Short Walk to the Beach! 'Casita Blanca'

Cancellation options available, see contract for full policy prior to booking.

**We wanted to inform you that there is ongoing construction near our home**

If you find yourself searching for the perfect place to spend a family vacation this year, then look no further than Casita Blanca! This beautiful home is in a prime location in a quiet, family-oriented neighborhood and is the perfect place to experience everything the gulf has to offer. Spend mornings sipping coffee on the incredible porches before riding a bike into Gulf Place for breakfast. It will be a short walk to the beach from there to enjoy the silky white sands of 30A and get some sun, as well as the community pool.

The beautiful home features three bedrooms and two and a half baths allowing everyone to have plenty of space. There is a bunk room which features 1 full over full bunk bed and a flat screen. This could be the perfect room for the kids or adults alike! The master suite features a king-sized bed and plenty of open space to feel like a true retreat. Additionally, the home features another queen bedroom.

As you make your way upstairs to the living room, you will find it features plenty of seating with two sofas (one is a queen sleeper) and two comfy chairs. There is also a large flat screen for your viewing pleasure to watch the big game. If unplugged evenings are more your speed, enjoy a good book or board games with the family.

The kitchen is fully equipped with stainless appliances, perfect for preparing a family meal and eating al fresco on the incredible porches. The second level of the home features a wraparound porch with 2 sitting areas with an outdoor sectional, Adirondack chairs and a daybed swing! It’s the perfect place to kick back and relax after a fun-filled day at the beach and read a book! There is also an upper deck, which features amazing panoramic views of 30A and the gulf. Imagine watching the sun rise and set or just seeing the sights from this great vantage point. The home also features a grill if you are prepared to get your barbecue on!

Having a location so close to Gulf Place allows for endless opportunity. There are many great restaurants in close range such as Shunk Gulley and Sunrise Coffee Shop. The new Publix grocery store is 3 miles away on Highway 98 making running errands and shopping convenient. The Santa Rosa Golf and Beach Club, an 18-hole semi-private course, is within a half mile from the house. It is the only course in the Destin area with two holes backing up to the Gulf of Mexico. The club was named the 'Readers’ Choice' award by Florida Golf Magazine. You are also close to the awesome community pool and some of the most beautiful beaches in the world!

Exactly As Advertised
Had a great stay here with friends for a short beach vacation. Property as advertised. Conveniently located near a gas station for emergency purchases. 5min walk to the beach. Comfy living room, working grill, and kitchen with all the pots and pans you need. Things that could be improved: there is no basic seasonings provided like salt and pepper, only one roll of toilet paper for every bathroom regardless of stay length, only 2 patio chairs on the rooftop for a property that holds many people, construction noise in the morning, and the outside shower was broken and in-operable. Overall an amazing stay with everything we needed without many hiccups. 5 stars, stay here and enjoy your time with friends and family:)

Property was good. Indoor area was great for our family. Outdoor area could use some attention since the outdoor furniture had mold and mildew on it and really wasn’t usable. Management company was very responsive to issue but there was not a quick solution for the problem. Great area for sure.

Great House Great Location
The house was very nice. Clean and plenty spacious for our family. All bedrooms on the same level (downstairs), which is great for families with small children. Common space upstairs, which is great for not disturbing sleeping guests. Outside porches were very nice with plenty of seating. Location, relative to public beach access, was wonderful. Could easily walk if you have a wagon or don't mind carry your gear. Renting a golf cart is also a great option. Would definitely stay here again.

Great house in a lovely neighborhood!
We have stayed in multiple properties in this neighborhood and this is one we will come back to for sure. The bedrooms were spacious and the beds were great. We really loved the enclosed porch were our children could play safely. There was some construction going on behind the house, but the disruption was very limited and certainly the owners can’t control the property behind them.

Excellent location, the house was very nice. it would be nice to have outside dinning and a fire pit. The porch swing is nice we enjoyed it very much all though the fabric needs to be cleaned. Beds were very comfortable, and the bedding was clean. The shower head in the master bedroom needs something because the pressure and direction isn't great. overall I would definitely stay at this property again.

Great Stay!!
We had a great time and loved the house! There was plenty of room and the layout worked great for our group. The location is perfect and it is a short walk to the beach. We also LOVED the outdoor shower, it was so easy to clean the kids off before going inside. The only suggestion would be for better fitted sheets for the bunk room. The sheets did not fit and it was a tangled mess every morning. Also, it would have been great to have chairs on the rooftop to enjoy the sunset. Other than that, it was a great stay! We highly recommend it to families with kids!

Great!
My husband and I and the couple we were with had a great stay here. The location is amazing- 5 min walk to a very quiet beach with gorgeous homes on it, and close to some of our favorite 30A restaurants (3 min drive to Shunk Gulley!). The house itself was nice-- there was some typical rental wear on it, but a great crash pad with nice outdoor space. The neighborhood pool was nice to have also-- we even met the sweet HOA manager who was very welcoming. We're a pretty easy to please bunch, but the *only* issue we had was that they only provided one roll of crappy toilet paper per bathroom, one roll of crappy paper towels, and two garbage bags. Definitely not enough for a 5 night stay. We had to buy extras from Publix.

Perfect beach house! With outside shower! It’s a little bit of a walk to the beach, so we decided to rent a golf cart which was a very easy process! Quick golf cart ride and the kids loves it. Check in and out was easy. No issues with the house at all. House was a good size for two families. Would definitely recommend.

Great house in a great location
We come down to Santa Rosa each summer and have stayed in this neighborhood several times -- it is a great location that is very convenient to a quiet part of the beach. This house was perfect for our family of four. It is very comfortably decorated and the kids loved the porch and widow's walk on the roof. The property manager was very communicative and helpful as well. We would definitely stay here again.

False advertising
Positives: clean, safe, AC worked, good location Negatives: garbage disposal and lights and vent in toilet closet didn't Work. The worst negative was that we paid for house to Accommodate 10 guests, however there was only space for 8, Which included the 2 sofas in the living room, which were supposed to convert to sleepers, but did not. The biggest disappointment was the removal of 1 set of bunk beds shown in Advertisement. This caused some of the guests to have to Double up, which was very uncomfortable and not what we paid For. I feel that I am owed some refund of the rental price, which I paid for sleeping arrangements for 10 guests and rental only comfortably accommodated 8 guests with 2 sleeping on living room couches.

Poor Maintenance and No Ocean View
The house is beautifully decorated and modern. But the description on VRBO site stated that we would enjoy a gulf view, only steps from the beach. Obviously, "steps" is a vague term, and yes I should have asked more questions. But that doesn't make it ok for the rental company to be knowingly deceptive with their description. The property manager admitted straight away, that the trees had grown taller over the years, obstructing the ocean view that was once there. Additionally, the freezer was broken and the electrical system in the master bathroom was partially out of commission. There was an exposed live socket with no bulb, disconnected outlets and light fixtures, leaving us to use a flashlight in the water-closet. (Toilet) No attempts were made to repair these things during our stay, although property management did drop off 1 bag of ice for us. The ice melted in the freezer....as did our frozen beverages. Management indicated that they were aware of the problems prior to our visit, and that's really the only reason for the negative review. We made the best of it. No view, no frozen cocktails, but we did enjoy touring the Santa Rosa Beach area. We scouted for better places to stay on our next visit, and found plenty that had better beach views and access for the same price.

Good rental, bad bed
I'll start with the good. Overall, we enjoyed our stay and would recommend this rental. The house is just as beautiful as the photos, the neighborhood is something out of a movie, its not too far from the beach, kitchen is well equipped. I was impressed that all three showers could be going at once and that we never seemed to run out of hot water, a huge plus for those of us that like to take steamy showers. Air conditioning was not a problem, I read in another review that the upstairs gets hot. That was not the case, so I'm thinking they fixed that! Another plus of the rental was the bikes! They were not listed online so it was a nice surprise to have them there! Some things that need attention: The king bed in the master suite is worse than sleeping on the floor. I didn't sleep well one night, seriously it is the worst bed I have ever slept on. The property owner should look into investing into a better bed. There were two floor mats in the closet, we put those on the bed in an attempt to make it more comfortable. All of the other beds were fine, including the pull out bed upstairs. The white couch could use a new cover and regular washing. It's GROSS looking. Same goes for the outside furniture and swing. We ran into a few maintenance problems during our stay, most of them were fixed right away. The light in the master bathroom wasn't working, they needed to schedule an electrician to do the work and the washing machine quit working towards the end of our trip. I'm sure both of these items have been fixed. Note: The kitchen is upstairs, the grill is downstairs. It's extremely inconvenient and a pain to go up and down the stairs while trying to prepare dinner. If you are planning on eating in, maybe keep meals that include grilling off your menu. Overall we enjoyed our stay, especially for the price we payed! I know I mentioned some cons, but the good out weighed the bad for us....but seriously, get a new bed for the master suite.
