Area Attractions:

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 Gulf Place community is located along a 26-mile stretch of sugar-white sand and turquoise waters of Northwest Florida’s celebrated Emerald Coast. As one of the 16 distinct beach neighborhoods in South Walton, it has its own distinct character and charm. This colorful community on 30A is comprised of 25 acres located in the heart of Santa Rosa Beach on the corner of 30A and 393. Gulf Place was specifically designed to slow visitors and locals down with palm tree-lined streets, wide sidewalks, colorful outdoor patios with large umbrellas, nature walking trails, green spaces and ample park benches to sit and enjoy the views. Gulf Place is unique from all the other South Walton neighborhoods. Residents and guests gather here to enjoy original art, boutique shopping, local cuisine, live music and a laid back atmosphere.

The snorkelers in your group will love the new artificial reef called Seahorse Reef, deployed in 2017. Located just 715 feet out from the Topsail Hill Preserve 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 Seahorse Reef is at a depth of 13-18 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!

"We had the best family vacation! We LOVED the quiet gated community with awesome pool and gym. Only a 1 mile drive or bike ride to the Dune Allen public beach access that had easy parking and gorgeous, clean beaches. Also biked less than a mile to Topsail Nature Preserve that also has a beautiful beach, with the state park entry fee. The home was so clean, comfy and the kitchen had everything we needed to cook all our meals at home. We would definitely return again to this same home ❤️"

"We throughly enjoyed our stay. It was roomy, comfortable bed, great location and we enjoyed our walks In the neighborhood. I have a few suggestions- the ice maker was pretty noisy and the down stairs hall bathroom toilet ran a lot? The toilet running didn’t bother us but it will cost you a lot of money on your water bill , it’s an easy fix just by replacing the flapper! Also upstairs it takes a long time for the hot water to get hot - suggestion putting instant hot water under the sink they are pretty inexpensive. We would stay again! Thank you"

"Spent a week here after the crowds of Spring Break had gone. It’s a big house for a solo trip, but the location and amenities were worth it! His is the quiet, peaceful end of the 30A. House was easy to find and access, even at night in a thunderstorm. The community infinity pool was lovely, big and very warm. With four bikes I kept one in the back of my truck for exploration, best idea ever! The proximity to Topsail Hill State Park and the unspoiled beaches and dunes, and the Timpoochee trail made this location magic. I spent my days bicycling, hiking, swimming and enjoying the many great seafood places nearby (Stinky’s and Shunk Gully are tops). I also enjoyed hanging out on the porch and listening to the frogs and birds. The grill came in handy too and worked great. Kitchen is well equipped (but zero condiments or spices - bring your own). There’s a Publix and Walmart nearby, as well as an excellent seafood market. Top stay on all counts!"
