This is an absolutely beautiful property. It was plenty big for our group of six and would easily accommodate eight persons. The master suite on the main floor is a work of art I find it hard to travel for a week or longer and find any comfort in hotel rooms. This was like being in my own home, having sufficient room, being able to come and go as we pleased with all the amenities. We were able to all be on our own schedule, eating breakfast whenever we got up, go out to the pool whenever we wanted, watch whatever we wanted on television. One little thing that most travelers might not appreciate, but the lighting in this house was nice and bright, not dim and yellow or bulbs burnt out. Lighting is one of my of my pet peeves. We loved the pace in Santa Rosa. A little slower and less hectic. But also more options than staying in Alys Beach or Rosemary Beach. Plenty of beach access although parking is lacking everywhere not just Santa Rosa. And although we always wanted to go to Destin, Destin is much bigger and more commercialized/franchised. We also liked Miramar. All the restaurants have their own quaint little flair. The LSV was very helpful and easy to use. Also nice to have beach chairs and umbrellas provided. The only other thing to prepare for in the summer months is the traffic. It moves rather slowly along the coastal roadways. And lastly, the hosts are amazing. Always ready to answer questions or offer advice on local attractions. GO AND ENJOY WORRY-FREE!
