We enjoyed our visit. Everything was simply perfect. We had a beautiful view of the gulf and nice walks along the shore. The house was just as stated in the description, though the pictures don't quite do it justice. Thank you for sharing your lovely beach house with us!

This beach home was a dream to rent. Not only was the home beautifully decorated and designed, it had every comfort needed for our family. I spent so much time enjoying the thoughtful little design choices the owners have made in each room. From repurposed and salvaged wood to beautiful bedroom furniture, this was a dream. Everything felt personal. We loved how close the beach is- the privacy is unparalleled. We enjoyed evening bonfires, kite flying, and sea glass hunting on the beach. This trip will forever hold a special place in my heart.

This property was amazing! We had 15 family members and we were all extremely comfortable and just as happy with our stay. With 7 adults and 8 kiddos 3 to 11y/o, this speaks volumes. The house is beautiful and well supplied. Although there were no shells, the "Private" beach as well as the ocean were perfect! A great place to "get away"! From the start hosts were great communicators. Highly Recommend!

Beautiful home in a peaceful setting. Plenty of room to take walks out back on the beach or the road out front. About a 20-25 minute drive to get to grocery stores, restaurants, breweries, etc. We were there in February so the weather was hit and miss but the house is designed for all seasons. LOVED the wrap around porch!

We had a tragedy in our family and almost cancelled a week prior to our arrival. We decided that the stay may provide some healing and proceeded with our vacation. Lots of tears shed but loved the remote, quiet, beautiful scenery. Private beach was amazing!! House was great - clean, spacious, and lots of towels, dishes for our large family. Lots of beach toys and games for the kids. Host was very accommodating and replied quickly to my messages. We did have an issue with a leaky roof but I feel like it was an act of nature and beyond anyone’s control since we had so much rain during our stay. Host was on it immediately and someone was there to look at it right away. I specifically liked the doors from the rooms to the back porch - i’m an early riser and was able to sneak out on the deck/beach without waking anyone and spent some alone time looking at the beach every morning. Crab hunting on the beach at night was a highlight for the kids. Beach chairs (4) near fire pit was used daily. Local restaurants were very tasty! Our stay was perfect and looking forward to making this an annual trip in memory of Jesse.

We had a wonderful stay! The location couldn’t be better—beautiful beachfront and incredibly convenient, just steps from the sand. Our kids had a fantastic time, and we even enjoyed a couple of cozy bonfire nights. The home had plenty of space for our family, and we appreciated the extra blankets and rollaway beds. The fully stocked kitchen made it easy to cook most nights, and the sunsets were absolutely stunning. Such a relaxing getaway. We’ll definitely be back!

What a great place. The view of the sunset over the Gulf is amazing. This house has plenty to offer and the owners have made the whole process easy. The Shed BBQ and Bacchus on the Bayou were fantastic. I kind of wish our schedule hadn’t been so busy so that we could have spent more time out on the deck and beach.

About the host

Hosted by Irene Gillespie

Host profile image

My name is Clay Gillespie. My wife Irene and I have been very happily married for 30 years. We have 23-year-old triplets and a 22-year-old.

Why they chose this property

We own both Seagrass Beach Cottage as well as the Sandhill Beachhouse just next door. I immediately fell in love with both of these properties, their charm and character, not to mention the serenity of their own private beach right on the Gulf of Mexico. Our favorite part of Seagrass is the oversized covered back porch, where we can sit all day, taking in the breathtaking views and sounds of the ocean.

Ultimately, Irene and I plan to retire here, but in the meantime, we are pleased to share our home as a vacation rental property.

What makes this property unique

The most desirable benefit of the Seagrass Beach Cottage is most definitely the private, natural white sand BEACH! The sounds and views of the Gulf are absolutely spectacular, whether taking them in from the oversized back porch or from your beach chair right on the water.
