Best Kept Secret

Date of Stay: 03/17/12 Review Submitted: 04/26/12

We absolutely loved staying here. The tennis courts were directly behind the house, the pool was one house away, the beach was an easy walk with the beach cart (chairs, toys, etc..) provided. We loved riding the bikes daily. The neighborhood was peaceful, well kept, safe and beautiful. The property manager was very kind and attentive. The neighbors were very helpful and friendly, and even the ice cream truck came through daily. It was a little slice of heaven tucked off of 30-A. This was our first time to the area and found that it was the perfect spot to easily ride the bicycles to Sea Side (loved Sundog books) or drive to Rosemary Beach. Our kids loved their freedom riding bikes and playing basketball or tennis in Cassine daily. We walked up to get carryout several times at Flip Flops. Looks like a Sweet Shop is going in soon too. We would definitely recommend it and definitely stay here again.

True Relaxation at The Yellow House

Date of Stay: 07/17/10 Review Submitted: 08/13/10

Our family has stayed at the Yellow House several times. My 19 year old son would rather stay here that any where else in the Destin area. If you are looking for true relaxation and a calm place you have found it! The pool is one door down and a short trip across the street to the beach. Restaurants from a hamburger joint to a 5 star within a 5 min drive! My wife stayed one week in Ft Walton at a hotel with her sister and kids and could not wait to get to the Yellow House for a true calming vacation! If you are looking for a loud and crazy kind of place you better look somewhere else.This is a true vacation home!

Just the PERFECT home away from home!

We have been coming to this area since 2003. We love the area, we love the beaches.... The Yellow House has been the BEST vacation home we have stayed in! The location is perfect, the house is so accommodating and so tastefully decorated, even the neighbors were great! We had a wonderful week (7/10 to 7/17/2010) our children didn't want to leave! The house made us feel at home! We cooked several meals because the kitchen had everything needed to make a great meal and having the seafood market just a few steps away, we made several great meals and saved a little $$$. Our children (3 small ones) loved walking over to the pool and to the tennis courts, our teenager enjoyed the bike rides and chilling on the front porch! We can't wait to book it for next year! Mr. Huseman was a delight to work with and despite of such a short notice on our part, our vacation was perfect!! we love the Yellow House!!

Best rental in Seaside!

Guest: Suz (Indianapolis)
Date of Stay: 06/26/10 Review Submitted: 07/06/10

I have been coming to Seaside since 2004, and this rental has everything covered. Tennis courts, two pools, and a nature trail outside your front door, and the beach is just a hop skip away. No other rental will have their beautiful unique decor, and the amenities everyone looks for in a home away from home!!

Ideal Getaway

Guest: Keira (Tucson, AZ USA)
Date of Stay: 06/20/10 Review Submitted: 06/27/10

We, and family of 5, had an amazing time at the yellow house in Seagrove Beach. The house was so clean, homey, and yet luxurious. Spending time at the pool, playing tennis, hanging out on the beach, and heading 2 miles up 30A to Seaside for shopping and restaurants were our favorites. We rented bikes and were able to just ride to where ever we needed to go. The community is amazing--so much to do! We have already requested to return next summer. Next year we hope to do some kayaking and YOLOing! I am also scheduled to return with some of my girlfriends--for a 40th birthday ladies' weekend.

Great for a family vacation!

We recently stayed here for the second time and had a great vacation. Two families, each with small children, stayed in the house comfortably. The photos don't do the house justice! The kitchen is well-equipped and the bedrooms are good-sized. The dining room/living room/kitchen has an open floor plan so great for hanging out. The house and yard are clean and well-kept. The pool is only steps away and the beach is a short walk. A grocery store and lots of cute shops are a short drive away. Get some local fresh fish at the market across the street and grill in the backyard, or rent bikes across the street and tour the area. All in all, a very comfortable place to spend a vacation!

We really enjoyed our stay at the "Yellow House"...it is a very clean, comfortable and well-maintained home. The location is great and the neighbors are friendly. The Husemans are very easy to work with and strive to please their guests. We whole-heartedly recommend the "Yellow House" for a wonderful family vacation.

We had a lovely time and really enjoyed your home and the Cassine area. The girls spent one afternoon exploring the nature trails on their bikes and the proximity to all of the "happening" areas was great for them. As we drove away on Saturday morning each of the girls made me promise that we would return next year. So count on us again next Spring Break. I'll contact you with the date sometime in the fall when we get the schedule. Thanks again for all of your help. P.S. Thanks for the call about the rip tide. That was very thoughtful.

Thank you so much for letting us stay in your lovely home. We have enjoyed not only your home but the area of Cassine is just wonderful. The access to the beaches plus having the option of the pool, tennis courts, and trails are a great option for us to enjoy throughout our vacation. We throughly have enjoyed staying in your home and look forward to coming back next year. Sincerely, S. Smith (South Bend)

My family has stayed at least a week per year for the past 5 years. I have two sons one 21 and 17 they would rather stay at the Yellow House than any other place in this area. This area is very clean and safe for the entire family. Having the pool so close it is nice to be able to have the option of the pool or the ocean. We plan on returning again this year.
