You will experience full privacy and a well thought out furniture arrangement with a full length, private front porch, sure to help you relax after a day of beach go-ing. 4 Bikes are included at no extra charge.

Pets will be considered but will require an approval with pet inquiry and a paid pet fee of $150 per pet per reservation.

But why "The Truman Retreat" you ask? For years we have loved the movie, The Truman Show. We learned while on a trip to Destin that The Truman Show was filmed In the wonderful beach community of Seaside, just a short drive from Prominence. Throughout our beach home you will see small nods to the movie. May your stay here be a break from reality.

We hope you find comfort In our private rental. Our hope is that it be a way escape the hectic pace of everyday life and experience a sense of peace and relaxation, just like Truman did when he left his fake world behind. May you enjoy the sea the same way Truman did. May you enjoy the patio and find that it is the perfect space to lounge and watch the world go by. We hope that The Truman Retreat will be the perfect spot to disconnect and unwind.

Wedding Stay

We stayed here for a wedding weekend... it was centrally located between Rosemary/Alys and Seaside, so convenient to restaurants and shops. And directly across the street is the BIG CHILL (with lots of food options).I was also VERY impressed with how responsive the owner was to our questions via text. I never had to wait for her to reply... she literally responded right back!The only caveat to this location, is that there is no direct beach access. You can bike or drive to several, but not walk. Other than that, its great!

Cameras INSIDE the condo - owner did NOT disclose this

When I arrived, the security person immediately rang the doorbell and told me that I cannot park on the street - I explained I was unloading and that I just arrived. She was extremely rude and demanded I move my vehicle to the pool area. Then the owners starting texting me asking me that they saw security at the door. They NEVER disclosed that there was an active camera on the front door. Then, I walked inside, there was a CAMERA INSIDE the home as well as INSIDE the garage. None of this was mentioned in the rental contract. I was SHOCKED. I wanted to leave immediately, however, the rental contract says NO REFUNDS. It was, by far, the worst stay I have ever experienced. I will never visit this property again or the community it is in. There were so many unacceptable things about this property - the worst being the cameras inside the home and the security people who were over-zealous and rude. BUYER BEWARE!!!

Perfect location!!!

The owner of this property is absolutely fantastic to work with !! Oh Don’t think twice about booking this beautiful two bedroom two bathroom two master suites location. Right across the street is restaurants & Cell shopping hub literally that is directly across the street. You will also have a golf cart that will get you to 30 a up and down from Seaside all the way down to Rosemary Beach The townhouse was absolutely perfect. Looks like a model home inside and was spotless clean everything was perfect. I would give this at 12 out of 10. That’s how great it is. Don’t hesitate to book this, especially if you are looking for privacy.. I went with a friend of mine so she had her master bathroom I had , my master bathroom TV and all the appliances are up-to-date and modern, truly second to none … Book it !!!

Perfect 30A rental

We loved our stay! This rental was very clean and roomy for our family. It is in the perfect location in 30A. Our daughters especially loved the golf cart, quick trips to the Big Chill, and the property pool. The host is a great communicator from booking, to packing, and throughout our stay.

Exactly what we needed!

Our first trip to the area and we are so glad we found this spot! Our host had great communication from the time we booked to the time we checked out. Easy check-in, clear instructions! The home was sized great for our family of 5 - the bunk room for the 3 kids was great, we did not use the pullout couch in the living room. The dining area and kitchen are more than enough to work with. The pantry is perfect for stocking up for the week and the kitchen is great to cook in. We enjoyed coffee on the deck each morning looking west watching the sun come up over the tree line. We did not spend much time at the pool, we took the 5-10 min drive to seaside for the beach! We'd book this location and property again, it hit all the boxes without any snags to worry about!

Family 30 A vacation

This was our family's first time to the 30A area and we can't wait to go back! The Truman Retreat was amazing, definitely one of the cleanest and well-stocked rentals we have ever been to. Our kids (8 and 5 y.o.) enjoyed the bunk bed room. The bikes, golf cart, and beach gear were fun to use. The location was great, close to the Big Chill which was so fun, taking the golf cart to the public beach access was easy, the pool was so clean and nice. We loved every minute of our trip. Such a neat area!

This property was a dream! The host was extremely accommodating and communicative leading up to and during our stay. The property was nestled in a beautiful community that was family oriented and convenient to all beaches, restaurants and activities. It was spotless and had everything we needed to road trip with our little one. The beach gear, golf cart, pack and play, stroller and wagon were so incredibly helpful. The spot was beautiful and comfortable and the host recommendations didn’t disappoint. I would rebook in a heartbeat. Thank you!

Best vacation ever!!!

Had a wonderful stay at the Truman Retreat! Amanda was amazing and made every aspect of our stay simple & easy. Amanda was quick to respond to any questions and provided timely info in regards to check in/check out. The unit was the gorgeous and was the cleanest place we have ever stayed. It was equipped with everything we needed and more! The golf cart was also very nice for getting back and forth to the beach, pool, The Big Chill, Seaside, etc. This is a great location for exploring 30A. We really loved the heated pool and proximity close to beach access. We also loved being across the street from The Big Chill. This unit is centrally located, close to Rosemary & Aly’s Beach to the east and Seaside & Grayton Beach to the west. Thank you to Amanda for a wonderful trip. We are already planning our next visit!!!

Clean, convenient, and fun.

It was a great trip for our family. The condo felt new and very clean. We enjoyed using the bikes and golf cart. The weather didn't cooperate, but we still had plenty to do. Our kids enjoyed the heated pool and we enjoyed the convenience of having dinner a couple of nights across the street at the big chill.

Amazing family beach getaway

This place was amazing! Perfect location centrally located on 30a away from all the crowds during spring break. We loved taking the golf cart everyday to the state park beach, not overcrowded and perfect for families. Extremely clean and the decor was very esthetically pleasing. I am very particular when it comes to cleanliness too! Communication with owner was excellent. I had a few questions before the trip and she was quick to respond and went above and beyond. She even checked in during the stay to make sure everything was okay. We travel a lot and I would say this the cleanest, and most responsive an owner has ever been. We can’t say enough positive things and we would recommend this place to anyone!

The Truman Retreat was the perfect place with the perfect location. We really enjoyed the neighborhood and how close it was to The Big Chill, beaches and restaurants on 30A! The condo was beautiful, very clean and any questions we had were answered promptly. We took advantage of the golf cart and chairs to watch the sunset most nights! 30A has become our happy place!

The Truman Retreat is AMAZING!

The Truman Retreat was amazing. It’s a beautiful rental, looks exactly like the pictures! I came with my sister and boyfriend for about a week. This location was perfect for us. The rental is located in Prominence which is directly across from The Hub and in between multiple cute towns on 30A. Our host was incredible and facilitated all of our needs quickly, including getting bicycles fixed for our stay. I highly recommend this rental! I would definitely come again.

Beautiful 30a Rental

We booked this rental as a last minute getaway and we are so glad that we did! This unit was super clean and had everything that we needed plus more. We had more than enough space for our family of 5. Communication with Amanda (the owner) was amazing, as well. You can tell that she and her husband take pride in this property and want to make sure that you are taken care of during your stay. 10/10 would recommend!

About the host

Hosted by Gabe and Amanda

We are new to hosting but excited nonetheless. Our favorite thing to do at home is host others, so being able to offer our home away from home to others with the ability to allow memories to be made is something that most excites us in this process. We live in a southern suburb of Nashville, TN where we have resided since 2018. Prior to that we lived most of our lives in Las Vegas, NV. It's safe to say we went from Vegas to Nash Vegas! But truly we appreciate the slower pace of the South!

We love middle Tennessee, but look for any opportunity to visit the beach!

Why they chose this property

We fell in love with 30A from the moment we first drove down the avenue. When we stumbled upon Prominence and The Hub (now called The Big Chill) across the street from the neighborhood, it was entertainment for all and good food to go with. It was then that our dream to own a piece of 30A paradise and being able to share our home with others was something we quickly sought out to make come true. We're happy you're here and hope you love it as much as we do!

What makes this property unique

Upon purchase of the property, it was our mission to turn the good bones of the structure into a relaxing and beautiful retreat for families and loved ones to enjoy. From the neutral decor with a touch of coastal flare to the well thought out placement of furniture and our ability to maximize sleeping space, it's a wonderful retreat away from home and we hope you find it to be just that.
