Photos and Description of the Seaside vacation cottage rental
3 bedrooms, 2.5 bathrooms, sleeps 8

Lazy Summer Days! Crisp Fall Nights! 'Old Florida' at its best!

SEACLIFF COTTAGE is a 1-story custom-built wooden home. Nestled among the pines and magnolias, the cottage is located in quiet Seagrove Beach, less than one mile from Seaside Village and Watercolor. A leisurely 3 to 5 minute stroll (200 yards) down a peaceful country (gravel & sandy) lane brings you to the boardwalk access to our BEAUTIFUL GULF BEACHES {Please see our PHOTOS and our wonderful VIRTUAL TOUR). To complete this idyllic vacation setting is a BEAUTIFUL BRAND NEW PRIVATE POOL to enjoy in your own backyard!

Spectacular sunrises or sunsets can be enjoyed from the top of the boardwalk as you descend from the sand dunes down the steps to the sea! The sugar white sands await with its gentle surf which makes swimming and surfing possible for children of all ages! Come for the beaches - Stay (and return again and again) for the restful sense of community life in Old Seagrove Village.

Our cottage is family-friendly. We love children! With three bedrooms and two full baths, the cottage sleeps eight (including one fold-a-way). Each of two bedrooms has a queen bed and the third bedroom has three twin beds. A portacrib is also available for the baby! The cottage features four TVs (with family cable),four DVDs & one VCR, a game chest for the kids, and an exchange library for all. The cottage is now WIFI accessible -- so bring your laptop and 'surf' the net --- as well as the ocean! Plan your day at the beach while relaxing on the SCREENED back porch and/or RELAX around our private pool (to the sounds of our mini-waterfall)

The cottage has eight bicycles for our guests' use (26 inch). Please bring your own bike helmets -- and naturally ride at your own risk. You can rent children's seats at the bikeshop down the corner if needed. Riding along the protected bike path which follows all of Scenic 30A is beautiful -- you can bike into Seaside within 10 mins from the cottage. OR enjoy the more pristine trail around Eastern Lake with its beautiful boardwalk over miles of dunes. Let the kids walk to the local pizza parlor or select a movie at the video store.

A BRAND NEW PRIVATE 14 x 28 POOL is in your own backyard! Pool has a salt chlorinator. Relax and plan your next day outings while listening to the gentle spray from the pool's mini 'waterfall' fountain!

Seagrove Beach is an 'old world' beach village. Step back in time and eat at the old Seagrove Market/Cafe or visit many of the regionally renowned restaurants (e.g., Borago, Angelinas, Seagrove Market,, Thirty-One A Restaurant, & Enzios). Explore the night life (Grayton Beach's famed Red Door; Seaside's Bud & Alleys; Seagrove's '723.' ).

NO SMOKING!! ADULTS (25 yrs+) AND FAMILIES ONLY PLEASE! SORRY, BUT NO PETS ARE ALLOWED -- NO EXCEPTIONS!!

Perfect for the family looking to be close to the action but far enough away for a bit of privacy

we had a wonderful time on our recent trip to seagrove beach and our stay at seacliff cottage. we have three kids and the pool was the PERFECT addition to our vacation. we spent the mornings at the beach, came home for lunch, and let the older kids swim in the pool while the baby napped. it broke up the day in the perfect way. the owners have thought of everything....games, books, beach toys, towels, umbrellas and chairs....the house was clean and tidy with plenty of items in the kitchen for dining at home. we used the charcoal grill several times as well. we appreciated all of the restaurant tips/recommendations as well as the menus. while you do have to cross the often busy 30-A to get to the beach, it's still a very easy walk to the water--either straight ahead or down a bit to get to a handicap accessible ramp (great for our stroller!) we would definitely return!

We loved the cottage! Personally we were hoping for warmer weather but knew we were taking a chance going in March. Our neices and nephew loved the pool, but it was just too cold to get in...we spent most of our time sitting around it, it was beautiful though. We cooked alot at the house rather than going out and we loved how well stocked the kitchen was, however we were a little disappointed to find out that the grill was charcoal. That may have been stated in the property amenities, but we missed it if so. The only complaint we did have was the furniture in the living room, there were 7 of us and not enough seating for everyone.

Annual Summer Family Vacation

  • Submitted: Oct 28, 2012

The best vacation we've had so far while visiting the Emerald Coast. We had a house full and never felt crowded. We chose Seacliff Cottage because of the private pool and proximity to the Beach. The pool is awesome! The beach is just a short "hop skip and a jump" from the front door. We did not walk to the beach very often due to having an infant, but the public entrance with ramp leading down to beach was just a short drive. We loved it and plan on returning next summer!!!

We just had the best family vacation at Seacliff Cottage! We will definitely be returning! We have 2 young children and thought this property was perfect for them. The owners have thought of every detail to make your stay more enjoyable. There was a pack-n-play with sheets, toys for both the pool and beach, board games, bikes and even strollers! The pool is awesome - we all spent a lot of time there. It was very clean and comfortable - saltwater, benches and even a waterfall. Our littlest one really enjoyed that. What we liked best about this location was that it was down a quiet local road - it wasn't overly crowded or loud. We felt completely safe with the kids playing in the yard or riding their bikes. However, at the same time - it was a quick/easy walk to the most beautiful beach and a quick bike ride or drive to town - the best of both worlds!! Thank you to the owners for making this a perfect family vacation spot!

We travelled all the way from London, England with our four teenagers to stay at Seacliff Cottage - and we weren't disappointed! It had everything we need for a perfect vacation - the cottage was clean, well-equipped and spacious, the pool was fantastic, the bikes were brilliant fun, the gorgeous beach was a pleasant short stroll away....and there's a great selection of local restaurants. Even the weather was peffect! We would definitely recommend this property.

Owner's Response: We try to make all our guests feel special at Seacliff Cottage! We are especially pleased, however, to warmly welcome international travelers to "our" special and less well known part of Florida! Seagrove Beach,is a charming old Florida beach-side community, immediately adjacent to the well known Seaside Village! We have had guests from England, Denmark and Germany. Having traveled to England and the Continent ourselves several times, we are always pleased to have the chance to share our cottage and all its amenities -- including our private backyard pool, bikes and our beautiful Gulf beaches -- with our fellow "international" travelers! Welcome!
