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!

My family really enjoyed staying here. Close to some shops and restaurants, and by "close" I mean a short walk. Another successful vacation on 30A!

You can’t beat this location. We loved being able to walk everywhere we wanted to go. The only thing I could say needs improvement is the kitchen. But it’s very nitpicky. We love to cook and found the kitchen a bit limited in items we would usually want in a kitchen but it’s definitely enough to get by. There’s no salt/pepper, rubber spatula, grater and the pots/pans were limited. The fan above the stove didn’t work but we just cracked a window when needed. But again, all those things are very small and didn’t affect our vacation in any way.

Morgan, Thank you for taking the time to let us know about your vacation. We're glad you loved the unbeatable location and enjoyed walking everywhere. We appreciate your feedback about the kitchen and will take it into consideration. We hope you will join us again soon. Thank you for choosing RealJoy.

We were very happy with our stay! The house was very comfortable and in a great location. You can walk to the beach or to shops and restaurants. While on our trip we had car issues and had to extend our stay. RealJoy was so helpful and did everything they can to help us out. We highly recommend the Surfer Girl house and RealJoy Rentals!!

Great Location
Girls trips to the beach are always fun!! And this cute little bungalow provided the perfect space for our getaway. We were right in the heart of Santa Rosa, and within a short walking distance to a beautiful beach! There was beach concierge service on the beachc for chairs and an umbrella. Great parking. And we each had our own bedroom!! Thank you for the welcome gift upon arrival, a very sweet touch!!

This house is in a great location (1 block from shops and restaurants and a 3-5 minute walk to the beach) and a wonderful setup for a group. There is ample parking, and the house is stocked with the essentials.

Great house! Close to beach and amenities
This house is within walking distance of restaurants, coffee, shops, etc. It's also a short walk to the beach! It's right by the road but we had no issues with noise or traffic. It was nice being right there, quick access to most things. Seemed like a really safe area. We never felt unsafe, even walking back late at night. The house is nice. Perfect for a small group. Had all the basic amenities. Comfortable and cozy. Cute decor. Check in and check out super easy and smooth. Good communication with owners. We had a great stay and would love to go back someday! Thank you!

Thank you for choosing Real Joy.

Sufer Girl is a very clean cottage with a fun beach vibe. It is within easy walking distance to a beach access, shopping, and several places to eat. It has a nice front porch for people watching and the driveway easily fits at least 4 cars. I would rent again!

Awesome beach house!
We were so happy with our beach house. It was easy walking distance to Gulf Place and all it has to offer and the beach! Kids loved their own twin beds in the middle bedroom. Also make sure and visit Reef Beach rentals for a golf cart. Bethany was awesome.

Clean and comfy. 90s decor vibe. Great location to the beach which is about a 5 min (with a 3 yr old and 5 yr old) and shopping and restaurants. Quiet at night and family friendly. Would book again!

The house had amazing access to the beach, restaurants and shopping. Everything was walking distance. There were no issues with crossing the streets and finding a stop on the beach was easy.

Wonderful stay with family
This house was perfect for me, my teen daughter and two grandchildren to stay in. The house was pleasant, comfortable and clean with great beach themed decor. It had everything we needed! We could load up the wagon and walk right to the beach anytime we wanted. We also enjoyed walking to the shopping area for souvenirs, ice cream, etc. The wrap around deck is quite nice. We enjoyed the view outback and the big front deck area. This house is along busy 30A but people driving along this road were willing to stop and let us cross everytime we walked to the beach. Anytime I called RealJoy with questions they answered right away and were very pleasant and helpful. The text for the code to enter the house didn't come when it was supposed to but I called and they had that corrected in minutes. We ended up deciding to stay an extra day here and were able to get that set up easily. We would definitely stay here again!
