We've stayed at Beachside for the last two years, and loved it. We stayed last August (after all the storms, except Katrina), and the beach wasn't too bad. If you didn't look back at the dunes, you wouldn't know anything had happened. (well, that, and the bulldozers we had to dodge, but I'm sure they're finished now!).
That section of the beach was generally quiet, although it could have been the time of year that we were there.
We have always enjoyed our stay at Beachside, and had very nice, clean accomodations, but we met some people last year who said that their condo was run down and dirty. You're going to run in to that anywhere, though, with individually owned units that are managed by different companies.
Our first year at Beachside, there was an armadillo living in the dunes, but he's probably not there anymore after the storms.
Have a great trip!

Thanks so much for your reply! I am glad to know that you have always had a great experience with your condo! We are very excited and we were told the condo has just been redone so it should be in pretty good condition. I can't wait to come and enjoy our first taste of Seagrove heaven!

Hi...we've actually stayed in Unit 21 ourselves two summers ago. We had our 6 month old with us and actually gave him the bedroom. We slept on the pull-out sofa in the living room. (closer to the ocean :)) The condo is very cute. The bedroom could is the only "plain" room. The rest of the condo is adorable.

Have fun!

Hey there Beach fanatics! Our family (me, hubby and three year old daughter) just booked our upcoming SoWal vacation and will be hitting the sands April 15th - just in time for Easter. Has anyone stayed at the Beachside Condos before? Our condo looks cute online but I was wondering how they are in person. Also, for all of you parents out there that have visited, could you post some of your favorite(s) activities/restaurants that might be a hit with our family! I live in San Antonio, Texas, ever been? It's a great city but the Texas beaches are a JOKE! Our drive will be about 12 hours but I'd drive double that to see white sands and clear water again!

I can't wait to get there - we soooooooooo need a vacation!
If you plan to take a stroll through Rosemary Beach, take your daughter to Gigi's for shopping and The Sugar Shack for a treat or snack. Not really spectacular to the big people but the little one love it. A nice break if you want to give her a change from the beach without going too far. Have a great time!

Another nice ice cream shop that our kids love is the Carvel ice cream place at the Villages of South Walton near Rosemary Beach. They also have fantastic desserts (sandwiches, too, but I haven't had one yet). It is very comfortable with plenty of seating indoors and outdoors. We love it and always go there when we're in the area.
