We really enjoyed the space of this house, the location (and 3rd floor views) to the ocean, and the proximity to Seaside. It was also wonderful to watch the University of Michigan beat Ohio State on the 3rd floor balcony, with the sun shining bright! Go blue!!

We enjoyed staying at this house. It was very close to the beach and fit our family of six adults and one child perfectly. I did try to reach out to the property company before our stay about a pack and play and they never responded. We also had a smoke detector that had a battery dying and they didn’t have a service guy available to help us. Other then that I would highly recommend the property.

Reviewer Comments:
Our group consisted of three families, and this home was perfect for that. The kids had a blast bunking together and the three master bedrooms (each with a bathroom) worked well for the parents. The home is just a short walk to the beach, and steps from the community pool. The only rating below in which I did not give five stars was general condition because the pots and pans need to be replaced, but that is a minor gripe, and I would definitely stay here again.

This home is a wonderful, family-friendly vacation rental that includes Gulf views and is steps from the generous community pool. Located just a short walk from the gorgeous, white-sanded beaches, you’re less than a 5-minute walk to the emerald water of Seagrove Beach for the beach vacation you've been needing!

Wonderful home- plenty of space for everyone. Super close to 30A and Tom Thumb (very handy!). Beds very comfy. Would recommend black out curtains- is super bright in the AM (ok if a morning person). We didn't find the noise of 30A an issue. The beach access is private across the street so you do have to walk about 1/4 mile down to Tom Thumb OR the big high rise Condo to access beach.

Currently, we have no other reports of mold, but we will do a thorough inspection to ensure the safety of all. Please reconsider staying with us in the future, as we would love the opportunity to serve in the right way.

Baum's Away is a super nice, super clean, and very spacious house. It is great proximity to the beach, restaurants and shops. The only caveat to this house is, its on the 30A, the first house to the entrance of the neighborhood. I wouldn't recommend it to light sleepers or families with young children that do not sleep well. If you can get passed the noise, go for it! We really enjoyed ourselves and would definitely book again. Seagrove beach is much less crowded and Seaside. We used the public beach access next to Legacy Condos. Beach service is available there for $50 day, if you don't want to carry your own stuff. There's a pool, which a nice change from the ocean, with plenty of loungers. Overall, great place!

Baum's away is a great home with a great location on 30A! It was spacious, comfortable and plenty of room with our group of 9. Easy access to the pool, beach, and donut shop. Minutes away from Seaside and The Hub. We enjoyed the accommodations and would consider staying here again. Right next to 30A so quite busy to for beach access with small children. Traffic is loud and bank lighting is quite bright in the bedrooms. Overall great home, but limited amenities (could use some hot pads and kitchen towels in the kitchen).

House was roomy and had nice outdoor space (two balconies, front porch, and back porch). Very close to community pool, though we came in winter so we didn't use it. Several restaurants close enough to walk. Very convenient golf cart ride to many others. Ten minute walk to beach access. Negatives: right next to busy street so often loud; bank next door has bright lights on all night; home was lacking some things that other rentals provide, namely beach towels, beach chairs, sufficient amount of laundry detergent and dishwasher detergent, salt and pepper. None of the electrical outlets on porches worked, making it difficult to charge our golf cart. Otherwise a very nice house in a convenient location with plenty of room for a large family.

Tracy, thank you for taking the time to leave us a review. We appreciate your kinds words and feedback. We are sorry to hear that you had issue during your stay, we would have been more than happy to come out and look at the outlets during your stay. However, we were not made aware of any issues during your stay and we were not able to address them for that reason. We are sorry to hear about the issue you dealt with Beach towels as well. Beach towels are not an amenity that we offer, guest have to provide their own Beach towels. We do provide a starter back with laundry detergent and dishwashing liquid, that is to get you started for your stay, guests are to provide their own after that. We are sorry if that was not made clear before your stay. We are happy to hear that you were still able to enjoy your time here. It was our pleasure to host your family and we look forward to hosting you again soon.
This was one of the best trips to the beach we’ve ever had and part of that was thanks to this amazing listing. It was beautiful, as described. It was so close to the beach and close to shopping and restaurants. Close to pizza places and ice creams places and donut places. It was close to a convenience store and a beachy store. The 4 bikes provided was such an awesome extra! On top of that the ease and prompt responses were so helpful when communicating with the renting agency. We will 100% be using this place again we hope. Lucky for us weather was amazing. This trip was one of our most favorite vacations. I took myself and seven kids ages 18 to 6 and we all had a blast.

Baum's Away was the perfect rental for our group of four. Clean, beautiful and location, location! We wish we had a larger group, as we left so much of the expansive home untouched. After extensive research in the area, staying in Seagrove gave us access to the hustle and bustle of Seaside...along with Seacrest, Alys Beach, and other adorable communities nearby...plus the tranquility of returning to our peaceful home at the end of the day. I chose this rental because of the ocean view and the beach access (without the price), just a quick walk across 30A and a block down. There and several great restaurants within walking distance, and Tom Thumb is a block away for any last minute things you forgot. The bonus was the credit towards the backpack beach chairs which held our water and snacks for our times on the beautiful white sands of Seagrove Beach. At the end of the day we would return to the refreshing pool for a little down time before going to dinner. The kitchen had all we needed. It would be wonderful if you added beach towels, as we ended up buying some. But all in all, we were totally in heaven during our stay. I would love to return and bring the whole family! Thanks for your communication and help booking our stay.

We loved our stay here. Management was super responsive and nearby. Neighborhood pool was large and never too crowded. 2 min walk to beach, 1 min by bike and many restaurants within golf cart/biking distance! We loved Angelina’s Pizza Across the Street and the Donut Hut for breakfast. No early check ins and you get kicked out pretty early so we were stuck for a while waiting around for our flight, but other than that the property rocked! Would definitely return.

Cute hiouse
Overall a nice house, but had to contact the property manager about the water because it was never hot water for taking showers. Our entire stay we had to take cold showers. The maintenance guy came out and said he could not find the water heater and would be back with a key to the locked closet but never showed back up. The floors were dirty when we first arrived and was not cleaned by the cleaning crew prior to our stay. It looked as though they have not clean them in over a month. We cleaned our feet every night before getting in bed because it was so dirty.

Reviewer Comments:
Beautiful home that was perfectly described and lived up to our expectations. Spacious rooms, loved all of the king beds and big fully stocked kitchen. Home is right off the main highway and close to the pool and beach entrance, great location! Because it is on the main drag it is next to a bank with very bright lights which are hard at night. Needs some blackout curtains which is my only suggestion.
