The location and commodities in the property were awesome. My kids have their own space in the second floor. Super close to the square and to the beach. My little one felt in home since we arrive. We went shopping, eating and biking all day without worry about parking at the square. Definitely one of the best places to go back soon.

Nice home. Close to beach and Seaside
Front doors need covering. They are double doors and glass. People in the street can see right into the main living space and on into the downstairs bedroom. Not good. Plenty of bedrooms. Each bedroom capable of at least 3 people sleeping. Bathrooms are nice. Open concept from kitchen through dining area and sitting area.

Convenient to beach and walk to town.
Only problem we had was they were doing road work the whole we were there and we were woken up by 7AM every morning which was quite aggrevating as the baby would wake up. And the dust was so bad we could not sit outside except for the afternoon it rained. The people working were nice but they had a job to do and could not prevent the noise or dust. Lots of thru traffic which I guess is from people avoiding the main 30a traffic and the road are barely passable if you meet a truck/or bikers, etc.

Great vaca!
The house was well suited for our family. the two living areas provided space for kids to watch TV or play games upstairs while the adults visited downstairs. The house was exceptionally clean and nicely furnished. The main floor furniture could be more comfortable. The location was perfect, very quiet. Short walk to crosswalk/access to public beach. Todd, our property manager was very helpful and was quick to respond to a minor issue. The amenities listed that beach chairs were included but 1 was not enough. Would defintely book again.

Rented the property for a friend's 50th birthday girls beach trip and it was perfect. There were 10 women in the house and we had plenty of room between the 4 bedrooms and having an upstairs living room area too. We rented bikes and were able to get to the beach, a restaurant or shopping in minutes. Would recommend and would stay again.

Location, Price, Property: All Thumbs Up!
Easy 4-minute walk from front porch along Thyme St. and 30A to bottom of stairs/first step onto the sand. Brick streets of Seaside are a super-quick bike ride on West Grove Ave. (Yellowfin bike rental prices were the best we found; free same-day delivery with no reservation required!) Publix grocery (Watercolor) a very convenient drive away. Property is a great value for proximity to beach and Seaside without the Seaside price tag. The house is well maintained, newly updated, and well stocked, but touch points could have been cleaner. I used sanitizing wipes on everything for extra caution. We needed to request kitchen towel and dish cloth; the only kitchen linens provided were hot pads. Most of the kitchen cabinets and drawers actually were overstocked which left little to no room for groceries for a group of 4 families all bringing food. We made use of laundry cabinets and a couple of empty top shelves. We loved that 3 bedrooms, full bath, and living space upstairs were private and separate from the downstairs (door at top of staircase) which allowed for the adults to enjoy games and conversation after the kids went to bed. Wraparound porch and upstairs balcony also were favorite hangouts. We hung a backpacking hammock on the balcony and filled an inflatable pool on the lower porch--very nice! Super nice to have the outdoor shower with hot water as well as the washer/dryer in the house. Todd usually was available and responsive almost all of the time. Slight negatives were condition of the roads (outside Seaside)--unpaved and full of potholes--as well as some moderate construction noise and traffic nearby. My daughter also brought room-darkening panels to hang over the blinds in the kids' room. A Great Family Vacation.

The bathrooms were a little smaller than I expected, but the property was very clean. Location is great for getting to the beach and to seaside. There was just a lot of renovations/construction going on in the vicinity which caused a little issue with getting vehicles in and out, but overall I thought it was a great place!

We have stayed all over 30A, Destin, and PCB over the years and this Seaside/30A experience have been our favorite so far!! The location is absolutely perfect. The house is completely updated and so comfortable to stay in. Plenty of space in all bedrooms/bathrooms and the two separate living areas were perfect for our party of 9. All beds were very comfortable. We rented bikes and a golf cart (they were delivered and picked up by Reef Beach Rentals) and we never used our cars for the rest of the week. The house is fully equipped with anything and everything you could possibly need from beach chairs to kitchenware. This beach house is perfect in every way!!
