"This newer hidden gem is far better than you would expect, especially for the price . It’s a perfect weekend getaway in early fall with football gearing up, spacious beaches, tru blu crystal clear waters lapping the sugar white sands. Perfectly located with numerous nearby game day venue and menu options , elite breakfast diners and exquisite dinner destinations. The staff is awesome and it’s clean beyond words. I’ve stayed here at least ten times and it never disappoints. No matter your agenda, choose Tru hotel Santa Rosa Beach and it will become your home away from home."

"Loved recent stay here. The location cant be beat for walking to the beach or quickly going elsewhere in the 30A communities. The paved bike path is also right there. The coffee shop now called Raw and Juicy next door has excellent food and is quite popular. Our room was clean and well stocked with towels, beach towels, blankets, etc. The only negative for us was not paying to attention to one detail. The full kitchen was great but it is shared with another room. The common entry to the two rooms is through the kitchen. Just a little awkward. The property has two main buildings and our room was upstairs in the older building so of course it feels a little dated if use to very modern rooms. Suspect rooms in newer building more modern. The large chairs on front porch were great for sitting out even when raining. We liked the convenience of renting an umbrella and beach chairs set up for use right at the water line on Gulf. The Black Bear Bakery and coffee shop opening at 7 am just up the road was our go to spot. Definitely stay again."

"This house was amazing!!! I really can't say enough about the house. Destin Dreamers did almost everything perfectly! The check-in was a bit confusing as I was getting information from various people that didn't agree. They made it right though. In addition, when I had any questions during our stay they were prompt with a response!House was extremely well stocked. The added bonus of dishwasher pods, laundry pods, dish liquid was such a nice surprise! We had more than enough to get us through the week even when we washed the supplied beach towels daily!! The abundance of beach towels was very much appreciated. All the appliances were top notch! Wow... to have a full dedicated freezer!! Everything really was perfect once we got in the door! Thanks Destin Dreamers, I will always look to rent with you! Thanks for the fabulous house for our family vacation where we made some great memories!!"
