Enjoy your Winter Beach Escape! Only 1.2 miles to beach access

*Blue Mountain Beach Access is 1.2 miles away
*Resort-style community pool area including hot-tub, fire pit, lookout tower and grills
*Private hot-tub and fire pit
*Two screened-in porches

Winter is a great time to visit the area! There is plenty of sunshine to be enjoyed in the crisp weather with fewer crowds. The house’s private hot tub and fire pit are perfect for the evenings when temperatures are cool. There are also many nature trails in the area to explore before the scorching days of summer return. And the beach becomes a more relaxing spot to read a book, take a walk and let little ones run in the sand!

Nestled into this desirable Santa Rosa community, you will be minutes from spectacular white sand beaches, great restaurants and boutique shopping. You can easily walk, bike, hop on a golf cart rental or drive to the Blue Mountain Beach access, as well as many of the eateries, shops, and of course, ice cream.

You will also have access to the community resort-style pool area that is complete with waterfalls, a large sun shelf, hot tub, fire pit, grilling area with plenty of seating, and a 4-story lookout tower with views of the Gulf of Mexico.

Great!

We enjoyed our stay. House was showing a bit of wear but was clean and had a great location. One small issue was resolved by the host immediately. We would stay here again.

Wonderful Stay

We loved staying at this house! The location was great. The neighborhood is very cute and we enjoyed going on morning walks through it. There are trails that connect to the neighborhood as well. The screened in porches on this house are great. The porches are large and we enjoyed spending time on both of them. The decor and furnishings of the house were beautiful. Each bathroom came stocked with travel sized toiletries - more than enough to get us through the week. The host was quick to respond to anything and very accommodating. We enjoyed the beach chairs, umbrella, sand toys and not having to pack our own beach towels. We looked at many different rentals before booking and were very happy with our choice to stay at The Shorebird!

Excellent family vacation spot

The Shorebird was a perfect spot for a family vacation. We had two families of four and the house and setup were ideal with plenty of space for young kids. It is just like it looks in the pictures, no surprises. The house came equipped with plenty of beach chairs, toys and towels. The screened-in porch in front is very convenient for leaving all your wet and sandy gear. The community pool is great for all ages and just a short walk up the road. Highlands Park is a wonderful neighborhood, conveniently located near Blue Mountain Beach access point, Gulfview Heights beach access and Gulf Place shops and restaurants. I highly recommend renting a golf cart and/or bikes for your stay. The host was very responsive and helpful. Highly recommend!

Perfect getaway for families

We enjoyed our stay. Wish we could give greater than 5 stars. Our house was great providing communication and prompt response to any questions asked. Property was exactly as described. Great location. Beach access not too far. We can’t wait to visit again in the fall.
