It was a very nice stay. The beach was close. The house was clean and modern. I liked the natural porch with trees and plants. The rent process was a little intimidating with the 3 different documents to read and sign. I think this could be consolidated to 1 document. Checkout process was simple. Overall, it was a positive experience

Thank you so much for your thoughtful review! We're glad you enjoyed your stay, especially the beach access and the natural porch area—it really is a special spot. We also appreciate your feedback about the rental process. We understand that reviewing and signing multiple documents can feel a bit overwhelming. Each document is kept separate because it covers different important items, and we’re required to have an individual signature for each one to ensure everything is clearly acknowledged and properly documented. That said, we’re always looking for ways to make the process feel more streamlined and user-friendly. We’re happy to hear the checkout process was simple and that your overall experience was a positive one. We’d love to host you again in the future!

Family beach getaway

Sea Haven is a wonderful property. The location is one block from the beach in a quiet neighborhood and plenty of privacy. The amenities were ample and the host Nancy was very responsive. The property accommodated 7 adults and had plenty of beach equipment. Close to stores and attractions. Sea Haven is perfect if your family is looking for somewhere that feels like home.

The place was beautiful and the location of it had very easy access to the beach, was within short walking distance. Had a little trouble with the thermostat to the house (hadn't touched it at all, and the a/c unit wasn't kicking on) but it was on the last day so it wasn't that big of a deal. Overall had a wonderful stay with my family

We have stayed at numerous places up and down 30A, from Destin to PCB, and everywhere in between. And we would say this was one of the coziest beach houses we have stayed in. It’s perfectly nestled in shady trees, a private back porch with grill, and enough space for our family of four to relax for the week. The beach is a very short walk away, and the house has everything you need from chairs, wagon, umbrellas, a pop up canopy, and lots of beach toys! We were there during fall break and the beach never felt over crowded. We would go around noon each day and easily get a spot on the water. The shops and restaurants nearby are all great and easy to get to. We had a great week and would gladly go again!
