Seagrove Villas Motel Closing August 12, 2012

Are there any other places on 30A that do daily rentals? When people asked us about short-short term stays I always suggested they try Seagrove Villas Motel previously. Not sure what to suggest now.

P.S. That was always my favorite web cam site too!

Yes we need a new location for that cam...



Go to www.HibiscusFlorida.com and www.gulfplacefl.com

They are taking them down right now.

Heartbreaking! We have so many wonderful memories of our September/October stays at Seagrove Villas! Three or four years ago we witnessed our first and only turtle hatch on their beach just west of the second set of stairs. My list of places I will miss in Seagrove keeps growing!

Drove by there tonight and saw they are tearing down the villas. So sad to see. That was on our way home from going to eat dinner in Seaside but ate elsewhere when we saw they were charging $5 to park there. Depressing evening

Seagrove Villas to be demolished

Has anyone seen what is happen at Seagrove villas this week? My fmily just spent 10 days there (left on 8/9) and we were told that they were going to implode the buildings this week. 1 of the 4 lots were already sold for 6.4 million

How very very sad.

Are the 4 lots subject to residential preservation districting? Thanks

I see the listing for one of the 4 lots (Lot 17 - where the cottages were) say this:

"The best gulf front lot available on Scenic 30-A. This lot is well over 200' deep and has 116.3' on the Gulf of Mexico. Zoning change to Infill should be complete by spring/summer. Infill zoning allows 8 units per acre. This parcel can be combined with 2 other lots to make just under 1 acre. This will allow a stately home with dramatic views and frontage. Located on the "Miracle Mile" stretching from the eastern edge of Seaside. This is the largest lot in the area! This lot will allow 2 attached units, Duplex. Could build 2 4000+ sq ft homes with common wall on one lot! This area is being redeveloped with many large $5-$10M homes and will house the premier gulf front homes in the area. Located in the heart of Seagrove Beach this lot is perched high atop a bluff allowing some of the finest gulf front views (and protection) on 30-A. There is also a Sea wall that has been installed. This is a very deep lot!"

Hoping for something architecturally nice !!

We own the house 3 down from the Villas site and have for over 40 years. We do hope they don't put up some multi-condo type horror. They're right about the view but the price is staggering. If it's just one house or a duplex that's better but if not - time to look for another place. No matter what looks like we've got months of construction to look forward to. And to think... I almost bought that lot in front of the restaurant for $30,000 back in the 70's before Seaside....

They really looked cute! Hate it when they tear down the old style beach places. They really make the area. Every bit of the old style hotels in PC Beach are gone except a few. Other than the Peeks Motel and it's been sold and is called something else now. That's what's need about the Mexico Beach area. Everything motel wise are pretty much still mom and pop motels.

Since I again cannot edit the above post I meant that's what's neat about Mexico Beach.

Best thing to do now is enjoy the view from Whiskey Bravo's rooftop while it lasts. Hate losing any bit of the charm around here!

Don't we all miss Seagrove Villas Motel? It was such a great place and so many have memories from there. I spent a week there with my family in 1996 and it was my favorite vacation we ever took!

See photos here! Tell us about your memories at Seagrove Villas Motel!

It's sad that so many folks are just finding out that it is gone gone.

Seagrove is losing it's old charm. We loved the old motel and have many happy memories there. Is there anywhere comparable?

And what's with the giant political banners????!!!!
