About this property

50 Steps To Your Private Beach access & Large Private Pool

4 beach chairs and 2 umbrellas included on the beach daily (March-October)

Everyone knows that location is the key in real estate. It is also the key to having a great vacation. And there is no better location to enjoy the beautiful white sands of the Florida panhandle than at the beautiful, secluded, and peaceful Sunrise Beach subdivision in Santa Rosa Beach, Florida.

Most importantly, Rainbow Fish is located less than 100 steps from the beach! In addition, Rainbow Fish has a beautiful, large and private pool. Your day in paradise is already complete!

Inside, we have significantly renovated Rainbow Fish:

The house -- both inside and outside -- was recently painted with neutral colors; The house has gorgeous new hard wood floors throughout; and the kitchen was completely redone with a new counter-top, cabinets, appliances, and the Margaritaville Frozen Concoction Maker® -- all ready for your enjoyment. For those of you coffee fans, there is a Keurig and a standard coffee maker in the kitchen.

The first floor has a spacious living room with a new 55 inch LG TV and sofa sleeper, dining room, kitchen, and half-bathroom. The second floor has three bedrooms and two full bathrooms. The master bedroom has a king size bed; the second bedroom has a queen size bed; and the third bedroom has 2 full beds. Connecting the master bedroom and the second bedroom is a beautiful porch: the perfect place to start your day with a cup of coffee or read a book and relax during the day.

*7 night, weekly rentals only March-October, must be Saturday to Saturday.

Wonderful stay

We loved so many things about this house…pool, hot tub, space for two teens and 10 year old and two adults. Our favorite thing was easy access to beach and chairs/umbrellas set up daily on the beach. Made it so easy to pop down to the beach at any time without having to lug everything. Would easily stay again!

Great location. Very close to beach. House is well appointed, but needs some refreshing. Pool area needs weed-eating and tidying up. Front entrance needs some weed-eating as well.

Great location in Santa Rosa Beach

Although we had some issues, this was overall a nice beach house close to the beach, centrally located and walking distance to bars, restaurants and shopping. When we first arrived, there were bugs in the master bathroom. We also saw roaches in the kitchen our last morning. The hot tub was not heated. I did see there was an extra charge to heat the pool, but never thought if a hot tub was advertised, we would need to pay extra to heat it. We have a cabin rental, and wouldn't think to charge our guests to heat our hot tub. There were beach chairs also on website at home, but none at the home. We didn't bring ours from home for this reason, and needed to buy beach chairs for a music festival we were there to attend. Just some things consider for the property adverti.tonconsiwashoredhawkwo

Fall Break

Great location, walking distance to all amenities and located right across from private beach access. We loved the complimentary beach chairs and umbrellas. The pool and hot tub at the house were great, the kids loved it. The grill and outdoor space were good for a few cookouts and family dinner time. The sleeping areas in the house were great, and perfect for a family of 5. The downstairs floors are in need of a refresh, so they felt a bit unclean on bare feet. The air vents could also use a good cleaning as they were visibly dirty. Overall, it was a great house and with a couple minor fixes this would be a go to house in a perfect neighborhood for our family.

Great location!

This was our first time in the area and we really enjoyed our stay. There were two of us and our two dogs. Location was great! Super short walk to the beach and also convenient to restaurants. Fenced backyard was perfect. We thought there was an issue with the hot tub, so we reached out to the property manager. They were very response and we realized it was user error. :-) Thanks for a wonderful vacation!

Spring Break ‘23

We stayed at Rainbow fish house with my daughter & her husband and two young granddaughters. The house and pool were perfect! The distance to the beach was so close and truly just steps away! We did have an issue with the clothes dryer not working, but they fixed it right away! Would stay here again.

Location, location, location!

This is a great little house just steps from the beach, and a 5-minute walk to shops and restaurants. We had no need for a golf cart here! The house has some updates, and some original/dated features; but none which impacted our stay. The private pool was a big bonus. We had a ball and would happily rent this house again!

Spring Break at Rainbow Fish

Four adults (56-79) plus 3 teenage girls. The house functioned well for all of us.Large Pool was heated enough that it was very comfortable. Teenagers loved the hot tub. The front porch and 2nd story porch were well furnished and wel loved sitting out there day and night. Only caveat; stairs were the winding, corner kind. Older adults had to traverse them carefully. All bedrooms are on the 2nd floor. We had a wonderful time and very much enjoyed our stay in Rainbow Fish.
