Out of the Blue was Perfect.....Seaside - Not So Much
The house was fantastic. Beautiful. Spacious. Lots of windows. The porch was a great place to have a cocktail in the evening. One block from the square so absolutely a perfect location. The reason I didn't give 5 stars on the review is because Seaside itself was over the top with a 7pm curfew. The house is a 5 star. Seaside - 1 star. The curfew is really difficult when you have six, 16 year old boys. Also, Seaside security was VERY strict about any noise or music coming from your house so the boys couldn't even play ping pong on the front porch without being threatened by security. Probably a great place to stay during the summer.......but definitely not the place to go for Spring Break!

Fantastic Stay!
Thank you for a wonderful stay! The location is amazing. We only had to use our car for grocery shopping, everything was walkable and easy to the beach, shopping and restaurants. The decor and areas to relax means everyone can find a space for reading, TV, chatting etc. the ping pong table saw many tournaments and the kitchen was fully stocked with great Sub Zero appliances. Any small issues we had were quickly resolved. We will be back!

True Vacay
Out of the Blue is in the heart of Seaside, a short block from the square and cross 30a to the beautiful white sand emerald water of the Gulf.
Out of the Blue kitchen was remarkable. Family and dining room 15-20’ cathedral ceiling was splendid to sit, talk, eat, read, and watch tv in.
The first floor are the bedrooms. Notable, was the master bathroom, tub and separate shower room with shower jets and is also a steam room.
Two large from porches, plenty of seating and rockers. Up top is a Crows nest which was a great place to relax.
If you haven’t been to Seaside for the Holidays, I would recommend it. You own Seaside, no crowds. A true unplugged vacay! Nice!
