Do you mean East of 395?
If so, that is Seagrove and a great neighborhood to be in!
East of 393 is quite a ways from Seaside, but could still be a nice place - there are just more condos, wetlands etc. that are possible variables.

I know mailing addresses are katty wompous at best down there, but Santa Rosa Beach is not Seaside nor vice versa. If it's 393, you're in Santa Rosa, and if it's east of 395, you're actually in Seagrove.
There is a Seaside-ish neighborhood about .2 miles east of 393. I would run the address through Google Maps, first, to see where it really is...

My guess is that the listing just used the magic real estate words "seaside".
Sort of how everything in this area is "5 minutes from the beach" even when it takes you that long just to drive South to hit 98! ;-)

Sounds like it could be in Old Florida Village? Newer homes and probably a pretty good rental location but a few miles from Seaside.

It's so dishonest when people advertise their rentals in this manner and rely on the fact that most people don't know the area well enough to get it until they arrive and it's too late.
Reminds me of the time we came down for a BCC meeting and our house was rented. We rented a condo in Seacrest. The VRBO said it had a beautiful view. Well, the view was nice if you left your room and went up to the third floor balcony. The condo we rented had one window that opened onto the hallway. So all we could see was a stucco wall and people walking by. So we had to keep the black-out curtains closed 24/7 for privacy. It was like being in a cave. We had rented the place for a couple of days. We left the next morning (after the meeting). We decided we've rather lose the rental money than be claustrophobic for a couple of days.

Shell Seekers Court
Its on shell seekers court.....south on 393....east on 30a (about .2 miles) south onto shell seekers. I believe its a little subdivision called Seaside...but definitly in Santa Rosa Beach area.
Am not sure how big/small the area is...could just be a handful of houses.
THANKS!!

Hwy 393 is the eastern boundary of Gulf Place. It intersects 30-a right at Ed Walline park...
I thought all of 30-a had a mailing address of Santa Rosa Beach except for the eastern tip which is PCB.

Sounds like Sunrise Beach.

That sounds like it. I would say that is a great development. Maybe 5+ miles from Seaside. Would guess mostly short term rentals though.

Our home has a name. Recently someone built a lower-end house in the same area and gave it the same name. I tried to reason with the owners and Beach Rentals of South Walton that if someone googled their house and saw a link to our home and rates, they wouldn't rent their house with the same name because our rates are much higher than their rates due to our amenities. BRSW washed their hands of the matter, and apparently the owner refused to change the name of their rental house.
A lot of misrepresentation exists for online representations of rentals. I feel sorry for first-time renters in SoWal.

this street is just east of Sunrise Beach..newer houses, I believe there are two very new ones that recently were listed as long term rentals.
Certainly not Seaside, but it is a nice area. Maybe this is it? It is huge 5 bedrms and it is for rent. It has a nice view from the 2nd floor living room as I remember, and a good view from one bedroom.

It is not uncommon for neighborhoods to describe themselves as having "Seaside-style" homes - with the white picket fences, metal roofs and cottage-style homes. It is usually clear what they mean. Sunrise Beach homes fit this description.
It may be that this home was represented that way and the renter just read it wrong.
Then again, I have seen some advertised that the owners were clearly trying to make people think it was Seaside.

yes that is the area...vrbo.com advertises this area as Seaside,however withint the Santa Rosa Search....different searchfo Seaside Beach Area

I believe you will enjoy this location. Within walking distance of several places to eat, artist shops and 100 feet off the beach or less. Nice walking trails right on 30-A.

The information in the vrbo is misleading. But this does look like a very nice house and Ash is right in that most would consider it a desirable location unless you wanted closer to Seaside.

In looking at the VRBO site, their location field in the rental description is obviously used for search tags. They have all the following listed:
Seaside, Santa Rosa Beach, Beaches of South Walton, Florida North West, Florida, USA (Blue Mountain Beach, Seaside, Santa Rosa Beach)
It's the same for every listing on that page. They're just trying to get you to the area. The actual description doesn't misrepresent it at all...

But it sure doesn't help anyone know where it is at.
In researching vacation rentals I have found Beachseekers.com to be very helpful in their descriptions, locations and info given along with maps. They have one of the best websites for 30-A rentals that I have used.
We have never rented through them but certainly appreciate how detailed they are!

I think it's just the VRBO tags, and I have seen ads for "Seaside-Style" properties, but folks should be very careful not to call themselves Seaside, unless they actually are in Seaside. The name is trademarked, and unless things have changed since I worked out there, SCDC is very protective of it.

Unfortunately, many owners take too many liberties on VRBO.
To witness a good example of this, click Florida, Beaches of South Walton and then Rosemary Beach. Now, you would think you are now viewing vacation listings in RB but you begin to see phrases like "adjacent to", "near", etc. So, if you are a prospective renter and wish to find vac. rentals in RB, you have to weed thru the list that includes the others. I experienced the same problem looking for a home to rent in Santa Barbara. I wanted to be downtown and you guessed it: near downtown, close to downtown, minutes to downtown, five miles to downtown. I have stopped using VRBO because of this problem.
HomeAway is much better organized. For example, as I drilled into the Santa Barbara listings, there was a radio button for area desired including downtown. There were only a couple of listings but at least it was better organized. HomeAway is smaller but I think it will grow.
FWIW, I now avoid any vacation property that charges a check-in fee, check-out fee, reservation fee, trouble maker fee and/or admin. fee. It is really annoying.
