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 Getaway for 2!

We went down to 30A for a long weekend, and the Serenity at Seamist was perfect for me and my wife! Amazing value for the price and location ON the beach and proximity to Alys and Rosemary. 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.

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.

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.

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.

Beautiful condo and excellent location

The condo was immaculate and was nicely decorated. The ocean view and patio were terrific and being right on the beach can't be beaten. The location was perfect. Close to many restaurants and shopping but not right in the midst of all the crowds and traffic. Would definitely stay here again!

Birthday Getaway

Had a great 4 day stay to celebrate our 4 and 6 year old’s birthdays. Sea Mist 9 was a perfect size for the 4 of us. Beds were very comfortable and beach access was very easy. Only complaint is the road noise on 30A being so close, but easily remedied with a sound machine while we slept.

Perfect!

This unit is perfect for a relaxing weekend at the beach. Parking and beach access are a breeze. Great location yet surprisingly peaceful. After looking at the other rentals at this unit it seems this is the best pick for clean and updated furnishings, beach view and sun on the patio… ideal for cool fall days!

WE had the best time from the moment we walked into the place and looked out the window at the amazing view. Every morning waking up, and walking to the patio to see the ocean right there was more then amazing. Will for sure be there again!!! 5 stars all the way…

Crock's Review

Had a great time. Only complaint was that we were told there was a dvd player onsite, which there was but had old rca hookups and the newer tv was HDMI. We finally got a newer player on our last day. Normally not that big of an issue but we brought along several dvds of daughters dance recitals from the past we wanted to watch.

About the host

Hosted by AMY SMOLIK

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!
