Our group had a fantastic stay at this property! The house was very spacious with a nice one-story layout that worked perfectly for our two families. Everyone had plenty of room, and the beds were super comfortable. The location is excellent - situated in a quiet area, with short walks to the beach and Seaside for dinner and shopping. Having the pool was a perfect bonus feature that we all loved for relaxing end of day swims. We would definitely stay here again!

This is a beautiful property with an amazing pool this Cool in the month of August. The perfect dip after a warm day at the beach. I think because it was the end of the season there was a bit of wear and tear that I did not expect like: Bleach on some of the sheets and towels. No large skillet.Trouble locking the front doorBroken toilet seat, but nothing big. I appreciated the quick response to all my messages with kindness. I loved all the trees around the house that gave privacy. I didn’t like to have to take the sheets off all the beds before we left and take out all the trash for the price that I paid for the cleaning fee. I love that they had a coffee station, Xbox, large master bath, and great location! I had no problem having Walmart groceries delivered to the house and it was a quick trip up to Publix if I forgot anything from Walmart. We also reserved beach chairs at the time dogwood beach entrance.

Love this place!

This was our second time staying here and it was just as wonderful this time as it was the first! The living space is so nice and open for everyone to hang out together and having the pool right out the back door (as opposed to 3 flights of stairs down like a lot of other nearby houses) is so convenient! The short distance from the beach and Seaside is also such a bonus! We just love this place and will definitely be back!

Seaside 2025

We had a great time at this house. This was our 4th visit to Seaside but the first time at this location. The house was perfect for our group of 6 (it could have held more). Although an older house, it must have been recently updated in the kitchen. We especially liked the huge common area.

The bedrooms are spaced nicely. The beds were comfortable. The kitchen is amazing. We actually stayed outside by the pool mostly.. wish we had been able to stay longer to enjoy the den and back porch more. The walkway to the beach is magical. Great memories with our grown sons!

About the host

Hosted by Cyndi Miller

Host profile image

This property is owned by Tracy and Cyndi Miller, Nashville, TN.

Why they chose this property

We have been visiting the Gulf for years, and we have stayed in a number of properties along the coast from Perdido Key to Destin to Panama City Beach. We were drawn to 30A year after year due to the beauty of the beaches, exceptional dining, unique boutiqus, and the friendly community! The old oaks and unpaved sandy roads were an appealing aspect of Old Seagrove, and we set our sights on owning a vacation home in that area. The home itself is open and airy with plenty of open space for sitting and relaxing with friends and family. Outdoor sitting spaces are provided either poolside, grill side, or out under the pines and oaks. Great seafood, burgers and ice cream are just steps away, as well as great clothing, art and jewelry finds! We love to head out to the beach in the morning, walk down to Seaside and grab a coffee or a fresh juice!

What makes this property unique

Park your car in the driveway, toss your keys on the counter, grab those flip flops, and walk 2 minutes to the beach or Seaside City Center. Rent some bikes, and you can ride to great food, great shopping, and beautiful parks! Seaside, Seagrove, Watercolor, and Grayton Beach are all fun to explore by foot or by bike!

We use VRBO and Homeaway exclusively to have personal relationships with our renters. You don't call a rental company or property manager with questions, you call US! The house is well maintained by our local maintenance/handy man! Problems, while rare, are addressed as quickly as possible!
