the alarms on each door, but we appreciated the importance of protecting the kids from escaping the house and jumping in the pool. The pool was great and the beach easy to access. We would definitely stay in this house again!

Beautiful Place; Perfect trip

Everything about our experience was perfect!! The beach house was beautiful, clean and comfortable for all of us. We were all blown away by the House and all the amenities. The bikes and beach chairs were a fun and unexpected added touch. Diamond Gulf Rentals were also fantastic. Staying in touch to make sure we had everything we needed without becoming bothersome. The staff was friendly and helpful taking care of us and making our trip that much more special. The birthday girl even said she would turn 50 again if we could do the trip all over again. Thank you for the perfect trip and wonderful memories.

Wonderful Week

Our family had a wonderful week at Footprints! There was plenty of room for all 22 of us. Entire family enjoyed the pool. We spent most of our days on the beach. Children enjoyed using bikes. The only downside for us was size of public beach access near the property. We adjusted our setup and totally enjoyed the beautiful water and beach. If Footprints in the sand is available when we plan next year's vacation we will book it. Diamond Gulf responded quickly to the one minor issue we had.

Great time!

We loved our time together at Footprints. 11 adults. 4 children (2 babies). Everything was clean and updated. We felt very welcomed! The pool guy was prompt and very helpful. Beach was extremely close and convenient. Communication w Diamond Realty was quick and ongoing while we were there. We would def recommend. Thank you, Footprints! PS Bikes need a tune up. One chain was off. Bathroom sink (by kitchen) drains very slowly. Garage door opener didn't work for us.

Family Spring Break

Wonderful family spring break. This was our first time staying on the West end of 30A and we were pleasantly surprised by how much we enjoyed it. Much quieter than Seaside and Sea Grove area. The house was a quick walk to the beach (easy beach access) and all the shops in Santa Rosa Beach. The house and guest house offered plenty space for our family of 7 to spread out and have their own space. The pool is fantastic, especially with added heating. We used the pool for several hours every day since the water at the beach was closed due to rip tides. The kitchen is well stocked with everything needed for family dinners. The guest house is absolutely gorgeous and you could easily do two families or two groups with the space in the main house and guest house. All in all a comfortable house and wonderful outdoor space. I particularly liked having the two beach chairs provided daily at the beach. It basically helps reserve your spot on the small public beach each day. The home owners are gracious to leave bikes and lots of extras like beach chairs, beach toys and pool toys for guest to use responsibly. The rental company was responsive and sent helpful reminders and info throughout the stay. Thank you for a wonderful 30A experience.

Great for multiple families

Stayed in the Fall, and loved the outdoor area between the two houses! The tablet that was set up to stream music on the outdoor speakers was a nice touch that added to the experience of hanging by the pool. Relaxing around the fire pit nightly was an excellent bonus that we haven't experienced on 30A before. The guest house having its own kitchen and laundry machine is another unique touch that sets this property apart from so many others that our large families have stayed at. The garage was fully stocked with so many bikes, beach chairs, pool floats, sand toys, baby gate, stroller. Diamond Gulf was easy to work with and stayed in touch, checking in on our needs throughout our stay. All of this plus a short easy walk to the beach, make this a property that I would highly recommend!

Footprints In The Sand

We enjoyed our week. Having two separate houses allowed us to spread out and the kids enjoyed their space on the first floor of the main house. The house was clean and the management was very responsive to our needs and quick to help if we needed anything. We will definitely book again through Diamond Gulf Rentals.

Footprints in the sand

The pictures do not lie! This is a beautiful, well-maintained property. My large family of 18 stays on 30A every year and this was a great house. Very clean, lots of amenities, including all the beach stuff you could need. The pool area was a great place to mingle after a day at the beach my family grilled hung around and watched the kids play in the pool. We made sure to get to the beach early to get a good spot, but there is a larger public beach access just down the road from the property which is really convenient! Another great asset is the team at diamond gulf. They were very professional, polite, and responsive to each concern. Oh, and one last thing, the beds were phenomenal!

Great House, small beach

The house was great! It was the perfect size and was well equipped and clean. The beach is a very short walk but be warned it is really small. There are 40 feet of public beach that everyone has to squeeze into. The beach on each side of the public beach is private and they have security guards posted that will not let you on the beach even when they are completely empty! We got up early to stake out spot and we made it work but it would've been nice to know this info on the front end. Other than that it was great!

Great Vacation

We loved the house. It was perfect for three families, especially having two houses. I was very impressed with Diamond Gulf Rentals. The company was quick to respond to any questions that I had. The houses were clean and very comfortable. I would definitely use their services again.

Beautiful Place and Great Location

We came down for a company fishing trip. Some of the guys enjoyed the relaxing atmosphere of the house and the close proximity to the beach so much that they decided not to go out on the boat. One dislike we had is the door alarms that go to the pool. 12 men in and out all day and the acknowledge button only worked half the time. Very loud and obnoxious, especially for those who were sleeping on the bunks by the main house door. We understand the purpose is to protect children but when there are only adults you should be able to disable that for the weekend. Also the interface to turn music on around the pool was locked out. Maybe that's only for the owners use. All the bikes either had flat tires or busted chains. We certainly still had a good time and would book with Diamond Realty again in the future but these were just a few items that could be improved upon.

Epic vacation

The rental was clean and inviting. We had everything we needed. We had 21 people 7 being under the age of 3 1 newborn. The kids really enjoyed the pool. (As did the adults lol)we had plenty of room for everyone. The weather could not have been better. The beaches were absolutely beautiful. We will definitely come back next year.

Amazing Experience

The house was beautiful. It accommodated my gang very nicely. Nice short walk to beach, although, public beach access very limited. We were crowded at times. This should be stressed to all looking to book this house....Convenience store next door was a nice bonus! The Diamond Folks did an outstanding job. From my very first inquiry...to the morning of check out, they were so helpful. I will definitely use Diamond in the future, but will probably choose a different house ONLY because limited beach access. Already looking forward to next year!

This place was so beautiful it had to be a dream. Everything promised was provided from the easy walk to the beautiful white sand beaches to the heated private pool and the fire pit to end the perfect day/evening. I sure hated waking up back to the grind stone. Can't wait for the next time!
