Perfect Getaway!
We had a girls weekend, celebrating a bride-to-be and had the best time! The house was lovely with plenty of space. The location was ideal and it was so easy for us to get to the beach and the pool. Tje neighbors were also really kind and helpful. The check out process was the easiest I’ve ever had. Would definitely stay again!

Beautiful 30A beach home
We had a great experience staying at this 30A beach home. The house was gorgeous, clean, and perfect for our family. The convenience that the golf cart provided, along with a close beach access made this week with 2 small children a breeze. The closest beach access is across the road and diagonal from the street where this house is located. Less than a 5 minute walk or a 1 min cart ride. This property is a very close drive (within a 5 minute care or golf cart ride) to many fantastic restaurants, coffee shops, grocery store, and bars. Needless to say if you are considering staying here, dont hesitate. Thank you again!

Seagrove Beach Perfect Location
This house was perfect for our group to enjoy the beach, which was only a few minutes walk, or the heated pool right across the street, or the nearby ice cream shop, restaurants, general stores & more. We also enjoyed that this house was a block off the Highway 30A so we easily got to neighboring beach towns, too. And our hosts were super responsive, within minutes every time we had a question or needed a recommendation. We had a flat tire on one of our bikes and it was fixed within 10 minutes, which was fantastic! Superior house in a superior location with superior service!! We can't wait to get back to 30A and we definitely have this house on our short list!!

Our Best VRBO to Date
Such attention to detail with the owners of this home. Owners are so generous and easy to communicate with. Everything was so well stocked and thought out. Beach chairs, sand toys, wagon, beach towels were so appreciated! Beautiful kitchen with all utensils and cookware you'd ever need. Easy three minute walk to a beautiful beach. The little neighborhood is so quiet and peaceful. Walkable shops/restaurants in each direction. Publix is five minutes away for groceries. We will stay here again if we return to 30a! Thank you for everything!

Beautiful place to vacation!
We stayed here with our 3 adult children, their spouses and 4 grandchildren. The bikes were a hit, and the beach was an easy walk. The house is conveniently located to nearby restaurants, grocery, donuts and ice cream. Kitchen was well stocked with good cookware and cooking utensils. Plenty of towels and linens. Beds were very comfortable. Furniture was comfortable and house was beautifully decorated. The ice machine was really nice. Lots of beach toys, a wagon and chairs to use. The pool was very close to the house. The owners were great to work with-answered any questions promptly. Just all around a great place to stay!
