About this property

Walk to Beach & Dining, Children 12+ OK, Dog OK, Vintage Vibe, Modern Amenities

Beach Life! Quick walk to the beach! Neighborhood Walk down!

Walk or bike to shopping, restaurants and more. Lots of beach amenities at the house!

Escape at the Sea is the perfect "adult" beach house, with vintage furnishings and memorabilia, spiral stairs, and above ground decks. The beach house sleeps a MAXIMUM OF FOUR. We welcome children 12 YEARS OF AGE AND OVER. Our home was not designed with young children in mind. We do not have play space, nor is the home childproofed in any way. PLEASE NOTE! BEFORE YOU BOOK, MESSAGE US WITH YOUR QUESTIONS, THE NUMBER OF GUESTS, CHILDRENS' AGES AND INFO ON YOUR PET. WE DO NOT ACCEPT BOOKING REQUESTS WITHOUT COMMUNICATING FIRST. WE STRICTLY MAINTAIN THE 4 PERSON MAXIMUM AT OUR HOME. Max stay 27 nights.

Escape at the Sea is on the "beach side" of 30 A and Hwy. 98, affording both easy access to the Gulf and to local activities. We are located in Inlet Beach, Florida, a vibrant and historic enclave at the Eastern-most end of the 30A Corridor. 30A is a 19-mile scenic road that winds through coastal Beach communities along the Gulf of Mexico, skimming dune lakes, wetlands and parks, sharing the space with bike/hike trails and nature paths. Multi-star restaurants co-exist with Boho coffee shops. Cars make way for bikes and boats make way for kayaks and paddleboards. Stroll around an Art Fair, catch an outdoor market, hang out at a bonfire, paddle board and enjoy international cuisine. Or do as we do, and relax on the front deck, wind chimes in the air, surf in the background….and beautiful breezes everywhere!

Escape at the Sea is a memorable part of the neighborhood. Most everyone knows the “A frame” and newcomers pass by and call it “So Cool”. It is one of the last true Beach Houses in the area….cozy, colorful, and yes….cool!

Escape At the Sea is a unique and entertaining throwback to the past, carefully curated to its original surf shack vibe. On the walls you’ll find things like a vintage surfboard and skis, local art, and Panama City Beach memorabilia. Relax under an old school stuffed Mahi, sleep under a Barracuda, and throw in a load of laundry alongside a Spanish Mackerel… original, colorful tributes to the area’s fishing history! Grab a morning coffee on the sunrise deck; catch the sunset from the upper balcony.

Visitors could spend the entire trip on the "above ground" main floor. The first floor has a bedroom with queen bed and large closet, full bath with walk in shower, living room with sofa and kitchen.
The upper floor is accessible by a spiral staircase, has a bedroom with queen bed, large closet, and half bath. At the top of the stairs is an open loft area for casual conversation, and a dedicated work space.
The ground level has an open air shower for rinsing off, with privacy panels and cool water.
A large deck surrounds the main floor. Enjoy your morning coffee on the rear sunrise deck, just off the first floor BR, or barbecue your dinner on the gas grill. Guests also enjoy access to the upper sunset deck, with a "peekaboo" water view. In addition to the eat-in kitchen, the rear deck has an umbrella table for dining outdoors.

About the host

Hosted by "V" Jaffe

Host profile image
Rich and V have been visiting Inlet Beach since the 1960’s, and still live in Inlet Beach. Both retired, Rich is an avid fisherman and "adventure cook". V shows her Wearable Art in local galleries and art shows.

Why they chose this property

The A-frame is a family beach house built by Rich’s folks, and is one of the earliest houses in the area. We love it and hope to keep it FOREVER!

What makes this property unique

When built in 1970, Escape at the Sea was a state of the art "hurricane proof" steel frame kit house. Today it is a collectible, whimsical step into the past, with a bit of California Dreaming thrown in. The A Frame is situated on tall pilings, 10’ above the ground, to catch the breeze and the view. Never break a sweat. Never miss a sunrise or sunset!
