Tucked into the quiet, tree-lined stretch of Santa Rosa Beach, Woodland Shores by AvantStay is a 10-bedroom, 5,000-square-foot retreat built for the kind of group getaway you've been promising everyone for years. With room for 22 and a layout that keeps everyone comfortably spread out, this is the kind of home where the family reunion, bachelorette weekend, or milestone birthday trip actually lives up to the group chat hype.
Inside, the floor plan is made for easygoing coexistence. Five king suites, three bunk rooms with full-over-full setups, and two additional king bedrooms each come with their own private bathroom, which means no one's negotiating shower schedules or quietly resenting their roommate by day three. The bunk rooms are a favorite with kids and tight-knit friend groups who'd rather be in the same room than across the house. A dedicated game room on the first floor and a spacious living room upstairs give everyone somewhere to land --- whether that's a late-night card tournament, a movie with the little ones, or a slow coffee morning before the beach.
Out back is where Woodland Shores really sets itself apart. The private pool is one of the largest you'll find in the area --- an oversized, sun-drenched centerpiece that genuinely changes how a big group experiences the home. There's room for everyone to swim, float, and lounge without anyone feeling stacked on top of each other, and the spa tucked alongside gives the adults a quieter spot to settle into at the end of the day. A generous patio lined with loungers makes it easy to rotate between poolside and shade, while the firepit, outdoor dining setup, and built-in BBQ grill turn most evenings into a casual cookout that stretches well past sunset. Parking and in-home laundry keep the logistics simple, and for a little extra fun, a six-seater golf cart is available to guests --- perfect for cruising down to the beach, grabbing coffee on 30A, or making a sunset run to your favorite seafood spot.
Santa Rosa Beach sits in the heart of Scenic Highway 30A, one of the Florida Panhandle's most beloved coastal stretches. You're minutes from the sugar-white sand and turquoise water the Emerald Coast is famous for, with easy access to the charming beach communities of Seaside, WaterColor, and Grayton Beach. Spend your mornings strolling the 30A bike path, your afternoons paddleboarding on one of the area's rare coastal dune lakes, and your evenings working through a long list of standout local restaurants, boutique shops, and live music spots.
Whether you're here to do everything or absolutely nothing, Woodland Shores gives your group the space, the setting, and the freedom to make the week exactly what you want it to be.
