Your journey to vacation bliss begins at "Grace Haven" (Formerly known as Flip Flop Therapy), a spacious, 3 story, 4 bedroom, 4 ½ bath, a home that will bring smiles to your face as soon as you enter. Our beautiful 2400 square foot beach home features light-filled living areas, 10-foot ceilings, hardwood floors throughout, ceiling fans, 4 porches, and a full-size washer and dryer - because sometimes you just have to do laundry even on vacation.
Ideally located about two blocks from our front porch is the 12,000 square foot Lagoon pool, a magnificent, relaxing retreat reminiscent of pools at the finest resorts. If you are looking for sand between your toes, you can either walk to the beach which is about 500 yards from our house or, you can call the free tram service, then hang out under the breezy fan on the front porch and wait to be picked up and transported, with your beach gear, to one of the most beautiful white sugar sand beaches in the world. Still sandy when you return home? Check out the outdoor shower on the locked bike shed behind the house.
The main floor great room has a large SMART TV and comfy furniture. Beckoning from outside the double French Doors, in our beautifully landscaped yard, is a dreamy white pergola complete with hammocks for relaxing between biking, swimming, shopping and eating.
If you enjoy grilling, the gas barbeque is also right out the back door just steps from the fully equipped gourmet kitchen which has quartz counters, a gas stove, stainless steel appliances, and an under-counter wine and beverage cooler. The dining room table comfortably seats eight with extra seating at the 13-foot kitchen counter which can also be used for buffet-style serving.
Our home, which sleeps 10 comfortably, has 4 bedrooms, each with its own bath, TV, and private porch perfect for morning coffee, catching the breeze while reading your favorite book, or experiencing the magical colors of the sky at sunset. The first-floor bedroom is ADA friendly with a king-size bed and wheelchair-accessible vanity and shower. On the second floor, the bunkroom sleeps 4 and is located in the front of the house. The 2nd-floor master bedroom, located in the back of the house has a king-size bed, double sinks, vanities, a separate tub, and a shower. The tower room, a private sanctuary, is located on the 3rd floor and also has a king-size bed.
GRACE HAVEN is also within easy walking and biking distance to shopping and dining in Seacrest, Rosemary, and Alys Beach. For adventures farther afield, the area boasts 18 miles of bike paths, numerous state parks, a Tom Fazio golf course – about 2 miles away at Camp Springs, deep sea, and lake fishing.
A leisurely 15-minute car ride on scenic 30-A takes you to Seaside, the quintessential beach town where the Truman Show was filmed. There you can enjoy weekly outdoor movies, a Saturday Farmer’s Market, dining, and unique shops. Speaking of shopping, a 15-minute ride to the East of our house will take you to Pier Park, a spectacular outdoor mall with shopping, more eating, a 16-plex movie theater and IMAX, and other tourist attractions.
We saved the WIFI info for last. Yes, we have WIFI although we hope as part of your experience you will be able to disconnect from work and life back home. Remember, you are on a well-deserved vacation.
Your only job is to enjoy our home and all the wonderful outdoor activities the area has to offer. Splash in the water, listen to the sound of the birds, engage with your family and friends, relax, walk, ride your bike, eat ice cream, laugh, read a book, do nothing, laugh again.
