About this property

Cloud Nine Seacrest Beach - Walk to Rosemary & Alys! Outdoor living on 5 porches

Cloud Nine is a 2900 sq. ft. home located in the South Walton 30A community of Seacrest Beach, nestled between Rosemary Beach and Alys Beach. We constructed Cloud Nine in 2016 to bring our extended family together at the beach. Cloud Nine comfortably accommodates multiple families with two indoor living areas and five separate porches! Situated on a corner lot, we have plenty of parking for vehicles. The third-floor outdoor kitchen and dining/living space are amongst the largest in Seacrest Beach at 550 sq. ft., with a beautiful view down palm-lined Seacrest Beach Boulevard. Cloud Nine is owner managed - and we strive to make each guests' stay special - so everyone can experience the magic of the area we love so much! If you have any questions - submit an inquiry - we are quick to respond!

If you are looking for a little more space or a private heated pool, please look at our new home three blocks away- The Sanctuary at Seacrest Beach - Vrbo 4276518.



Cloud Nine is a professionally decorated, three-story home perfect for an extended family rental. It sleeps and feeds 16 comfortably. With a first-floor living room, third-floor recreation room, and the third-floor outdoor living area, there is plenty of room for everyone to spread out. Large flat screen 4K UHD wall-mounted TVs are in the living room, recreation room, and third-floor outdoor living area. All five bedrooms are equipped with wall-mounted 32” HD Smart TVs.



The fully equipped kitchen features sequoia quartzite counters. Stainless steel Kitchen-Aid appliances include an oversized French-door refrigerator, dishwasher, down-draft gas range, built-in microwave, and a 50 lb./day icemaker to get the coolers ready for the beach! Table linens, dishes, utensils, and glassware for 16 are provided. The dining room table seats 8, with room for 4 at the island, and 4 more on the front porch. If you are looking to seat all 16 guests, head to the beautiful 3rd-floor deck, where you'll be able to enjoy dinner for 16 at one table! Of course, all of the small appliances needed are provided as well: a 4 slice toaster, coffee maker, mixer, crock pot, and heavy duty blender!



A full-sized washer and dryer are located in the first-floor laundry closet. The rear entry of the home (closest to the pool and beach), features a cubbie storage area for your beach bags and shoes. We have provided 8 beach towels for your use. In the outdoor storage, you will find a wagon, a small cooler, beach toys, six beach chairs, and an umbrella. The outdoor shower is conveniently located next to the outdoor storage to rinse the sand off of everything, and everyone.



The first of five bedrooms is located at the front of the house, across the foyer from the powder room. This bedroom features a custom queen bed, walk-in closet, and on-suite bathroom that is user-friendly for the mobility impaired. The walk-in shower features a Delta massage shower head and a separate hand-held shower.



You will find three bedrooms on the second floor, all arranged for maximum privacy. At the top of the stairs, the bunk room is straight ahead. It features two sets of custom-built twin-over-full bunk beds to sleep six. There are four under-bed storage areas and a chest of drawers for clothing.



Down the hall to the left is a beautiful queen bedroom with a seating area, walk-in closet, and access to the second-floor wrap-around porch. This bedroom is a serene, light-filled nautical hideaway. There is a pack n' play available in this room as well for the wee-ones.



As you come up the stairs on the second floor, there is a common bath that serves the bunk room and second-floor queen bedroom. This spacious bath features a tub/shower combo perfect for bathing the little ones. The vanity features two sinks and ample under-counter storage.



At the end of the hall on the second floor is the primary bedroom. This oasis features a king-sized bed, walk-in closet, ample seating area, luxurious master bath, and access to the second-floor wrap-around porch. Make a fresh cup of coffee in the Keurig located on the second-floor stair landing and sneak onto the porch to watch the sunrise! The primary bath features a Carrera marble walk-in shower with a Delta massage shower head and hand-held shower as well. The Cambria vanity features two vessel sinks, and the deep soaking tub is perfect for unwinding after playing with the kids on the beach all day.



Moving to the third floor, you will find the fifth bedroom. It has two queen beds, a walk-in closet, and a Juliet balcony with beautiful views of the nature preserve behind Seacrest Beach.



The fourth full bath is located on the third floor. This bath has a large walk-in shower with cabana stripe tile, and a beautiful dual sink shadow storm quartz vanity.



The recreation room on the third floor features a custom sectional and two ottomans with a 50” 4K UHD flat-screen TV. An Xbox 360 is available for gaming. We have a Keurig in the rec room, so those sleeping on the third floor can enjoy their morning coffee on the third-floor outdoor living area. There is also a beverage fridge in the rec room for the later-in-the-day drinks!



The spacious outdoor kitchen and dining/living area are one of the largest in Seacrest Beach. The kitchen area has a natural gas grill, sink, and storage for grilling utensils and towels. Please note, no other grills or fire-pits are allowed on the premises. There is a second set of outdoor table linens, dishes, drinkware, and utensils stored in the rec room cabinets. The dining table seats 16! Perfect for large family gatherings at the end of the day. The living area is anchored by a custom sectional with ample seating and a 55” 4K UHD TV.



Seacrest Beach is a pedestrian and bicycle paradise. The community also provides a complimentary tram service to and from the beach access from March through October. Simply call the tram number and wait at the corner just off our front porch for a fun filled quick ride to the beach access. For the safety of all, rental golf carts or LSVs are no longer permitted in Seacrest Beach.



Cloud Nine is only two blocks from the resort-style 12,000 square foot Seacrest Lagoon Pool. Complete with waterfalls, fountains, and two bathhouses, this is the largest pool in northern Florida. While enjoying the pool, order drinks and food from the Seacrest Cafe on-site. A true resort experience! In addition to the amazing pool and sugar-sand beach, the shops and restaurants of Rosemary Beach, and the Villages of South Walton are a short walk away. You can rent bikes, shop, grab a cup of coffee, or an afternoon cocktail, and get ice cream for the kids. You will want to be sure to visit Charlie’s Donut in nearby Alys Beach at least one morning. Get there early, as the gourmet donuts sell out quickly! The kids always enjoy a trip or two to the Sugar Shack for candy as well. Seacrest Sundries is a quaint general store and café that has just about anything you need in a pinch. There are multiple award-winning restaurants within walking distance, including LaCo Coastal Latin, La Crema Tapas & Chocolat, and the Cowgirl Kitchen. During spring and summer evenings, the Villages of South Walton feature live outdoor entertainment.




We hope that you will find our home and the 30A area as magical as we have. It is the perfect place to make the memories of a lifetime. We will do everything possible to ensure you have a heavenly stay on Cloud Nine!

Great location and lots of space

We had 3 families with a total of 15 of us stay in this house over spring break. The house was very clean and spacious. It was in a great location, with easy access to the huge resort style pool and a short walk to the beach. There were plenty of separate spaces for us to gather in smaller groups or even altogether without feeling cramped. Would definitely stay at this property again!

Top notch stay!

Usually I am a bit leery of Vrbo, however Wendy and Cloud Nine were phenomenal. It was an easy walk to the beach and pool, and the house had plenty of room to hang out in! It was our first time to Seacrest, and we can’t wait to come back.

Highly recommend this beautiful home for a family vacation. Coffee and breakfast in the downstairs kitchen at the family table was the perfect way to start our days at the beach and the amazing pool! Bike rides in the beautiful & safe neighborhood, or riding in to Rosemary Beach, not to mention Dinners on the huge 3rd floor deck complete with grill, refrigerator and a table that easily accommodated all 16 of us!! We made some awesome memories and hope to come back. Thank you Wendy for making our stay so special!!!!

About the host

Hosted by Tom and Wendy Mueller

Host profile image
We are Wendy and Tom Mueller from the St. Louis, MO area, and just like many families in the STL, our family has been vacationing on Florida's Emerald Coast for over 30 years. In 2013 we decided to embark on a new adventure and began the process of building our vacation home. Cloud Nine was completed on August 1, 2016. We have been making priceless memories ever since and are more in love with the area than ever. We manage our home ourselves, and enjoy hosting hosting guests who treasure our home as we do!

Why they chose this property

We fell in love with the pedestrian lifestyle of Seacrest Beach and the surrounding areas of Rosemary Beach and Alys Beach! Once you are settled for the week with groceries, you won't need your car. Walk or bike to local restaurants, shops or the luxury resort pool. Call the tram or walk four blocks to the beach.

Seacrest Sundries is a perfect little shop to pick up the odds and ends that you may need during the week. Riding bikes along Scenic Highway 30A towards the coastal dune lakes is amazing! If you venture a little further, the shops and restaurants at Seaside are always great to experience.

What makes this property unique

Our home is newly constructed in 2016 - and it lives well! Not only will 16 guests sleep comfortably, they will also be able to visit comfortably. And, find a little quiet space when needed!

Our large outdoor storage located next to our outdoor shower is great for storing coolers and beach gear. The unique cubbie area near the rear entry is the perfect place to leave beach bags and flip flops - keeping your vacation organized. The living room, third floor recreation room, and four porches provide plenty of places for small groups to splinter off when they need a little time away from the rest of the group! Relaxing on the third floor deck and watching the sunset over the rooftops is a perfect way to end a day at the beach!
