Traveling with kids is an…adventure. Seriously, kids are a lot of fun to travel with, but they do require special accommodations. Take it from those with experience traveling with kids requires three main things: (1) space for everyone (they need their own room(s)); (2) a washer and a dryer (okay, this is more for you, but still); and (3) easy transportation (such as a motorized golf cart or E-Z-GO). Hence, we’ve rounded up the best kid-friendly houses on 30A and in Santa Rosa Beach that often fulfill these criteria and several (luxe) more.
