We loved our stay here. The home was very clean and welcoming to our family. We enjoyed using the pool each evening. Jon and Pat were very responsive to any questions we had. We can’t wait to come back.

We enjoyed staying at this property. It was perfect for our family of five adults and two infants. Kitchen is well equipped, bedrooms are spacious with comfortable beds. Having a pool and spa was much appreciated because we couldn’t be at the beach all the time with little kids. Our 2 year old granddaughter loved feeding a fish in the pond. Location is great, close to everything but quiet at the same time. We hope to come back sometime soon!

Beach trip with wife and dogs
My wife our two dogs spent a week in the "emerald coast" in early May 2025. We were looking for a relaxing place with access to all the things in 30a. This property was perfect. From the spacious floor plan, to amazing fenced yard with pool & hot tub it was perfect. The host, Pat, was amazing. Continued to check in on our arrival day, and throughout our stay. The location of the property is great, and it's super close to beach access. We loved it so much, we already booked it again for May 2026.

Gulf Pearl
We loved the house. It was nice, and clean and in a very convenient location. Only thing I’d say may need an update would be the upstairs master bed, you could tell it was old and worn and not the most comfortable so me and my wife kind of struggled with rest some nights. Other than that the house was amazing! We traveled with our three young kids and another couple and everyone absolutely loved it!

Great Family Reunion Home
We stayed with our family of 10 and were very comfortable! It was beautifully decorated and gVe us plenty of room. Be aware that you will get lots of steps in because it is 4 floors! The pool area was our favorite area and the grandkids hardly left the pool. We loved grilling and socializing around the pool as well. The nearby beach was stunning and N easy 15 minute walk. The owners were very easy to communicate with and very gracious

Beautiful house, accommodating hosts
This house is stunning and fully stocked - we were pleasantly surprised by how well equipped the kitchen was. Our family of six (and 2 dogs) spent Christmas here and had a lovely stay.Pat and Jon are wonderful hosts - very responsive with any issues. All of the bikes had flat tires and we couldn’t get them full with the band pump; Jon came over with a heavy duty pump and got them all in riding shape. They also responded quickly with any questions. Only two things keep this from a 10/10 review. First, we had issues with the spa and pool. It was chilly that week and we didn’t expect to be able to really swim but we really enjoyed the spa - when it worked, it worked great. Unfortunately, it didn’t work all the time - a few times we turned it on to heat up and returned later ready to relax only to find it hadn’t heated. Jon quickly came out to resolve the issue but it happened again later in the week. Second, we thought the beach and park were much closer - one review say the park was “1 minute away” but understand that is driving, not walking. The park border is 100 yards from the house but the entrance is 1.2 miles away. The beach is about .5 miles. Both are definitely walkable but along a fairly busy road.

We loved our stay at Gulf Pearl! Home was beautiful, comfortable and well stocked for guests. Views of the lake and the Gulf of Mexico were out the back door. We saw bald eagles nesting in the trees while we enjoyed the hot tub, they would dip down in the lake and catch a fish and bring it up in the tree to enjoy. The hosts are very quick to respond to communications. We definitely recommend!!

Great quiet family get away
This property was so cute and just what our family needed to close out a very busy year! The bedrooms and living spaces were spacious and comfortable. The outdoor space was great for our family who wanted to enjoy the beautiful Florida weather and watch the NFL and college bowl games . The owners were very accommodating and very quick to respond to answer questions and gave us some great recommendations for local dining spots.

Our family enjoyed our vacation stay at this piece of paradise. Close to the beach with views from the master suite. The backyard and pool area offered more than enough space for our family.

Wonderful Home, Property & Location
Our family had a fabulous week at this home in Santa Rosa. The home is beautifully decorated, lots of space, well equipped kitchen, stock with the essentials, balconies on every floor with views of the pool, koi pond, lake behind the home or the beach in the distance. The lower level has a nice size pool, covered porch and sun porch as well as a fenced in grass area. Beach access is right up the street as well as a walking/bike path. Right off 30a there are several restaurants. Destin is 30 mins away. The home sits on a nice quite street.Perfect family getaway. We will definitely be back.
