AREA ATTRACTIONS:

Seaside is a fantastic destination, most widely known for being featured in the Truman Show with Jim Carrey. Its incredible architecture has helped to make it famous but also its faithful replication of the kind of seaside town that used to be common up and down the coast. Seaside has its own Farmer's Market, post office, Repertory Theater, and neighborhood school. It boasts unique shopping, fantastic cuisine, and incredible architecture that makes Seaside famous. There are activities for everyone; kayak rentals, bike rentals, paragliding, fishing, golfing, hiking, swimming, tennis -- you'll find it all right here.

Bike over to Blue Mountain Beach Creamery for some homemade scoops that will have your taste buds coming back! You'll have an array of dining options to choose from!

The snorkelers in your group will love the new artificial reef called Sea Turtle Reef, deployed in 2017. Located just 783 feet out from the Grayton Beach State Park access, it is becoming a haven for sea life. Each of the 4 snorkeling reefs comprises 40 acres of permitted sea bottom. The Sea Turtle Reef is at a depth of 12-19 feet. We strongly recommend that snorkelers use a kayak, paddleboard, or other flotation device when visiting the snorkel reefs. Sea conditions can and do change quickly and often. Enjoy!

"The house and neighborhood were beautiful, and close to the surrounding attractions. The neighborhood is so peaceful and charming.
My husband didn't want to leave the shower in the master bedroom, and is already missing it now that we're home.
Maybe for the future renters, let them know there's no complementary coffee, sugar or salt packets to start them out during their stay, and perhaps instructions on how to work the different television remotes (for older generation type people lol), and directions to the closest grocery stores would be helpful.
But for future renters: if you're waffling on whether to rent here or not - waffle no more and just rent this beautiful house!"

Deborah, Thank you for the 5-star review. We're thrilled to hear that you and your husband enjoyed the beautiful house and peaceful neighborhood. You should have gotten an email prior to your stay letting you know that we provide starters of kitchen and bathroom essentials so you should plan to bring these items from home or purchase them once you get here. This is for safety reasons. We hope you'll join us again soon. Thank you for choosing RealJoy.
