Gulf Front on the Beach - Sun, sand, and water will be your view from every room
This is a single family home with a 2-car garage on the ground level, open concept Kitchen/Dining room with 1/2 bath on the second level, and 3 bedrooms / 2 bathrooms on the 3rd level. The Master has a King Bed with attached bath; 2nd bedroom has 1 Queen and 1 Twin Bed, and 3rd Bedroom has 1 Queen bed. The two guest bedrooms share a separate bath on the same level with both a tub and shower. All three bedrooms have views of the Gulf. The exterior decks on all 3 levels provide outdoor living at it's best. Enjoy morning coffee on the deck just outside the master suite, soak up the sun on the cushioned lounge chairs on the private beach just off the bottom level deck and enjoy a BBQ & social gatherings during sunset on the second level deck. The powder white sand and blue green waters of the Gulf just outside the back door are what dreams are made of. At night the wood burning fire pit on the beach is perfect for a gathering of family and friends while the moon dances on the water just steps from the back door. It is located in a gated community which provides privacy and tranquility yet is close to many wonderful restaurants and activities.

Another wonderful stay at our favorite beach house in Indian Shores. Comfortable beds, fully stocked kitchen and laundry area, amazing bathrooms, but best of all, beautiful beach access and jaw dropping sunsets every night. Laurel Enloe is a dream to work with. Stay here, you won’t be sorry!
My family had another enjoyable vacation at Sea La Vie. The house is spacious and meticulously clean. The location, right on the beach, can’t be beat. And the decks looking out over the ocean are spectacular. We hope to return next year.
The property was as beautiful as promised. We loved the private beach and enjoyed our fires by the ocean. Plenty of amenities that met all of our families needs. Would highly recommend!
The location, amenities and overall hosting of this place will have us coming back yearly. It’s a perfect place for any beach going family! Thank you to the owner - she was amazing to deal with!
This was the second year in a row at Sea La Vie for our family of 7. Everything from the location to every single accommodation of this house is outstanding. Spacious, clean and comfortable. Sunsets continue to be highlight of our days. We love spending family time here during our summers. Looking forward to future visits.
The property was one of the most well appointed and maintained that we have stayed in over many years of gulf beach vacations. I would definitely stay here again.
Absolutely loved our stay at Laurel’s beach home. This house was stocked with everything we could need to enjoy our stay and have a great time! Laurel has done a great job at putting much thought into the place! Really enjoyed having a closed in garage as well along with having a fridge in there for our easy grab and go beach drinks. The view was excellent as well. We enjoyed using the fire pit one evening for making s’mores along with utilizing the baggo board for a fun family evening. Will definitely book this home again!
We spent a week here with our 4 and 6 year old. It was WONDERFUL. The house is awesome, well appointed and you can NOT beat the view. We hope to back again!
Absolutely perfect spot on the beach. It took my son 37 seconds to run from the backyard area to the water. We had the luxury of sitting under the porch, the top balcony or at the dining table in the AC to watch dolphins. The beds are super soft, in fact I’m buying the same bedding for my home. The house is stocked with anything you need and minutes from great food. The sunsets are beyond beautiful and even rainy days are worth watching. We are already checking the calendar to book again!
This was our fourth vacation at Sea La Vie. We keep coming back for the spacious home, fantastic view and gracious host. Sitting on the deck overlooking the beach is truly remarkable. We’ll be back. Thanks again Laurel!
Wonderful place to stay directly on the beach. Everything was just perfect. Communication with the property owner was great. Would definitely stay here again.
By far the best property my family has stayed at over the past couple years. The house was extremely clean, kitchen had all the necessities needed, close to restaurants and shopping. Laurel was very responsive when we wanted to add an additional guest and she checked in to make sure we settled in and didn’t have any questions after we arrived. Would highly recommend!
This property was as good as we could have hoped. The location was excellent! Amazing views all day long. Seeing the sunset every night on the water was such a treat.
Everything went smoothly and our whole family had a fun and relaxing vacation.
This house was amazing! We will definitely be back! We have stayed in quite a few homes in Indian Shores and this one is by far our favorite. Laurel thought of everything! We were wishing we had stayed longer!
This is the third time we have stayed at Sea la Vie and there are so many reasons we keep returning! The house is just perfect, we love the covered porch as well as the outdoor areas and lounges. It’s great to have the fully stocked kitchen and the gas grill for easy meals. Everything we can think of is there to make our stay beyond compare. I loved the charming wooden mermaid puzzle! We hope to return again!

About the host
Hosted by Laurel Enloe
We purchased this property in October 2014. Two months were spent renovating and furnishing it with a goal of providing ourselves, and our guests, with a little bit of luxury and relaxation in a beautifully decorated space. We all deserve the best while on vacation. Sea La Vie --- our little piece of paradise we are happy to share with you.
Why they chose this property
We fell in love with this peaceful and serene strip of sand on the gulf coast which also has several fun spots nearby to be social and meet new people. The sand is pristine, the water warm, blue, and beautiful. The privacy of the beach makes this the perfect spot for relaxation.
What makes this property unique
The thing we enjoy the most are the Views! The home has unobstructed ocean views from almost every room including the main living area, master bedroom, and guest bedrooms. Guests will enjoy high quality bedding, remodeled bathrooms, new washer and dryer, top of the line outdoor furniture, and fire pit for outdoor living at it's finest! Each of the 3 balconies provides special moments. Morning coffee on the rocking chairs outside the master suite is delightful. BBQ's, social gatherings, and sunsets on the second level deck are spectacular. Our favorite spot however is our own private beach on the ground level. We have cushioned lounge chairs to soak up the sun during the day and Adirondack chairs circling a wood burning fire pit on the beach during the evenings. We hope our guests enjoy it like we do... Sea La Vie -- throw your cares to the sea...and enjoy! Laurel & Dirk Enloe
