This home is incredible! Beautifully decorated and pleasant interior, excellent kitchen supplies, lovely views, super fun pool, and sooo close to the beach! Plus, it had everything we needed for fun outside or inside-- bikes, beach gear, game room, etc. We can't wait to come back!
We had 18 guests ages 1-65 and NO ONE had a complaint! That is hard to do with 18 people! We had plenty of space in the house and there was so much to do in the house alone - games, and table games. We had a baby with us and there was everything there that we needed. High chairs, cribs, bouncy seat. You can tell this house is setup for all ages. The beach access was very close - about 3-5minute walk. And they have ample beach supplies to use plus carts to tow everything to the beach. The beach itself is beautiful. I wasn't sure what to expect in July as far as crowds go but we had plenty of room on the beach all day long. The owner was very responsive to all of my questions/needs. The view from the 2nd and 3rd floor balconies was gorgeous. I would 100% stay here again!
Everything about this vacation property added to the fun week our family experienced. Check in was smooth. The property was clean inside and out. Some of the things that stood out, compared to other vacation properties we have rented, were: an abundance of beach related items - towels, chairs, toys, etc.; kitchen was more than adequately equipped for a large group; plenty of bicycles. Walk to the beach was short. Retail stores, restaurants & bars were an easy walk, less than a mile away. And when we had a minor maintenance issue it was taken care of very quickly. All in all, we had a wonderful week of vacation.
As our family grew we were looking for a larger house to visit. After trying different houses, âSeek Rest by the Seaâ has exceeded our wishes. The owners have thought of everything. Extra washers and dryers, refrigerators, dishwashers, beach towel etc.. Many extras made for an easy week. Ice maker was a big plus with a family. Many positive points!Short walk to beach. Even the stairs to the beach were manageable.
My family had an amazing time. The house was perfect for our family size (18 people) with plenty of room for everyone. The walk to the beach access wasn't too long and there was so many carts, chairs and umbrellas for us to use! The pool was cloudy on the first day but the pool guys came out and cleared it up in no time!! Communicating with the property management was very simple and they responded in good time to any issues/questions we had. Highly recommend this house for families with all ages!!
We had our whole family (21 people) stay for a week vacation.. the house fit us perfectly.. the kitchen was stocked with everything we needed, there were beach and pool toys for all ages.. the beach seemed a little further than we thought plus a lot of steps up and down to the beach, the beds were comfortable. The number of people was very minimal each day.. ( weâve gone to Destin for over 40 years and the crowds finally pushed us away) Each of the 4 families had a wonderful time⊠really no need to leave the house much.. Publix is very convenient!
We had an absolutely fabulous time in this beautiful home. It met every need and exceeded our expectations. The walk to the beach is so short and we loved how secluded it felt on this private beach. The neighborhood is very quiet and we would love to return again. The owners are wonderful and communicated so well that we had no issues during our stay.
What a great week celebrating our 50th Anniversary
Our family loved this home, 17 of us all ages from 70âs down to 1. There was space, easy access to beach and a pool to enjoy. This is definitely the best stocked rental home we have been in from the kitchen, beach gear, pool toys and bikes. We loved that it is tucked away on a private road away from the busyness of 30A. Would not hesitate to return for another wonderful week on the beach.
8 adults and 8 kids spent a week in this lovely house making memories and we had a wonderful time. There are so many well thought out additions: ice maker in the garage, two refrigerators and two dishwashers, ample room for games, relaxing, and plenty of laughs. We loved it!
We had an amazing time in Rosemary beach, Kathy had a great disposition to help but we never needed anything because it was all perfect, a very nice house and very equiped
Our family gathering of 14 had an incredible time during our week stay. Check in process was easy, location to beach was amazing and the house met our needs perfectly with a lot room/space to spare.
Kathy was very responsive with any/all questions and we could not have been more pleased with our stay.
This was our second year staying at this property. It is a great size for our extended family and has everything you might need. The beds are very comfortable, everything you could need in the kitchen, plenty of what you would want to have at the pool and beach, a short walk to an uncrowded beach. We are planning on flying instead of driving next year because this house has everything. Kathy and Dirk are great hosts!
We are a family of 18, parents, 5 kids, 3 spouses and 8 grandchildren. The house was more than perfect. Each family had their own king room and bath. The older grands enjoyed the queen bunk beds with their cousins. We cooked meals and what we forgot to bring was already there for us to use. We have never found a house so stocked. We have 3 grands under 2 and gates on stairs was much appreciated along with other baby products available. The beach towels, wagons, chairs, umbrellas and toys for the beach were a bonus. Loved using the bikes. Thank you for the wonderful week!!!
My 4 adult children (plus three of their spouses) and 6 grandchildren (2 mo, 9 mo, 1 yr, 3 yr, 6 yr and 8 yr old) and myself enjoyed a lovely stay. July 2024. There was enough space to all eat together and hang out in the large community areas of the house yet there were places to branch out both inside and out. The swimming pool was clean and well kept up. At least 25 beach towels for use! Pool and beach toys galore! We truly overpacked as this home had an overwhelming amount of items for small children ( two cribs, pack and plays, lifejackets) , There were Foosball, ping pong , air hockey and a billiard table that would have been even more of a blessing if we had bad a weather day . We are foodies and do a lot of cooking- goodness! ...every appliance imaginable! Instant pot, blenders, toaster oven, to name a few. large pots, all types of utensils. Huge 6 burner stove- two dishwashers two washer /dryers Abundant table service - we even found a huge number of screwers to make shrimp kabobs on the awesome grill! The bedrooms were spacious. Two bedrooms had QUEEN bunk beds! Imagine that! The walk to the beach access was 3-7 minutes depending on if the one and three year old wanted to walk themselves! Once at the access point. There was a 16 stair climb up steps and then 30 steps down over the dunes to the beach area. We used Yeti backpack coolers to carry water and snacks to the beach (recommend!) and rented beach set ups thru VayCayZen to have umbrellas and chairs
This house/property met all of our standards...and then some! Not only was it well appointed (as advertised) but there was plenty of space for our group to relax and enjoy. The location provided great views of the coast and beach access was a breeze. As a group, we have visited properties along the Florida coast and Carolina coast - this property was voted the BEST. We will certainly visit again. Thanks!
ABSOLUTELY AMAZING!! It was the best FAMILY vacation. I've never seen a kitchen so well stocked. There's plenty of pots/pans, blenders, crock pots, etc.. Everything was as described. We all had a hard time leaving! Loved the location. Thanks Kathy for helping me with our 25th renewal on the beach. It was perfect!! The owners actually checked in with me to make sure things were adequate. Kemp was very quick to come and attend to 1 concern. Lots of memories made this week.
Great location and absolutely everything needed for a terrific multi-generational family reunion was provided! I would gladly return and highly recommend this property for all ages!
It started as a family vacation including my 86 yr old Dad. My husband and I renewed our vows (44+ plus yrs) on the beach and found out we are going to be grandparents again. An eventful week. The house fit our needs perfectly. Was well stocked and had plenty of room to spread out. The pool was used daily. The area was perfect. Beach access was close by but since the dunes are so high in this area, anyone with knee issues may have an issue. Lots of stairs. Thanks for sharing your beautiful home with us!
This was a great property! Others have posted this, but it truly was the best stocked VRBO we have ever stayed at. Our family of 16 had more than enough space. We loved the pool area, and the kids were in the pool every day.
Kathy was very responsive to my questions and was great to work with.
We took advantage of the board games, puzzles, pool table and ping pong tables, which all provided us a lot of laughs and entertainment!!
The beach is just a short walk away and was never crowded. I also loved the house is on the south side of 30A so we didnât have to try and cross the road to get to anything. The house is also a 15 minute walk to the Big Chill.
I would definitely recommend this property and we will be back!
We highly recommend this house for your next vacation to the beach. It had everything you could need. The location was quiet. The kitchen fully stocked with food preparation equipment and dishes. A tv for everyone. Very comfortable beds for everyone. Lots of games to play and equipment to use. And to top it off very clean. We had one lock problem on the door and the caretaker arrived promptly and fixed it. A very nice house for our family to enjoy.
Seek Rest by the Sea is a beautiful home, generously furnished with every supply and amenity we could want. My wife and I, four adult children and their kids (three generations) totaled 18. We thoroughly enjoyed every minute. This was our first reunion of my entire family in 4 years, and we couldn't ask for a better setting. None of us had ever been to this area before. Kids loved the bunk rooms and the big upstairs rec room.
Rosemary Beach is a 4-minute walk. The sands are beautifully white and soft. During Thanksgiving week the weather was mostly good (60s-70s, not much rain), and there were few people on the beach, so we could have it all to ourselves!
We used the bikes, beach chairs, and toys. And the POOL, which we asked to be heated, got more use than I expected. The children used it every day, and some adults did too. Even when the temps were in the 50s or 60s, it felt great in the pool.
We loved the peaceful vibe of the town. Later, my wife and I went to Destin, which has its appeal too, but it's much more commercial and noisy than Rosemary Beach. Since our goal was quality family time, rather than outings, we stayed at the house and beach, ventured out only to get food and ride bikes.
The kitchen and laundry facilities are ample and served our family well.
There were a few maintenance items that we dealt with, and our hosts and their staff were prompt to respond to all our questions and requests.
We'd be happy to return someday!
We had a small wedding weekend here with family and friends, and the property could not have been more perfect. Iâve never been to a rental property that was so well stocked with anything someone could need for recreation, cooking, and everything else. We would all sit on the porches with coffee in the morning, looking out over the water and talking and laughing. The walk to the gorgeous beach is just a few minutes. We canât wait to go back again!
We love the 30A area and just couldn't get enough so we purchased Seek Rest By The Sea in December 2019. We live in Denver, CO, have 3 children and 8 grandchildren. We've lived in many places across the country - and this is definitely one of our favorites.
