When you're at our cottage, actually located in the town of Seaside, you'll want to kick back and relax and just move at a Snail's Pace!
This 2 bedroom/ 2 bath cottage is just a hop, skip, and a jump to the beautiful, sandy beaches of Seaside and home to a tower tall enough to enjoy the most colorful Gulf Coast sunsets around! Our cottage is located only two blocks from the town square where you can enjoy dining, shopping and entertainment, and less than 2 blocks to tennis, pool & fitness center.
Enter Snail's Pace through the screened in porch complete with new love seat, chairs & tables that brings the inside out into the wonderful Seaside weather - a great place for your morning coffee or just great conversation. Enjoy a cozy family room with new 42" flat screen HDTV, and DVR. A spacious, well equiped kitchen and dining area await you on the main floor. A bathroom with larger shower & outside access, plus a closet stacked washer and dryer complete the main level. Upstairs you'll find the two bedrooms and a newly remodeled second bathroom/shower combo. The master bedroom has a king size bed, ample closet space, and flat screen TV. The guest room with its queen size bed with brand new mattress & box springs and flat screen TV has french doors to your own private balcony. The balcony has a table & chairs and glider - a great place to "catch some sun" read a book and just enjoy life.
Also provided is a portable crib, child gate, high chair, bed rail and numerous games and puzzles that are sure to keep the kids busy after a long day at the beach! (No need to haul all of your own baby equipment with you!)
Up one more level you'll find the best seats in the house! Complete with sitting area and flat screen TV, the tower will quickly become your favorite room in the house! The view of the town and of the gulf are awesome. Kids love to play up here and adults love to come up and have cocktails and enjoy the sunset. There is a small balcony off of the tower.
There are chairs, umbrellas, toys, and floats provided for your beach enjoyment.
WE ALLOW ONE SMALL, NON-SHEDDING DOG PER RENTAL ($150.00 SURCHARGE)!
The Seaside Amenity Pass is included with "In Season" rentals. (March 10-September 3) The pass is available other times subject to additional charge.
These are some of the comments that were left in our guest:
"This is our 3rd stay at Snail's Pace."
"Lets just say that everything on a scale of 10 has been a 10+. Luv it, Luv it!!!"
"Snails Pace is beautiful, well equipped, up to date & looks fresh. You have spoiled us for any other cottage...maybe any other vacation."
"You've got a great place! Has EVERYTHING. The best stocked condo/cottage we've stayed at."
"We have been coming to Seaside for 11 years now and your home is one of the best we've stayed in"
"We love this place. We almost want to move in."
"This a great location just close enough to the beach & town. The outside shower came in handy when we needed to unload the sand out of our swimsuits."
Tom & I are really happy to be sharing our cottage with you and want you to know how much we enjoy spending time here. Our favorite things to do are walk the beach, enjoy the tower and dine in Seaside. Come and find out how much you will enjoy staying in our piece of paradise!

Could not have asked for more. House was so well equipped...easy walk to the beautiful beach and the town. Big plus for us was the DVR so that we could still easily record TV and watch our shows when staying in! Very well located.. We will be back!

My husband and I have been vacationing in Seaside for 17 years now. We have stayed at many different places and rented through many agencies. This vacation was by far our best experience. The rental agency was freindly and helpful. They even came by to check and see if we needed anything. Snails Pace was neat and clean and had every thing we could need. The front porch and third floor t.v room were our favorite places to hang out. We had a wonderful stay at Snails Pace and will definitely stay again. Best vacation yet!

I would really rate this "Very, Very Good". Everything was as promised; the cottage was in excellent repair and very clean. A few tiny problems - a quirky coffee pot with a broken part and not enough toilet paper. We had a wonderful, restful vacation and will return, if possible. We would also recommend to friends. Thanks to everyone involved in providing this lovely spot for our use.

My husband and I were so sad to leave the peaceful, beautiful ambiance of Snail's Pace. Upon arrival, we found everything to be neat, clean, and easy to use. Although the cottage is pet friendly, and we took our beautiful and well-behaved dog which we had just bathed, we were delighted to find that the cottage was just as we'd hoped--no residue or odor, either masking pet odor or left from another tenant's pet. Snail's Pace is removed just enough from the main street to be quiet, yet so close to the beach pavillion that we walked up and enjoyed our morning coffee at the beach. We only used our car once: to drive to Santa Rosa Beach to have lunch at another one of our favorites, the Smiling Fish Cafe, right on 30A. Other favorite restaurants during both this stay and other visits are the Bud and Alley's; the crab cakes are some of the best we've ever had, and we've tasted many; the lobster roll at the outdoor cafe is delectable, chock-full of lobster and not diluted with onions, celery, or mayonnaise. Perfect recommendations for the seafood lover! Not only are we highly recommending this cottage, but we're planning to return. A bit too large for just us two --although we used the extra bedroom as a dresssing room--but perfect for four or five, adults or children. Our only concern was that we couldn't ever find the washing machine, which we didn't need on this trip but would like to have for a lengthier stay.

My family booked this place at the last minute for a quick get away and loved it!!! The place is clean, very convenient to the beach, and provides a great feel for the life in Seaside. You feel more like a local than a tourist after being there for a few days. Wait till you see the view from the third floor!! We will definitley be returning next year!!

We had a wonderful time here. Location was great...an easy walk to the beach, yet far enough from the main street. Quiet environment! I did not hear any unwanted sounds (other people's music, etc) Will come back. The top room is awesome...breezy with a great view. Property manager was very responsive as well.

My perfect Vacation at Snail's Pace

We drove for 6 hours in the rain. When we reached Seaside, we turned in Savannah St. There, a mere 4 houses down on the left was the Sweetest Little Cottage. More beautiful than the pictures ever showed. The house, the color of the Gulf, and the porch and upstairs deck, the color of Sunset as it fades into a wonderful lavender haze. I brought a 14 and a 15 year old, and chose this location for it's proximity to all that Seaside has to offer, and to the beach. If you have young teenagers, this is the place to rent them bikes, relax, and give them a reasonable curfew. You know they are close, you know they are making friends, and exploring in an incredibly safe environment. Snail's Pace was the perfect location. Merely across the street from the Savannah St. beach access, and the quick walk to Modica's Market for a treat. I have been coming to these beaches for well over 20 years, always staying in other properties strung along the Emerald Coast. We would visit Seaside for meal or shopping. There is absolutely no replacement for actually being in a fabulous place like Snail's Pace! The living room was very spacious with wonderful furniture in soothing colors. The newly done bath and shower was a delight for us all. It was clean, well loved and an absolute pleasure to spend a week. I can't say enough about the response from the manager's to any question or comment. Trust me, after 20+ years, I feel I will never stay in another cottage or rental. Snail's Pace made my vacation the experience I needed. Quiet, lovely, comfortable, well decorated, fabulous mattresses to rest on, and the wonderful screened porch. A delight! We thank you and will be back! Diana and Dasha Alexander, Evie Elsbree of Atlanta, Ga.

This was my family's 11th year in Seaside and we have rented several different homes. This was our first year in Snail's Pace and we loved it! Our favorite room was the third floor living area with the great views and sunshine. Snail's Pace was clean, well maintained and in good condition. We would definitely stay here again. It was also our first year to rent through Sandpiper Vacation Rentals. They were professional and quick to respond whenever we had questions. We had a good experience with them and would recommend their company.

We annually trek to Seaside and this year we stayed Saturday to Saturday. Snails Pace is perfect! Our 8 year old daughter was close enough to the beach, pool, house to do the rotation several times a day without wearing out parents! The tower room was my husbands favorite place in the house! We will definitely be back! We were able to bring our family cockapoo and she was delighted as all of us! Clean, comfortable beds, great layout to accommodate early risers and late night tv watchers! Cannot say enough about how happy we were!

Perfect location. Within walking distance to everything in Seaside and a perfect biking distance to Watercolor and beachfront state park. This is a comfortable beach cottage, with some updates. Only complaint is some essentials were in low supply. Be sure to check toilet paper/paper towels, detergent, dishwasher soap, before you make a grocery run....or you will need to do a special trip like we did! Overall, a good vacation spot.
