About this property

Gulf Front on the Beach - Sun, sand, and water will be your view from every room

This is a single family home with a 2-car garage. The Master has a King Bed with attached bath with shower. The 2nd and 3rd bedroom share a bath on the same level with both a tub and shower. All three bedrooms have views of the Gulf. The exterior decks on all 3 levels provide outdoor living at it's best. Enjoy morning coffee on the deck just outside the master suite, soak up the sun on the cushioned lounge chairs on the private beach just off the bottom level deck and enjoy a BBQ & social gatherings during sunset on the second level deck. The powder white sand and blue green waters of the Gulf just outside the back door are what dreams are made of. At night the wood burning fire pit on the beach is perfect for a gathering of family and friends while the moon dances on the water just steps from the back door.
It is located in a gated community which provides privacy and tranquility yet is close to many wonderful restaurants and activities.

We have stayed at Sea La Vie the past 3 years. We absolutely love the location and the house works perfectly for our family. The house has it all, from comforts, to amenities and of course, the wonderful gulf sunsets. We can be as relaxed or as active as we want to be.

Another wonderful beach stay!

This is the third time we have stayed at Sea la Vie and there are so many reasons we keep returning! The house is just perfect, we love the covered porch as well as the outdoor areas and lounges. It’s great to have the fully stocked kitchen and the gas grill for easy meals. Everything we can think of is there to make our stay beyond compare. I loved the charming wooden mermaid puzzle! We hope to return again!

Sea La Vie = Gulf Sunset Paradise

Our family of 7 (4 adults and 3 children - ages 7-8) stayed for a week. The house is as described, with plenty of room, clean and comfortable for our family. The house was stocked with many essentials to get started. We spent most of our time by the water's edge, but we also enjoyed the views from the different decks. We had 2 vehicles parked in garages with plenty of room as well. Great restaurants and shops nearby. The beach access cannot be beat. We love being able to walk right up to the sand. Overall the house was excellent. Our family made new memories. We try not to miss any sunsets, every single one is different...

My husband and I enjoyed a perfect week and couldn’t have asked for a better place to stay. Being able to relax on the beach, soak up sun in the lounge chairs, walks on the beach and amazing sunsets. Close to wonderful seafood markets to bring back fresh seafood and prepare a feast in the spacious kitchen that includes every cooking accessory needed. Then to enjoy dinner on the deck and watch the sunset. If you get the urge to go out and about the options of nearby great restaurants are numerous. There is also so much to see and do, shopping, nature, water adventures and so much more. Overall, our stay was fantastic and every amenity needed was provided and then some. Very clean, communication great and not an issue to be had. We hope to come back to Sea La Vie again and enjoy this wonderful slice of heaven!

Sea La Vie was a perfect location. The beds were very comfy and the house was clean! They had toys and chairs to use. The car garage is a plus as well. We have 3 kids under 7 and it was very accommodating for our family. Would definitely stay here again! The Indian Shores sunsets and sunrises were spectacular. Water was clear most days! Enjoy a pic of the moon one of the mornings we stayed there.

Enjoyed our stay

Loved the location of the property and the proximity to the beach. Our group enjoyed the umbrella and lounge chairs in the yard which meant we never had to set up on the beach. Overall, an enjoyable vacation. Have rebooked for 2026. Only issue was with the beds. We were not fans.

This was the second year in a row at Sea La Vie for our family of 7. Everything from the location to every single accommodation of this house is outstanding. Spacious, clean and comfortable. Sunsets continue to be highlight of our days. We love spending family time here during our summers. Looking forward to future visits.

Can’t get any better than this!

Absolutely perfect spot on the beach. It took my son 37 seconds to run from the backyard area to the water. We had the luxury of sitting under the porch, the top balcony or at the dining table in the AC to watch dolphins. The beds are super soft, in fact I’m buying the same bedding for my home. The house is stocked with anything you need and minutes from great food. The sunsets are beyond beautiful and even rainy days are worth watching. We are already checking the calendar to book again!

Wonderful and fully stocked

Absolutely loved our stay at Laurel’s beach home. This house was stocked with everything we could need to enjoy our stay and have a great time! Laurel has done a great job at putting much thought into the place! Really enjoyed having a closed in garage as well along with having a fridge in there for our easy grab and go beach drinks. The view was excellent as well. We enjoyed using the fire pit one evening for making s’mores along with utilizing the baggo board for a fun family evening. Will definitely book this home again!

About the host

Hosted by Laurel Enloe

Host profile image
We purchased this property in October 2014. Two months were spent renovating and furnishing it with a goal of providing ourselves, and our guests, with a little bit of luxury and relaxation in a beautifully decorated space. We all deserve the best while on vacation. Sea La Vie --- our little piece of paradise we are happy to share with you.

Why they chose this property

We fell in love with this peaceful and serene strip of sand on the gulf coast which also has several fun spots nearby to be social and meet new people. The sand is pristine, the water warm, blue, and beautiful. The privacy of the beach makes this the perfect spot for relaxation.

What makes this property unique

The thing we enjoy the most are the Views! The home has unobstructed ocean views from almost every room including the main living area, master bedroom, and guest bedrooms. Guests will enjoy high quality bedding, remodeled bathrooms, new washer and dryer, top of the line outdoor furniture, and fire pit for outdoor living at it's finest! Each of the 3 balconies provides special moments. Morning coffee on the rocking chairs outside the master suite is delightful. BBQ's, social gatherings, and sunsets on the second level deck are spectacular. Our favorite spot however is our own private beach on the ground level. We have cushioned lounge chairs to soak up the sun during the day and Adirondack chairs circling a wood burning fire pit on the beach during the evenings. We hope our guests enjoy it like we do...
Sea La Vie -- throw your cares to the sea...and enjoy!
Laurel & Dirk Enloe
