About this property

Near Seaside! Super Clean Totally Updated Petite Retreat! Easy Beach Access!

Come stay at completely renovated Petite Retreat! Our contemporary-style one-bedroom condo on the north side of county road 30-A is only 250 yards from the beach access and 1.2 miles from world-famous Seaside.
And we've gone soft, or at least softer. After a lot of comments a couple of years ago that our bedroom queen mattress was too firm, we replaced it with a Beautyrest Plush that seems to be comfortable for a lot more sleepers. Please let us know what you like, and don't, about our Petite Retreat. We're always looking to improve your beach experience.
We've painted Petite Retreat a soothing light blue, to put you in that beach mood as soon as you walk in the door. The completely remodeled kitchen features Shaker-style cabinets, quartz countertops, and top-end stainless steel appliances, including a GE ceramic cooktop stove and over-the-range microwave. The KitchenAid dishwasher is so quiet you'll wonder whether it's on!
We've installed new flooring, including new tile in the completely updated bathroom, and several wall outlets in the living/dining/kitchen areas have USB charging ports for your convenience. There's one in the bedroom too.
The updated bedroom has a contemporary look with a cozy feel. We've added a 32-inch widescreen smart TV so you can stream your favorite shows and videos.
We offer a 5% discount off daily/weekly rental rates for returning guests, and a discount for all rentals of a week or more. Sorry, no monthly or other long-term rentals.
Petite Retreat is located in the well-maintained Beachwood Villas community in Seagrove Beach. It features two swimming pools, two tennis/pickleball courts, beautifully landscaped courtyards and shuffleboard courts.
The smaller of two community pools is heated in early spring and Thanksgiving week. Actual dates may vary yearly.
Several restaurants, including the highly-rated Café 30A, are within easy walking distance, as are bike and beach rental shops.
Our unit is professionally cleaned by one of the oldest and largest property management firms in the area. Benchmark/GRS says it has instituted enhanced cleaning procedures, including disinfecting all high-touch areas. We urge guests to bring hand sanitizer and disinfectant wipes to use during their stay.
Condo features queen bed, Crate and Barrel queen sleeper sofa, 48-inch Samsung Smart HDTV and free, fast Wi-Fi up to 1GB. There's also a Samsung Blu-ray player.
This second-floor unit has a spacious balcony with a table with four chairs.
Three-night minimum rentals preferred; a limited number of two-night rentals accepted, depending on availability. Minimum age to rent is 25.
We've relaxed our cancellation policy. You get a full refund if you cancel at least 30 days before arrival, and a 50% refund if you cancel 14 to 30 days before arrival. There's a $150 service fee for cancellations less than 30 days before arrival. No refunds for cancellations less than 14 days before arrival.

30A fun

We loved the place! Peter, the owner, was fantastic!!! The management company was not! There was a problem with a water pipe so we were without water for the night. That was not a problem. Things like that happen. The problem was little to no communication from the management company. They never informed us about what was going on. They never told us the water was back on and never informed us of the need to boil water for 48 hours. Luckily Peter was great at keeping us informed.

Perfect spot

The location was great! We walked to the convenience store each day for ice and snacks and then straight to the beach boardwalk. The place was clean and had plenty of space for my friend and I. One of us slept in the bed and the other on the couch and we were both comfortable. Any questions I had were answered promptly. I would stay here again!

Mother/Daughter Getaway

My daughter turned 16 this week and we loved staying here! We walked right across the street to the beach for an early morning walk, swimming and tanning mid day and then again for the evening and sunset! Loved making food at condo to save on meals but then could splurge at many different local restaurants. It was perfect for us.

Great place!

The condo was very clean when we arrived and it was a great size for 2 adults. We appreciated the full kitchen since we cooked in a couple nights. Right across the street from the beach though you can’t use the closest beach access as its private. The public beach is about an 8 minute walk but not bad. It was also convenient being right next to the Tom Thumb!

Summer Trip

My family and I stayed here for several days leading up to July 4th. The condo was very clean and comfortable. Check in was easy and we had everything we needed. The condo is close to shopping/dinning and the beach access is right across the street, with easy access to the "public beach area" We will definitely look to stay here again in the future.

Updated”ish”

They did the best they could with what they had. No washer or dryer at the unit we stayed in, but there was at the facilities main property. The pool was disgusting. A line of yucky film surrounded the pool. Shower did not work at the pool either. Wish the bed was a king. Great location to the public beach access and having a convenience store on the corner was a plus too.

Weekend in Seagrove

This is the second time my girlfriend and I stayed at this property. We love the location and the fact that it’s a second floor condo. It is always quiet, but this year things were especially quiet. We arrived as all the spring break crowd was leaving. We enjoy the kitchen and always cook at least one meal. The balcony is great for eating and just relaxing. Beach access is simple and about a 2-3 minute walk from the room. My only complaint is that the air conditioning filter had not been changed since last April. There were no replacements, so I bought one at the Water Color Publix. Overall, a good choice for a weekend at the beach.
