Vacation Rental Gulf Front House 4+ Bedrooms

[familyoffour]

Oberger, you are right about the booking late. It's not our usual style but it is what it is. Unfortunately, our group wants July. Right now, our group is swaying toward Lollygag...our concern is distance from the beach and the lake water right in front of the house. Any thoughts on either of those two things?

I would appreciate any info on the distance from beach to house and the lake water swill out front. I know that it is from the lakes being opened to drain, but it just looks so large on the pictures, that it looks like it makes it a further than usual walk from the house to the beach. So any help on this would be great. My friends are wanting to book it today and I would like to find something closer if possible.

I couldn't send you a message but I wanted to say thank you so much for the property info, but they are already booked. I spoke with the owner earlier this week. The houses I think you are talking about with the pool (there's 3 in a row - Ill by Sea??? ) they are running 14,000 to 15,000 per week and that's way too much. We are splitting it 3 ways, but we've got people who aren't beach people but are wanting fine furnishings and it's been a hard combo to deal with at this late in the game. If you see anything, please let me know. We are also trying for July5th week or the week after.

Thanks again. I appreciate your help and enjoy your vacation, ladydebubb.

I cannot believe those places are that expensive. You are talking about the ones on Walton Magnolia Ln??? That is ridiculous. I cannot imagine anyone being able to afford those. But two times straight we have gone down there and the first yellow house which looks like it has 3 floors with the pool has had at least what looked like 14 people in it. Unbelievable.

Would you consider a 4 bedroom condo in a gulf-front smaller building? Seems like most of the gulf-front homes are pretty much booked this summer.

If so, you might want to check out Seagrove By The Sea which has some availability in the beginning of July through Beach Rentals of South Walton. You can also view all of the gulf-front properties the agency has on their website, if that helps.

Thank you so much for the referral. I would do a condo, but our friends won't. They do look nice, though, and I truly appreciate your help.

I will bookmark the site for future use.

If you are flexible with your dates, there is a 6 brm / 6 bath duplex (Heart of Seagrove) available from July 12-19. We are staying there in early June and received great recommendations. The duplex is directly on the south side of 30-A close to One Seagrove Place. There is one building between the duplex and the beach with a very short boardwalk to the beach (maybe 50 yards max). The owner's name is Kerry Silha (ksilha01@bellsouth.net). Here is a link to the property:

Lady...my friends stayed at the red house.(Illa Sea?) .can't remember if it's in the middle or not...but had the pool out front. They paid 12,900 + tax for it during Spring Break this year. They had four families there and a nanny so they rented the guest house along with it. Too rich for my blood, but they loved it and said it was so roomy (10 bedrooms) that they didn't even feel like (there were 9 Adults & 12 kids) they were on top of each other at all. Those three houses had availability in July too....I think the agency said they were giving a discount and it still came to 14,000 something. Thanks again for your help.

I'm not understanding your question about the lakewater- if you are talking about where Western Lake opens at Grayton Beach, there is no better place to vacation when you are with small children. This is the favorite spot for locals with children- if it is a yellow or red flag day for the Gulf, the lake outfall is easy and safe.

Lollygag is about a block to the boardwalk, then you are on the beach and pick your spot. Boardwalk has a shower.

Wow, that looks great. Is it gulf front? I only saw gulf-side and sometimes I am not sure what that means... My group is definitely looking for gulf front.

Thanks so much for your help. It is truly a beautiful rental.

I thought Lollygag was directly on the beach, am I wrong???? I was speaking about the water that is from the lake. From the pictures it looks like we have to walk through it to get to the beach/water. I am not familiar with what "boardwalk" you are speaking of. Are you saying we would have to walk a block to the boardwalk and then get on the beach instead of walking right out from the house?

Thanks and sorry to ask so many questions. I appreciate your help.

Oops- was thinking of Lollygag II- up the street.

Lollygag is right on the outflow- a few steps from the boardwalk that walks you around the outfall. It is a primo location! Total gulf view- nothing in front of you but the outfall and the Gulf.
