About this property
Seamist #3-Oceanfront at your Backdoor!!
Seamist is a private, 12-unit-only condo building with spectacular, oceanfront views both from inside the unit and from the first-floor balcony (unit #3) of the pristine white sands and crystal clear waters of the Emerald Coast. It is nestled immediately between Seaside Beach & Watercolor Resort and Alys & Rosemary Beach.
This condo is a beautiful one-bedroom (with a king-sized bed)/one bath with an additional set of twin stacking bunk beds that sleeps up to 4. Unit 3 is crisp, clean, and extremely welcoming. The kitchen is fully equipped with all the dishware and appliances you will need. There is easy seating for 5 between the bar and dining table. Also included: wifi, full-sized/stacked w/d, 2 grilling areas on a small, nice green lawn for the kids to play on while the sun begins to set.

You will enjoy having the entire condo to yourself. I have a wonderful property manager that lives in the area and is available if you have any problems. My husband and I are available by phone, text, or email to answer any questions you might have.
Seamist on Scenic Highway 30A offers easy access to scenic hike and bike trails along the coast; deep-sea diving and other ocean activities at marinas in both Panama City Beach and Destin; shopping and browsing of art galleries and boutiques at Seaside, Watercolor and the surrounding beach communities; golfing at award-winning courses such as Camp Creek, Shark's Tooth, Origins and Santa Rosa Beach Golf & Beach Club; extraordinary dining from barefoot beachfront to world-class cuisine; and unique local entertainment impossible to resist such as farmer's markets, free outdoor repertory theater each evening and many live bands and musicians. In the end, though, the memories of moving on 'beach time' and of the peace and relaxation that comes from the sound and beauty of the crashing waves on the white sands and from breathtaking sunsets will be what you will likely enjoy the most.
The 30A sidewalk runs in front of the condo which many people use to bike to Alys Beach (1.5 miles east), Rosemary Beach (2 miles east), The Hub (an outdoor entertaining and casual dining area 1 mile west), and of course Seaside (6 miles west). Renting bikes is easy. There are lots of reasonably priced vendors in the area and they deliver and pick up the bikes to/from the condo - even if you aren't there at the time.
A single parking pass is left in the condo for you and is required to remain on your windshield during your stay. While each guest receives a parking pass, we sometimes have non-guests use our parking lot. Cars that don't have the parking pass clearly visible may get towed at the owner's expense. Sorry for the inconvenience, but not having a parking space is more inconvenient ;) There are fences that restrict beach access to guests only. All guests will receive detailed driving directions prior to arrival.
Our prices include all fees. No hidden fees.

We had a great time. The condo was very clean and comfortable. Perfect for a small family and close to the beach. The surrounding area was nice and quaint. Loved riding bikes and relaxing on the beach.
Truly a relaxing stay. Easy check in, everything working (Wi-Fi, tv) with little effort. Plenty of parking, lovely small complex…will return next year!

Thank you so much and looking forward to your return!
Had a great experience at the property. Access to the beach is easy and the view from inside the residence is great. Communication was good and we were able to check in a little early. Spent most of our time on the beach but there were several things to do within a reasonable drive time.

The condo was perfect for our family vacation! It was clean, well-equipped, offered amazing views, and was steps from the beach. Our hosts were very informative and responded promptly. It was a very easy, hassle-free experience.

Great Stay, Great Location!
Our stay was a last minute decision, so we were excited to get anything. Well, our anything turned into a great location, right on the beach, condo has everything you would need and check in was seamless! We’ll be back!
This was booked as a last minute trip for my husband and I. It turned out perfect for us. The condo had what we needed. Close to the water and easy access from the first floor.

Thank you so much for the great review. Glad we could accommodate and hope to have you back soon.
We stayed at the floor condo at Seamist for a joint birthday celebration and it is did it not disappoint. Steps away from water and what a view! Condo is super clean, cute, and bed very comfortable. It was a very quiet and peaceful. Sometimes we were only ones on beach. Lovely condo and area.

Thank you for the great review. We are glad you guys had a great time. Wee look forward to having you back soon!
The views from the unit are amazing, steps away from the beach. The condo was clean, extremely comfortable for the two of us. Both the beds and pillows are very comfortable. We would definitely stay there again. Jessica was there for us if we needed anything, and helped with one small issue we had.
Thank you
This rental was great! Being on the first floor made trekking up and down from the beach so easy! The house was well stocked, clean, and the beds were comfy!! Beach was private, which was great but people would walk down from the public beach looking for space. Recommend putting your chairs down when you wake up! Lots of great memories made!

Thank you for the great review and hope to have you back soon!
We had an incredible stay at Seaturtle, a beautiful first-floor condo right on the beach. Upon entering, we were greeted by a stunning view of the Gulf. The condo was bright, spacious, and perfectly decorated with a beachy theme. The living area was spacious, while the kitchen had new appliances and everything we needed. The king bed was exceptionally comfortable, and while we didn’t need the two built-in bunk beds in the hallway, they were adorable and perfect for families with young children.A thoughtful gift bag filled with toiletries added a lovely touch. We were impressed with the cleanliness of the entire unit and patio. The covered patio was ideal for relaxing in the shade, and the perfect spot for enjoying the beautiful water view and surroundings. Just steps from the back porch, we were able to walk down to the most beautiful sugar-sand beach. It was very private, with very few people around. The charcoal BBQ was just steps from the back door, adding further convenience.Communication with the owners was super easy . We did not have any issues. The owners were wonderful and provided great information. Their website included excellent recommendations for local attractions and dining. We highly recommend this wonderful condo, Seaturtle. If you’re seeking a beautiful, uncrowded beach experience combined with a cozy and welcoming home, this is the perfect choice! Our four-day stay was far too short, and we will definitely return.

Wow - thank you so much for taking the time to write such a wonderfully detailed review. This is super helpful for future guests and of course for us. We very much look forward to your return!!
The condo looked like the pictures. The location is wonderful! The shower curtain eas moldy, but the owners were quick to respond to resolve that issue. We also noticed several dlats were missing off of the blinds, which wasn't a big deal to us. The last day, when we went to use the dishwasher for the 1st time, there were dirty dishes left from whoever was there before. We didn't notify because we were leaving, we just started it up. There were plenty of towels and kitchen supplies. We loved the balcony, outdoor shower, and decor. The kids loved the giant dolphin and sea turtle pillows on the bunk beds. We would definitely stay again!

Thank you for your feedback and for choosing to stay at our condo! We will make sure to address the missing slats on the blinds and we are so sorry to hear the dishwasher had not been run and will address that with the crew. We're glad that you found plenty of towels and kitchen supplies, and it's great to hear that the balcony, outdoor shower, and decor were to your liking. We're especially thrilled that the kids loved the giant dolphin and sea turtle pillows! Thank you again for your review, and we look forward to hosting you again in the future. Jessica and Michael
This property had a beach view porch and was right on the beach. We had lounge chairs and spent a major amount of our trip on the porch or on the beach.
We enjoyed the view and location of the property. I had to report black mold in the dishwasher, sand pile on the porch, abroken screen-door and missing blind pieces. I was asked to clean the mold with bleach myself. We had to rearrange blind pieces ourselves since it was viewing everything from outside at night.

Hi K. I am sorry for any disappointments that you had. As our comments from other guests on this platform and others attest, this isn't typical of our guests experiences.
I wish you had mentioned to me, your contact for the condo, any mold issues in the dishwasher. I certainly would NOT have asked you to clean it yourself. This is a first floor condo at the beach, so sand accumulating on the patio is a fairly common occurrence. It can simply blow in from the beach in the mornings with the shift in winds off the beach. It is annoying and consumes a large amount of our housekeeping staff's time, but it is the price we pay for being right on the beach.
Thank you for your feedback
Amazing property directly on the beach. Waking up and enjoying coffee and a book on the patio was one of my favorite parts. Everything we needed was available and Jessica was a fabulous communicator. Will be booking again as soon as dates come out for school breaks. Lovely vacation.
The good: Perfect spot on the beach, the steps down to the beach straight off of the patio are a rare thing, owner was communicative and helpful, bikeable to all of 30A, comfy a/c, easy access to place, good parking.
Drawbacks: Not walkable to many places (but bikeable), patio sliding door needs better locking method (won't go into detail in case this review is made public).
Overall, we very much enjoyed our stay and would recommend it to friends.
So we stayed in one of these last year on second floor, nice and beautiful but this one on the ground level was fantastic! Beds all super comfy and everything we needed!
