Seaside - Angel in the Dunes

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

Surprise your special someone with an escape to this charming carriage home located in the famous Seaside community. Featuring shared pools (available for a fee), easy beach access, and all the amenities of home, your stay promises to be hassle-free so you can spend your time exploring!

Located just a short walk from the picturesque shores of Florida's white sand beach, you'll be less than two miles from Grayton Beach State Park, and a little less than 30 miles from Panama City Beach. Take scenic Highway 30A for a fun day trip, or stay right here and relax on the beach.

Just past the Adirondack chairs on the porch, the main living area greets you with refreshing central A/C and rich hardwood floors. Cuddle up on the love seat while you watch your favorite cable show on the flatscreen TV. Bring your favorite DVD and dive into a bowl of hot buttered popcorn to have an in-house movie date.

Whip up a delicious cocktail while the private washer/dryer does the laundry. Kick back on the patio while you sip your drink and connect to the WiFi to book a reservation at a local restaurant.

Listen to some music on the stereo while you get to work on something tasty in the compact kitchenette. Featuring a microwave, coffee maker, and mini fridge, making a few small bites or heating up some leftovers will be a piece of cake. You'll also have the chance to show off your grilling skills on the charcoal grill.

This one-bedroom, one-bathroom home is perfect for two people to enjoy a romantic escape (the maximum occupancy is three guests, with two adults at most). In the bedroom on the upper level, you'll be treated to a queen-size bed, direct access to a balcony, and a small sitting area. In the bathroom, there is a shower/tub combo and a modern vanity area.

Take your morning cup of coffee and a light breakfast out onto the balcony and enjoy the sweet sea breeze. Get all your beach gear ready for a fun-filled day on the sand. Stroll along the shore, or book a trip out onto the high seas to explore the local marine life with a scuba diving excursion.

Walk down the street to Central Square and wander through the charming shops to find the perfect souvenir to remember your trip. Head over to Grayton Beach State Park and rent a kayak to paddle through the waters and snap a few shots of the lush landscape. Treat your special someone to a fun-filled night out at the quirky Red Bar.

If you're looking for a stress-free getaway for just the two of you (or the two of you and the dog!), then look no further than this inviting Florida cottage.

In need of repair
Upon arrival on Sunday evening the downstairs air cond. was broke , didn’t want to bother on a Sunday evening, so we contacted the manger on Monday morning , and repairs was scheduled that day , advised them to call us since our pet was in the home when they was coming , as late evening came we was still advised they was coming Monday for service, so all day Monday was spent staying around seaside so we could get back in short notice, it was a no show , they advised on Tuesday they was coming and we had done made plans to be in destin and I advised just to forget about repairing cause we was going to leave a day early and that was Wednesday morning early ,then when we came back from destin we walked in the home to find a young man installing a portable air cond. downstairs , he was very nice and polite but they was advised to let us know so we could be there with our pet, the place was very disappointing for seaside, when I booked I seen a/c repair was back several months but kinda figured it was repaired, blinds on doors was a wreck , bathroom ceiling had mold on it , location is the only thing going for it, we feel like we wasted Monday waiting on the repairs, and we decide to leave early , sorry but this location will never be a option for us , house is in desperate need of some repair,

Perfect Location
This is a precious little hideaway and the location could not be better. The homeowners really do need to address the mold in the bathroom as it was over the entire bathroom ceiling and floor around the bathtub. Other than the mold issue it is a perfect little getaway minutes from the beach and Seaside Square!

Don't stay here!
The listing looked great and the location was great. The location was the only reason it got at least one star. It's one block from the beach entrance. That's the only good part of the story. Upon entering the rental, there was a strong musty smell. Found out it was due to the downstairs wall A/C unit dripping on the hardwood floor. Those planks were covered in black mold. The floor molding around the upstairs bathtub/shower was rotted, mushy, and covered in black mold. The wood floor planks next to the tub were likewise covered in black mold. The cloth outer shower curtain had black mold in patches. When we left and pulled back the bed sheets, the bed is covered in discolored spots presumably mold. Glad we didn't see that on the first day. The one couch had multiple stains on the cushions. Nearly all of the blinds were broken in one way or another. The kitchen had 2 spoons, 2 knifes, and 1 fork. There was a coffee pot but no filters. Immediately upon arriving, we notified Vacasa (the property management company) of the strong musty smell but received only a form response welcoming us to the rental. Didn't hear anything else from them until the standard "checkout" email. Terrible waste of money. Don't stay here!

Would not stay again!
The location of the cottage was great! However, the cleanliness was not. The comforter on the bed had a stain. The blinds were filthily, old, and looked as though they had been scratched for the white to come off. I had contacted the property manager a week prior to our stay to ask about the previous reviews of the mold in the shower. I was told that the mold was taken care of. It was not. There was mold on the ceiling in the bathroom, by the bathtub rotted wood and trim as well. The air conditioning was barely there. We contacted the property manager after our first night there, and they had a technician come out to check it. He said the unit was just "cheesy" and didn't run well, and there was nothing he could do about it. It never cooled off there. There was no where to really hangout at the cottage. The furniture was so small and uncomfortable. I do not think the property is checked on by the manager/managing company as it should be. We will be renting elsewhere next time. I believe remediating the mold, paint, replacing the blinds, replacing the air conditioner, and new furniture, the place could be adorable. The price we paid did not justify to the property conditions.

Needs improvement
The location is great, but I would not recommend or stay in this unit again unless it was refurbished. On the main floor there is a mishmash of furniture that looks like it was picked up from a thrift store. The upholstered chair is beyond well worn and has a leg that is bowed and looks like it may break. The loveseat (which is not the same one as pictured) is also well worn and needs replaced. The upstairs has a queen bed with an uncomfortable mattress, that also should probably be replaced. However, the biggest problem with this unit is the bathroom. Upon entering we found the tile and ceiling covered in mold and mildew which is partially a function of there being poor ventilation in the bath. There are two windows which do not have handles so you cannot open them and while there is a bath vent there is no other air circulation. When the door is shut to the bathroom it is very hot and steamy. The shower has a very slow drain and will fill up with water as you shower. We called the management company and they were very attentive, cleaned the bathroom and offered to move us, however since it was spring break and we had a pet we could not find an alternative location. The outside of the unit is very nice and we enjoyed sitting on the Adirondack chairs on the porch. The key selling point to this unit is the location which is a block from the beach and the main square of Seaside.

Angel in the dunes, seaside
As arriving we noticed the place having issues such as spots on the furniture spots worn stained pillows and very worn chair , no backing and you could feel the springs thru the worn seat cushion.Uncomfortable sofa, the blinds throughout the unit the paint was coming off. The only chair at the table the seat had a hole in it so you could not use it. In the kitchen there were only three forks ,two spoons and one glass and the upstairs bathroom had water damage around the tub and water damage on the wood floor .the bed was not very comfortable at all and we could not get out to the balcony. Everything needed updating furniture ,bedding ,kitchen accessories, utensils. But it was a great location and easy access to the beach very private we enjoyed our stay in Seaside but will not be coming back to that guest house.

Thanksgiving in Seaside
We went for a long weekend post-Thanksgiving. This is my favorite time of year in Seaside. The cottage was a great location and had the basics. It met the needs we were looking for. There aren’t really any “extras”—no hair dryer, many utensils, extra blankets, etc. Though not very lavish, I still wouldn’t hesitate to stay here again for a short-notice, unplanned getaway.

Small Guesthouse
The house was really small and needed updates. The furniture was uncomfortable. The outdoor furniture was in really poor condition, needs to be replaced. The stovetop did not work and only a hotplate to cook on. You couldn't cook more than an egg. House was dusty. It was close to the beach and had lots of nice areas to walk.

Great location - needs some TLC
The overall stay was great. Loved the location. Easy beach access and close to town center. However, it’s a little run down. Beat up walls, broken outlet covers, coffee pot didn’t work, the furniture wasn’t very comfortable. The biggest issue I had was the dirt of the air filter. It looks like it hasn’t been changed in years. Again, if you don’t mind a little dinge, the location can’t be beat.
