Amazing house

The house was fantastic… spacious and clean with lots of room on the porches for hanging out. The online pictures really don’t do it justice… it’s such a great house. We walked to the beach daily and it’s a short walk to restaurants. Highly recommend!!

Cozy, Clean and Close to Everything!

We had an amazing stay at Making Memories! The house was perfect for our group—two families of four—and had plenty of space for everyone to relax and enjoy. It was super clean, cozy, and well-stocked with everything we needed. The screened-in porch was a favorite spot for morning coffee and evening chats—absolutely amazing! Location was ideal, just a short walk to the beach and close to great restaurants and shops. The included bikes were a treat and we rode them everywhere! The neighborhood was quiet and felt very safe and we loved the pools after a long day at the beach. Great communication with the host. We’d definitely come back!

Great quiet neighborhood, lots of room

Our family of six loved this house during our fall break stay! Best highlights - large screened in front porch with swing (great for reading), 3rd floor loft with 2 sets of bunk beds that our 4 boys thoroughly enjoyed, lots of beach chairs and toys. The house is right in the middle of a quiet neighborhood and near both pools. We've stayed in this neighborhood several times where our kids can ride bikes easily as well as get to the beach in 5 minutes. It's also very close to a couple of restaurants. Lastly, Betty was wonderful and easy to work with ahead of our stay as well as during our stay. We will definitely come back another time!

Love it

Making Memories is an excellent place to stay. We love the house and the neighborhood. The homeowner is kind and excellent to deal with. I love the paintings, the colors, the decor. The room downstair is perfect for someone who does not want to use the staircase. The house is very comfortable and perfect for kids. The tower room has a new air condition unit and a door to keep it cooler. The temperature was perfect. The second floor porch was my favorite place to be. We recommend it.

Summer Beach Trip

We enjoyed our stay at Making Memories very much! This is a comfortable home with lots of porch space. Our party had 6 people the youngest being 16. The beds were comfortable and the A/C works great for the Florida summer humidity. The house could use some TLC but over all for the price and location, we had no complaints. We have stayed in Grove by the Sea neighborhood several times before and we love the peaceful setting, uncrowded beach access and the short bike ride into Seaside. Nancy was very easy to communicate with also. I enjoyed morning coffee on the porch most about this house.

It Has It All

Betty & Larry, I had bittersweet feelings today as I vacuumed the sand from the car. We had such a WONDERFUL, blessed time at your beautiful home in Seagrove that we did not want to leave. The kids were ecstatic when they saw the tower room and their private refrigerator! We ate in a few evenings and the home lacked for nothing. The beds were very comfortable, the lighting and decor perfect. The neighborhood was quiet and lovely to take morning and evening walks in. We found it an easy 1 mile bikeride on the path to Seaside. It was so much fun biking thorough the neighborhoods there, shopping and of course stopping for ice cream. I forgot to mention the amazing beach which was perfectly breathtaking. Thanks again for sharing your home and giving us so many precious family memories.

Memories were Made!

My family and I had a wonderful stay at Making Memories. We loved the Florida cottage style and felt relaxed and comfortable in the home! We ate in most of the time and loved the big dining table. We spent lots of time on the extremely large wrap around porches. And of course riding our bikes to the beach daily was our favorite pastime. Nice quiet neighborhood! Pedestrian friendly streets kid friendly too!

Beautiful home for making memories

Thank you for sharing this home with us! Beautiful home, decorated with bright fun colors. 2 minute drive to seaside. Plenty of room to sleep our 7 adults. 3rd floor bunk room was a great escape! Has its own air conditioning and sink. House was super clean and up to date. Lots of games to play. Kitchen well stocked with essentials, even muffin tins! We spent evenings on the enclosed and screened wrap around first floor porch. Second floor wrap Around as well, and both porches have couches, tables, rockers and swings!! The 2 pools are beautiful and never crowded. There is about a 10 minute walk to the beach, going up a hill. Beach access directly accords 30a. Once at the beach side there are dozens of steep stairs to navigate. All of the access points in this area are like this. Just plan accordingly, as bringing wagons, small children or older adults up and down these stairs can be a challenge. We would love to stay here again. This house is all about making memories!!

Making Memories was Fantastic

The house was beautiful and much nicer than the pictures made it look in the listing. We had 10 in our party and it was comfortable. The location was great and we simply walked or biked to the beach. The beach was clean and the water was blue. Great place to stay. I hope to come back one day.

Relocation

We were informed our original booking was not available. This happened one week before our vacation was to begin. We were told that new furniture was being delivered to our original reservation. The Kismet realtor told us we would be moved to an upgrade at no additional charge. Moving from a 4 bedroom 3 bath to a 3 bedroom 2 bath for 10 people was not an upgrade. We did have a good vacation despite the somewhat cramped accommodations. All in all, it was a good vacation.

We made memories!

Making Memories allowed us to do just that, we made memories. Beautiful home in a peaceful neighborhood located right across the street from a beach entrance. The decor is magical and welcoming. The house has a coffee maker, yay! But remember to pack your own filters or else it will be a late night run to Publix so you’re not without coffee in the morning. Also, remember to pack extra dishwasher pods or soap as well as laundry soap. There are plenty of towels and washcloths which was wonderful. Two beautiful and clean pools in the neighborhood. The walk to the beach is about 8-10 minutes. And I feel it’s important to note, there are a lot of stairs leading down to the beach. This was not a problem for our family but wanted to share. We also rented a golf cart for the week thinking that we would be able to park it at the beach access. That was not allowed. These are not negatives in regards to the house at all but feel that they are worth sharing. 30a was beautiful!
