About this property

A Picturesque Cottage Retreat nestled in Cassine Village, Seagrove Beach.

Note: If booked try our sister property at vrbo/1314455.

The perfect place for a Sea Esta!

Our beach home is located in Cassine Village, a lovely community in Seagrove Beach right across from the ocean on 30-A. It’s just a short walk to the beach with easy access. The neighborhood amenities include 2 pools, 2 tennis courts with pickle ball, a nature trail, a private lake with fishing and picnic areas, and a basketball goal. There’s always something to do in Cassine!

The Master Bedroom has a king size bed, his & her closets, a bathroom with walk-in shower, and a flat-screen TV. The second bedroom has a queen bed with a flat-screen TV, and it offers private access to the second full bathroom. The third bedroom has 2 twin beds, a larger flat-screen TV and a Blu-ray/DVD player.

The kitchen, dining area, and family room are a wide-open space to enjoy some downtime and relax. There are French doors separating this area from the bedrooms. The family room has a large flat-screen TV with Blu-ray/DVD player. There is also a queen sleeper sofa with a second full sized sofa for plenty of seating. The dining area offers a fun bistro-style table with seating for six, and the breakfast bar has another four barstools to seat a total of ten. The kitchen is stocked with granite countertops, stainless appliances, large pantry, tons of cabinet space, and all the chef's tools you need to enjoy a nice meal after a full day at the beach.

A large screened in porch in back faces the wooded area surrounding the private community lake. It has a comfy pit group sofa & coffee table, along with another bistro-style table with seating for four. It’s a wonderful place to sit and relax, read, enjoy a cup of coffee, or play games with the family. Just off of the screened porch is a patio area with another table for four, and a large four-burner grill for cooking all the fresh seafood you want. This is all in addition to the cozy front porch with seating for four.

Other amenities include free wifi, washer/dryer, beach chairs & umbrellas, a trellis to shade your car, and a large outdoor storage closet for storing any of your other beach stuff or bicycles.

Seaside Beach is an easy bike ride, as well as the Publix grocery, Tom Thumb, and many restaurants. 'Goatfeathers' is across the street from the neighborhood for some fantastic fresh seafood. The entrance to Cassine has a Mexican restaurant, a pizza place, an ice cream shop, and a shop for beach toys and other items.

You won't find a better value this close to the beach! We hope you visit Sea Esta and fall in love with it as much as we have!

We had an amazing stay at this home! The home was very clean, probably the cleanest vacation rental we have stayed in. The location is amazing because it is right between all of the places on 30A that you want to visit. We loved how the house was stocked with beach chairs and toys for our kids and they had a blast using them at the beach! The neighborhood was quiet and was a super short walk to the beach— perfect! We had two small kids and the walk was easy even with them! We will def want to stay again at this home.

This was our second time at the Sea-Esta, and it was another wonderful experience. The house has everything you'd need for preparing meals (we did a fair amount of cooking - and loved dining out on the screened in patio) and relaxing indoors....or heading to the beach, which is an easy and short walk. We love the neighborhood - quiet, beautiful, and walkable to restaurants and shops. The host, Stephanie, is so communicative and helpful. It truly is the perfect getaway. This was our second time, but it won't be our last. My two boys (ages 12 and 13), my husband, and I all agree - we don't want to stay anywhere else!

We had an absolutely wonderful stay at Sea Esta! My family has been making the Seaside trip for close to 30 years and this has been our favorite spot! The location is close to the beach, but not on a crowded street. The screened in back porch surrounded by trees was beautiful and very private unlike a lot of other homes in the area. Stephanie was very gracious and responsive. Will stay here again!

Great location! This was our 3rd time staying at Sea Esta. About 2 1/2 blocks from the beach; an easy walk even with kids. Can walk or drive to nearby restaurants, coffee shops, ice cream shops, etc. The house has everything you would need, including beach chairs, wagon, toys and more. The screened in back porch is one of our favorite features of the house. The addition of the ramp at the beach access is a wonderful perk.

Just Off 30A

Tucked in a quiet neighborhood off of 30A. Two onsite pools. Short walk to public access beach - be sure to get there early as some visiting setup chairs and umbrellas and leave to come back later - wagon, chairs, umbrellas and beach toys provided. Pizza shop in walking distance. Perfect Pig close by too. Short drive to Panama City. Same for Grayton Beach and Destin. Live our host, Stephanie, as she was very easy to work with.

All the reviews for “Sea Esta” are 10/10. I wondered, “Is that really true?” Yes, it’s true. Everything- cleanliness, location, amenities, communication, ease checking in/out, etc. are great. You won’t be disappointed.

Family vacation

What a perfect week!! The house was exactly what the 6 of us needed. Plenty of beach chairs, beach toys, wagon and umbrellas we didn’t need to bring a thing. The pool was a nice change of pace. We loved the outdoor shower for getting ‘most’ the sand off. We all enjoyed the screened-in porch the frogs were great to listen to at night. Kitchen was well stocked with everything we needed for cooking a few meals. Enjoyed using the gas grill too! Easy walk to the beach, pizza parlor, Goatfeathers for fresh fish to grill, donut shop and of course the snow cone shop! Stephanie was so easy to deal with and very helpful. This quickly became one of our favorite vacation spots!!

Always wonderful!

I’m not even sure what year we are on, but I believe this was the 8th or 9th year at SeaEsta. It was a perfect 10 days and SeaEsta did not disappoint. The beach was great, the pools were great and the house is great. The owners are wonderful and will respond almost immediately if something comes up. We already booked again for next year.

Great spot

We loved our stay! Very cute neighborhood that felt tucked away, but was still a super easy walk to the beach (our 3 year old could walk the whole way no problem). The house was perfect for our family of 5. Walking distance to some restaurants and a short drive to Seaside, etc as well. We would definitely stay here again next time we are in the area!

About the host

Hosted by Stephanie Bowker

Host profile image
Our family has frequently visited Cassine Village in Seagrove Beach for the past 5-6 years. We've been looking to buy a beach property and fell in love with this beautiful home. It has not been rented before, and it is in immaculate condition. We love riding bikes & walking in the morning, hanging out at the beach during the day, and feasting at many of the local restaurants in the evening. We often visit nearby Seaside and Rosemary beach but prefer a quiet day in Cassine Village and cooking out for dinner.

Why they chose this property

We've stayed in 2 other homes in Cassine, a condo on the beach, a town home down the road, and a large home for a family reunion. After spending time up and down the panhandle, Cassine is our favorite place, and this is our favorite home.

What makes this property unique

Tons of upgrades - it's nicer than our own house!
