About this property

Entire place

You'll have the entire home to yourself and will only share it with other guests in your party.

Fish House, stay someplace cool.

Stay someplace fun. The Fish house comfortably accommodates family and friends in a great location with unique architectural character and many amenities.....this place is a great escape. The open living/kitchen/dining space upstairs is like being in a tree house with a twist. Downstairs are two identical bedrooms with queen beds, closets, built in storage drawers, and wall mounted TV/DVD. In between the two queen bedrooms is a four twin bed bunk room for the kids or whomever…with private reading lights and a sliding barn type door. Two full baths with stone floors as well as a laundry room are also conveniently located on the lower level.

Upstairs is an open living room, dining area and full kitchen, along with another bathroom, ascend the ships ladder up from the second floor deck to the 3rd level sun deck with covered trellis. Hang out in the hammock or lay back in the lounge chairs up in the trees with a peek to the ocean. Wireless internet access is included throughout, with wired access points in strategic locations for added convenience.

The house is a short stroll…450 steps, to the best piece of beach there is. Eastern Lake flows into the gulf and makes a safe haven for floating in the shallow current or chasing fish with your net. It is also a great place to skim board, kayak(included), paddle board (included) or hit the surf. A community pool (not heated) is available for guest use in season.

If you don’t feel like cooking in the full size, fully equipped kitchen or barbequeing on the charcoal grill, there are plenty of nearby restaurants and conveniences from Grayton to Seaside to Watercolor…you will be at the center of all the best.

This is a great value. Save your money for shopping, eating out, having fun….or stay two weeks….you deserve it.

We rented this place bc last summer some of our friends stayed and recommended it! It has everything you need and is a nice set up. There are 4 bikes, boogie boards, a paddle board, and 2 kayaks for the kids and adults! There is also access to a pool nearby but we didn’t utilize it and it’s close enough to the beach you could walk or bike but we rented a golf cart from 30-A bikes and they had it delivered when we arrived and took care of coming back to get it! Very easy and convenient. Lots of natural light in the living area which is on the second floor and bc of all the windows and elevation you feel like you’re in the canopy with the birds! The balcony/patio areas are nice as well. Nice washer/dryer. Hot water was never an issue (as in we never seemed to run out which is a common complaint at most beach rentals to me) and also want to add this place I believe has a water softener system so no nasty smelling hard Florida water scent IYKYK! Oh and one more addition this place is in close proximity to all the best restaurants! Florida Fish house is one of our favorite places and it’s right around the corner, about a 3-5 min golf cart and Buddy’s Seafood is in the same parking area! Would recommend this place to anyone wanting a prime spot in Seagrove!

Great location and plenty of room!

We loved how close this house was to the beach! My teens loved the upper deck to hang out on as well. The bikes were great to have getting around town. We were disappointed the pool use was no longer available as advertised, but we made the most of our beach time. Owner was very responsive to any needs we had.

Nice clean place with great bones! Lots of places to sit and visit. The water was a bit farther than i thought, so we didn’t get to use the kayak. The walk to the lagoon area and ocean was a 10 min or so walk to the end of the street. Same with the community pool. The beach was beautiful and a lot less crowded than the place my brother stayed at in town.

This is our 2nd time to stay in Fish House. It is perfect for our family of 6. We love the neighborhood, location on 30A, and our favorite is the beach at Eastern Lake. It’s a short walk or even shorter bike ride. Our family recommends Fish House!

Nice property owner - no unit perfect

No rental unit is perfect - this is what you’d expect for the price. Very kind accommodative host/ owner. Beach location is nice to access and not too crowded. Unit like most rentals could use updates to furniture etc. but overall, clean and easy to use for a week. Very quit street and area with short walk to coffee, ice cream, etc. perfect for low key family experience.

Best of both worlds

The Fish House was a unique place to stay. It was back in the woods off the beaten path, but very close to the beach. It was simple and nice, and the bikes and paddle boards were a huge bonus. The one downside is that the water in the lake is pretty high and you have to cross it to get to the beach. I guess when I read that, I thought it would be ankle deep. Great place otherwise. Thank you.

Great location and property!

We really enjoyed the location— spacious, comfortable, and a well designed layout. This street in Seagrove Beach is quiet and has very easy access to the beach. It’s also very convenient to town (Seaside) but protected from all the crowds and noise. It was perfect for our family outing. Highly recommend.

Perfect Location, Cool Home Design

I was familiar with the property (designed by the owner- architect) but never stayed in the home. Comfortable with modern mid-century touches similar to a Danish or Amsterdam home. The beds rooms are cozy and quiet located on ground floor. Bunks comfortable for older people. Location is my favorite on 30a, steps away from the Eastern Lake-Gulf outfall. Definitely will rent again.

Great for teens

The property was great. Comfy home and a great location. My only issue was not having a lock on any of the bedrooms, some of the bathrooms and the upstairs air was not working, which was ok because all bedrooms are downstairs. House is a very short walk to the beach and pool and the added paddle board and kayak were a huge hit for our teens. As well as the hang-out spot up top. Would definitely stay here again.

Totally recommend!

This house met all of our needs. Great location with easy beach access to a great spot on the beach - Especially if you have little ones, the Eastern lake shallows are the most perfect baby pools. The house is on a private lot on a quiet road in comparison to other properties in the area. Our teens loved being close to Seaside and the food trucks plus the kayaks and Paddleboard on Eastern Lake were great to have availability any time. We loved everything about the area. The owner is very responsive, we would definitely stay here again.

We enjoyed our stay and the house had everything we needed.

We had a little trouble regulating the temperature upstairs. We had to keep the unit downstairs pretty low to keep it cool upstairs, especially if using the oven or stove. This made it very cold most of the time downstairs but that was better than it being too hot. Closing the blinds and bringing a fan upstairs was helpful. The owner has plenty of beach toys my kids enjoyed using. They also had chairs we took to the beach, which was nice! Unfortunately, after taking the two yellow chairs all the way to the beach on the first day, we found they were broken when we tried to sit in them. We set them to the side. We left a crab net and a new intertube for the next family to enjoy. It’s a bit of a hike to the beach if you have little ones and you have to cross over two lagoons so get the ocean. We bought an inflatable boat and that helped getting things to our spot each day. Overall it’s a wonderful place to stay, lots of kids and families and we had a great time!!!

Good property, responsive host

We had a delay in check-in when we showed up and the place was not cleaned from the prior stay. We had to call the host who had someone come over immediately to clean, but did a spotty rush job. After that initial issue, the rest of the stay was fairly smooth. The internet was inconsistent during the stay though- functional, but wouldn't recommend if you're trying to work and take teleconference meetings while you're there. Host was extremely responsive and apologetic- I understand these things happen. Property is unique and a convenient location. Kayak and bikes were a nice touch. Overall, I would recommend.

Exceptional space, convenient location

Fish House is in a quiet pocket of Seagrove, a five minute walk from the beach. The house has a wooded lot on one side and another wooded lot behind, creating more privacy than is typical for homes on the area. The house itself has excellent open living spaces, both inside as well as outside on three decks. Lounging on the roof-level deck was a daily treat. We used the kayak nearly every day and recommend driving to nearby Eastern Lake Park boat ramp, on the eastern shore, for an easy launch spot. The house is just a block from the 30A bike trail. The beach of course is incredible.

Fantastic Week at Fish House

Pros: - One-of-a-kind house with unique architectural features (especially the fun rooftop) - Very short walk to nice, uncrowded beach - Very short walk to great restaurants (highly recommend the Perfect Pig for brunch or dinner) - Two kayaks, paddle board and two bikes included (we drove a kayak to the beach each day and our son had a blast) - Fun bunk room for the children Cons: - The house has some contemporary features. So it may not be for everyone (low beds and stairs to rooftop may be tough for the elderly). - Downstairs carpeting could be updated, but you are getting the house for a great price. It didn't bother us. Overall, the unique architectural features, proximity to beach and restaurants, price and included amenenties make it a great place for a vacation. My nine year old's quote just after our arrival, "Dad, this is like the coolest house ever. How long are we staying?!"

Awesome Find on 30A

We really enjoyed our stay in the Fish House. The rooftop deck with hammock was a favorite for our family, and the lot was impressively private. The walk to the beach was easy, and we enjoyed being off of the busy main road through the neighborhood. We felt the value was great for the home and we will definitely look to book here again in the future.
