Beachfront rentals-condo or townhouse advice

[jbucher]

Hi,
After getting great advice about best beaches in SoWal and pouring through all the available rentals, I've not found a beachfront house suitable for just 5 people....most are too big or out dated. We have no problem with a condo or townhouse...we've always stayed at Sandestin resorts....just too big and crowded. A pool would be nice too. Any of the SoWal beaches are fine. Any advice is welcome.
Thanks !

Hi jbucher,

You're right, this board is a wealth of information and assistance! I have a friend that has a wonderful beach front townhouse, at Inlet Beach. It borders the Reserve and is very private and peaceful! Check it out and please tell her, that Diane referred ya! She also has a great North GA getaway, for mountain enthusiasts! That property may also be accessed, on this link. I'm not sure when you're needing a place and she stays pretty booked, but, it would be worth a try! http://www.vrbo.com/12990

Good luck,
Diane

You might check out Sea Bluff Condominiums on Blue Mt. Beach. I don't know if the are large enough for your group or not but they are two bedroon, two bath units most with a sleeper couch downstairs along with a quarter bath. They are nicely furnished but are older townhouses. Sea Bluff is on the highest point on the beach between Appalachicola and Pensacola so the walk to the beach is down a tall walkover (69 steps) but the beach is, as all SoWal beaches, beautiful. If you need more information most of the units are handled by Dune Allen Realty or PM me and I will respond.

When I want some quiet beach time (away from my Sandestin house), I retreat to my 3br/3ba condo in Santa Rosa Beach. It is on Rivard's rental program. I think you would be happy with it because it is ground level (with a great view) and feels like a house inside.

Watersound Beach is a wonderful spot if you are looking for a deluxe type of place on a very quiet stretch of beach. There are condos at The Crossing and townhomes/condos at The Bridges. The majority of the units have amazing views, but some of the first floor ones can be blocked by shrubbery, so be aware of that. Several owners rent out directly through VRBO or you can contact the in house rental agency at http://www.watersoundvacations.com

Good luck!

There's a small beachfront house near the Ramsgate walkover called Beach Baby. Google "Beach Baby Seagrove" and you'll find it listed on www.beachrentalsofsouthwalton.com. I haven't been inside of it, but it seems quite popular. It's got a full-width screen porch facing the gulf at dune level that I'd love to have.

Beach baby is an older rental, but the owners have kept the inside very updated. I think kurt got pics of the back porch when he took the most recent Seagrove Beach pics.

We have stayed in Sunrise beach for the
past several years and love it! After staying
in most areas up and down the coast, we
will probably never stay any place else.
The neighborhood is on the beach side of 30-A,
and most houses have private pools. One
small house we stayed in that is probably
my favorite is Beach Music. Not beachfront,
but only steps to the beach. Having the nice
private pool and privacy of a house makes
all the difference. The price is good too!
Just FYI. Good luck! We will be in Greek
Treat in June.
