5 Bedroom Beachfront Home

My sisters and I took our mother for her 80th birthday. She wanted a beach front vacation. The house had a fabulous beach front view of the Gulf of Mexico in a residential setting. The deck was a relaxing place to sit and watch the waves and the people. It is next to the beach access but that was not an issue. The bedroom set up wasn’t ideal for our group but who cares as we were at the beach most of the time. The kitchen was stocked with utensil and cookware and plenty of towels in the bathrooms. Robin was very responsive and helpful. I would recommend this rental for a getaway on a beautiful white sand beach.

The Sea Nest is located off 30A in Seagrove. We loved that it is away from the hustle and bustle of Destin and Panama City Beach. There was ample parking for four vehicles. With five bedrooms, The Sea Nest provides sleeping accommodations for our large family, with nobody having to sleep in a common area. When one opens the door and glances to the right, the view is breathtaking of the gulf through wall of windows and doors. Step out onto the deck and have a seat on comfortable Adirondack chairs and rockers.

The kitchen is well equipped and a drink bar has an ice machine. The beds are comfortable. The air conditioning is very adequate. Our only complaint was that we had to leave and come home.

We are a group of retired teachers with spouses and friends who vacation together twice a year; we have been enjoying our trips together for almost 30 years! After our twice a year visits to SeaNest for the last three years, it has become our favorite vacation home. It is IDEAL for our group. We love that the house is directly on the beach, has five separate bedrooms and four baths, includes adequate utensils and cooking gear, and feels like "home' to us. The owners are easy to work with and are prompt in their responses. For our latest trip during October of 2016, everything went as planned. The updated kitchen is beautiful, the living room furniture is new, and the whole house is comfortable. We love it and will continue to visit as often as possible.

We stayed at this house June 2016. It was my husband, myself , our three young children and my parents. Let me start with the good!

Pros

-Clean!!

-Beautiful views

-Amazing beach access

-Robin was so easy to work with!

-House has an ice machine

-Great kitchen and fully stocked with utensils and pans.

Cons:

-master bath and one upstairs bathroom in need of MAJOR updates

-AC could never keep up

-Fridge never really got cool (even after making a solid effort to stay out of it all day and one whole night in order to give it time to cool the new food)

-Appliances fall out of most outlets- making it hard to dry hair, charge phones etc.

-Almost all the lamp shades are broken

- needs new carpet in upstairs hallway bedrooms and master.

-All the toilets have cracked and peeling paint

On the seats

-Most of the beds are really squeaky

-Not nearly enough comfortable seating in the living room for how many this house says it sleeps.

- Two of the ceiling fans in the bedrooms squeak so much you cannot use them.

-There wasn't any great back deck seating. Could really use a better table and lounge chairs out in the back deck.

**the beach is SUPER crowded here. The house sits right next to a public beach access. This wasn't an issue for us, we used the beach chair set up

Provided plus one more. But if you are looking for something secluded this isn't for you.

Bottom line: this house has such great potential!! Just needs a little TLC. Wouldn't rent again unless things were updated.

We are a group of retired teachers with spouses and friends who vacation together twice a year. This is our second visit to SeaNest; it is IDEAL for our group. We love that the house is directly on the beach, has five separate bedrooms and four baths, includes adequate utensils and cooking gear, and feels like "home' to us. The owners are easy to work with and are prompt in their responses. We will return as often as possible to this perfect vacation house.
