Area and Community Attractions: Discover the charm of Seagrove, a beach neighborhood that locals and guests love. Lush oak trees, magnolias, and pines have spread deep roots in Seagrove — and so have long-time visitors who keep coming back. Laid-back but luxurious, Seagrove is a place that embraces variety. From upscale boutiques to casual cafes, this beach neighborhood offers a little bit of everything — including two rare coastal dune lakes, a state park, and sugar-white sand. Pack a picnic, fishing pole, and binoculars — and witness how stunning Seagrove is in its all-natural state. Its sugar-white sand has been a peaceful retreat in South Walton for decades; here, old and new Gulf Coast style merge to create a charming beach neighborhood with everything one may need for a truly relaxing getaway.

We loved this house for a recent girls trip. The location is lovely and the house is beautiful. It comfortably slept our group and the wrap around porches on the upper and lower levels are wonderful!

Great Beach House!
Beautifully decorated, and the location can’t be beat! The house is located literally steps away from the beach entrance. We loved being able to bike to Seaside and Watercolor. Many restaurants and shopping options nearby. Our family had a great time!

Loved this cottage inside and out. The beds were super comfortable. The kitchen and open concept made for an enjoyable stay. Plenty of outdoor living spaces included. The shed is full of everything needed for the beach! We would definitely return to Cottage by the Sea! Like home away from home.

This was in the perfect location & it was such a cute home. The perfect beach vibe. All of us absolutely loved the house and said we would come back. My only complaint is when we went to do laundry, the washing machine smelled very mildewy, as I know that is common with front load washers. Overall, we had an amazing time here.
