Learn more about Santa Rosa Beach

Emerald waters lap against sugar-white sand where locals debate which stretch of Gulf shoreline truly deserves the 'most beautiful' title. Topsail Hill Preserve State Park hides rare coastal dune lakes among its dunes, creating freshwater swimming spots just steps from saltwater waves. The 30A Bike Trail connects beachfront communities where pastel cottages house art galleries and seafood joints serving grouper sandwiches on paper plates. Blue Mountain Beach offers a quieter alternative to bustling Seaside Beach, where the amphitheatre hosts sunset concerts. Surfers paddle out at dawn while golfers tee off at Santa Rosa Beach Golf Club. Come evening, families gather at Seaside's central green where children chase each other as the sky turns impossibly pink.

"This newer hidden gem is far better than you would expect, especially for the price . It’s a perfect weekend getaway in early fall with football gearing up, spacious beaches, tru blu crystal clear waters lapping the sugar white sands. Perfectly located with numerous nearby game day venue and menu options , elite breakfast diners and exquisite dinner destinations. The staff is awesome and it’s clean beyond words. I’ve stayed here at least ten times and it never disappoints. No matter your agenda, choose Tru hotel Santa Rosa Beach and it will become your home away from home."

8/10 Good
"Loved recent stay here. The location cant be beat for walking to the beach or quickly going elsewhere in the 30A communities. The paved bike path is also right there. The coffee shop now called Raw and Juicy next door has excellent food and is quite popular. Our room was clean and well stocked with towels, beach towels, blankets, etc. The only negative for us was not paying to attention to one detail. The full kitchen was great but it is shared with another room. The common entry to the two rooms is through the kitchen. Just a little awkward. The property has two main buildings and our room was upstairs in the older building so of course it feels a little dated if use to very modern rooms. Suspect rooms in newer building more modern. The large chairs on front porch were great for sitting out even when raining. We liked the convenience of renting an umbrella and beach chairs set up for use right at the water line on Gulf. The Black Bear Bakery and coffee shop opening at 7 am just up the road was our go to spot. Definitely stay again."
