Beautiful Stay

We have stayed a few places in Seagrove, including another condo in this same building. This is by far the most beautiful place we've stayed in. It was impeccable, spotless, and the view could not be any better. We can barely wait to come back!

Great Beachfront Stay

This was our third stay in Serenity at Seamist during May. We love the location and the view can't be beat. The beach is never crowded. You can usually see dolphins and manta rays from the deck. The condo has everything you need for a relaxing stay at the beach.

Our stay in Seamist #9 was wonderful!

Our stay at seamist #9 was wonderful, great location for all of our favorite spots to dine (old Florida fish house, cafe 30A and not too far for a trip to the red bar!), private beach and chair rental service made for a very relaxing stay. The accommodations were very nice, parking was easy and the beach front 3rd floor balcony made for a great view! We will definitely be back.

15 year anniversary family trip

This condo was perfect for our family of 5! Our teen and tweens loved the condo. Amy was amazing to work with and so helpful! Access to the beach was so easy. We had the chairs set up daily which made going down to the beach even easier. The amenities were perfect, condo is close to some of our favorite restaurants and shops. We bought a few sand toys and inflatables from Publix and easily brought them back and forth to the beach. There was even a turtle nest at the bottom of the stairs and we saw baby turtle prints heading towards the sand. The sunset views from the beach were amazing too.

Serenity at Seamist

Our trip to 30A was fabulous! Amy is the best host! The condo was super clean and the kitchen was stocked with everything we needed for the week. We made smoothies and margaritas with the Ninja blender. Amy helped us with restaurants and places to go see. The chair set up on the beach was definitely an added perk! The views from the condo were spectacular!!! It’s hard to even describe and put in words. We enjoyed eating on the deck and watching the waves. We spotted a few dolphins. The condo was very quiet and comfortable. It’s a great place to watch the beautiful sunsets, to relax and unwind. The condo had coolers, beach chairs and sand toys. You can rent bikes nearby. Overall we rate Amy and her condo 10/10! We can’t wait to come back and wake up to those spectacular views every day!

Great property

We have stayed everywhere from Destin to Inlet beach if you want a not sooo crowded beach and want a clean well appointed condo that is quiet then stay here. The only downside if you can even call it you have to walk luggage up two flights of stairs( my wife packs like we are going down for a month) but I'm used to it. Parking is good at condo, you are close to the Hub and if looking for a great lunch or an awesome dining experience at Old Florida Fish house.

Family Wedding ‘Ours’

Was very pleased we had the opportunity to check in a bit early, everything was extremely well-maintained and beautifully decorated. Kitchen has every appliance and accessory you need for your stay. We were afforded, the luxury of having our nuptials on the beach with our grown children and grandchildren in attendance. The condo owners In-laws were actually staying in the building and we got to meet them on the way down for the ceremony. Hope we are as blessed they shared they have been married for 63 years! Thank you to Amy for making everything Absolutely perfect for our special day and vacation. (Honeymoon) we now know where the hidden pearl is on 30 A and look forward to returning.

Great week on 30A

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We loved our stay at The Seamist. The unit greatly exceeded our expectation. This unit is perfect for a couple or small family. It isn’t large, but has everything you need. The unit has awesome views of the gulf, is located right on the beach, and is close to neighboring beaches. The beach is not crowded, and is perfectly beautiful. My husband and I prefer to visit small, casual beach bars and restaurants, which are non-existent on this stretch of 30A. There is plenty of shopping and high quality ($$$$) restaurants within a short distance. Traffic at neighboring beaches is awful, but easy to avoid getting to this unit. Our unit was ready early; and the management company called to let us know -‘s allowed us to check in at 10am, instead of 4pm. The unit was clean, had plenty of essentials (dish soap, towels, wi-if, Blu-ray, etc). We really felt like we were renting an economy unit, and were generally very impressed with the condition of the unit. The listed pictures don’t quite do it justice.

About the host

Hosted by AMY SMOLIK

Host profile image
I am a real estate broker in the State of Texas and have been in the business since 2005. I have bought, sold & managed many properties throughout the years!

We have been coming to this area for close to 30 years. We decided to purchase a piece of paradise in August 2018 and another in September 2022. We completely renovated both properties before sharing our pieces of paradise with all of you! Enjoy Serenity at Seamist #9 or Serenity Condo 30A! We hope you become repeat guests and have some wonderful memories along the way.

Why they chose this property

Seamist Condos have 12 units which are privately owned. We have been coming to this very building since 1992. We were lucky to purchase unit 9 from one of the original owners. Seamist is in a quiet spot along 30-A. Serenity at Seamist is on the 3rd floor and has the best views of all the units! You can have a quiet spot on the beach yet you are still close to all the tourist spots on 30-A!

Serenity Condo 30A is in Santa Rosa Beach. The cross walk to One Seagrove is in front of the building. Just two miles East of Seaside. Plenty of restaurants all around. In the heart of Old Seagrove!

What makes this property unique

• The Big Chill (formerly call The Hub at Prominence) | 1 mile | 5 Minute Bike Ride
• Alys Beach | 1.7 Miles | 8 Minute Bike Ride
• Rosemary Beach & Village of South Walton | 2.5 Miles | 12 Minute Bike Ride
