The house was amazing and was perfect for a relaxing vacation. Very comfortable and the proximity to the water is the best! Great location and views.

Property: Gone Coastal

Gone Coastal was perfect for our 2 families, including 4 adults and 4 teens. Great location, right on the beach, and just across the street from the lake. Another bonus is that it’s less than a mile from Buddy’s where we purchased fresh seafood for dinner nearly every night. Lastly, Joy was a fantastic host!

Joy is a fantastic property manager. She responded almost immediately if I needed to contact her. We had a wonderful week at Gone Coastal in Santa Rosa Beach!

Property: Gone Coastal

We loved the location of this home because it was away from the busier parts of Seaside and Rosemary but still a bike ride away. The beach is just outside the door and the home came with its own beach chairs and umbrellas. The linens were nice and the kitchen was well equipped. The property manager was great to work with and was kind and quick to respond. A great trip!

Property: Gone Coastal

We could not have loved it more! The house was set up perfectly for our two families! So cozy and spacious and equipped with EVERYTHING we needed! Beachfront was phenomenal, and we felt right in the middle of all the great 30A attractions without being surrounded by crowds. Joy was exceptional with her communication. We have vacationed here since our son was born 6 years ago, and this was our favorite trip so far! Highly recommend this private little slice of paradise!

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Very Nice duplex although seems like its own house. Nicely decorated and well appointed. We had a couple of issues but Joy was so on top of it that we have absolutely no complaints. I do not think there is a better beach on the gulf coast. This is such a nice area because it is all houses and therefore the beach is not crowded at all. Great places to eat nearby. We will definitely stay here on our next trip down.

The house was exactly as advertised (very nice!) and the customer service from Joy at Elite 30A was top-notch. We can't wait to stay at Gone Coastal again!

This property was absolutely incredible. Perfect for our group (6 adults, 6 small kids, 2 infants). Right on the beach, house has a great lay out, kitchen is fully stocked, amazing deck areas with a swing and chairs with fantastic views, etc. Joy was absolutely incredible to work with. She supplied high chairs, baby gates, beach buckets for our kids, and beach totes for the parents. Anything we had questions on or needed, she was so quick to respond. We’ve stayed on 30A for 6 years now, and we plan to always rent this property from Here on outl!!

Joy was so easy to work with and had good suggestions. We would love to come back soon.

This house was the perfect fit for my family of 3 adults and 7 kids. Everyone had plenty of space. The beds are very comfortable and the house had everything you could need. The beach felt private because there weren’t many people around. I can’t say enough good about the house and it’s location. Also, the property manager was always available and very helpful.

One of the best spots on the beach. Elite30a are a joy to work with also. I could text or call and would get info quickly and efficiently. The ladies were so friendly and helpful. I think it is a smaller company so the personal experience is exceptional.

Property: Gone Coastal

‘Gone coastal’ was everything our family of 10 (8 adults and 2 infants/toddlers) could have envisioned. With 4 full bedrooms and 3.5 baths, we had plenty of room to spare, and we expect this location to continue to be accommodating to our ever-growing family. The best attribute of this property is the location! Literally, ON THE BEACH! (Which is not always the case with VRBO ‘beach-front’ properties). The second-best attribute was the recently renovated interior. Outfitted to the nines, great appliances, and tastefully decorated. And what tops both of the above, was the property manager, Joy! She looked after our every need. She met us at check-in, and even returned hours later as the ceiling fan remote control was missing a 12V battery....she was absolutely incredible! We set up our own beach chairs umbrellas every day and were at least 100 feet from our closest beach neighbors. Because this property is situated between East Lake and the Gulf, and is at least 10+ properties in either direction from a multiplex, there is little intrusion on the beach front; and securing your spot is simple. Only aspects I could wish to be improved upon would be a full bath on the first floor, a common half-bath on second floor(instead of using bedroom’s bathroom), and a bath tub (for infants/toddlers), but these are beyond MINOR in comparison to above. 5 stars across the board! We hope to return every year.

Perfect house in the perfect 30A location. Cannot beat the proximity to the water. The only negative was having to leave on Saturday and head back to reality. Will definitely be back.

Great House for 3 families! Note there are no bathtubs only showers if you very young kids.

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Gone Coastal was absolutely amazing! The property was a mirror image of the site pictures. The location was perfect (literal steps to the beach). The view was captivating! The property was very clean and well maintained. Joy, property manager was delightful to work with (her friendliness, professionalism, assistance and area knowledge were invaluable). Joy is the reason that I booked Gone Coastal in February. I'd recommend Joy/Elite30a to any and/all and sing her praises to the sky. We mostly enjoyed the beach. The water, powder sugar sand, sunsets were mesmerizing. We enjoyed The Grayton Brewery, Pizza Bar and Dawson's ice cream (our daughters visited three times). It was a magical week, full of happy, family memories! We hope to visit again in the future! Thank you, Joy! :)

I have been vacationing on 30A since I was kid (80's, early 90's), we always stayed in Seaside proper as it was the only place developed at the time. In the last several years, we have branched out and stayed in Seagrove, Watercolor, all the way to Rosemary and everything in between. The bottom line, we love the area. We stumbled upon this gem in December. Here's the deal, you can find a beautiful and well-equipped vacation home anywhere on 30A, but what you can't find is one that is literally on the beach. This completely renovated and tastefully decorated home has three levels. The first level is a bunk-room. Our kids and their cousins loved this spacious room. They played games, watched movies and had their own space. There is a laundry room on this level and an extra fridge. (major bonus for all of the food/drinks) The second level (main level with a master bedroom) has a million dollar view. The wall of windows and balcony are AMAZING. About a mile away is Buddy's Seafood Market, it is the perfect place to buy everything you need for a shrimp/seafood feast. We highly recommend doing this and enjoying dinner on the balcony overlooking the white sand and ocean. The 3rd level has 2 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms. My parents stayed in the master bedroom with the balcony. We stayed in the other bedroom and it was perfect. Beds were comfortable, high-end bedding and we appreciated the fact that there were 2 twin beds also in the room, just in case one of our daughters decided to sleep in the room with us...which happened almost every night. We plan on coming back this summer and can't wait to relax on the beach without the daily burden of schlepping all of our gear back and forth. If you have ever had the experience of doing this while juggling ice chests, life vests and beach gear (holding a child and dodging traffic) you will understand why this house deserves more than 5 stars.

Property: Gone Coastal

Such an amazing home! The view, the porch and the access to the beach are all great. Plus it's in the perfect location, so close to everywhere you want to go on 30A. The furniture and linens are comfortable and inviting. It's the perfect place for family getaways. You will make memories here that will last forever! We found everything to be just as described...even better. We highly recommend this beautiful home for your upcoming vacation.

Property: Gone Coastal

This property is AMAZING! It has everything you could ever need for a relaxing, luxury vacation, even with the kids! It was immaculate and the interior was obviously renovated to feel luxurious without sacrificing comfort, which I consider critical! Typically, I will spend every waking hour on the beach during vacation but because the house was SO CLOSE (as in approx. 6 steps to the sand and maybe 40 to the water) I felt like I could enjoy all the beauty, breeze, smells and sounds of the water from the comfort of the back porch swing when I wanted. It was so close and the view is completely unrestricted. My kids could play on the beach while momma relaxed in the swing with her glass of wine! (We've all been there and needed that ten minutes of peace at the end of a day and feel confident our children are being safe) We have stayed multiple times in this area and have never enjoyed a house the way we did this one. As a former restaurant owner, few houses have functional kitchens that are well equipped for heavy use. NOT this one!! It had everything I would expect to need and not the "cheap" pans many owners use! High end, heavy duty kitchen necessities! We loved biking to Seaside and playing in the lake which is like getting a two for one deal on vacations for those who prefer shallow, calm water! I normally don't write reviews. I hate to have to explain my personal expectations, which my husband say are unrealistic, to potential future guests, but I honestly jumped at the opportunity to give this house the praise it deserves! The best vacation for me is when I can have my whole family in the same house for a week without any complaints!! NOT ONE! Needless to say, we have already booked this house for our girls trip and next family vacation - Thank you for proving my husband wrong and meeting MY EXPECTATIONS OF AN AMAZING VACATION HOME!!!

Property: Gone Coastal

This house was absolutely perfect! It has all the amenities one needs to have a fabulous and fun stay on the beach. You cannot beat the view from the deck as you sit on the swing and watch the sun set and I loved the private beach access. The rooms were very clean, inviting, beautifully decorated and very comfortable; I honestly felt like this was my "home away from home" as everything I needed was at my fingertips! I love the layout of the house, as every floor has enough space for both sleeping and just hanging out and having fun! Although we love dining out at some of the local spots (highly recommend Bruno's Pizza), on those occasions that we wanted to stay in and cook, we picked up some groceries at the local market and kitchen was nicely equipped with all utensils, baking/cookware that we needed. This place is beautiful, very well maintained and perfect for that beach vacation getaway! Highly recommend this property and we will definitely be going back again!!

Reviewer Comments: We had a perfect stay at Going Coastal! The house was perfect for our family of 6 (5 adults and 1 child) This was our 2nd stay in this house and Elite 30 A could not have made it better. Aside form the great house and location to to beach, Joy made sure we had everything we needed. She had a repairman come the day we told her that the ice maker wasn't working and all was repaired and fixed and we had ice the following day.

The house itself is perfect...family gathering areas are wonderful, and the short distance to pool, tennis courts, and beach cannot be beat. Only way this house could be more perfect is if it were ON the beach but the 3 minute walk is totally fine and the beaches are pristine so it doesn't matter and worth the short walk!!!

Already booked to come back next year!!

This property and community were both amazing! I have stayed many places in the area along 30A and this property stands at the top! The house design is perfect for families and the amenities and living space indoor and out are fabulous! Everything in the house is top notch and the location within the community couldn’t be better. The property manager was so friendly, available and helpful and checked in multiple times just to see if we were enjoying our stay! I highly recommend this property and would stay here again anytime!

The downstairs kitchen, living room and dining room were so spacious for all of us. We enjoyed the the seating on the porch and balcony. The ice maker was a great bonus. The gas grill was helpful since we ate all our meals at the house. Normally we would dine out for dinner. Since we had so many groceries, the refrigerator was jam packed. The courtesy soaps and shampoos were a nice touch. Joy at Elite 30A was great to work with and very responsive.

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We had the absolute BEST time at Going Coastal. Have stayed at Carillon in the past and this was our favorite stay. Joy was wonderful to work with very flexible on the front end before we arrived and responsive if we needed anything during our stay. The house was PERFECT...great location to walking to the beach, beautifully appointed, decorated, clean, comfortable beds and the best covered porches to hang out on. Our only complaint or suggestion is the house could use better pans and those seemed old and scratched and not great for use. In fact we felt the need to go buy our own omelette pan so that we didn't have black pan scrapings in the pan . Other than the pans (very replaceable!) this was an exceptional stay. Even the weather held out for us!!!!

Our extended family stayed in the house over spring break. There were 8 of us, and the house accommodated us very well. This is one of the only VRBO homes we’ve rented where the two master suites seemed truly equal in size and amenities. Due to the COVID 19 pandemic, we made every meal at the house, and the kitchen was FABULOUS! The house has pretty much everything you need to cook most meals. There is also lots of cupboard space for storing groceries. We especially loved unloading beach towels and gear everyday in the awesome, little room off of the kitchen. The outdoor shower worked great for washing off sand and cleaning up beach toys. The laundry room was much appreciated, as we were able to wash beach and bath towels throughout the week. The beach is just a very short walk down the street, and the house comes with four beach chairs. All of the people in this gated community were extremely friendly, and the place just oozes Southern charm. We would definitely rent this house again in a heartbeat. The only real downside we encountered is the tiny back porch where the grill is located. We generally sit around outside visiting while we are grilling, and there was no space for that. Suggestions for homeowners: Please add more towel racks or hooks in the bathrooms and leave 3 rolls of TP for each bathroom for a week’s stay. Otherwise, the home was quite lovely, and we had a great time! We hope to return soon when the world is not turned upside-down by Corona virus. Thank You for the Hospitality!
