30A Life, 30A-Beaches-South Walton, Florida Vacation Rental by Owner

5 stars hands down....
This was the easiest and most convenient beach trip we've had to Santa Rosa. We've been going for the past 10 years but this place had everything needed for an easy stay. Beach towels, beach wagon, and beach chairs...the walk to the beach was close and easy not to mention not crowded. Everyone slept well and mattresses were very comfortable and place was nice and clean! Kitchen is also well equipped for any cooking. Amy the manager was awesome! Even contacted us to let us know we left laundry and personally mailed it to us. Walking distance to plenty of great restaurants... it's a must and we will be back!!!

We stayed at the Legends in Santa Rosa in May 2020 and had a fabulous vacation with a family of four.  The unit was very clean, well equipped, and spacious.  The beds were super comfortable, probably the most comfortable of any property where we've stayed.  We had everything we needed for a great vacation including cooler, beach chairs, beach cart, towels, toys, umbrellas, rackets for the tennis court, etc.  It was only a short walk to the beach and was overlooking the pool.  We met so many nice people in Santa Rosa.  I would recommend trying Hurricanes restaurant and Shunk Gulley (walking distance from unit) for oysters and happy hour.  The property manager was also very quick to respond to any questions before and during our stay.  We were very pleased with our stay and will try to book here again in the future.

The place was fabulous and Amy was spectacular to work with. We loved that the unit was on the side closest to the beach. the beach closet had more supplies than we ever could have needed. We LOVE the Legends and we will be back! 

We felt at home in unit 307. We arrived late on Monday and walked into a clean and nicely decorated home. The bed was comfortable and the bathrooms were clean with good hot water. We liked the open floor plan. The kitchen was stocked well. Very nice appliances, even got chance to wash clothes. Great proximity to the beach. We would definitely stay here again. Thanks Amy!

We loved our stay at 30A Life!  Very spacious space for a big family!  The decorations are so cute and make you feel like you’re at the beach!  Kitchen is adequately equipped.  Washer and dryer a plus!  And NO need to bring any chairs or inflatables for the pool, they have plenty in a nice storage closet on the ground floor.  The beds in both bedrooms are SO comfy and the storage areas in the master bedroom are very handy.  Walk to beach is not bad at all, under 5 mins on a pretty dead street.  Pool was a touch warm but is was hot out!  Overall, we had a wonderful time at 30A Life and we will return!

We stayed for 5 night and had a great time. The place was clean and comfortable. Amy was available if we needed anything. Would stay there again.

We loved our stay in Santa Rosa. Amy was great to work with and helped us feel so welcome. She gave us excellent recommendations for restaurants and where to get groceries. She also had beach chairs, beach towels, and sand toys available for us to use, making it easier to pack for our trip. We definitely want to stay here again in the future!

We had a great time at this townhouse. Amy was great! She communicated really well before and during our stay - made sure we had what we needed and was available for any questions we had. The description and photos of the unit are accurate. It is really nice and clean. Just note that there are a lot of steps (1 flight up to the main floor and 1 flight upstairs...good exercise though). We had to pick up a couple of things that we needed in the kitchen that weren't already there, but no big deal. We liked being able to park underneath the unit so our vehicle was always in the shade. We also liked that it was close enough to walk to the beach (about 200 yards) and to Gulf Place where there are shops and restaurants. It was early in the season and the pool was cold (not heated like some other places we've stayed at), but that's out of Amy's control. It really is a nice place and we'd definitely recommend it to our friends. We're hoping that we can work it out to come back here every spring break!

Our getaway was awesome! The house is exactly as described and the beach was beautiful! Very short walk to beach access and just a little further walk to shops and restaurants. You have all the basics of what you need in a kitchen & there is even beach and pool toys, towels, carts, and umbrellas. Amy is a great property manager. Super friendly and accomodating! She even made sure one of our lost stuffed pets found his way back home. I would definitely recommend!

 

Great place. Lots of space, clean, good beds and short walk to beach

We had a wonderful stay, but was a little disappointed in the weather. (Not the owners fault). Would have like to have had a heated pool, but overall was a great time!

Thanks a million Amy for sharing your amazing home with us. As soon as we arrived we felt at ease like at our own house. You made sure we know where to go, shop, eat at the best local spots and really enjoy all the beauties that this place has to offer. We loved the pool, beach, all the scenery and how serene it was. We really hope to visit again. You are the best host we ever had!

We had a great time on our vacation and this condo was perfect! It had everything we needed and plenty of room for us and 4 teenage girls. They loved how close it was to the beach as well as having the pool when they got back from the beach. Amy was great to work with and very attentive to all the details. I think we will be going back here in the future!

Amy Baker's reply:

Thank you, Lisa! Y'all are welcome back anytime!!

We had a wonderful time at this condo. We have stayed in houses in the area before, but had to drive to beach access. This condo is within walking distance to the beach with a convenient crosswalk nearby. This location was great, too. It’s close to restaurants, grocery stores and shopping. The condo was spacious and it was supplied with everything we needed and more. Amy was a great communicator, calling us before check-in and checking with us during our stay. We can’t wait to go back!

First off... Amy is AMAZING. Since I booked this vacation in May, we have been in contact. She has went completely above and beyond in making sure our stay was amazing. And it was just that! She offered certain things for our toddler, like a pack n play, high chair ect. So nice! While we were there, we had a few days of bad weather from a unusual front that came south. She texted me quite a few times checking in on us and sending me links to things that we could do in the area! She was so helpful in everything we had questions with. I mean she got back to us so quick! We came to this exact area last year and never talked to the owner of the house we stayed in once! The townhouse was amazing. Lots of steps, but kept up my fitness while eating so badly haha! It was so clean and decorated very nicely. Stocked with all the essentials in the kitchen! She had a wagon and umbrella and toys ready in the storage room. How amazing! We took advantage of that daily !! The pool was awesome and clean and so was the hot tub! We never saw a single bug or anything anywhere in the townhouse. (I hate bugs ha). It is located SO close to the beach. Less than a 5 minute walk. Very secluded and not busy where we have access on the beach. It was seriously such an amazing stay overall between Amy being so attentive, to the cleanliness of house, to the walk to the beach. I can’t give it more stars or I would! Another super cool thing was you park under something so your vehicle always stays clean and dry. (This was my husbands favorite part because he’s very picky about our truck!) I will note that the concrete where you park can be very slippery when wet so just be careful! I would recommend any and everyone to stay there! You won’t regret it ! Santa Rosa is AMAZING, beautiful water and beaches and this townhouse specifically. Can’t go wrong!

We spent two weeks in the area and definitely made the most of what 30A and the surrounding Destin area has to offer. The condo itself was clean, nicely decorated, and fully stocked for everything we could need for a two week beach vacation. The property manager Amy was always readily available for any questions or needs, and her great hospitality was much appreciated. I would highly recommend not only the 30A area but this property as well. It was in the perfect location and there was plenty to do for all ages. We will definitely be back!

We had a wonderful stay! The space had everything we needed. We really appreciated the extras like the wagon and all of the beach toys for the kids. Our kids loved the pool and the walk to the beach was a breeze, even easier than we were expecting with young kids. The beach was never too crowded, even in the peak of summer season. And Amy was so easy to work with, very responsive to messages, and checked in with us during our stay. 

This condo was comfortable, spacious and had everything we needed! The beach was a short walk and the beach storage closet had everything we needed for our small children as well as a beach tent for the days of rain! :) We also enjoyed the gas grills and pool. We also found ourselves walking to the close restaurants and shops a few days. It was nice to have a close option when we didn't want to cook. Amy was great to work with and I appreciated her help from when we booked back in October, until we checked out this past weekend. She even dropped off extra baby items so we didn't have to haul them from Texas. We highly recommend Amy and this unit!

Our stay at The Legends, #307, was one of our most memorable at The Emerald Coast. From the moment I first spoke to Amy, I knew we would be well cared for at Santa Rosa Beach. This was our 7th trip to this area, but our first on 30A. Loved it! Honestly, the property was in need of some new paint, but the area was clean, well maintained (especially the pool), and landscaping was lush. The beds, linens, and couch were super comfy. Little details like liquid soap in the bathrooms were not overlooked. All of the chairs, wagons, pool toys, tennis racquets, sand toys provided kept us from having to haul them here, and were more than adequate. The tent was awesome! Saved us from getting fried at the beach. It was also easy to use. All requests were met with a friendly and helpful attitude. Thank you, Amy! You made us Texans very happy❣️We hope to return someday soon.

We had a great stay and loved how easy it was to get to the beach. Amy was very accessible and helpful!

Amy Baker's reply:

Thank you, Meg. Come back and see us anytime!

Amy was so kind and helpful with our stay! She made herself very available and answered all of our questions! The property was great for our family of 5. We took advantage of the pool, volleyball court, tennis court and grills! The short walk to the beach was perfect. We enjoyed the walks and runs along the 30A trail. Our kids enjoyed every aspect of this trip and kept very active. The condo itself was spacious, had comfortable beds, and was a great space for hanging out and playing games. We hope to be back soon!

This little condo is a hidden gem, and we will be back. It is equipped with everything you could possibly need -- the storage closet with beach toys and accessories is a treasure trove! That cart sure makes packing it all to the beach - which is so very near -- easy. Amy is the most helpful manager I've ever encountered. Everything was great!

We really enjoyed our stay at Legends. The townhouse was very nicely decorated and very clean. Beach was just a short walk away. 
The townhouse was equipped with everything you could possibly need. Great place to stay. Thanks Amy. 

Everything was a pictured. The place was clean and comfortable. Amy got back to us quickly when we had questions. Tenants in the next unit were very nice.

I visited in February with my kids and we loved our stay. The condo is super cute, great location to food, supplies, and the beach plus a pool included with the complex. Relaxing for mom and eventful for kids. I will be booking again and again in the future!

Amy was the best property manager we have met in over 15 years of coming to the Emerald Coast and understood our needs. The extra touches of soaps, extra toilet paper, spices that have been provided, helped us get into this wonderful space.

This condo was a little gem! It was very clean and had all the little things you might not "expect." I am a beach condo owner myself, so my bar is pretty high. This owner and manager met it! The beach items for use were high quality items. I debated on whether or not to take my own beach gear because so many times owners provide cheap crap. NOT HERE! Comfy chairs, a selection of umbrellas, and a very nice beach wagon to tow it all. They had everything covered. The location of this property was excellent. It was convenient to pretty much everything. Also the walk to the beach was super quick. I liked being able to watch the kids swim in the pool from the patio chairs. The beds were comfy, too. I would highly recommend this for a vacation spot.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay here. The condo is clean, beautiful and very well equipped. The beds were so comfy and the layout was just right for our family. The condo is right at the pool and walk to beach is short and easy. I can't say enough nice things about the condo (same as previous reviews!) and Amy Baker could not have been nicer or easier to work with. We've stayed at The Legends several times and this was by far our best experience. Thank you Amy.

This condo is wonderful! Very spacious, clean and well equipt! Since I couldn't find my 4 year old grandson's beach toys before we left Ohio, it was great to find some just waiting for us in the shed. The full size washer and dryer were a blessing. The only dirty clothes that I brought home were the outfits on our backs! All of the neighbors that we had encountered, were very friendly. This is a family oriented complex. Amy is fabulous! From her welcoming note, to checking on us mid-week to see if everything was okay. I HIGHLY recommend this home for anyone visiting the Santa Rosa Beach, Destin area. Hope to be back soon!

I can not say enough great things about this property. The property is very well maintained. Clean, perfectly decorated...not too much, not too little and the beds...OH MY! . The pools are fabulous and the beaches are with out a doubt the most beautiful! The storage area is packed with goodies for making your beach days hassle free. My family has stayed in this area for many years. The peace and quiet is truly astounding. The owner is absolutely a pleasure to deal with and goes the extra mile for anything you might need. I can guarantee you won't be disappointed with this property!

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay in this townhouse. It was clean, comfortable, well-maintained, and very spacious for our family of 5. The property manager was extremely responsive at every step of our stay, and checked in with us regularly. We made great use of the pool (conveniently located downstairs), and beach (5 minute walk), and especially appreciated the beach wagon, chairs, etc. provided by the owners. Nice, family-friendly part of 30A!

This townhouse is in a perfect location with great access to one of the most beautiful beaches with white baby powder sand.
You can also walk to several restaurants to enjoy the area seafood and listen to live music without having to drive.
The townhouse has a great beachy feel and is well stocked with everything you need to cook or bbq. There is a walk in pantry in the kitchen.
Each bedroom has its own bathroom as well as another powder room on the main floor and full size appliances in the laundry room.
The main t.v. in the comfy living room also has tvo so you can record all your favorite programs to watch at the end of a great beach day.
There is a balcony with table and chairs off of the living room to enjoy your coffee in the morning or other meals-overlooking the pool and hot tub and a second balcony off of the master bedroom.
The townhouse is quite spacious and you never feel confined in the large rooms.
 
Amy who manages the property is an amazing resource and a great communicator of all info you need before arriving and she is easily accessable.
We really felt at home staying here and would definitely stay again.
No negative comments-we love it!

Amy Baker's reply:

Thank you for taking the time to offer your feedback. We loved hosting your vacation and I sincerely hope you will return!

The place was clean and cozy... The pool and the hot tub were relaxing. The king suite and tub were perfect..... The balcony was so nice and relaxing it made you never want to leave. Overall a great space in the perfect location. The host was really friendly and accommodating. I would recommend this spot to anyone for a great vacation for a great price.

Thank you for taking the time to review your stay. Please come see us again!

This townhouse is better than in the pictures, nice and roomy, comfortable with new furniture and mattresses and couldn't be cleaner,. Nicely decorated, has that beachy feel . Property and pools well maintained. Loved sitting out on deck over-looking the pool. Great location just across the road from the beach. Easy walking distance to the beach, or shops and restaurants some with entertainment. Property manager Amy couldn't have been more helpful and looked after anything we needed. We had a great vacation and hope to return soon.
