Guests Flying - Be aware of what's not provided or mentioned

House was great, location was great, Gary was easy to work with. Pool and backyard was awesome to come home to after day at the beach. However, the guest who is flying into area and not driving needs to be aware of things NOT provided but needed. Especially at a beach house. No hair dryer no pool toys, nothing for beach, chairs, cooler, towels etc I have been renting beach houses for years and never had this be an issue before. Just something to think about. Amy

Wonderful Vacation Home!

We had a great stay here! Communication with Gary was fantastic from start to finish and he helped us in any area we needed. The location is great and is a short walk to the beach as well as to many other fun places to visit on the coast. The house was very clean and had all the accommodations that were great for our family. We had a minivan and a truck, so parking is a little snug and had to play musical cars a little bit but we made it work. We would absolutely stay here again!

Great central location and beautiful home!

Our family of four had an awesome time at Always Summer! We rented a golf cart and found our favorite beach access nearby. We could walk to the beach, The Old Florida Fish House (our favorite), or take a short golf cart trip to Seaside or The Hub. Gary (the owner) was very responsive and took care of everything we needed. The pool was beautiful, and we enjoyed wrapping up the days with a night swim. The bedding was perfect, and my wife and I decided to look for those sheets and mattress when we got home. Our best 30A stay, thus far. Great job, Gary!

Wonderful Fall Visit

We had an excellent stay at this beautiful home! Communication with the owner was great and he was prompt to respond. The kitchen is very well stocked and perfect for cooking meals at home. The rooms are spacious and the beds are comfortable. The neighborhood is very quiet and peaceful. The walk to the beach is easy (we had adults and teenagers so everyone could easily carry something). The pool area is perfect for afternoons after the beach. The house was very clean and had everything we needed for our weeklong stay. We would definitely stay again if we return to the same area!

We stayed here for our family vacation and it was a perfect house for our two small children. The pool was great and the accessibility to the beach and surrounding towns were great! Gary was always checking in and was very kind. The beds were very comfortable as well. We appreciate the hospitality and thoroughly enjoyed our stay!

The perfect beach house

The beach house was wonderful - fresh, coastal decor, clean, spacious and convenient. Easy and secure access system. It was great having two master suites, three full baths and the downstairs bedroom, as well as third floor area with a 4th half bath and huge rooftop deck. Kitchen and bathrooms had everything we needed. We loved all of the balconies and decks and the beautiful little backyard with palm trees and a nice and private pool. Easy walkable beach access, though most days we took a golf cart to beach access about a mile away or went into Seaside. All very close. Would definitely return and recommend.

Beautiful house and pool

We had a great week at this property. The house is beautiful! The kitchen is updated and had plenty of cookware/utensils etc. The beds were very comfortable, and the house had plenty of space for us. The pool was wonderful and offered a good amount of privacy. The house is on a quiet street. There is home construction occurring across the street, but the house is so well insulated that we couldn't hear anything when inside, and they weren't working early/late and only a few days during the week overall, so we barely noticed it the whole week. I would recommend renting a golf cart if you have small kids, because there isn't a sidewalk or pathway along the road for walking to beach access and is a 5-10 min walk depending on which beach access you're going to. The Ramsgate beach is a little nicer but a further walk since you aren't supposed to cut through the private walkways between properties. We loved the house and would definitely stay there again.

great week

The property was as advertised. Gary was personable and easy to reach. He even went the extra mile to return a cell phone left behind. The kitchen did have some stocking issues such as no salt and a few missing kitchen utensils. Please note, there are no pool inflatables. Overall, we had an enjoyable family vacation.

Relaxing stay on 30A

My family and I very much enjoyed our stay at the “Always Summer” house! The location was great. We were far enough away from all of the hustle and bustle of Seaside, but close enough to hop on the golf cart and be there within minutes. We did have a little bit of a walk to get to the beach, but it was not bad at all. The house was very clean, well stocked, and all of the beds were very comfortable. The only slightly negative thing that I have to say about the property would be that the pool is a little on the smaller side, but obviously any private pool is a plus. We would definitely recommend this property and consider staying again in the future!

Wonderful vacation

We enjoyed a wonderful vacation at 'always summer'. The house was exactly what we invisioned and more. The house had everything we needed. We enjoyed being close to the beach, and enjoying the pool in the afternoon. The house was clean and the beds were Comfortable. We rented bikes with the rental company that Gary recommends and got a great deal. There were lots of shops/restaurants within walking/biking distance. The only negative was that there was quite a bit noise during the day from construction in the surrounding area, but we had a lovely stay and will likely be back. We loved the 30a area, specifically seagrove!

About the host

Hosted by Gary Hinrichs

We fell in love with Seagrove Beach and the 30A experience on our first family vacation in 2004. Over the years we have made many family memories enjoying the beautiful emerald green waves at our neighborhood beach access, building sand castles, catching crabs, riding bikes through the many scenic neighborhoods, paddle boarding on Western Lake, catching Red Snapper and Grouper on a chartered fishing trip, soaking in the sun on our pool deck, star gazing from our third floor observation deck and eating some of our favorite beach foods like smoked tuna dip or key lime pie!

Why they chose this property

We chose Always Summer because it fits all the criteria of a perfect vacation home on 30A:

Location
Our home is centrally located on 30A with the beach communities of Seaside, Watercolor and Grayton Beach just 5-10 minutes west and Alys Beach, Seacrest Beach and Rosemary Beach just 5-10 minutes to the east. It is easy to enjoy the many unique restaurants, shops, architecture and activities that each of these communities has to offer. If you want to visit Pier Park at Panama City Beach you can drive 25 minutes east or if you want to enjoy the shopping, restaurants and activities of Destin you can get there by driving 30 minutes west.

Beach Access
We wanted a home that would have a short, easy and safe walk to the beach for young children and elderly grandparents. It's just a 5 minute walk from our front door through a quiet neighborhood before you have your feet in the sugar white sand of the Emerald Coast.

Private Pool
We wanted to enjoy the refreshing feel of taking a plunge into a freshwater pool after a day in the salty ocean water. Our pool is truly private with a large pool deck surrounded by a privacy fence and a large green space behind the fence. The pool lights make it possible to enjoy this space even after the sun goes down.

First Floor Bedroom
We wanted to make sure that family members and guests that have difficulty with stairs would have easy access to a bedroom and bathroom.

What makes this property unique

Quiet Neighborhood
Our home is close to the beach yet hidden in a quiet neighborhood on a dead end road with little traffic.

Large Private Pool Deck
Many homes that boast a private pool have a pool the size of a postage stamp. Our pool and pool deck have plenty of space for everyone and it truly is a private space surrounded by a privacy fence and green space behind the fence.

Lots of Deck Space
With five different porches and deck spaces there is plenty of room for guests to find solitude.
