Unique Benefits

The Bungalow on Birch was completely remodeled by us with the goal of creating the kind of beach house we would personally love to stay in — cozy, polished, thoughtfully designed, and easy to enjoy. Every corner was considered, from the private pool and fenced backyard to the screened porch, coffee bar, beach gear, bikes, and comfortable gathering spaces.

The location is one of our favorite parts: tucked into a quiet Santa Rosa Beach neighborhood just two blocks off 30A, close enough to walk or ride to the beach, Gulf Place, restaurants, coffee, shops, and live music, but still peaceful when you come back home. It feels private and relaxed, while still being close to everything people come to 30A for.

Why Kids Love It

Kids love having their own private pool to splash in after the beach, a fenced backyard for outdoor time, and plenty of space to relax after a day in the sun. The beach is close by, and families appreciate having beach gear available, easy meals at home, and cozy spaces for movie nights or downtime. The home is comfortable for families, while still feeling stylish and peaceful for the adults. For infants we have a pack and play and highchair available.

Attractions Within Walking Distance

One of the most special parts of this location is the natural beauty tucked right around the neighborhood. The home is close to Longleaf Greenway and Point Washington State Forest, where guests can enjoy peaceful walking and biking trails through preserved coastal forest, longleaf pine, scrub, and natural Florida landscape.

You are also near Draper Lake, one of Walton County’s rare coastal dune lakes. These unique lakes are found in only a few places in the world, and this stretch of 30A is known for them. It is a beautiful part of what makes Santa Rosa Beach so special — beach, bike path, coastal dune lake scenery, nature trails, restaurants, and shops all close by.

Favorite Places To Eat

**Favorite Places to Eat:**
Some of our nearby favorites include Shunk Gulley Oyster Bar, Local Catch, Red Fish Taco, Cowgirl Kitchen, Mimmo’s Italian, and The Perfect Pig. For coffee, 30A Coffee down the road is delicious.
We love having easy access to local spots near Gulf Place and along 30A. Whether you want seafood, a casual taco night, brunch, coffee, or a nicer dinner out, there are plenty of great options close by.

Inside Scoop

For the best beach day, go early — especially during peak season. Parking is easier, the beach is quieter, and finding a good spot in the sand is much less stressful. Our favorite rhythm is to go early, enjoy the best part of the day, and then leave before the busiest afternoon rush.

Later, head back toward the beach access around sunset. Gather at the top of the access with a drink, take in the view, and watch the sky change over the Gulf. It is one of the simplest and best parts of being on 30A.
