We are 19 people, 8 adults and 11 children, and we found a lot to be thankful for at Thyme after Thyme. We thought it impossible to find a house that's right for so many people, but this house was perfect. Seaside is the most quaint town we have ever visited, and we feel we have finally found a town we can visit annually - a place to reunite families and relax during the hectic year. See you in 2012! Thank you for your home! The Fox, Rogovin, and Belzer families - Columbus, OH

A group of 12 of us stayed here for the Seaside Wine Festival. Our 10th year to attend but our first stay in Thyme after Thyme. We had a great time. The proximity to the beach and all the restaurants could not be beaten. We all had a wonderful time and will most certainly be back. The Corbins - Birmingham, AL

What a wonderful place for our annual family beach vacation. After 10 years of going to separate condos in Destin and a year in Hilton Head, we decided to all stay together here at Thyme after Thyme in Seaside. The cousins loved spending time together at the beach and in the pool. The parents enjoyed coffee in the morning overlooking the gulf from the wonderful 3rd floor balcony. We all loved walking into town and enjoying Seaside. We ventured one evening back to Destin & hit all that traffic - that was our final trip ever to Destin! We'd much rather walk into town! Thank you for a memorable vacation! The DiLeo's - Scottsdale, AZ & McKinney, TX; The Pelligrino's - Atlanta, GA; The Coxes - Little Rock, AR

This is the most wonderful place we have ever rented in Seaside! Three generations totalling ten folks; the Farrell families and the May families have enjoyed their week! The kitchen equipment, the lovely entertainment areas, the laundry facilities, the pool area, the grilling area, etc. are superb. We supported local shops, restaurants, and Quincy's art supply shop. The weather was wonderful this week! Beth, Kevin, Rudy, Shawn, Maureen, Karelyn, Dave and children - The Farrell and May Families

What an incredible house.....and even better view! Thank you for allowing us to use your beautiful home - it was the perfect place to rest, relax, and reflect. I've been coming to 30A for 15 years, and I've never enjoyed a home more - nor had the pleasure of working with such fantastic owners. The Scarbrough group - Atlanta GA

Great Family Reunion House

Date of Stay: 07/02/11
Review Submitted: 07/12/11
This was the perfect house for our family reunion. There were 17 of us, 7 grandchildren (20 somethings) spouses, three great grandchildren, ages 2,3 and 4. The 2 kitchens came in handy when the babies woke-up earlier than everyone else, they could have breakfast without waking the entire household. Everyone took advantage of the bikes, both for all the bike trails and to get to Seaside and Water Color. We loved all the terraces. Everyone got to have a bed. We used the pool every day and also went to the beach. The babies loved the small pool too. The house was very clean and had all the advertised amenities. We had to call for maintenance and someone arrived in a few hours,even on a holiday weekend. Everyone said they would like to come back. I would definitly recommend this house to others.
Recommended for:Tourists without a car, sightseeing, girls getaway, age 55+, families with young children, families with teenagers.

We had such a good time in Seaside staying in your home. It was our first "family-wide" vacation. We loved being together here. Your home is beautiful as well as SO practical. We have 5 kids and appreciated the pool and the proximity to the beach. We are leaving here refreshed and really loving our family. Thank you from all of us.

Saw dolphins a couple of mornings about 100 feet off the beach. What a sight while having coffee! Enjoyed the comfortable house & used the bikes each morning.....now that is the way to see the towns! The weather and beach were perfect the whole week we were here. We had family here from 4 states, Michigan, Arkansas, Tennessee, & Mississippi. This was the perfect place & vacation.
