2 Mins to the Gulf, Sleeps 10, Seagrove Beach + Free Attraction Tickets!

South of 30A on a tree-lined, gated dead-end street, Emerald Rose is a wonderful beach house offering easy access to sugar-sand beaches, two community pools, the state forest, and the 19-mile bike/walk/run trail. Just across the street, Greenway Station has restaurants, coffee shops, bike rentals, and shopping, while the quiet, sought-after neighborhood of Summer’s Edge provides direct access to the beach via a private easement. Chair rentals are available at the end of the walkover, making the beach just a short walk from the house.

Emerald Rose is designed for comfort and privacy. The main living area is on the second floor, featuring nine-foot ceilings, abundant natural light, a newly renovated kitchen, and two decks. The living area includes two couches (one pullout), a large-screen TV (YouTube TV), a half bath, and spaces for dining, from a cozy café table to a formal dining area that seats six to eight. The updated kitchen has ample cabinetry, high-end appliances, and a breakfast bar for two. The upstairs balcony offers a sunny retreat with seating, and the tranquil master bedroom features balcony access, a walk-in closet, and a private bathroom with a large shower.

On the first floor, a screened-in porch spans the width of the house, providing fresh coastal air and the occasional sound of Gulf waves. There’s a TV and play area for kids, a queen bedroom with TV, and a kids’ bedroom with twin-over-twin bunk beds and a renovated bathroom with tub/shower combo. A second master bedroom with a king bed and private bathroom completes the first floor.

Emerald Rose sits on North Ryan Drive. Turn right to reach the pools and beach, or turn left to access the bike/walking trail and Greenway Station. The tree-lined street is safe and welcoming for children to play and ride bikes. Owned by the same family for 21 years, pride of ownership is evident in the relaxed, comfortable atmosphere, and the owners consider Emerald Rose “home,” even while living in Cincinnati.

30A’s 19-mile bike/walk/run trail is just at the end of the street! By foot, by bike, or by car, you can enjoy all that 30A has to offer. Seaside is 2.2 miles from Emerald Rose’s door, and Summer’s Edge at mile marker 12 puts Rosemary Beach, Alys Beach, WaterColor, Grayton Beach, and more within easy reach. Explore the state parks, coastal dune lakes, and Eden Gardens (four miles away), with Destin and Panama City just a 30-minute drive.

* Parking for 2 cars
* Golf carts are not allowed in the Summer's Edge community.
* Sorry, no pets allowed.

A starter set of amenities is provided: The kitchen includes paper towels, a sponge, dish soap, dishwasher pods, kitchen wipes, trash liners, and laundry pods. Each bathroom has toilet paper, facial and bath soaps, body wash, shampoo, and conditioner. Towels include one body towel and washcloth per guest, plus two hand towels per bathroom.

Worst Management Company

We received a text saying that if we wanted to check in early if the rental was ready for a $65 fee. Fine, we would have paid that. Never got a message saying that the rental was ready. We went ahead to the property to see if it was ready around 3:30. It was, but we still couldn’t get in until 4:01. Then we tried to wash clothes and the washing machine started flooding the floor and wouldn’t drain. I texted the company and they said that they were waiting on a part from a third party vendor. Come to find out that the washing machine wasn’t working before we arrived. It would have been nice to have known that beforehand so we could’ve packed more clothes. Had to go up to the rental office to get more bath towels since we couldn’t wash clothes after calling/texting 3 times to get towels. The washer never got fixed and we had to wash some clothes in the bathtub just to have some decent smelling clothes to wear. Needless to say that we won’t be renting from Benchmark 30A ever again!!

Perfect location

We really enjoyed our stay and would book this place again. It is a close enough drive to all the touristy activities but also far enough out so you are not crowded with tourist and can relax. Not to mention the cost to stay was very affordable.

2019 30A Beach Trip

Thoroughly enjoyed our stay and the house. It was beautiful and the location was just as they said right near the beach. Only hook ups were the dispose all under the sink went out and was not repaired while we were there. Also we were short a few lightbulbs and had to figure it out ourselves. Other than that it was a great trip.

Beyond pleased with our experience.

From the beginning of setting up to leaving the house was wonderful. The house was amazing and super clean. We are planning a vacation in fall and I would stay there again if available. The response to any questions were quickly answered and that meant a lot. So our rating of the experience, the house and the overall vacation was a 100%

Lovely stay, close to beach.

Great weekend celebrating the marriage of two of our closest friends! This spot was perfect for our stay in Santa Rosa. The location was great as it was central to everything (not far from downtown Seaside and Watercolor one direction or Alys Beach the other). Walking distance to the beach with a great pool! My only disappointment was that it was a little under-appointed. As stated in advance, we brought our own beach towels, however were only provided 8 bath towels total for a house that can accommodate 9 people (the listing said we should expect 4 per bathroom). A few more kitchen bits would have been nice (be sure to bring extra garbage bags!), but otherwise everything was clean and as expected! Overall, great stay. Would recommend!

Great location, great space!

Had a great time with family and friends at Emerald Rose while in town for the Seaside 5k/Half Marathon. The house is large and sleeps a lot of folks. Just a short walk to the beach and short drive to Seaside city center. Well kept home with all the necessary amenities than some. Only negatives are the AC (upstairs) can only go as low as 72. With it being March we were fine, but it did get warm. I would be worried to stay there in the heat of the summer and not be able to have the AC go lower. Also, all the rooms but one are downstairs. It can get kinda noisy downstairs for the late risers when folks are upstairs. Other than that, great property and super friendly renters/owners! We look forward to renting again.
