Nice home in great location, very relaxing

House was well equipped and perfect for our family vacation. Kitchen stocked well with everything to cook. Master needs a new mattress, deep dip in bed. Other bedrooms excellent, porches awesome. Cant see the ocean but can hear it. Quick walk to beach 2-3 mins, boardwalk close. Communication was not stellar with Vacasa. Using Vacasa was the most unpleasant part of the experience. Texts, emails, and app messages just too many places to communicate and receive information and not get answered. If you are the homeowner, go with a different company. Vacasa is subpar!

Nice home base for our family.

Nice beach house as expected. Clean and functional. Kitchen is well stocked with cookware and utensils. Remember to bring cooking oil and spices if you are planning to cook. Also foil or plastic wrap if you use them. Towels were fluffy and clean. The mattress in master bedroom may be lacking support. It is very soft but not lumpy. Nice area. Had a little trouble locating the correct house at arrival. Short walk to the beach to watch the sunrise and sunset. Make sure you visit the Indian Pass Trading Post for oysters!

Great Vacation get away!

This was our first time to vacation in this area! This property was so close to the beach, less than a 3 minute walk. The porches were great, you could hear the ocean! I would recommend you stop at the grocery store in Port St. Joe before heading to the property, there is no where to shop in Indian Pass, we loved it and will definitely be back!

Pet Friendly was a +, but outside grounds and area around under construction still

This place needs new mattress and major updating of interior to be running with the best of the surrounding places in the forgotten coast. Currently, the outside grounds needs care and surrounding neighboring areas are under construction and other need to start clean from the past hurricane Matthew of 2018 and/or other storms. Cleaners do provide a clean and fresh place to stay. Towel and linens very white with and soft, fresh laundry smell. Areas well swept and mopped. For us, it was a good last minute deal. Make the best out of your vacation.

Checked all the boxes

We were looking for a Florida getaway without the crowds. Indian Pass/Port St Joe is the place. This home was one house in from the beach in a cute, quiet neighborhood. The house was great and we spent most of our house time outside on the screen porch. You will find white sugar sand on the beach and miles to walk. Plenty of birds to entertain and we even saw a whitetail deer sleeping in the backyard.

Great house but time to replace king

We loved our time at Seaside Searenity. The house was clean, the kitchen was well equipped and the location was fabulous. However, the mattress on the king sized bed needs to be replaced. There are very deep, distinct impressions on each side. Getting in and out of bed felt like a sitcom bit.

Great for our needs!

The house is clean and well stocked (other than not having the mixer, only the mixing spoons). Very close walk to the beach too! The screened porch was very nice! My only warning would be about the construction. There is a house being built/rebuilt right across the street as well as next door and at the entrance to the beach at the end of the road. We were woken up each morning by 8 with beeping trucks, hammering, air compressors, etc. The house at the end of the road frequently had work trucks blocking the end of the road so you had to walk through the brush on the side of the road to get to the beach because there was no room to walk. As we were leaving, the guys arrived to install ceiling fans in the screened porch, so that will be a nice addition! I would not hesitate to stay here again.

Yes the crabs are real.

We had a great stay. House was clean, short walk to beach, and dog friendly. Lots of wildlife. Birds, crabs, fish, turtles. I had a young woman with a child if a crab we were looking at was real. Yup they are real and can get a little testy when you bother them. Overall great place for rest and relaxation. I will be back.

Great week

Our family had the best time. Great location with a short walk to beach. Only recommendation would be to possibly add a ceiling fan to covered screen porch (it was awesome, we spent most of our time there). And not something that the property could do anything about but bring citronella candles or spray because there are things called yellow flies that will eat you up.
