Bayside, Dock, Large Porch, Bay View
Bayside Bliss is a unique and unforgettable home that certainly lives up to its name. Perched on the shores of the sparkling Choctawhatchee Bay, this six-bedroom boasts panoramic views of the bay waters and access to a dock that allows boat enthusiasts to easily bring their boat with them on their 30A holiday. And when you want to explore the gulf side, the gorgeous beaches are only a ten-minute drive away.
Bayside Bliss is surrounded by an emerald green lawn. The spacious and open dining/family/kitchen area on the main floor is the perfect gathering spot for the entire family, with two spacious living areas to hang out and play games. In the open kitchen, a center island has barstool seating for four people. The natural wood cabinets surround the premier appliances, which include a refrigerator, electric range, dishwasher, and microwave. The kitchen also features stunning views of the bay and is fully equipped to handle anything from preparing a stack of pancakes to heating up some take-out pizza.
Just upstairs is another living area, and a mini kitchen perfect for the little munchkins, or the unexpected vacation guest. In the living area, nautical blue walls and crisp white trim surround the classic fireplace, while a wall of windows and glass doors perfectly frames the sprawling view of the bay. A comfy, overstuffed sofa provides plenty of seating for everyone and faces the flatscreen television.
Six private bedrooms provide plenty of space for everyone to rest and recharge. The first bedroom on 2nd floor is spacious and comfortable, with elegant wainscotting, cathedral ceilings, and a Queen-size bed as well as a day bed with a trundle. The second and third bedrooms each feature a queen-size bed, while a full bathroom with a double vanity can be accessed from the hallway. The fourth and fifth bedrooms on 1st floor each feature a king size bed, the sixth bedroom has a bunk room with trundle.
Although the interior of Bayside Bliss is warm and welcoming, you may find you spend the majority of your downtime on the sun-kissed private porch. Located just off the living area and elevated up above it all, this serene oasis includes a lovely lounging area that was practically built for sipping your morning coffee while gazing out at the bay, or enjoying an evening cocktail while the sunset reflects off the water.
If you’re searching for a Santa Rosa Beach home that’s a bit off the beaten path and therefore more peaceful and relaxing as well, then look no further than Bayside Bliss. Although you’ll only be a few minutes away from the bustling beaches of 30A and the shopping and dining of Gulf Place, you’ll enjoy the serene feeling of having your very own bay-front oasis to escape to.

This was our first time in Destin. The location was great and not near the traffic in Destin. House was big and clean. It fit all of us. We also brought our jet skis and was able to dock it at there dock.
If you’re thinking about renting this place just stop looking and do it. It was absolutely beautiful. All of the kids from 4 to 15 had an amazing time and were never really bored. We even go to see dolphins from the pier. We plan on going back real soon.
Our family really enjoyed the stay here. The house is great for large families. The only thing we were a little disappointed in was the bay wasn’t really swim able behind the house but other wise everything was great. Definitely a beautiful home in a beautiful location.
Very spacious. We did have a little issue with not having hot water. Can’t complain about the price or the amazing view. You won’t regret booking this spot.
The House is just as pictured. There was plenty of room for our Family. Kitchen nicely stocked. Gas cooktop and full refrigerator. The Bay is just outside the back door. Nice dock to sit and enjoy the outdoors. Neighbors are close but quiet neighborhood. Within walking distance to The Bay restaurant and Bayside Baits if your into Fishing. The 331 bridge is within site distance and a nice area under the bridge with pavilion, public restrooms and fishing areas. It is a drive to get to the Beach. Publix is a short drive away. Overall, nice stay and we would return if seeking House by the Bay.
Place was great , did not disappoint at all. Super clean well equipped for any activity but make sure as it relates to food items that you bring EVERYTHING ,, even your own salt and pepper no big deal just fyi. The listing managers were great, timely , made sure the process was easy in and out. 9.8 out of 10
