What You Will Love About Buddy Street Retreat
Welcome to Buddy Street Retreat, a stunning three-story vacation home nestled along Scenic 30A, just three blocks from the sugar-white sands of Santa Rosa Beach. Designed for unforgettable coastal escapes, this pet-friendly retreat comfortably accommodates up to 18 guests, making it perfect for large gatherings of family and friends.
Step outside to your own private lagoon-style pool, surrounded by lush landscaping, magnolias, and tropical palms. Lounge on the sun-soaked patio, take a refreshing dip or enjoy alfresco dining on the expansive decks that overlook the pool. A built-in bar and gas grill on the lower level set the scene for unforgettable poolside cookouts and evening cocktails under the stars.
Inside, the home is thoughtfully designed with multiple living areas and spacious accommodations across three floors. The first level features a family room with a NEW cozy wraparound couch, a large flatscreen TV, and a built-in bunk area that sleeps 12 guests—perfect for kids or the young at heart. A private king bedroom with an ensuite bath provides a relaxing retreat. The second floor boasts a bright and airy living space with white beamed ceilings, a plush sectional, and a chef's kitchen with custom cabinetry and stainless steel appliances. The primary suite on this level features a king-size bed, private deck access, and a spa-like ensuite bath. On the third floor, two additional king bedrooms share a stylish bath, offering comfort and privacy for guests.
Why You Will Love Santa Rosa Beach

Gulf Place is a charming coastal village filled with boutique shopping, fantastic restaurants, and lively bars, all centered around a Royal Palm-lined amphitheater that hosts live music, art shows, and seasonal festivals. The nearby Scenic 30A Bike Path offers an easy way to explore the coast, while Draper Lake, a rare Coastal Dune Lake, provides a one-of-a-kind setting for paddleboarding, kayaking, and fishing. Whether you're exploring nature, savoring local cuisine, or simply unwinding on the beach, Santa Rosa Beach delivers the perfect mix of relaxation and adventure.

8 / 10Excellent·Jun 2025
The house was nice. It was disappointing that there were no beach towels included and no beach chairs or toys. This was the first place I've ever stayed without these extras. When traveling it makes it nice to have that included. Also, to have an option for a pack and play would've been nice as well. The outside furniture is becoming dry rotted. The inside couch needed to have the cover replaced as it was ripped. There was a safety concern that I did bring up upon checkout. Little things that could've made this an amazing trip.
10 / 10Outstanding·Apr 2025
The house was clean, on quiet street, super close to the beach and a heated pool that was actually warm!The only thing was the outdoor furniture by the pool needs to be replaced- very worn and one lounge chair was broken.My family enjoyed their stay and would go back!
