Perfect getaway
Perfect getaway to the beach. The property location can’t be beat. Short walk to the pool and toThe Big Chill which is directly across the street. Short drive to several beach access points. We love the Walton Dunes access location. Minutes from Seaside, Alys and Rosemary Beach, as well as 30 Avenue. Lots of options for dining and shopping. Highly recommend Idyll Hound Proper for food and drinks. The property itself is well appointed with everything you need. Bikes and scooters for fun activities . The host is very informative, attentive and focused on making your stay amazing. We will definitely be back! Thank you for the opportunity to stay in your beautiful condo.

Beach Vacation
We had a wonderful vacation at Big Chill 30A! The check in/out process was clearly communicated. Ernie texted a few times to make sure everything was going well and that we were not having any issues. Class Act from beginning to end!

Great location with everything you need!
This was our 3rd time to 30A and the best location yet. The community is conveniently located in the middle of where you want to be. The house was as described, very comfortable. The kitchen was stocked with everything you’d need. It was clean and the beds were comfortable. We played Sorry when it rained the one day and listened to Ernie’s music on the Alexa! The binder was a nice touch for those not as familiar with the area. The only thing I’d say wasn’t so clear were the beach access points. They are not easily accessible like other areas on 30A but we figured it out. Overall, it was a great trip. Thank you for opening your home up to our family!

Great Unit Even Better Host
The unit was clean, nice, modern and perfect for our family of 4. Safe area let our kids run around in the community at night without concern. Close to both Rosemary and Seaside, easy to get anywhere on 30A. The scooters made the trip so much fun, one of the highlights. The host is off the charts good; he really cares about the guests and experiences which is worth a lot as he focuses on the little items that matter (including big ones) and strives to positively impact your experience. Highly Recommend!

Great location, clean, excellent service!
Ernie was wonderful to work with and the rental was super clean! We needed a last minute rental within a few days of when I booked it, and Ernie answered all of my questions, communicated promptly, allowed early check-in, and texted regularly to check in. Would definitely stay again and the location was perfect for the Big Chill, pools, etc.

Wonderful winter getaway!
Clean accommodations with a kitchen well stocked with new dishes and appliances made for a wonderful winter getaway! Shops, restaurants, and 30A were all across the street and easy to walk to and enjoy. Having scooters and bikes available was an added bonus. Beach access was down farther on 30A, harder to walk to but still accessible. The owner was always easy to contact and work with….we definitely will be back!

Home Away From Home!!!
MY wife and I are on leave due to a newborn and we decided to take a trip down to 30A for a change of scenery. Ernie and his team were exceptional hosts! From working with me from the beginning of booking until checking in with me after we departed. The property is exactly how it is detected on the photos. The community was nice, clean and quiet but partly due to us staying during the off-season which was perfect for us and a 2 month old. There was nothing missed from his team from the moment you booked until you entered the property. The place offered everything you needed for your stay. It was clean and tidy to perfection. Bedrooms and bathrooms were spacious. We spread out just to make sure we used the space. We slept in the king size bedroom and used the double bed room as place to hold our clothes and change. The kitchen was equipped for anything you needed. From making cocktails to cooking a meal. Even had some condiments and seasons available I'm sure are leftovers from prior guests. But the most wonderful thing of all, that was just over the top for me was the detail in the handbook. It was filled with every thing a guest needed and could think of. Quick access to codes, check-in/check-out information, property and beach information and food recommendations. Bravo for the time and commitment you all give to your guests. It’s prime time location to Big Chill. Although it was not as busy as the open-season it was still great to walk over and grab lunch. We will be back!

Absolutely perfect
If I could rate this stay with more than 5 stars I would! My adult children and I made memories to last a lifetime. The scooters were so much fun to explore the area on and Ernie texted me several times to check in. I highly recommend booking this one! We look forward to staying at Sea Major again in the near future.

Cute but needs some updates
While I appreciate the owner and property managers response to the issues we encountered, being this was our family vacation for the year I was frustrated to have issues. Some vacationers might not care and look at this as a place to sleep and shower between the beach. 1) Location - the community is great and located across from The Big Chill with shops and dining - family friendly. The community pool was a nice addition and we met several other families there. We liked the walkability too. 2) Easy to access several beaches nearby. 3) While the unit itself is cute, I was frustrated about the condition - gnats galore - which we were provided traps by the property manager that helped but obviously didn’t resolve the issue. I’m sure some of it was brought on by the trashcan outside with maggots and rotting trash… maybe it was a fluke? I don’t know but we spoke to other families staying in the community and none had any issue. 4) Cleanliness - Dusty, stained toilets, dirty bowl and silverware in drawer. :( 5) Appreciated the games and kids toys for the beach. One of the reasons we booked was because chairs and umbrella - there was 1 umbrella missing the extension to actually use it successfully at the beach. Obviously not a deal breaker but not something we wanted to go out and buy. I’ll say that it was cute and we will have great memories from our trip, but unfortunately was disappointed and not completely up to par or 5-star standards in my book.

Amazing!
We absolutely loved our stay here! The house was clean and very nice. The host, Ernie, was amazing, so nice and so helpful. He responded quickly to any questions we had and made sure to help get a pack and play delivered to us for our baby. The house is walking distance to Prominence’s nice pool and The Big Chill. The scooters are so fun too. We didn’t want to leave and Ernie even tried helping us find another place to extend our stay. We loved it here and you will too!
