We had an incredible week in Seacrest Beach! The location of the home is so convenient being right along 30a, but the trees and foliage next to the home give it lots of privacy. We enjoyed the rooftop deck most evenings and felt the home was very clean and comfortable.

Everything was perfect! Our location was close to the pool, tram, shopping, and the beach. The multiple balconies were awesome. The third floor was our favorite with balconies on each side with a nice view of the gulf. We thought Seacrest was less busy than Seaside and preferred this location. Karen, our property manager, was especially helpful and accommodating to our needs. We definitely will return!

The house was beautiful and clean. Great location, we loved that we could walk to so many restaurants and shops! Highly recommend the house and host! Only negative is the beach access, it is the smallest section of a beach I’ve ever seen and it’s for a very large neighborhood. I know we were there in the craziness of Summer but still. You had to rent a chair to even get close to the water and even then we were 4 rows back.

The home itself was newer, very clean, and thoughtfully designed. We especially enjoyed the third-floor area, which offered ocean views and a great place to relax in the evenings.

Incredible Property and Host

This home is spotless and beautifully decorated, with thoughtful details throughout. The location couldn’t be better—easy bike rides or short walks get you just about anywhere you want to go. The beach and pool are only a few minutes away, and the third-floor balconies offer a lovely ocean view—perfect for morning coffee or evening cocktails. Karen is an incredibly generous and responsive host. As first-time visitors to 30A, we really appreciated all the helpful tips she shared. She checked in with us mid-week and was quick to answer any questions. Highly recommend!

About the host

Hosted by Karen Maziarz

Host profile image
Our family has been visiting the Florida Panhandle to vacation for the last 25 years. We've stayed in Destin, Navarre, Perdido Key, Seagrove, Dune Allen, Old Florida and for the last 10 years in the Rosemary and Seacrest Beach communities. Our kids have grown up on the beaches of 30A and these beaches remain our favorite spot to relax, visit with family and friends and remember why we work so hard the rest of the year.

As we watch our children and now grandchildren we wanted to stay connected to all the fond memories and decided to purchase a property we could enjoy with our clan and share with families like yours. We looked at many homes, but the location of our home made the decision easy for us.

We welcome you and your family and friends to enjoy all that the beaches of 30A have to offer and there is no better feeling than a late night stroll on the beach, a bike ride up and down 30A or sneaking out for donuts and coffee in the morning to help you remember what life and living is all about.

Why they chose this property

We fell in love with this property the first time we looked at photos in the listing and it was the first home we asked about when we got serious about buying. We looked at a number of other properties up and down 30A, but this house feels like home to us. It feels connected to all that makes the Alys, Seacrest Beach, Rosemary Beach and Inlet Beach communities special. You are minutes from world class beaches, postcard views, great restaurants, fantastic State Parks and at the same time a world away from commutes, overloaded schedules and the daily grind.

P.S. We live in Tampa, FL home to some of the world's finest beaches including Siesta Key, Clearwater Beach, Pass-A-Grille, and Fort Desoto and Seacrest Beach is where we decided to buy a beach house. We've traveled as a family to the Yucatan, Big Sur, Greece, Spain, Costa Rica and Belize and have never found a place that feels more like home than the beaches of 30A. Even if you don't end up staying with us, give the area a try and I promise you won't be disappointed.

What makes this property unique

After a day at the beach, at the pool, on the golf course, a long walk or bike ride, Southern Waves provides an oasis where you can kick back, read a book, play some board games, eat too much and sleep as late as you want (or can). Our guests always tell us they love being one lot away from 30A, but the location feels secluded as it is away from the main streets. Take coffee on the third floor and plan your day and head back up with a bottle of wine in the evening to watch the sunset and relax to the sounds of the wind and awaits.
