About this property

The Best Beach-Front House “Get-A-Way” in Florida

This oversized, 4000 sq. foot multifamily building is split into three totally separate townhomes. Each of which lives as a separate house-- very quiet, private and the best part of all is that you have THREE MILES OF PRIVATE BEACHFRONT -- many days, it’s all completely to yourself-- 50 steps from your front porch. As we all know, this just does not exist in many places anymore. And I don't just mean blah, blah, beachfront, I mean a beautiful beachfront that's an adult’s, as well as a kid’s paradise. Kids and dogs run free, all of which can be watched over from the large, private front porch, holding a drink in hand and nap ‘round the corner. Just look at my pictures. I have grandchildren and there is no, I repeat no place, they would rather be than at the beach house at St. Teresa. We go as often as we can- which is why anytime it's not rented, we’re there. Another year or two and I will stop renting it again. There’s a reason why there are only 3 or 4 rentals on all of St. Teresa Beach- it’s priceless. Go see for yourself. You'll go back, I promise.

Another Great Stay at the Forgotten Coast

When we come to the Rising Sun, we decompress. Mornings on the porch with coffee, a slow walk on the beach with a clear mind, then a fantastic fire in the pit while star gazing. This one is a keeper!

Wonderful 4th of July

This is a beautiful place to stay right on the beach. With a covered front and back porch, there is so much room for a family to hang out. The kitchen was great too and the beach was right out the back door. Very dog friendly beach and very friendly people! Can’t wait to go back.

Perfect Get-Away

My husband and I along with our two small dogs were looking for a place to relax. This was the perfect spot. The dogs were able to run free without their leashes and took their first ocean swim. The back porch was perfect for reading and listening to the ocean. Can’t wait to come back!!!

Amazing Property

Seaglass was the perfect property for a family vacation. The property was bright, clean and the front porch so welcoming. Everything that we needed for cooking was there. The beach is secluded and perfect for young kids. Rachel, the host was very responsive with any questions.

Second stay here

We knew after we stayed here in 2022 that we would be back. With small children having the beach be your backyard is unbeatable. The home is beautiful; the furniture is very comfortable, and it continues to be the most relaxing vacation for our family. Our children have so much fun here. Lifelong memories. As long as this home can be rented we will keep coming back.

True beach house, gorgeous beach!

Great space that opens onto a lovely, uncrowded, beautiful beach! For us, to be able to have the living room and primary bedroom each open onto this spacious screened-in porch, which is 20 steps from the ocean was absolutely perfect! We sure hope to come back!

We have stayed at multiple rentals on STB, and this house was one of our favorites. Great location on the beach, wonderful and spacious back porch, comfortable house, outdoor shower, and owner provides everything you need for a perfect and relaxing beach vacation with the family.

Slice of Heaven

It was the most relaxing week we have had in a long time. We came with friends who stayed in the other unit and it was so relaxing knowing our children could play while we relaxed on the porch. Sharks, snails and sand everyday!!! Thank you for such a great experience!

About the host

Hosted by David Wamsley

Host profile image
I've lived in Florida for over 20 years total; Tallahassee is my home. I spend a lot of my time at this beach house, working remotely and only rent it very few times per year. It's a one of a kind place, you won't soon forget how special this place is.

Why they chose this property

I've lived in homes and stayed in vacation spots around the world. From San Francisco, to Kathmandu, Nepal. From Paris to a remote parts of Belize. St. Teresa Beach is just a special place. You have to see it to understand. Don't get me wrong, I love Rosemary Beach Florida (was just there), Miami, Malibu, CA and even BoraBora, which is a complete rip off, but this place can hang with them all.

What makes this property unique

Right on the gulf, period. You just don't find true ocean front places anymore, without lots of people.
