About this property

We've rolled back our rates to 2023! Lots of weeks open for summer and fall!

Hi! My name is Vicki and I'd like to tell you about Beyond the Sea. If you have any questions after reading, please feel free to contact me. I want you to have a great time at Beyond the Sea!

Picking a vacation rental can be exhausting. It can really make your head spin. After a while all the numbers of bedrooms and glowing adjectives run together and become a blur.

At Beyond the Sea, we do things a little differently, this included. I hope it helps you out.

So why should you stay at Beyond the Sea? Here a few highlights.

*Beyond the Sea sleeps 10, all in beds - 2 kings, 1 queen and 4 twins. No one is sleeping on a couch, futon or sleeper sofa in a common space. We have 4 real bedrooms and 3 1/2 bathrooms. Your whole group will be comfortable day and night. If there are 2 couples, no one has to fight over a king bed.

*The kitchen is stocked. I like to cook when I'm on vacation and Beyond the Sea has the tools, gadgets, knives, pots and small appliances that I like to use. The pots are large so you can actually cook for a big group. The knives are sharp. If you want to start your morning with a big breakfast, we have an electric griddle for pancakes and 2 waffle irons. The kitchen won't let you down. If you like to eat out, don't worry about your leftovers, the fridge will hold them.

*Beyond the Sea is furnished the way we'd want to find a rental. It doesn't look like a condo furniture company dropped off a kit, and it doesn't have the same style as everyone else. We want you to feel at home when you walk in the door. We believe in a setting that makes you feel relaxed and at home while on vacation. We believe in fast internet. We also believe in extras, like games and books to read to your kids, DVDs and beanbags, whole house speakers, umbrellas and baby equipment in the master suite. We like extras and we think you will too! We have 6 Electra Townie bikes with baskets to cruise around town on.

*Beyond the Sea is Spacious. I know that word gets tossed around a lot, but I mean it. We are on a wide lot for Seacrest and the house uses it well. Ours is a house built for a group who wants to spend time together but not be on top of each other.

*The outdoor spaces at Beyond the Sea are abundant. The front porch is the entire width of the house, and it is deep. There is a matching balcony above it with plenty of seating behind the privacy of palm fronds. At the back of the house is a screened porch with a dining table that is perfect for a late summer evening dinner or early morning coffee. The private deck off the master bedroom is perfect for escaping too! Not all houses offer you so many comfortable ways to enjoy the outdoors.

*Location, Location, Location. Beyond the Sea is a very short walk to the pool, about 2 minutes, and a quick tram ride to the beach. If you're up for it, walking to the beach isn't bad either.

*For your non-water and sun time, a brief and pleasant stroll takes you to Alys Beach for lunch at George's or a coffee while your kids play on the amazing playground next to Fonville Press. An even shorter walk will have you in the heart of Rosemary Beach for coffee at Amavida, lots of shopping, the childhood delight of the Sugar Shak and plenty of good food. A margarita from LaCo, multiple treats and the shops at Peddler's Village are even closer. Beyond the Sea feels like it is in the heart of the neighborhood. It sits in the right place to make your walk to town a breeze.

*If you must leave, the attractions of Panama City Beach are about a 15 minute drive. If it's a visit to Destin, your drive is about 30 minutes. On your return home, you find 2 private parking places waiting for you.

*I hope this has given you a little peek into a stay at Beyond the Sea. If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to contact us. It's a wonderful escape from the real world.

We hope you will be Happy at Beyond the Sea!

A trip to remember

We had a wonderful stay at Beyond the Sea! The house was spacious and well appointed. The grounds and community pool were beautiful and the golf cart shuttle service to the beach was an added bonus. The location was great....a quick walk into town and a short bike ride from Rosemary Beach. Vicki was very responsive and professional. We will definitely be back!

Beyond the Sea

Beyond the Sea was beyond our expectations! Many wonderful 2023 summer memories were made: chilling on the porch, visiting the lagoon pool, riding bikes, shopping the stores on 30A, playing on the beach, admiring the sunsets. Vicki and Phil were wonderful hosts. The house has everything you need and more! Great time!!

Great stay in Seacrest

We had a fabulous stay over spring break. The house was perfect for our family of 6 and we all had plenty of space. It was very clean and a great layout. It was probably the most organized house we have ever rented, the owners have really thought of everything. We love the area and love to bike to everything. The shuttle to the beach was very nice and convenient . Only wish Seacrest HOA would heat the giant pool or part of the giant pool. We had a great stay and will look to stay in the house again.

This is our 3rd house in Seacrest and was probably our favorite. It is perfect for families with extended relatives or friends with children staying together. It was spacious and well organized and had every thing we could possibly have needed and more. The kitchen was will stocked with cooking utensils, pans, spices, etc. and even had ziplocks and aluminum foil. They also had some kids plates and plastic cups, which was much appreciated for use with our 4 children. They had tons of other items for kids as well like toys, games, high chair, beach toys etc. We were very comfortable and extremely appreciative of how well stocked everything was, especially compared to properties we've stayed at run by agencies that provide the bare minimum. The layout was also perfect for a large family or multiple families of adults staying with kids. Beds were comfy with plenty of extra pillows and blankets, rooms were nicely sized, and living room/dining had plenty of seating plus a nice screened in outdoor porch with additional seating. I would say the cleanliness could be improved because we found a few items left behind by other guests and there were some areas that needed more attention, but the host talked with her cleaner after our stay and apologized for the experience. Overall, the host was extremely helpful and responsive and we would absolutely stay here again.

Wonderful Week at the Beach!

This was our first family vacation with our 5 and 2.5 year old. We were nervous as we’ve never gone anywhere without grandparent back up, but we ended up having the most wonderful week, in large part to this amazing home! Beyond the Sea was so well stocked and clean. There were toys and games for the kids, bedtime books, and the novelty of the outdoor shower. The pack n play and booster seat along with the huge collection of beach toys were so helpful to a family flying in. Our kids not only had a blast, but we as parents had an equally great time! We cannot wait to come back and stay at Beyond the Sea again!

Amazing stay in Seacrest

Communication with Vicki prior to our stay was easy and friendly. We got there and loved the layout of the house. One large bedroom downstairs and three upstairs. The bunkers were perfect for our three boys. The house was clean and in good working order. The most amazing thing was how well stocked the kitchen was, from pantry needs to kitchen tools and utensils. We cook a lot and did for every meal during our stay and we only needed to go grocery shopping for the main ingredients. We would stay here again in a heartbeat. Thank you Vicki and Phil!

Christmas

We had a lovely stay at beyond the sea and would recommend it to friends. The property was clean, comfortable, and had all the equipment/items for anyone’s cooking needs. I think we spent more time in the kitchen and dining area than anywhere in the house but the bedrooms were equally as nice. The bikes were a nice touch for the neighborhood but I especially liked the biking/running path as I was able to do a non-interrupted run to deer lake state park and back (9 miles if anyone wants to run it) The seacrest/seaside area does get really crowded with families as most people know but the public beaches are beautiful. I do wish Florida had a coastal commission that regulated beach access for the public and not just give priority to the developers and the rich but I think that’s another issue entirely. I will say that deer lake state park was probably my favorite thing to visit as it provided more of a natural scenic view rather and allowed for relaxation and great pics. The family had a great time and hope that anyone that reads this and books has a lovely time too.

Beautiful House

We enjoyed our stay here. The walk to the beach was about 8 minutes for adults...a few minutes longer with children ages 4-7. We mainly used the tram which arrived after a few minutes of waiting. The pool was just a couple minutes from the house. Convenient walk to several different restaurants, live music, beer/wine and ice cream which kept everyone happy. I should also note my gripes with the area. My only complaints had nothing to do with this home but was with some of the silly rules of the Seacrest neighborhood (only 1 point of entry into sand for beach shade, no drinks of any kind in the pool except clear bottles of water, adult swim). Also, the beach was very congested because, apparently, the beach area in front of beachfront homes is private property. All things considered, this was a great stay in a beautiful home. The space in the house was bigger than we expected based on pictures. There were tons of spices/oils/utensils/cookware which made it easy for the nights we stayed in. I would highly recommend this home to anyone who is looking to stay in this area.

My family and I had the most wonderful stay at Beyond the Sea!!! We stayed in the house 2 years ago and it is still AMAZING! It is close to the pool, close to the Seacrest Beach Square, close to Rosemary Beach and Alys Beach, and the tram stop is at the house next to this one. We love this area of Florida and this house makes our trip special. There are toys for the kids, beach toys and beach items in the storage shed, and we love the screened in back porch where the adults play card games or dominoes every evening. Vicki makes certain all of our needs are met and is only a text or cell phone call away. Thank you for making this trip the best one yet!!!

About the host

Hosted by Vicki Gaarder

Host profile image
We grew up in Minnesota and now live in Kansas. When our children were younger we loved going to the beach on vacation. We visited many beaches in many states, but the beaches in the Seacrest area are some of the best. That's why when Beyond the Sea became available we decided it would be an excellent home to invest in. We'd like you to know that we intend to keep Beyond the Sea the same great home that those of you who have stayed here before have come to know. For those of you who are thinking of visiting us for the first time, we hope you will find Beyond the Sea a special place to relax and unwind.

Why they chose this property

Our 2018 summer vacation was a family trip to Rosemary Beach with our children and grandchildren. We had an amazing time! We loved the warm clear water and sugar sand beach. We loved being able to walk to the restaurants and shops of Rosemary Beach. We knew this would be a wonderful place to make memories with family and friends. When looking for a rental property to invest in, Beyond the Sea caught our attention. The outstanding review history highlighting the distinctive way this property has been maintained impressed us.

What makes this property unique

Beyond the Sea is truly a unique property. We really love the open/spacious living area. The kitchen is set up perfectly for someone like me who likes to cook a few meals when on vacation. The screened porch off the kitchen is a nice surprise. We knew this would be the perfect house to have a family vacation at.

We love the charming feel of the Seacrest Beach neighborhood.
