Abode Kenmare

We enjoyed this space to call home for a few days. The kitchen and grills was well equipped for cooking, which we did. It was a 10 minute walk to an entry path to a public beach, Gulfview Heights.

We were staying for my wife's cousins wedding, this was only my second time in Florida as i am more of a mountain, west coast fan. But our stay at Santa Rosa Beach was incredible. Starting with our arrival at this beautiful home! It was extremely clean, very spacious and decorated beautifully. I definitely want to come back again and hopefully the surf fishing will be a little better. Regardless there were many other locations that were perfect for fishing despite the bad surf. Thank you so much for such a wonderful stay and we will definitely be back again!!!! I will need to look to see if they have handicap accommodations as i would love to bring my son and his wife, who is in a wheelchair, paralyzed from waist down.... 10 out of 10 for our trip!

Unfortunately we did not have time to play a free round of golf for one person for each day of our stay but it is a great perk. We travel a lot and spend a lot of time on 30A.

The home was very clean, stocked with kitchen supplies, and located within walking distance from the beach. The brief encounters we had with management were very friendly, personable and professional (wish I had got the ladies name). We briefly parked on the street after unloading some beach gear and an unknown neighbor called in to management to complain about the vehicle on the street and one single beach float on the ground beside the van after we unloaded. Although this was a petty complaint by an unknown person, the staff handled it exceptionally well and called me to let me know about this issues so that we could properly handle them. I suppose the van could have been towed and we could have been fined for the beach float on the ground even if it was for a short amount of time. Staff didn’t issue fines or tow, they called me to handle it first. We would absolutely recommend this home, and the staff for anyone’s vacation in the area! Well done!

The property was really all we could ask for and more! We stayed with our friends and their kids, so a total of 4 adults and 3 kids ages 1-3. There was plenty of space for everyone! Lots of room for the kids to play, big table, nice kitchen, everything is laid out well. The location is spectacular. A very short walk to the beach which we made numerous times, or an easy drive. Get to the access early for a parking spot, because those go fast! The pools are not busy and are very accessible to the house. Nice neighborhood, beautiful weather, great access to shops and restaurants. One tiny note: the property is very "bare" when you get there, so you need to buy or bring your own laundry detergent, dishwasher packets, coffee filters, etc. There were only 2 dish towels. We ended up purchasing a non-stick skillet because most of the frying pans available were extremely scratched. Plenty of bath towels though, and great water pressure!

Located about a 10 minute walk from the beach-this Hidden Lake home is a great find. It is midway thru the neighborhood and at a corner which boasts easy access. Features a wrap around porch where we sat everyday. The inside has a nice layout and is perfect for cooking and engaging with your family. It is a Tommy Bahama meets Japanese fusion theme. We all loved the space and the way the rooms were set up. * The only negative would be the comfort of the queen and twin beds upstairs. And the one thing missing would have been a regular toaster if there was one we did not see it. Overall we would definitely rent here again.
