What an amazing property ! Our family of 10 thoroughly enjoyed all of the space, the pool, the hot tub and the close proximity to the beach. We really appreciated the owners and their hospitality.
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
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.
Pat was a fantastic host. The house was perfect for our family gathering. Clean and had all the amenities we needed. Was close to beach access and all shopping.
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!!
Pat & John were wonderful local hosts that ensured the smallest of details. Great love went into this home and it is Beautiful. The Pool & Spa were Amazing & the Koi Pond was a Hit.
We enjoyed our stay & hope one day to be back again.
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. The home was supplied with all the amenities necessary for our stay. Beautiful inside and out! Thank you so much.
A great place for a family vacation. Loved the private beach accessibility and the location is nice and quiet. The pool area is perfect for a family party.
The private beach access was fantastic - not crowded at all and pristine white sand with gorgeous turquoise water. Host was fantastic to communicate with and house was exactly as pictured! We walked to the beach or parked in a nearby spot along the road. This area of 30A seems like the least crowded which we loved.
Our hosts went above and beyond to accommodate our stay. Plenty of room for the kids to run and play outside and close to everything! We will definitely stay here again!
My husband and I enjoyed our winter break from cold weather while enjoying this beautiful property. Location was perfect and property was exactly as it appeared in pictures. Owners are lovely and were so kind during our stay. We will definitely stay again in the future!
This home was perfect for our family. The living area was open and spacious and the bedrooms were plenty spacious and comfortable. We cooked several meals and had everything we needed to prepare them. Our favorite thing was the backyard area with swimming pool. Plenty of chairs for lounging, great pool and deck as well as a yard that our dogs could use to run and play. Owners were very responsive and available for all of our questions.
We had a wonderful time at Gulf Pearl. The house was spacious and well equipped, even sharp knives. We loved the outdoor space and the quiet neighborhood. We’ll definitely be back!
This house was perfect for our family of five and large pup! It was so spacious and comfortable. Super clean, well stocked and beautiful. Our kids are all in agreement that this was their favorite beach rental we have stayed in, and they are probably at 20+ beach trips! Great communication! We would be thrilled to come back!
Amazing house with an amazing location. Close to beach access with beaches that aren’t overcrowded. Great yard for a dog. Warm pool was perfect for morning swims before going to the beach in the afternoon. Would stay again!
Amazing week, pool was awesome, proximity to the beach, Tom was incredibly responsive to any concern we had, we will definitely be back. Incredible value.
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.
My husband, sister-in-law and myself had a great time staying at this location. The house looked just like the pictures. The host was very responsive and helpful to my inquiries. Having our own private pool was a great treat. Would definitely recommend.

About the host
Hosted by Pat & Jon Huenemann
We fell in love with the 30 A area in 2012 and moved here full time.
Why they chose this property
If you want to be south of 30A and stay in a home that is luxurious with ocean views, this is the home for you! At the end of the street is the 18 mile bike trail that lines the gulf called 30A. The house has a beautiful heated pool/spa and everything you need for an amazing vacation. This is our personal home and we put all the special touches in that you will love. The Koi pond with goldfish and a catfish that you cross when you enter the home is a special treat. We are leaving bikes for free.
What makes this property unique
On the quiet side of 30 A you have easy access to a Walmart, the outlet mall, and Destin. You are close to Gulf Place and barbecue restaurant which is a walk away. Gulf place is a mile away for more restaurants and fun.
