Seaside - Angel in the Dunes

Our calendar is updated in real-time & our nightly rates are accurately displayed. Simply enter your desired dates and click 'Book Now!'

Surprise your special someone with an escape to this charming carriage home located in the famous Seaside community. Featuring shared pools (available for a fee), easy beach access, and all the amenities of home, your stay promises to be hassle-free so you can spend your time exploring!

Located just a short walk from the picturesque shores of Florida's white sand beach, you'll be less than two miles from Grayton Beach State Park, and a little less than 30 miles from Panama City Beach. Take scenic Highway 30A for a fun day trip, or stay right here and relax on the beach.

Just past the Adirondack chairs on the porch, the main living area greets you with refreshing central A/C and rich hardwood floors. Cuddle up on the love seat while you watch your favorite cable show on the flatscreen TV. Bring your favorite DVD and dive into a bowl of hot buttered popcorn to have an in-house movie date.

Whip up a delicious cocktail while the private washer/dryer does the laundry. Kick back on the patio while you sip your drink and connect to the WiFi to book a reservation at a local restaurant.

Listen to some music on the stereo while you get to work on something tasty in the compact kitchenette. Featuring a microwave, coffee maker, and mini fridge, making a few small bites or heating up some leftovers will be a piece of cake. You'll also have the chance to show off your grilling skills on the charcoal grill.

This one-bedroom, one-bathroom home is perfect for two people to enjoy a romantic escape (the maximum occupancy is three guests, with two adults at most). In the bedroom on the upper level, you'll be treated to a queen-size bed, direct access to a balcony, and a small sitting area. In the bathroom, there is a shower/tub combo and a modern vanity area.

Take your morning cup of coffee and a light breakfast out onto the balcony and enjoy the sweet sea breeze. Get all your beach gear ready for a fun-filled day on the sand. Stroll along the shore, or book a trip out onto the high seas to explore the local marine life with a scuba diving excursion.

Walk down the street to Central Square and wander through the charming shops to find the perfect souvenir to remember your trip. Head over to Grayton Beach State Park and rent a kayak to paddle through the waters and snap a few shots of the lush landscape. Treat your special someone to a fun-filled night out at the quirky Red Bar.

If you're looking for a stress-free getaway for just the two of you (or the two of you and the dog!), then look no further than this inviting Florida cottage.

The worst VRBO experience I have ever had

The home was so filthy that my daughter and I could not stay there. A Vacasa representative named Deb called me after viewing pictures of the stains and absolute filth and said they would refund me and asked if I would send my invoice for the hotel we had to stay in. I sent it and then was told by a text service that I would be refunded but not compensated for our hotel. Not only are they lying online to potential clients, they are also lying over the phone to current clients. Not only is this home unclean, it is unsafe due to the mold all over bathroom ceiling, questionable stains on couch, chair, fabric headboard and bed skirt. No cleaning crew came like the Vacasa Rep assured. We were forced to leave and had to pay for a hotel. Only one room was left in the whole area and we had to stay in 2 different rooms, for 2 different nights, forcing us to pack up every day and wait for another possible room. This was the worst VRBO experience I have ever had.

The place is adorable and convenient to the town. Could use a little updating with the downstairs furniture and some repairs on a few of the blinds. This was our second time there and would definitely stay again.

In need of repair

Upon arrival on Sunday evening the downstairs air cond. was broke , didn’t want to bother on a Sunday evening, so we contacted the manger on Monday morning , and repairs was scheduled that day , advised them to call us since our pet was in the home when they was coming , as late evening came we was still advised they was coming Monday for service, so all day Monday was spent staying around seaside so we could get back in short notice, it was a no show , they advised on Tuesday they was coming and we had done made plans to be in destin and I advised just to forget about repairing cause we was going to leave a day early and that was Wednesday morning early ,then when we came back from destin we walked in the home to find a young man installing a portable air cond. downstairs , he was very nice and polite but they was advised to let us know so we could be there with our pet, the place was very disappointing for seaside, when I booked I seen a/c repair was back several months but kinda figured it was repaired, blinds on doors was a wreck , bathroom ceiling had mold on it , location is the only thing going for it, we feel like we wasted Monday waiting on the repairs, and we decide to leave early , sorry but this location will never be a option for us , house is in desperate need of some repair,

Great location for those that are minimalists

Couldn’t ask for a better location than this house…just a few blocks from main Seaside area and 100 yards to the beach entrance. Inside the house be prepared to have some fairly subpar amenities that can be hit or miss on working properly. If you and your significant other don’t need much or plan to spend a minimal amount of time at the house this place is for you.

Perfect Location

This is a precious little hideaway and the location could not be better. The homeowners really do need to address the mold in the bathroom as it was over the entire bathroom ceiling and floor around the bathtub. Other than the mold issue it is a perfect little getaway minutes from the beach and Seaside Square!

Perfect little place

I brought my teenaged daughter and her friend and had a wonderful time!! It worked out very well for us. The place was lovely and the perfect little size for us. The deck was very enjoyable upstairs and downstairs. The bathroom gets very humid so we opened the windows and door. The water was nice and warm, actually hot after a few minutes. Be careful with that. We also had a cooler outside the front door for more drinks. We would definitely recommend this place!!! We really enjoyed staying there

A wonderful stay steps away from the beach! Perfect location in Seaside, with the sounds of the waves, close enough to all the action, but far enough to feel secluded and relaxed!
