Seaside - Nobellah's Retreat

Our calendar is updated in real-time & our nightly rates are accurately displayed. Simply enter your desired dates and click 'Book Now!'

Spend your days soaking in the warm southern sun and melting the stress away when you book your getaway to this Seaside home. Make a quick cocktail and head onto the balcony or patio to kick back on the outdoor furniture.
Boasting shared amenities like community pools (available for a fee) and a fitness center, you'll be surrounded by possibilities for fun and relaxation. Nestled in the desirable Seaside community along Highway 30A, this house gives you easy access to the charming town square as well as the community pool. Take an early morning stroll through the Town Square and grab a fresh pastry and hot cup of coffee at one of the local cafes before shopping at the unique stops. Then pack the cooler and get your beach gear ready for a sun-drenched day on the postcard-perfect beaches.

The expansive main living area opens into one large room, creating an open floor plan framed by towering vaulted ceilings and a bevy of windows. The dark hardwood floors and chic lighting fixtures combine with a pallet of clean whites to create a tranquil and inviting atmosphere. Dive into a bowl of popcorn while you catch up with your favorite cable show on the TV. The private washer/dryer will prevent clothes from piling up while you enjoy the comfort of the central air-conditioning. Head into the kitchen when hunger hits and put the gourmet appliances to work. With a coffee maker, microwave, and gas range, you'll feel like a network star while you whip up a dish everyone will love. Enjoy your meal at the rustic-chic wood dining room table.

You'll be treated to an en suite bathroom with a luxurious soaking tub in the primary bedroom. One guest bedroom has another en suite bathroom, and one has lofted bunk beds with a built-in ladder for access (kids only).

Two crates are available; dogs should not be left unattended or let on furniture.

Treat yourself and your group to a vacation they won't forget when you book your beachside escape to this Florida home. Make memories that will last a lifetime.

Great location and helpful layout!
Our stay involved 2 families - 11 in total. It included one family with 4 kids (14, 12, 9 & 5) & another family with 3 kids (12, 9 & 7). We had a great time in Seaside & found the house to be a great fit for our families. Pros: Absolutely loved the location - very convenient to beach, pool & amphitheater! House layout was perfect for 2 families. Allowed for adults to wake up early & move around without waking up the entire group Outdoor shower was perfect for rinsing off kids & beach equipment House was well equipped for dogs: 2 fancy kennels in the foyer & other folding kennels available if needed Bathroom facilities were modern but all associated with bedrooms. Late evening bathroom breaks after kids were in bed needed to be well planned Kitchen was well equipped with cooking utensils but did not include any spices/condiments Cons: Compared to other places we've stayed in Seaside, the porch was very small Stairs (more of a ladder really) up to the 3rd floor are very steep & require extreme caution to navigate. The steps & the bunk beds on the 3rd floor are definitely not for small children under the age of 4 Small problem with pool passes. Pool passes were not included for this property so we had to pay additional if we wanted to use the pools. We added these but they were not in the house when we arrived, so had some small issues accessing the pool the first day. We thought the pool passes were relatively expensive & not worth it as an add on

Neglected
August 2022. Not our first time in this area, but first time at this particular property. It has a wonderful floor plan, the photos were impressive, and it is steps from the beach. It could easily be a five star if the management company and owners would pay attention. It is such a shame that it is so neglected. Upstairs bedroom: most of the upstairs bathroom vanity cabinets will not close, towel rod on the floor with a hole in the wall where it belongs and drywall pieces on the floor, something sticky dripping down wall in toilet room under the light fixture, very musty smell in the bedroom and bathroom. Upstairs tandem bedroom: water leak stain on the ceiling, strong musty smell, and blood stains on the comforter. The attic loft: extremely musty smelling, only accessible due with a tall vertical ladder, blinds are dusty, torn and hanging. So we decided not to use the loft. Downstairs twin bedroom: blood stains on the mattress (there are not mattress covers/protectors on any mattress, only a fitted sheet), mold in shower. Downstairs queen bedroom: mold in shower. Kitchen: garbage disposal pours into the cabinet then out onto your feet because the PVC is not connected and loose (it is likely a long standing problem since the bottom of the cabinet is so warped), we chased a large roach on the counter into the sink to catch it and kill it. Living room: the 4 table chairs are stained and dirty, we used a towel to cover them so we could sit on them. Stains on couch and chair as well. Most of the extra quilts and pillows were on the floors of closets, not on the shelves so we did not use them. During our 4 night stay we made 2 calls, one upon arrival and another the day prior to departure, to the management company and left a messages with whomever answered the phone. We took photos just in case they wanted to know exactly what needs attention, but we did not have any return calls on these matters. I would not return to this particular home.

Furniture Cleaning
Good day, the house is really good, the cleaning of the house was perfect. BUT the cleaning of the furniture doesn’t invite you to seat down at the TV couch and also at the small dinning table. Also you rent me the house for 4 days and you left me 2 trash bags, 2 bath soaps, etc. You should leave at least the necessary things for your customers to keep the house clean and could take a daily shower, it supposed to replace a hotel.

Home is located in Seaside, close to the beach and the square. House was clean and had all amenities. The 3rd floor loft was warm during the day and being April the temp was not that bad. Can’t imagine what it’s like during June and July. Overall it’s a nice house in a great location.

Poor communication
Did not receive communication like I was told. Then the week prior to my stay I get messages from the property manager asking for head counts because I would have to pay an extra $180 plus tax in order to be able to use certain facilities of Seaside. This would not have been an issue had it been in the description.

Location couldn’t be better
The house is super cute, and the location couldn’t be much better. Very close to walk to the beach with easy access, and also to walk to the Seaside town square with the main shops and eating places. The property managers were great and easy to work with. We would definitely stay again, just for the location. The house itself is charming especially the front room which you can see from the pictures. The porch was set up perfect to sit outside. The 2 downstairs bedrooms and 1 2nd floor bedroom are fine. Bathrooms aren’t huge, but there’s a high capacity tankless water heater so no problem competing for hot showers. There is also an outdoor shower with hot water which was fantastic to rinse off with after the beach. The downstairs bathrooms could use a little TLC, as there was mold visible in some places and one could definitely use new caulking. Sometimes the toilettes had issues flushing, but never bad enough to call the property managers. A little bit of work on the bathrooms by the owners could go a long way. The kitchen was small, but had plenty of pots, pans, and dishes. Also about 10 corkscrews, lol. Good for cooking light meals. The property listing could use a better description of “the loft”, which is up very steep stairs (more like a ladder) on a 3rd floor level. It isn’t air conditioned, but with the A/C set cold on the 2nd floor and the fans in the loft running, it was pretty comfortable. There are 2 bunks (4 beds total) with chairs and a TV, and windows on all walls. Not great for sleeping adults, but our 3 kids (7, 10,13) LOVED it. It was like their own private kids room, with everything they wanted. Overall, if you tried to push to the sleeping capacity of the house it could feel really crowded. Great house if you have kids that can climb into the loft. The house is set up great to enjoy the beach and all Seaside has to offer. Location, location, location.

Great location! House has lots of room. Main living area larger than expected.
House / design is Great ! Location to beach and town center of Seaside as good as it gets. Rated a four because in need of a deep cleaning. Cleaning crew had to come in and clean areas they missed such as refrigerator & showers. Showed up immediately. Carpet needs to be replaced in the master (buckling and dingy). Bedding needs to be replaced . Typical items that get worn out w/ so many rentals. Kitchen appliances were outstanding. Bathrooms spacious. Bunk room very large, sleeps 4 easily. Main living area larger than pictures show. Will stay again given the chance mainly because of location and size of the house. Rental company good to deal with. Thank You we had a great stay!

Hurricane Laura
We evacuated from Lake Charles,Louisiana during Hurricane Laura to Seaside. This home was perfect. GREAT location with beach access a block away . Plenty of room for my family, and pet friendly (don't leave pets when evacuating) Geraldine at Vacasa was very friendly and helpful. We did call about the AC not getting cool enough. Problem was promptly addressed and fixed. The kitchen could have used some sharper knives and some mixing bowls. It had plenty for basic cooking. I cooked every meal( hurricane not vacation):) the living area could use an update. Seating was just ok. Television extremely small and not set up well with the furniture. We took butterfly chairs out of a bedroom to provide more seating. There were 6 of us. Renting bicycles was key . Ride bikes everywhere. Town square, Modica market ( which has great selection of necessities and wine:)Even rode bikes to Publix, and Alys beach. There is a small guest house directly behind this home that is rented separately which could be used by friends or more family(called angels dune?) Love Seaside. Would LOVE to go back . Side note: the owners or the rental company were gracious enough when we had to extend our evacuation and the home was available, to let us continue with the lower rate we had originally rented the home for. Thank you :) Grateful from Lake Charles

The property was great, very convenient location. However, communication about codes for the house, gates, beach access was very poor. Needed beach. umbrella/chair code. No one at the rental agency knew what that was. Codes given for beach gates were wrong so access was difficult. Had a question about parking but couldn’t get that answered. The rental assistance for such matters was coming out of another state across the country. They were unfamiliar with details about the property! Glad there wasn’t an emergency or else it would have been a real disaster.

spotty wifi
When we checked in, there was 1/2 roll toilet paper, no soap and minimal towels. I had to call but they came and brought us within 4 hours. With 5 kids, the wifi was not good, very spotty which buffered constantly when we tried watching movies. Also the couch and chairs were old and very uncomfortable. They need to consider replacing those and the mattresses. Location was good, close to food trucks, beach. Overall I would find somewhere else that was better updated.

Nobellah’s Retreat was perfect for our girls retreat!
The house is perfectly located, just steps across the street to the beach. Also, very close to the center of Seaside where all the restaurants and shopping are. We came for a girls weekend for my Aunt’s birthday celebration. There were 6 of us. My one warning is that if you are a group of strictly adults, I would not count the loft as a bedroom. It is accessible by a ladder and is extremely hot. There are fans, but no air conditioning. You would not be able to bring your luggage up their either. It really is just for kids. The little room off of the master had a trundle that was our saving grace. Besides that, the house was great. Beware that there are ZERO condiments, so if you want to cook at home, you really need to buy everything. Also, there are no beach towels, so be sure and bring your own(which thankfully we did). All of the small issues we had, were quickly resolved. We would definitely stay here again, and bring our kids!

The property had great proximity to the beach and seaside. The house and furnishings are adequate, but not as nice as rentals a couple of miles away from seaside dollar for dollar.
