Amazing home with great amenities

Our experience was great. We had 4 total couples stay at the home for the 4th of July and everyone was very comfortable. The house has spacious bedrooms and bathrooms, and the the kitchen/living room is open-aired with a nice porch. One of the things that we appreciated most was all of the beach accessories that come with the house. They have tons of chairs, umbrellas, coolers, bikes, etc to where we didn’t need to purchase anything or bring anything. The house also comes with a golf cart, which made it incredibly easy for us to get to the beach. Months prior to our arrival, Jennifer and I were texting back-and-forth in preparation for the trip which made it very easy. Would definitely stay again.

It was such an amazing place to stay!!

We stayed here over Spring break and had a wonderful experience. The home was spotless, comfortable, and beautifully maintained-exactly as described. The neighborhood was peaceful and safe, and we loved having easy access to the beach and pool. The host was responsive, friendly and the guest guidebook was priceless. The tranquil back porch was a favorite morning spot for coffee and bird watching. We would absolutely stay here again. Highly recommend for a perfect vacation! Thank you!

The back porch is one of our favorite spots too—there’s nothing better than a quiet morning with coffee and nature. We truly appreciate your recommendation and would love to host you again anytime!

All boxes checked! ✅

I can’t say enough good things about our stay at “Zee by the Sea”! Beautifully decorated, well stocked for cooking, or just relaxing with a book. Cozy beds, linens, comfortable furniture. The beach towels and blankets were a great bonus. The shed was a fun surprise with everything in it for a perfect day at the beach or pool! Chairs, floaties, ice chests, bikes….you name it! We all enjoyed the pool across the way and met some great people there. We loved how quiet and secluded the house was…but just a quick golf cart ride away and you were on bustling 30A for shopping, or at the beach. Our group included adults, young adults, high school age, and two toddlers. Jennifer and Eileen were phenomenal with suggestions or answering questions. It was like having your own personal concierges just a text away. I don’t think we can top this stay, unless we book Zee by the Sea again! ❤️🏖️☀️😎

We couldn't have asked for a better week-perfection!

From start to finish, booking and staying at Zee by the Sea was seamless and amazing. From the moment we arrived, everything exceeded our expectations. We were welcomed with a spotless, spacious, and beautifully maintained home. Every room was thoughtfully decorated,and the owners, quite literally, thought of everything! The kitchen was fully stocked, the beds were incredibly comfortable, and all of the amenities made it feel like home. Our favorite spot for coffee in the mornings or after a long day at the beach was on the back porch relaxing on the bed swing. We also loved the enclosed outdoor shower off of the Master suite. The location was another huge plus — close to the beaches, restaurants, and local attractions, yet still quiet and peaceful at night. Though private beach access was provided, we actually didn't use it because the public accesses were just as close, had golf cart parking, and made our walk to the portion of the beach that you weren't required to rent chairs, much closer and easier. The host was incredibly helpful and responsive throughout our stay, making the entire check-in and check-out process smooth, easy, enjoyable, and stress-free. You can tell they truly care about their guests having a great vacation. We made unforgettable memories during our stay and can’t wait to come back. This home is the perfect choice for anyone planning a relaxing and enjoyable 30-A vacation!

About the host

Hosted by Jennifer Goemans 608-576-1947

Host profile image
We’re from the Northwoods of Wisconsin and love spending time with our children and grandchildren on the lakes of northern Wisconsin — fishing, boating, and simply being together. We’re just as drawn to the ocean as we are to Wisconsin’s forests and lakes, and we cherish time spent outdoors, near the water, and making meaningful memories with family. Hosting allows us to share that love of nature, connection, and relaxed time together with our guests.

Why they chose this property

We chose this neighborhood because it’s just off 30A, giving the perfect blend of convenience and coastal charm. We love the Emerald Coast and the feeling of small, friendly coastal communities. The neighborhood itself is tucked away and quiet, set back from the main road with a beautiful stone drive and lush, wooded surroundings. Coastal plants and natural landscaping give it a serene, private feel, making it a true escape. Just steps from the house, you’ll find a stunning resort-style pool — perfect for relaxing mornings or sunset swims. It’s a peaceful, safe, and inviting spot where you can unwind, enjoy nature, and still be close to the beaches, shops, and restaurants that make the area so special.

What makes this property unique

What makes our property truly special is the screened-in porch with a swing, string lights, and views of lush wooded surroundings filled with coastal plants and natural landscaping — a peaceful retreat where you can relax to the sound of birds chirping and pines rustling. The second-floor private outdoor shower offers a spa-like experience with soft lighting, a wooden floor, and natural stone surroundings. Inside, the large gourmet kitchen is fully stocked for family meals and entertaining, featuring premium appliances and thoughtful touches for convenience.

Location is another standout feature — the beach is just down the street across 30A, with private deeded access as well as nearby public beaches. You’re also close to Alys and Rosemary Beaches, offering the best in shopping, dining, and small coastal-town charm. This combination of serene outdoor spaces, luxurious indoor amenities, and unbeatable coastal access makes our home a one-of-a-kind getaway.
