This house accommodated 8 of us extremely well.
We had plenty of space inside and appreciated having our own bathrooms.
The kitchen was well-stocked with pots, pans, plates, bowls, cooking utensils (could have used a few more forks)-everything we needed to grab a quick breakfast before hitting the beach. Also, we really made use of the ice maker!
We grilled out one night and the grill has some hot spots. That said, our surf and turf still turned out deliciously.
The steps down to the beach didn't bother our group, but it is worth noting that there are something like 55 fairly steep steps.
We thoroughly enjoyed the heated pool in the evenings.
The upper deck is a beautiful spot to relax-taking in spectacular views while enjoying the comfortable outdoor furniture.
Our only big question is, with the house sleeping 12, why the patio off of the kitchen only has seating for 4 to dine. We would have loved to eat breakfast, lunch or dinner out there because it has lovely ocean views and ample space to hold a much larger table.
Overall, we would give this stay 5 stars, would recommend to anyone who asks and would love to come back some day!
Thank you for being so easy to work with and for sharing your home with us.

Perfect access to the beach. House was just right for our group. The house was well supplied with appliances and utensils. It was great to have a beach setup each day as part of the rental as well as plenty of bikes for the group. We had a great family stay. We’ll be back.

We had a wonderful time at your property. It was very well located and we appreciated the use of the bicycles left for us. It was very easy to get to the beach. The accommodations were very nice.

Our family very much enjoyed our stay! The house is in a great location. We had a couple issues with the HVAC not working and outside faucet being broken (unable to rise our feet) but the property management group handled the issue quickly.

This is such a wonderful property!! We had an issue pop up and they handled it right away. It’s the perfect location and it feels like you have your own private beach. We’ve already booked our stay for next year.

Great spaces right on the beach with gorgeous views
The entire process was very easy, plus the home was lovely with well equipped kitchen and good beach paraphernalia. The view right at the beach was gorgeous, with fabulous sunsets. We had 5 adults and 3 kids with extra room to spare. Hope to go again

Wonderful Stay
The house is a exactly as listed. We love the location of this house because the beach is much less crowded than the main towns! Easy bike ride to Seacrest and Rosemary. The front lawn provides a lovely morning and afternoon place to enjoy the breeze and watch people. Kids can be on the beach playing in the sand while you rest in the lawn. Beds are comfortable and the guest house is perfect for grandparents to have a quite place to go to! I would say a king size bed in guest house would be nice.
Old post mention the stairs to beach being broken. They are fixed! The construction next door is basically done.
With all that I will say the house needs some love. A deep cleaning and painting should be done soon. The kitchen pans and knives need to be updated as the knives hardly cut. We had an issue with some roaches all week too. For the many years I have been coming to the area this is the first time I have seen them inside and so bad. The pool needs a little love too and the lawn chairs need to be replaced.
For the price of the home I would expect a little more attention to details and upkeep. With that said I do know our stay is at the end of peak season and upkeep during this time is very hard.
I would definitely stay here again!

Great property. Great experience. Best feature was beach access. May is the perfect time. Only criticism was the lack of cell service inside the house. Had to be outside to use cellphone. WiFi worked well for internet.

Wonderful Week
I have been coming to Walton County for 30 years. This week was the best weather I have experienced. Great house. Lots and lots of people on the beach, if you like that..
The downstairs ac needs to be checked out.

Beautiful Beach Property
Our stay was absolutely amazing. It was beachfront luxury. We enjoyed the bikes and chairs and umbrella that were set out on the beach. We had all that we needed for our large family and had a wonderful time. Only issue was that the air conditioner went out for 2 nights, but the management company was prompt at communicating with us and fixing the issue.

Great experience
I went with my family (wife and two young children) during Mardi Gras break. While the weather was cold and wet, we still had a terrific time. Let me start with the positives:
- I would agree with what everyone said about Amanda from 30A. She was always very responsive, regardless of the time of day, and she immediately addressed/fixed any issue that arose. For instance, when we first arrived the door code did not work, however, she corrected this error in a manner of minutes, and we were in the door. Amanda was terrific.
- I would also emphasize what others have noted, the view was beautiful. It's overlooks the ocean, and just a few steps away from the beach. In addition, it's only a short bike ride to Alys/Rosemary beach. Truly, this was the best part of the property
On to some concerns/items of note:
- When I read the reviews about the construction next door and the stairs to the beach, I was concerned. However, when we were there (mid-February 2021), the stairs to the beach had been fixed, and all of the construction next door was indoors. We did not have any noise issues at all.
- The other main concern was that the house has started to show it's age a little bit. It's a beautiful house, but you can tell that it is just getting substantial use as a rental home, and minor things need to be fixed, and updated.
All in, it was a terrific experience, and we would certainly stay at the location again.

My family of 8 adults stayed at the property the week after Christmas. The house was clean and there was plenty of room for everyone to spread out and have their own space when needed. One couple stayed in the carriage house which was perfect for when they needed some time away from the family. The house was well decorated, comfortable, and homey. The views from the two upstairs bedrooms and the upstairs balcony were breathtaking. The kitchen was well equipped with just about every appliance you could think of. We also enjoyed the large dining table which was perfect for family meals. The elevator was a bonus and made taking luggage upstairs a breeze. We also enjoyed time sitting on the outside patio and watching the magnificent sunsets. The property manager, Amanda, was very receptive and got back to us quickly with answers to any of our questions. The only negative, that was a disappointment, was that we did not have private beach access due to the stairs to the beach being damaged. At the time we were there, the stairs were completely unusable, so we had to walk to the street to access the public beach stairs. We feel that we should have been told before the day we arrived that we would not be able to use the stairs. It would be our recommendation to check with the property manager before your stay to see if the stairs have been repaired. We feel we would have spent more time on the beach had we been able to access it directly from the property. As mentioned in other reviews, there is construction taking place on a home next door. Most of the construction has moved inside the house, but we did experience some noise from the site, however, it did not bother us. All in all, we had a wonderful time and would go back to this property. We loved the area which included great bike paths, shops, and restaurants even though we did not venture out much. We were very content to stay in and enjoy the loveliness of "Always on my Mind."

Wonderful week at the beach
Our family had a wonderful time at this beautiful home. The home exceeded our expectations. It was well stocked with lots of cooking utensils etc. Our property contact, Amanda was very responsive and helpful. The floor of the upstairs balcony, which is beautiful and fully furnished, was very dirty, and the house cleaner came to clean it for us, which was very nice of her. Apparently they don't include this in their normal cleaning routine, and it should definitely be cleaned since dust and dirt collect there. The view from the house was perfect and the weather was good, so we were outside a lot. The stairs to the beach were damaged by the hurricane last fall, but we managed to get up and down them during our stay. We loved our time at Seacrest beach and hope to return sometime in 2021.

Needs some care
The rugs in the living room and the sitting area downstairs need to be changed . The stairs going to the beach could use more at the bottom, it’s to far to step onto the beach .At the top of them it’s hard for entering because it’s not even. Plumbing needs to be fixed ,we were not able to use one of the showers.

Miserable Week
The property itself was fine for the most part BUT we were living for a week next to an active construction site, maybe 8 feet away? They arrived at 7 and worked til 5, including Saturday and Sunday!!! Our time spent in the house was filled with heavy machinery, nail guns, hammers, saws, and loud voices. Thank goodness we didn't have a baby or small child who needed to nap!. The workmen had their trucks and cars parked on either side of the driveway making turning out either way onto BUSY 30A dangerous and stressful to say the least. The contract mentioned possible construction issues, BUT the property management company was well aware of the construction next door and never mentioned how it would so negatively impact all aspects of our family vacation. Greed involved here. NEVER will I rent from them again.

Great beach house
We had a wonderful stay and plenty of room for our family get together. The elevator made bringing suitcases upstairs easy. We had a problem with the upstairs a/c on Sunday night. A tech came out and fixed it . Wonderful response from the manager. When we first arrived, we saw that the trash can was knocked over and the garbage was everywhere. Ali, our contact, sent someone over to clean up. Unfortunately, there is only one trash can and it does not have a lid. The house needs one more trash can with a lid. With all the people we had, one can was not enough. A few more dish towels would be helpful too. We loved the carriage house and pool. The ice machine was a bonus as was the 2 coffee makers, regular and Keurig. We needed a big pot and couldn't find one. It wasn't until much later that we saw one in the laundry room in a niche in the wall behind us. We all had a good laugh.
There was some construction next door, but we lucked out because they just poured concrete. Once framing starts, it may be noisy.
We had a great stay and I would certainly rent the house again

Family Vacation at Always on My Mind
My family thoroughly enjoyed our stay at this property. There was plenty of room for all adults and children. The house is beautiful and we had everything we needed. The pool was a wonderful bonus and we spent a lot of time there after the beach. The location is ideal and we loved being steps from the beach.
Be aware that there is construction of a new house going on next door and, while there is nothing you can do about it, sometimes the noise made for a less-than-relaxing time at the pool.
Having the guest quarters above the garage was a nice bonus. It's clean and comfortable. I suggest providing some drinking glasses so you're not always taking them from the main house.
Thanks for a great stay!

Summer trip with frienda
We stayed here with another couple and their kids. Everyone had a blast and the house feels very homey. The ONLY thing that will be a problem is construction will soon begin directly next door. We had absolutely NO problems and will recommend the house to other people.
