Set 'Great Expectations' in This Beautiful Gulf Front Home

This is our third time staying in the Santa Rosa area and we have found our favorite place. From the way the rooms are laid out, to all the amenities and extras included this is by far our favorite stay at the beach we’ve ever had. The balconies and beach access are perfection. The pool pristine, the house immaculate…not one negative thing to say about this place. Wayne was always immediately available for any of our needs. We had the best week with family and are hoping to come again!

Excellent accommodations made for an amazing beach week! We, (6 girls ) had a perfect, memorable trip!

I cannot rate this property high enough. I wish you could go above ten stars because Great Expectations deserves it. For reference, our stay was for a family of four. The home itself is immaculate and had nearly everything we needed for a week stay. Every room is spacious and all the accommodations are tremendously comfortable. Appliances, furniture, electronics, everything is in tip top shape and functions wonderfully. We have two small children and the main living room is easily adjusted to be very kid friendly and safe. The balcony is an absolute dream to sit on and enjoy the ocean breeze. The pool was sparkling clean and heated to the perfect temperature. Beach access is right out the back door and the included chair and umbrella service was downright luxurious. Location wise, you are steps from the main street, which contains numerous shops and restaurants, but far enough away from the main public beach access that thing felt tremendously private. Wayne was amazing at communication, providing clear summaries ahead of time and fast responses while we were there. We will definitely be coming back!

Great

We stay at a lot of VRBOs and this one really stood out for the easy access to a beautiful beach, views from the comfy deck, generous sized pool, and great setup with 3 ocean side bedrooms. We also loved being able to walk to fun shops and restaurants. The house I would say exceeded my expectations from the pictures alone. High level of attention to details and great communication from Wayne. Loved it!

We thoroughly enjoyed our week at Great Expectations! Perfect location! the “smoothie” maker and ice machine were an unexpected treat. I would highly recommend this property!

WAYNE WAS EXCELLENT TO WORK WITH AND MADE OUR TWO WEEK STAY CELEBRATING OUR 50TH ANNIVERSARY WITH FAMILY VERY ENJOYABLE PROPERTY WAS EXCELLENT AND EXACTLY AS REPRESENTED

This is a beautiful property and perfect for families. We really enjoyed having the private pool and mostly private beach. We would consider renting this home again.

This home is conveniently located within walking distance to shops and restaurants. It's direct Beach access means there are beautiful views of the blue waters of the gulf. The 5 bedrooms, with multiple beds in 2 of the rooms, makes it great for groups with kids. The property manager was great to work with. He was very responsive to communications. I expressed my concerns to him regarding the cleanliness of the home and condition of some items on the property and he called promptly to discuss these concerns.

Our stay was one which our family will remember forever. The house accomodated our family of 15 which included 4 kids and spouses and 6 grandkids ranging in ages from 1 to 11. Having the beach out the backdoor was a huge plus along with the pool for late evening swims with the grandkids. Plan on buying some TP, dishwasher soap packets, and trash bags to get you through the week.
