Beautiful 5BR home, private beach access 20 yards from front door near pool.

Great host and a beautiful home!! We love this neighborhood and the private beach access is incredibly close. We picked up a low country boil from goat feather right around the corner and ate it on the beach for dinner- best part!

A beautiful, comfortable beach house. Everything perfect. We appreciate the thoughtful details and especially the well-stocked kitchen. It's convenient to the beach AND Drayper Lake. What a beautiful setting!!! Many thanks, Karin.

Love this part of the country- one of our favorite places

My family spent a week at Karin's house on Old Florida Beach and it was absolutely spectacular. The house is spacious and comfortable and had absolutely ever amenity/appliance/accessory we could possibly want or need. The distance to the beach is unbeatable, and the proximity to the Draper Lake tide pool was great for the smaller kids who were a bit intimidated by the ocean. The neighborhood is lovely and quiet, the community pool is a delight (and heated!). The location along 30A is amazing (I could eat at the Snack Shack every day!) and I loved walking and biking around the area. The top floor has incredible views and the most comfortable day bed. If I could live here forever, I would!

This is our third time staying in Old Florida Beach. Great area for vacationing. Our house was located close to the beach with easy access to boardwalk. The home was laid out well and worked for our family. The upstairs room where our son slept did get hot most days so that took a little adjusting and we ended up utilizing a fan to help cool him down at night. The house was easy to access, but the keys only worked for the front door. While this wasn’t a major problem, it was a minor inconvenience due to the showers to rinse off from the beach we’re located on the side/back of the home closer to the back door. Overall, our stay was good and we recommend going to Old Florida Beach area for future vacations.

Great location! The house was fully stocked for cooking, and even the bathrooms had hand soaps! The house was big enough to get away from each other yet allowed for great family dinners and chats. The amount of towels was a god sent! The pool was wonderful! Beautiful house! Great host!!!

This was my family’s 3rd year in a row visiting Santa Rosa for an early summer vacation. This house, by far, has been the best home we’ve stayed in. It had everything we needed from spacious bedrooms to comfortable living areas. The balconies on each floor and the covered porch downstairs were perfect for relaxing on after a long day at the beach. Speaking of which, the beach was literally steps away down a private access pathway tucked away in the gated community. It was a marvel to see all of the beautifully designed homes within the community. The people in the neighborhood were friendly and great restaurants were within walking distance. We will certainly return to Sugar Shack in the coming years.

What a beautiful property. The first thing I’d note is it has everything promised. What stands out is the quality of the everything. We spent a lot of time in the kitchen cooking as a family. The knives, pans, dishes, etc. are first rate not some second hand or leftovers like you see at a lot of places. You can grill - Weber - cook, bartend, or whatever and everything you need is there - even an ice maker. Second thing I’d note, like everyone we are looking on Google pre-trip. I thought the house - being across the street from beach access - would be a bit of a walk. google is misleading on this. It felt way closer to me than it looks online. This relieved my only pre-trip concern - how to lug all the kid stuff back and forth. Really no issue at all. It’s also much closer in person to the little shopping area. I short, easy walk. All in, this is a beautiful beach home, with quality of everything you need (did I mention the beach towels?) and want. Our family - Mom, dad, and five kids had plenty of space and had a wonderful week. I would absolutely return and it was well worth the money we spent.

My family and I have been staying in Old Florida Beach for the better part of 13 years. We love the area and love the neighborhood. This was our first year staying at Sugar Shack and we found it enjoyable! The house is large enough that our 4 kids (3 being teenagers) had space to go be alone and the common area downstairs welcomes plenty of space for all of us to hang out. We enjoyed the games and puzzles on rainy days and Karin’s garage is very well stocked with beach toys and nice bikes! The beds were all very comfy and the master tub is fantastic! The beach access is directly across the street, however it takes you closer to the Draper Lake tide pool, so we opted to walk just down the street to the other access, which is closer to the chair set ups. Not a bad walk either way. The outdoor spicket in the front yard came in handy hiding off toys, feet, coolers and chairs.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay! The house is exactly as the pictures make it seem. It's well decorated and comfortable. We found everything we needed in the kitchen. Access to beach and pool was great. If you are looking for a quiet, easy beach trip this house is wonderful. There was a seasonal shallow lagoon(may 2ft deep) at the end of the boardwalk. We weren't quite sure about it at first, but it was PERFECT for younger kids to play in and close enough to the beach that we could keep our eyes on them. They caught crabs in it and played for hours with new friends. Already looking forward to our next stay!
