Area and Community Attractions:
Discover the charm of Seagrove, a beach neighborhood that locals and guests love. Lush oak trees, magnolias, and pines have spread deep roots in Seagrove — and so have long-time visitors who keep coming back.
Laid-back but luxurious, Seagrove is a place that embraces variety. From upscale boutiques to casual cafes, this beach neighborhood offers a little bit of everything — including two rare coastal dune lakes, a state park, and sugar-white sand. Pack a picnic, fishing pole, and binoculars — and witness how stunning Seagrove is in its all-natural state. Its sugar-white sand has been a peaceful retreat in South Walton for decades; here, old and new Gulf Coast style merge to create a charming beach neighborhood with everything one may need for a truly relaxing getaway.

Gorgeous Space!

Loved this space. Everything was beautifully renovated, spacious and comfortable. Came with everything you would ever need - beach chairs, bikes, water toys, etc. Great location near the beach, restaurants and shopping. Would definitely recommend!

Seaside Stay

This was in the perfect location & it was such a cute home. The perfect beach vibe. All of us absolutely loved the house and said we would come back. My only complaint is when we went to do laundry, the washing machine smelled very mildewy, as I know that is common with front load washers. Overall, we had an amazing time here.

Great place

This house was great. The location was easily within walking distance of the beach. The place was spacious enough that 6 adults could manage without crawling all over each other. The master bedroom was especially the highlight with a kind bed and plenty of room. The shower in the master bedroom was phenomenal with glorious water pressure. After a day at the beach, that shower was a godsend. The only thing that was even the slightest negative (and this was an inconvenience not a true negative) was the driveway. One of our party had a larger truck and it was a tight fit. But let’s be honest here as this is a first world problem not a dealbreaker. How could you complain about this when the rest of the place was truly wonderful. We would stay here again for sure on the next vacation to 30A!

Cottage by sea is all show not real

Unfortunately there were about 10 items that have to be taken care of before you have guests... 1. All your bedding sheets pillows are very poor quality or not even provided * not one blanket... they looked dirty and old 2.A serious red ant infestation I called no one called back 3.All the floors were very dirty washer smelled badly all bases of cabinets have never been cleaned EVER... 4.PROVIDING ONE TOILET PAPER PER BATH AND ONE ROLL OF PAPER TOWEL, NO CLEANING PRODUCTS NOT EVEN A DAY OF WATER IS JUST SOO CHEAP AND REFLECTS ABSOLUTELY NO SENCE OF HOSPITALITY, NO UMBRELLA... TABLE LAMPS BROKEN MASTER TV WORKS SOMETIMEs. NEVER CONTACTING US WITH ASKING HOW WE WERE DOING OR IF WE NEEDED ANYTHING AGAIN VERY POOR HOSPITALITY ... WE OWN A FEW APTS ON RENTAL SITE NEED A NEW MANAGING and cleaning group I blame the owners for not being interested.. it shows 100 percent NO PERSONAL TOUCHES .... THE ONE GREAT THING WAS THE WATER PRESURE...great for showering.

Delightful!

We had such a wonderful time at the beach house! Literal steps to the ocean, beautiful porch on both floors, and very comfy sleeping accommodations. I will definitely stay with this company again. Do note, the driveway only fits 2 full size SUVs max, and there is no street parking available.

Family vacay

Was a great trip. Overall the house was great. We loved the balcony. It was our shortest walk to the beach and the walk was a nice docked area. The only thing was the outdoor grill has seen its days. The downstairs shower lacked a bit of privacy. But overall a great trip
