We had the absolute best time! This was our first time staying in Santa Rosa. We usually stay in Destin, Sandestin, or Panama. We wanted more of a small-town feel, and this was perfect! Coming in peak season, I was worried about crowds on the beaches but quickly found that Gulfview Heights Beach Access was the best and was just a golf cart ride away. Blue Mountain Beach Access is very small, and I would not recommend setting up for a beach day there during peak season. We also could not spend much on food, and Walmart and Publix were just a short 10 minutes away for cooking in the house. The house was a dream, and the layout of the subdivision made you feel like you were surrounded by the woods, along with the trails that lead out to the state forest for walks. Also, the pool was absolutely amazing, and at peak season, it never ever felt crowded. We drove to Seacrest and Seaside one day, and I can tell you we were so happy we stayed in Santa Rosa. The crows there and traffic in peak season were unbearable. I cannot recommend this place enough! It was such a joy to stay here, and I hope we can stay here again one day.
