AREA ATTRACTIONS:
Seaside is a fantastic destination, most widely known for being featured in the Truman Show with Jim Carrey. Its incredible architecture has helped to make it famous but also its faithful replication of the kind of seaside town that used to be common up and down the coast. Seaside has its own Farmer's Market, post office, Repertory Theater, and neighborhood school. It boasts unique shopping, fantastic cuisine, and incredible architecture that makes Seaside famous. There are activities for everyone; kayak rentals, bike rentals, paragliding, fishing, golfing, hiking, swimming, tennis -- you'll find it all right here.
Bike over to Blue Mountain Beach Creamery for some homemade scoops that will have your taste buds coming back! You'll have an array of dining options to choose from!
The snorkelers in your group will love the new artificial reef called Sea Turtle Reef, deployed in 2017. Located just 783 feet out from the Grayton Beach State Park access, it is becoming a haven for sea life. Each of the 4 snorkeling reefs comprises 40 acres of permitted sea bottom. The Sea Turtle Reef is at a depth of 12-19 feet. We strongly recommend that snorkelers use a kayak, paddleboard, or other flotation device when visiting the snorkel reefs. Sea conditions can and do change quickly and often. Enjoy!
The vacation home is air-conditioned and features a kitchen, 3.5 bathrooms, and a balcony, and there's space to spread out with 4 bedrooms. Guests can enjoy a Smart TV and stay connected with free WiFi. Other standard amenities include a washing machine, a sofa bed, and a coffee maker.

Close to beach, some issues
Overall good location. Management company was good. Issues with house and probably due to the fact it’s for sale. Cleanliness wasn’t the best at all, toilet upstairs was clogged on arrival, had to plunge. Kitchen sink leaked, I fixed myself under the sink. Owner changed wifi prior to stay so took 4 days to get internet which was terrible for work as cell signal isn’t great. Some dirty sheets/pillowcases so changed those out. Also, stayed for 9 nights, make sure to bring own toilet paper, soap, dish detergent etc, cause we only had 6 people and ran out in 4 days. With 12, much faster so kinda shoddy starter kit.

We absolutely loved our stay! This house was clean and well equipped with everything we needed. Loved having the bikes and golf cart! It was in the perfect location for relaxation but close enough to beaches, restaurants and shops! The pool was amazing. We will definitely be coming back.

Great house
There was 11 of us total, 6 adults and 5 children. There was plenty of space for everyone., all the kids bunked together.
House was very clean, bathrooms were spotless.
Kitchen is very spacious and we cooked many meals. Kids enjoyed the back patio.
The golf cart was an absolute must for going to the beach. This was so great to have, and we loved it
Overall, property was fantastic!

Good family place
Good pre-communication and easy check-in with the codes. The house was clean and nice. Very little in the way of supplies but there was a little dish soap, 2 laundry pods, a paper towel roll and toilet paper in each bathroom. Enough to get us by until we went to the store. The kitchen items were sparse and not the best quality. There was only one small cookie sheet and it was very used and dirty. There were no pool bracelets upon arrival and we didn’t notice until after 5 pm when the office was closed. We just went ahead to the pool and a security guy let us in when we showed him our pool gate code and confirmation email. Management brought the bracelets the next day around 11am after getting my voicemail from the night before. Not a big issue since no one ever asked to see the bracelets. Golf cart and bikes were fun and useful. Plenty of room for parking between the driveway and garage. Nice place for our family of 10.
