Perfect week

We’ve stayed in many different properties along 30-A for the last 30 years and have often driven by Magnolia but never stayed there. However we likely will be coming back after a perfect week. It’s close enough to every place of interest but without the crowds of many other places.

Sans Souci

The house itself was as good as advertised, and we loved it. The check-in process could have been better, as our access code wasn't provided on time, and the pool and beach access codes provided were incorrect. Aside from working with the property management company, we loved our stay.

Great Getaway

We had an amazing stay here! The house is in a great location, it was clean, close to the pool, and beach! Our only critique is the WIFI is in and out so we had difficulties streaming movies. Also note the beach access across the street leads you to a private beach, so you must walk a bit down to the public beaches when entering through that gate. Other than that we thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Sans Souci! Thank you 30A Escapes!

Christmas 2020

House has a good layout, was clean and nicely decorated. Beds were very comfortable and bathrooms nicely stocked. Living space was also nice. Kitchen is stocked (no spices) but knives need to be either replaced or sharpened. Upon Arrival quickly noticed that 3 of the kitchen lights (above stove and sink) were not working. Reported same day to property manager and after 3 days of waiting fixed on our own (burned out bulbs replaced from hardware store). Lights under the cabinet are still not working. Major disappointment was the advertised pool was closed/under major long term construction but we were never notified. This was a major factor in the decision to rent this location. Once again no response from the property manager when asked for details. Overall the house itself is nice and structurally sound, however the experience is hampered by false advertising (pool availability) and poor property management.

Memorable Family Vacation!

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. The perfect size home for 4 and our pup. Clean (and trust me I am a stickler about cleanliness), plenty of room to spread out and comfortable beds. Having never been to 30A, the home was a great first impression to all the area has to offer. It was the perfect quiet community about 2 miles from Rosemary and just over a mile to Alys. The other direction takes you to the Big Chill (about 1.3 miles) and more great eateries. Some of our favorites were Ambrosia (more of a fine dining experience), Mimmo's, Cafe 30A, Cowgirl Kitchen, George's and Tommy Bahama's (in Sandestin). We had two small hiccups: 1) The VRBO listing noted beach items that the property manager's listing did not -- one of which was beach chairs. The true beach chair that was on property was broken and I reached out via phone to request a new one along with another (vs. the straight up and down/tall chair that was there). The person I spoke with was a bit combative noting beach chairs were not included. I text the listing on VRBO that noted they were to the property manager and they were quick to get someone over to replace the broken chair and include another one, which we appreciated. 2) Internet/TV Service. I’ve seen numerous prior reviews noting the same and it was mostly non-existent for us. We restarted the box and it helped toward the end of our stay. Cable would be better than Roku TV’s in our opinion for renters, easier for all. We'd come back in a heartbeat!

DIY Vacation

Sans Souci was a lovely home, but staying there as guests was more than a little disappointing. The front porch had not been swept, and the furniture, looking worn with tables in need of repair/replacement, had not been cleaned off. We got inside and started turning on lights, and discovered that all undercounter lights above the stove were not working. Light above shower in hallway was burned out, as was one of the lights on stairway leading upstairs. We called and someone came out right away - he said that the kitchen bulbs were not burned out. The power had been cut from the power source, so there was nothing he could do. As a result, it was very dark cooking as the overhead lighting was insufficient to allow you to see food on the cooktop well. We walked upstairs to the master bedroom, and found that our view out of the French doors led to a set of doors lying on the patio floor. Upon entering the master bath, we saw that the French doors that had replaced the one out on the patio floor had not even been installed completely. The mfr. decals and instructions were still glued onto the doors, and the trim around them had not even been painted. Once again, we called, and the response was quick.Men came out and secured the discarded door to the railing of the patio. We decided to ride the provided bicycles, only to discover that all 3 had tires that were almost flat. Once again, we called and the response was quick - someone came out and got the tires inflated. The next day, we took trash to the 2 large trash cans outside, only to discover that they were completely full and smelly. We had to take both to the curb on trash day - it was obvious that they had not been emptied in weeks. The house was very well appointed and we enjoyed the location. However, for the price we paid, we should not have had to experience any of the above mentioned issues. The whole idea of vacation is to relax and not have to do a thing. I hope that the owner and mgmt. company will remedy these types of issues for other guests. (Photos of issues available upon request.)

Very comfortable home that allows a dog. Thank you!

Nice rental property that needs to have the decking off the master bedroom resurfaced as it is flaking and then gets tracked into the bedroom-rendering the deck unusable.

Lovely home

Great home! Clean, had everything you could need. Very close to beach access. Only issue was that you aren’t allowed to set up on the beach near access point. You have to go to the public access and set up there. Felt misleading with having had a code for private access.

Great stay

The management company was wonderful. I feel the house could have a little bit cleaner as far as floors and couches. However, we booked very last minute and I know it is peak busy season. Also, the kitchen was a bit dark and it appeared some bulbs were out. We did not call about the lights or I’m certain they would have rushed over. This property is right across the street from the beach access which was lovely. I will say if you are traveling with grandparents, know that the stairs are very steep and a long way up and down. Also, they are very narrow so if a group is coming up or down at the same time, someone has to wait. It wasn’t a big deal though because you are right across from the beach.

A great getaway

We loved staying here. The house was lovely - conveniently located and tastefully decorated. We had a little trouble initially with access codes - not to the actual house, but pool, etc. However, any time we had an issue or question the management company answered the phone and helped us with whatever. I would definitely recommend this place!

Great family vacation!

Sans Souci was a perfect place for my family to enjoy 30A while on Spring Break. The home was immaculate and well situated for getting to the beach, Rosemary or The Hub. My family will definitely be returning to this wonderful home. Thank you to all who made our stay so perfect!

Perfect

We were here for work for 20 days.The place was clean, well-furnished with a well-stocked kitchen. Loved the decor and the conveniences like the printer and paper, (didnt use it but nice to know it was available) made it feel like a home away from home. And the property manager, Stephanie, is on top of her job! Give her a raise!

Spring Break, but without all the crowds

Love this house!! We had 3 adults and 4 teenagers traveling for Spring Break. The adults had a relaxing time and the kids had fun and with plenty to do while away from the house and also at the house. All of us thoroughly enjoyed our stay. The house has a wonderful front porch, great place to sit, relax and enjoy the quiet neighborhood. The interior is beautifully decorated and is very inviting. The furniture and beds are comfortable and the home had everything we needed and then some. The beach area is beautiful, not overly crowded and just a short walk across 30A. One of our favorite things about the house is the location. It is close enough to everything, but also away from the more crowded areas. Downtown Seacrest/Rosemary Beach are only about 2 miles and Seaside about 6 miles away. Teenagers liked these areas and we loved the easy bike rides to both! Grocery store within a 10 minute drive, Pier Park may be a 15 minute drive. Sans Souci is a wonderful name for this home because you truly have “no worries” while there. We look forward to coming back!

The perfect beach house in a wonderful location!

Two families of 3 enjoyed a wonderful long weekend at this house. My family has stayed in this neighborhood twice before and although we had already had two good experiences renting in this area, this home was probably our favorite and we will attempt to stay here again for our next beach vacation. It is spacious, clean, has a well equipped kitchen, a comfortable living space, is tastefully decorated and also has a great front porch. It is so convenient to the beach access and we biked into Rosemary and Alys twice while we were there. 3 bikes were included with the rental! This neighborhood is fairly quiet but is so convenient to everything you could possibly want to do at the beach. We love this area and this home! Thanks for an awesome weekend!

First Rental Experience

This was our second family trip to Florida and our first rental experience versus the traditional hotel/resort vacations we typically take and it was absolutely fantastic. The house was wonderful! It was clean, updated, relaxed and roomy. We loved the front porch and enjoyed sitting outside and having coffee most mornings in addition to winding down and relaxing in the evenings after a day at the beach. We really enjoyed having a house versus a hotel room because the house gave us all the comforts of home. The living room was cozy for the nights we relaxed and watched a little TV. A full kitchen along with a full size dining room table was perfect for the times we wanted to eat in. It was nice that the kitchen came equipped with dinnerware and cookware so all we had to do was make a quick trip to the grocery store. The sleep quarters were well thought out. There was a queen bedroom suite with private full bath as well as an upstairs master suite with a private balcony! Our two boys (age 10 and 12) loved having the bunk room as their private hangout and the house is equipped with WiFi to stay connected. They were even able to hook up there Xbox One! Although there was an Xbox 360 already at the house along with many other board games. . The location is centrally located. We were a short drive, walk or bike from beautiful sites, restaurants, and entertainment, etc. We would recommend using the house bikes to ride a short way down the street to buy donuts from the local donut truck. The kids loved them. Just be sure to go early; when they sell out that’s it. The rental also included gated access to the beach which we were blown away with. The sand was deep and white and the water was crystal clear. We enjoyed many beautiful sunsets there. When you consider renting this terrific, comfortable house, the location of it, the beach and having everything at the house you need compared to the typical hotel style vacation it is really a no brainer from and accommodation and cost standpoint! The house is an A+ and we will definitely re-rent this property for our next trip to Florida. We are already planning our next stay and just trying to decide if it will be March or June!

Excellent Beach Vacation

San Souci was everything we could want for a relaxing family vacation at the beach. It has a great location right in the heart of the upscale and beautiful east end of 30A. We found the neighborhood to be very casual and laid back without the crowds you find in some of the nearby larger communities. The house is only a short walk from the beach and the pool is only a few lots down. The beach here is amazing! We loved the outdoor shower for cleaning the sand off after our fun days in the sun. The house was plenty spacious enough for 5 adults and a toddler, even with all the toys that came with our little one. The kitchen was well equipped with everything we could need. They have plenty of board games and books to keep you entertained while indoors. The large front porch with all its seating made for some very enjoyable evenings. I cannot think of anything I would do to improve San Souci. My only regret was having to return home.

Fantastic Family Vacation

My family and I spent a week here in mid July. Had an absolutely terrific time. It's a 5 minute walk to a beautiful beach. We had both waves and calm weather - easy and safe to swim. Had a ball with our paddleboards. My wife and I would run the beach in the morning. Rode our bikes down to the cool little downtown area for drinks and dinner. Chartered a fishing boat out of Panama City and caught a cooler full of mackerel and snapper. House itself was perfect - great kitchen and grill for cooking, comfortable sitting areas inside and out. Great bedrooms, everything where you expected it to be. Totally recommend it.
