Why Choose Santa Rosa Beach for Your Florida Snowbird Rental?
Santa Rosa Beach is often considered the heart of 30A — offering a perfect balance of laid-back beach life and upscale coastal living. Unlike some of the busier Florida destinations, this community retains its natural beauty, relaxed atmosphere, and friendly local charm, making it ideal for snowbirds who want to enjoy a true home-away-from-home experience.
Here are just a few reasons snowbirds love spending their winters here:
1. Mild Winter Weather
Average winter temperatures range between the mid-60s and low 70s, creating perfect conditions for outdoor activities. Whether it’s beach walks in January or patio dining in February, the weather here makes every day feel like spring.
2. Central Location on the Emerald Coast
Santa Rosa Beach is nestled between Destin and Panama City Beach, giving snowbirds easy access to shopping, healthcare, and dining, while still enjoying the quiet charm of a smaller beach town.
3. Laid-Back Lifestyle
Life slows down during the winter months, making it an ideal time for long-term visitors. Locals know your name, restaurants are less crowded, and you can enjoy 30A’s beaches and trails without the summer rush.
4. Long-Term Rental Flexibility
Unlike short-term vacation rentals that cater to weekend visitors, Latitude Luxury Vacations specializes in monthly and seasonal snowbird rentals designed for comfort and convenience during extended stays.

Things to Do During Your Snowbird Stay
Even in the “off-season,” there’s no shortage of things to do along 30A and the Emerald Coast. In fact, many snowbirds find that winter is the best time to explore — fewer crowds, mild temperatures, and plenty of local events.

Take in the natural beauty of Grayton Beach State Park or Topsail Hill Preserve, both offering hiking trails, birdwatching, and stunning dune lakes.
2. Shop & Dine Local
From The Perfect Pig to Local Catch Bar & Grill, winter is a great time to enjoy 30A’s restaurants without the wait. Visit 30Avenue, Gulf Place Town Center, and the Shops of Grayton for local shopping.

Winter brings festive markets, wine tastings, and art festivals throughout Walton County. The 30A Songwriters Festival in January is a can’t-miss event that draws visitors from across the country.
4. Relax & Reconnect
Many of our snowbird guests say the best part of their stay is simply enjoying quiet mornings on the porch, beach walks at sunset, and the slower pace that 30A offers during the winter months.
