This property is being offered to rent by Beaches of South Walton Vacations - a rental management company managing vacation rentals in Seagrove Beach Florida for 17 years. After your Reservation Request is accepted your dates will be secure, and you will receive a call closer to your arrival date. The person that pays for the reservation is also required to sign and return a Reservation Confirmation form that will be emailed after we speak to that person over the telephone closer to the arrival date.

A damage deposit is not charged in advance, and it is not required to purchase Damage Protection Insurance that would cost extra, however, it is required that a valid MasterCard or Visa card be held at the Beaches of South Walton Vacations rental management office to have for any damage should it occur during your stay at the property. This is required even if you choose to purchase Damage Protection Insurance that is offered to you from the Vrbo advertising site. The actual physical card is not needed.

Full payment is required when booking through the Vrbo advertising site. You can elect to buy travel insurance. If you do not buy travel insurance through the Vrbo advertising site, the phone number and Website to the travel insurance company can be provided to you later if you would like. Please keep in mind that the insurance company might not sell insurance within 30 days of an arrival date. You will need to check with them about that and for pricing. If you buy travel insurance, the insurance company can sometimes reimburse you for monies lost should you need to cancel for an emergency within 60 days of the arrival date.

This home is nestled among the live oaks of old Seagrove steps from the brick paved roads of Seaside Florida Beach Resort. This cottage is perfect for a small family or a romantic getaway for two. Connecting to the master bedroom on second floor is a large screened-in porch. Start your day in this wonderful outdoor room while eating morning breakfast at the table and chairs provided for this special place. At the end of the day return to this wonderful sanctuary to relax and reflect on the memories created for the day - your fun time at the beach, biking together on the paved bike path or through quiet pine forests, or relive your shopping excursion where you found new cherished treasures.

The name of this property is Summer Shade. Summer Shade is a small, 1,050 square foot cottage in old Seagrove Beach that has about a 185 square foot screened porch on second floor. The home has a queen bed in the master bedroom on second floor and two very small bedrooms on first floor that have full-size/double beds. The home is not updated as some other homes in the area, but the home is only about a 6-minute walk to the beach access in Seagrove where you can set up your own chairs and umbrellas and is only about a 10-minute walk to the heart of Seaside Resort where there are restaurants and shopping. We feel the home is one of the best values in the Seagrove Beach area for a nice couples getaway or for a small family vacation.

A minimum age of 25 is required to rent and stay at the home. Children visiting with their parents are welcome. The maximum number of people that can occupy the home including adults and children is six. Wedding receptions or other type of large gatherings at the property beyond the maximum occupancy of the home are not allowed. We also do not rent to high school or college age groups that are vacationing together, and pets or smoking are not allowed at the property. There is parking for 2 vehicles.

Also, if you do not already know, you will not be able to access the beach through the Seaside Resort community. Those accesses are only for guests staying directly in that community. You can either set up your own beach chairs and umbrellas at the closest beach access that is between Dogwood and Thyme Street, otherwise, if you want to rent beach chairs and umbrellas, vendors can set up at the next beach access to the east of there at the Hickory Street beach access.

We have been in business since 2009, so you can feel confident when staying with us. If you have any questions about this property, please click Contact Host to reach Julie at Beaches of South Walton Vacations. I am happy to answer any questions you may have. Thank you!

Cute little house, amazing location!

great location

this house was in a supreme location and had everything I needed. there was an insane amount of construction going on that I wish I had known about prior as I would have looked for something quieter and unfortunately I wasn't able to enjoy it at all because I ended up admitted to the hospital. Having said all of that, the listing is super honest about the house being dated and I would have given it a higher rating if not for the black mold in the house which is obviously a concerning health hazard.

Location and price!!

Description accurately describes the house it is a tad outdated but the price reflects that. If you’re like us this wouldn’t affect your vacation in any way. It’s in the perfect location especially if you have children. It’s not right on the main road but very close to downtown seaside. You can bike from the house just to about anywhere within a few minutes. Can’t wait to go back next year!

30A on a budget

Was the location absolutely incredible? Yes. It’s walking distance from everything in Seaside. It’s toward the back of a street on a corner with great parking. My biggest complaint is cleanliness - the walls & floors were dirty (the bottoms of my feet were black after walking around barefoot) and the entire house was very dated and dark. If you just plan on sleeping here and not really spending time in the home, it’s serves its purpose.

Perfect Location

We loved our stay a Summer Shade. The home was exactly as stated in the profile. It reminded us of grandma's lake house from the 1990's. Cozy. The kitchen was well stocked and we prepared most of our meals there or used the Weber grill. My 18 year old son enjoyed having the ground floor to himself. My husband loved the second floor screened in porch. He relaxed and napped out there everyday. The house is very comfortable but I would recommend house slippers. The streets outside are sandy and that sands follows you in the house. The proximity to the beach and Seaside are the real stars of this home. It was less than a 5 minute walk to beach access. We walked to a couple of blocks to Seaside each morning for coffee and pastries at the market. Our evening walk through Seaside for cocktails or iced tea was perfect. Julie was extremely helpful and responsive. I would stay at Summer Shade again.

Perfect location!

The location of this house is perfect! Close to the seaside square and a couple blocks to the beach! The house itself was dated , which we knew ahead of time bc of the description. The beds were very comfortable and the downstairs shower water pressure could take paint off a house it was so hard, in a good way! The house was clean apon arrival. The couch and carpet were stained with spots, but was expected with the overall age of the house. The outside of the house was very overgrown, but didn’t affect our stay. Just a little tlc would go a long way! Overall, this house was perfect for us and could be amazing if someone took the time and money to update it. (It’s for sale 🤗) We would definitely recommend for someone that isn’t worried about having the “updated” atmosphere! It served its purpose for a perfect week for our family!

Summer Shade is SHADY! (NOT CLEAN)

We chose this rental for a girls weekend for the Seaside race.The location is great. The listing is up front about the property not being "Seaside" property and that was not a problem. Our problem was that the sheets had not been changed from the last guests. I spoke with the property manager and let her know. She called the cleaning company to check with them and they reported that they had actually done a deep clean that day. (They did NOT do a deep clean. Did she think they would admit to this?!) She basically told me that I was wrong and the sheets were clean. We took videos for proof that the sheets were dirty and also found that the showers were not clean either. I let her know we had no where to sleep as the sheets were clearly dirty and the couch is too small for us to sleep on. She said there was nothing she could do about it until the next day and there would be no refund of any kind. We called around and found somewhere else for us to stay. Once we got settled into the new place we decided not to return. I let the manager know we would not be returning. The right thing to do would have been to refund the first night since we could not stay and the cleaning fee but that did not happen. I do not recommend this property for these reasons. This problem could have been handled much better than it was.

Amazing Stay at Summer Shade!

We had an incredible experience here at Summer Shade. We had 4 adult guests and found that the place was ideal for our size of group. The place was equipped with everything we needed—washer, dryer, outdoor shower, two full size baths and plenty of parking! The place was very easy to find and the manager Julie was so communicative during the booking process. You are right on the edge of Seaside Resort, but you unfortunately won’t have access to their private beaches. However, the public beaches are just a few blocks away and we were able to find up close spots to lay out and enjoy the beach. The Seaside Town is just a stones throw away and extremely walkable, with incredible restaurants and shopping. This is a hidden gem and we hope to stay here again soon!

German Roaches

Area was beautiful! The inside needs updating but we knew that going into this property that’s why the price was on the low end. The thing that was disgusting was that I killed a few German roaches during my stay. This place needs to be treated before it becomes an infestation because with German roaches that will happen really quick.

Great location, but property was in sad shape.

Ms Julie the property manager was wonderful! She was very responsive to our emails, and quickly got on the ball to get things fixed! The house itself was in pitiful condition. The downstairs bathtub leaked all over the tile floor and the tile floor was even broken apart and buckled from previous leaks. The cleaning company prior to our stay had left many carpet stains and dirty floors, with lots of dust left on many pieces of furniture and blinds. House and kitchen was well equipped with needed items for a family stay. With a good cleaning and repairwork completed, this place will be great!
