We come to 30A every year and have stayed in a variety of homes. Always on My Mind was definitely our favorite. There are so many things we loved about this home. This is the only home, we have rented, where the living area is on the ground floor. We were surprised how much we loved this feature. The patio was large enough to actually use and was set up with a nice dining table and a lovely porch swing. Having seen grassy area for the kids to play was so nice. The home also has two living areas which we really enjoyed as well. Being oceanfront is very important to us since we are traveling with children so we don’t have to carry all of our gear in the car when we go to the beach. We also loved the pool and used it every day. The host was a great communicator which is also very important to me. We didn’t have any problems, but it was so nice to get a quick response when we had questions. The host was also great to work with for our vendors who brought groceries, baby gear and the beach bonfire. As soon as we nail down our dates for next year we will rent Always on My Mind again.

Thank you so much for sharing this wonderful feedback. It means a lot to hear that Always On My Mind has become your favorite home. We’re thrilled the ground‑floor living area, spacious patio, grassy yard, and dual living spaces made your time here so comfortable — especially with little ones. Being right on the beach truly makes the days easier, and we’re glad the pool and beach setup added to the experience. It was a pleasure staying connected throughout your trip and coordinating with your vendors. We’d be honored to welcome you back once your dates are set.

Best Beach View Ever
This is one of the best homes we've rented in 35+ years of vacationing along 30A. Absolutely gorgeous gulf views, beautifully furnished, fully equipped, clean and well maintained, and convenient to dining and shopping. Our family loved it. We had a glitch with travel and our reservation dates. The 30A Escapes team was responsive and resolved it quickly; thank you.

The perfect house!

This is such a wonderful property!! We had an issue pop up and they handled it right away. It’s the perfect location and it feels like you have your own private beach. We’ve already booked our stay for next year.

Always On My Mind
Just spent a week at "Always On My Mind". We had a wonderful time and plan to go again next year. The house was just lovely and had was everything we could have asked for. The beach access was great and having 4 chairs and 2 umbrellas everyday was such a treat. Also included were 5 bikes which gave us an opportunity to see a different side of 30A. The house is so convenient to Publix, several really great restaurants and shopping. The best place was sitting on the second floor deck everyday reading and watching the gulf waters. So comfortable and with more than enough room for all 5 of us. We'll definitely be there again next fall.

Amazing!
We went with our friends and had 6 kids under 8 at the house. We loved it so much we only left 1 evening for dinner. Being right on the beach was amazing! The chair service was so convenient and a must if traveling to 30a with kids! There were a few things that could have made it a little better, if they had nicer patio furniture on the main level we would have utilized it more at night. We wish the tv in the main living room was bigger because we didn’t watch tv in the living room by the pool at night because the kids were in bed. Other than that we loved the house! It had much more space than I anticipated based on the pictures. The kitchen was well equipped and the ice machine was amazing! The beds were very comfortable and it was nice every bedroom had a bathroom! Thank you for an amazing week!

By far is my favorite home in the 30 years we have been traveling to the FL panhandle

We have been using 30A Escapes for a number of years and will continue for years to come.  We stayed in Always On My Mind (right outside of Alys) and by far is my favorite home in the 30 years we have been traveling to the FL panhandle.  Lovely house, beautifully decorated, pool is AWESOME, and of course walking right out on the beach is the best experience.  Carriage house is perfect size and all the main rooms were well appointed.  Stephanie was immediately responsive to any questions we had.  We will definitely be going back to this home in the future! Stephanie was awesome!

The house was exactly as explained in the ad

The house was exactly as explained in the ad. The pool was beautiful and the kids really enjoyed it. the Carriage House worked out well for us. The bedrooms for a nice size and of course everyone enjoyed having their own bathroom.  

Ali was wonderful. It was late on Sunday night when we came back from dinner and the upstairs air conditioner wasn't working. Someone was sent immediately and it was fixed. Every time I texted a question it was answered immediately. Couldn't ask for better service
