Wonderful Holiday Party Location with Heated Pool!

Why the Owner Chose Old Seagrove Beach
It's right in the middle of Seagrove Beach, the real Seagrove Beach within a half a mile or so of 395, which sits up about 30-40 feet above the gulf, and nearly that much above the surrounding areas, where you can look out at the second sandbar and enjoy being enclosed and protected by the bigger and more fully grown trees which, small as they may appear to visitors from afar, are often more than fifty or sixty years old and protect our houses from the wind of some of the fiercest hurricanes, the visual pollution of some structures built with more concrete than taste, and also shelter us from the sound of passing vehicles unless we are foolish enough to cut them down.
The Unique Benefits at this House
My favorite spot at Almarito is the year round heated pool with the screen to keep the bugs out at cocktail hour, before I go up to the deck to watch the golden orange sunset, or after I come up from the beach on those sturdy grey splinterless composition steps (which never heat up to burn your feet in the sun) at the end of the path right across the street from the end of Camellia Street, right next door.
Sure, I sometimes take a cup of tea or something stronger in a glass when I sit in the screened and roofed over raised ground level recreation deck watching the teen-agers play ping pong and their little brothers and sisters shoot hoops into the lowered basketball net put there to keep them happy when it rains.
Not many places at Seagrove give the kids in both age groups a covered over wood floored play area to get their exercise safely and still stay dry on a rainy day.
Five bedroom three bath gulf view home with old Seagrove's largest heated screened private rental home pool plus downstairs wood floored covered outdoor recreation area featuring ping pong table, low
Just adjacent to Old Seagrove Beach is the resort town of Seaside, with its own branch post office and, behind it, this large grassy amphitheater, site of Satur- day afternoon concerts, antique auto
Owner's Map of Old Seagrove Beach
My Aunts, uncles and cousins began enjoying these white sand beaches shortly after World War II and began buying in the 1950s when the pavement on 30-A stopped before you got to my aunt's house at the end of that road, where it died in a field of scraggly bushes where Seaside was built later, back before bridges spanned the lakes to the east and west.
My Mom bought her house, just south of and adjacent to the pool, in 1960, and now about 30 family members occupy about 20 permanent homes here, with that many more cousins and spouses, children and family friends, coming in for holidays and special occasions like weddings and funerals and baptisms.
I am a retired news correspondent and editor who has worked in D.C. and abroad, grew up in Virginia and New Orleans, but chose this area for cool season retirement living because, as the locals say, it is paradise.
Hope you all love it as much as I and my family and friends do.
