About Us

The First Time We Drove Down 30A, That Was It

We’d been up and down the Emerald Coast plenty of times. But the first time we actually drove 30A — the canopy roads, the dune lakes, the way everything just slows down yet full of life too — we knew this was different. We stopped looking elsewhere – 5Tides at Topsail is how we did it.

It’s a 2-bedroom, 2-bathroom condo in Topsail Village, right on Scenic Highway 30A. Closest unit to the pool. Back patio faces the nature preserve. The Timpoochee Trail runs out front. Comfortable in the way that actually matters after a long beach day.

Tara handles the hosting. She’s fast, thorough, and guests mention her by name in reviews. That’s not an accident.

We’ve had guests come back three summers in a row. Families celebrate anniversaries here. People tell us it was the best week of their year. That never gets old.

If you want to explore 30A the way we do — morning bike rides, long beach afternoons, dinner in Seaside — this is a good place to start.

We’re glad you found us.

Cheers!

— Tara & Troy

Elevate Your Stay at 5Tides.

5Tides Team

For us, a perfect day at 5Tides always starts early. We love grabbing a cup of coffee, uncovering the cruiser bikes, and taking a quiet morning ride down the 30A Timpoochee Trail before the afternoon heat rolls in. After a full afternoon lounging down by the emerald waters at Santa Rosa Beach, we usually wind down on our quiet back patio, watching the sunset over the nature preserve with a cold drink in hand. We curated this condo specifically so you could experience the coast exactly the way we do—effortless, relaxing, and fully connected to the incredible state parks, culinary spots, and hidden gems right outside your doorstep.

Why choose us ?

Here’s Why Guests Keep Coming Back

We built 5Tides because we got tired of staying in rentals that felt generic. You could be anywhere. We wanted a place that actually felt like 30A — unhurried, a little imperfect in the best way, and close enough to everything that you never feel like you’re missing out. Tara runs the logistics so they’re seamless. We keep the space stocked the way we’d want to find it. And we’re always a text away if something comes up. That’s just how we operate.
