Beach Front, Ocean Front, Gulf Front. Wow!
Ramsgate 2 is a newly renovated, beachfront, two-level townhome right on the Gulf of Mexico in Seagrove Beach, Florida. Less than two miles from Seaside, right on the beach, but half the price. Bike to Seaside (or Rosemary Beach in the other direction) in minutes on the easily accessible bike path.
Truly one-of-a-kind, Ramsgate is a classic beach fourplex with character. Located at the end of a quiet, dead-end street, Ramsgate is just a couple hundred yards from Eastern Lake's tidal inlet (a perfect place for children to play). With its expansive gulf views, large decks, and unequaled beach access, Ramsgate delivers the perfect getaway for any beach bum at heart. The surf will lull you to sleep at night, and the sunrises and sunsets will take your breath away. There are gulf views throughout the unit so you always feel connected to the water and beach life. Keep an eye out for dolphins.
The Entry Level has covered parking for two cars - sand toys, beach chairs and beach umbrellas for the beach. Your kids will love to dig through all the toys and goodies.
The first floor houses a newly renovated open kitchen with a beverage bar, dining area, and living room which opens to an oversized deck overlooking the beach. Deck furniture includes a five foot, circular table holding an 11 foot market umbrella, comfortable sling armchairs, and two pairs of bar-height chairs which are the preferred seats for sitting at the railing and soaking in the ambiance.
The main deck also includes a large charcoal grill so you can cook dinner while you watch the sunset.
From any deck you can keep an eye on your kids playing in the soft white sand, catch the dolphins swimming by and the pelicans flying past .... just walk down Ramsgate's private access steps when you want to join them.
Everywhere on the first floor has direct views of the gulf, including the fully stocked kitchen so you can be preparing a snack or a full meal and never miss a minute of the view.
The dining area seats nine. The living room has a leather sofa with a pull out queen size bed, comfortable armchairs, and a large flat-panel television with media center. And there's a third bathroom on the first floor.
The second floor has a newly renovated master bedroom and bathroom. The bed is an extra comfortable king size, and an eight-foot sliding glass door opens to a private balcony with more vistas of the beach and the gulf. The second bedroom has a queen-size bed and a set of built-in bunk beds. A second full bathroom rounds out the second floor.
Although Ramsgate stands by itself, it shares community pools with Summers Edge, a complex just landward of Ramsgate. Both pools are accessed from Ramsgate by short walking paths. One pool is heated, the other is an infinity pool with partial shade.
When you vacation at the beach, don't you really want to stay ON the beach? Of course you do! Well you can not get closer to the surf than Ramsgate. At Ramsgate 2 you get gulf views from every room, and beachfront convenience your entire stay.

Bonnie's condo was great. Not too big, not too small. Just like goldilocks, it was *just* right for our family of four (except we didn't break anything, I swear). All the reviews were helpful for me, so even though I *never* write reviews, I just had to do one about Bonnie. Bonnie is great. She's kind and honest and fast and responds to questions. We had a problem with the Internet one night and her husband was our helpful technical support and got us working. Wonderful place, nice owners, great location. All the things the other reviews say about the condo are true so I won't repeat them. Thank you Bonnie.Recommended for: Age 55+, romantic getaway, families with teenagers, families with young children, girls getaway.
Owner response: Angie, that's how we felt when we first saw Ramsgate. Thank you for the review. We relocated from Colorado so we really miss the mountains. Say hi to them for us.

Even with rain storms sweeping through, we had a great family get together here. We still managed many long beach walks, fine dining, and quality family time. There was a spectacular lightning show over the gulf one night and we had front row seats. Another night we noticed some bioluminescence in our footsteps near Eastern Lake. Very cool. Also read a lot (thanks for the reading selection, some decent novels there). Something new we tried this time was attending a performance at the Seaside REP theater. I highly recommend it. They were really very good actors with a hilarious script. Also, highly recommend Goatfeathers seafood market. Excellent crab cakes. The unit (Ramsgate) was beautiful, warm, cozy, and comfortable. Better than advertised. Lots of homey touches. Really comfortable beds. I was surprised at how well stocked it was. Better than my house, that's for sure. Thanks for a wonderful time. I only gave it 4 stars because it rained too much. Sorry, I know that's not the owner's fault. Everything else was fantastic.Recommended for: Adventure seekers, age 55+, romantic getaway, families with teenagers, families with young children, girls getaway, sightseeing.
Owner response: John, thank you for the review. My husband says weather at the beach is like pizza ... even when it's bad it's still pretty good. P.S. Aside from reading on rainy days, hubby likes to kayak (if he's going to get wet anyway, why not). Sometimes we shop at the outlet malls. Mostly I sit under the umbrella and enjoy the beauty of it all. Often storms bring out the surfers and they're fun too.

We just returned from our 2nd visit to this lovely townhome and we can't wait to go back again. Bonnie is great to work with and responds quickly to any questions you might have. She has lovingly furnished this beach home with everything you could possibly want or need. When we travel to Florida we want to stay right on the beach and this home does not disappoint. You simply walk through the sliding glass door onto the deck and you can enjoy the beautiful sights and sounds of the beach. A few more steps down the stairs off the deck and you are on the beach - you can't get any closer than that. We love this place!Recommended for: Age 55+, romantic getaway, families with teenagers, families with young children, girls getaway.
Owner response: Thank you for the kind words. Ramsgate is a work in progress. I hope you enjoyed the new master bath/bedroom and the flat panel TVs. We just renovated and you were one of the first to see them.

My husband, 2 daughters & I were lucky enough to get to stay two weeks at Ramsgate this Summer! We felt so welcome from the moment we arrived, as Bonnie had thoughtfully left a pail & shovel filled with snacks for my girls! So many things I loved!! The unit itself is beautiful and has every amenity you could wish for! The master bed & sheets are the absolute BEST!! My girls loved their room with their own TV & the fun ship reading lights in the bunk beds. The cherry on top is the amazing deck!! We've never been this close to the beach before & now we're spoiled! Being able to sit on the deck at night with a glass of wine & actually be able to see & call out to our children was a huge peace of mind for my husband & I! Having a covered parking space along with space for our four bikes that we brought was also so nice! We rode our bikes almost everyday to dinner or ice cream, which is just one of the special memories we made during our stay at Ramsgate! We'll be back!!Recommended for: Families with teenagers, families with young children.
Owner response: Thank you. Reading guest reviews is almost as good as being there for us. You'll have to share where you went for ice creams with us. There's always room for ice cream.

For our family of four (kids ages 8 and 2), this property had everything we needed to make for a great week in Seagrove. We did a fair amount of cooking, and the kitchen is extremely well stocked and beautiful to cook in. It's clear Bonnie has been doing this a while and you'll want for nothing during your stay - she's thought of it all. The pools were great and very high end, most of the time only a few others were using them. They're a short walk from the house and a real nice break from a long day at the beach or the lake outfall, which the kids loved also when the waves were too big. We also did some kayaking on Eastern lake and recommend that too. Beach service included with the rental was the cherry on top. We'll be back.Recommended for: Adventure seekers, age 55+, romantic getaway, families with teenagers, families with young children, girls getaway, sightseeing.
Owner response: I'm so glad you enjoyed the kitchen. That was a new renovation and aside from being nicer for meal prep, we really like how it opened the whole first floor. I'm an architect specializing in renovations (mostly for other people) so it's kind of fun that I get to play with Ramsgate periodically. For repeat visitors I like to surprise them with new changes.

We stayed at Ramsgate in April 2011 and LOVED it! This was our first family trip to Florida's panhandle. The location is amazing and the condo is perfect. The owners have thought of everything to make it a convenient and comfortable stay. Our daughters loved having their own room and so did we. The master has an outstanding view of the ocean/beach and the waves would put you fast to sleep. It was so fun to have a huge porch and great table with umbrella to have lunch, dinner on. We saw dolphins everyday. Each day we would watch the sunset and at night you could sit on the porch and watch people with flashlights go crab hunting. We thought the location was great. We actually liked that it's in Seagrove, vs. Seaside. The beach wasn't crowded at all and it was a quick drive or bike ride to get to Seaside, Watercolor, Alys or Rosemary. We would definitely stay here again!Recommended for: Adventure seekers, age 55+, tourists without a car, romantic getaway, families with teenagers, families with young children, girls getaway.
Owner response: Thank you for your review! I almost forgot about the crab hunting. That is so fun! Another neat thing is, occasionally there are some glow-in-the-dark/bioluminescent algae around there. Usually they're very slight, but one time there was enough around the shore near the Eastern Lake outlet that, when you disturbed the wet sand with your feet, you could see it glow for a second.

We stayed at Ramsgate over Easter Break 2011. It was absolutely wonderful as Bonnie has managed to insure everything you could possibly want or need is available in the condo. The condo was very clean. The kitchen (which had just been updated I believe) was fantastic with plenty of room and had everything a cook could need. The beds were comfortable and my kids loved the bunk beds with "ship" sconces on each level for reading. The deck was lovely and the only condo in Ramsgate with a great umbrella for shade. The pools were very nice and well maintained which is a nice option when the beach is too windy. It didn't hurt that the weather was perfect...but regardless...it was the best rental we have chosen in the Santa Rosa/Destin/Sea Grove area to which we travel each year.Recommended for: Age 55+, romantic getaway, families with young children, girls getaway.
Owner response: Thank you! I'm glad you liked the kitchen. I love how it turned out. You mentioned the pool being nice for windy days -- it's also nice for kids when the surf is too rough. Another place that's great when the surf is up is the Eastern Lake outlet. The outlet changes with the weather and tides so it's always different. Sometimes it's closed. Other times the channel is so deep and sharp it's like a sand canyon. FUN!

If you are a father, or husband, that has to get the beach site "ready" before the family comes down for the day, this is the place for you! Beautiful views wherever you look, great deck, great rooms, great umbrella, great everything! I can't say it enough, you are on the sand and that makes all the diffrence when you have little ones, old ones, or just two middle aged ones that like having a private bathroom and cold ice just a few steps away! No fighting for space on the beach, nice and quiet at night and a short ride to Seaside shopping and dining, it truely has it all. We will be back year after year.Recommended for: Adventure seekers, age 55+, romantic getaway, families with teenagers, families with young children, girls getaway, sightseeing.
Owner response: I know what you mean about setting up and little kids. Or I should say my husband knows! We also have a place off the beach and we enjoy that, but there's no doubt how convenient and stress free life is at Ramsgate. We look forward to meeting your grandchildren one of these days!

We have stayed at Ramsgate twice so far and found it to be the perfect for our family. Step off the deck onto the beach, incredible views, beautiful water, two pools and close to dining and entertainment(if you choose to leave the house). All ammenities are provided, just bring swim suits, towels and smiles. We will be celebrating our 20th anniversary this summer and are planning to return to ramsgate for the week.Recommended for: Romantic getaway, families with teenagers, families with young children, girls getaway.

Owner info
Year Purchased: 2003
About the owner: My husband and I grew up in the midwest and lived for a time in Colorado before moving to Atlanta. Most of our free time was spent in the mountains and we rarely saw the ocean. After moving to Atlanta, we were close enough to two coasts to visit frequently, the Gulf coast and the Atlantic. Our first year in Atlanta we visited Seaside on a company retreat and thought it was incredibly beautiful. After our children were born we started visiting again on family trips and it felt as if we were coming home.
Why the Owner Chose Summer's Edge:
After a few family visits, Ramsgate just happened to be for sale and it stood out from all the other properties on the market. Ramsgate is a special place for us, and we try our best to make it special for every guest too. While we can't be here full time, we visit as often as we can and, in between visits, we love to hear from our guests about their experiences. It's *almost* like being there ourselves.
The Unique Benefits at this Townhome:
Ramsgate is a little slice of paradise. It's unique, it has a character of its own, and we've tried to add some of our own personality to it through the years. For our family its a perfect size in a perfect location.
