About this property

5 BR, 5 BA in Seaside, quick walk to the private beach access or main pool

Situated just north of the town square and in the heart of Seaside, Mint 4 Fun, with 5 bedrooms, 5 baths and an enclosed tower room with balcony is definitely MEANT FOR FUN!

MInt 4 Fun has large, covered porches on the main floor and second floor. The second floor porch has private entrances from 2 separate bedrooms. All bedrooms have en suite baths.

A tower room with open balcony on the fourth level affords nice views of the gulf and all of Seaside and is a fantastic place to enjoy the sunset or your morning coffee.
The design of this home is architecturally unique.
From the bunk room with a spacious hideaway loft, the 30' cathedral ceilings in the living room, and the close proximity to all the Seaside amenities, you will be amazed with this property!

Mint 4 Fun is just a few steps from the west-end pool and only a couple blocks to the private Pensacola beach pavilion.
We have a large wagon, a rolling cooler, some beach chairs and beach toys for your use.
The Seaside chapel, playground, fitness center, and 3 community pools are all close by (Seaside charges a fee to use the pools, fitness and tennis amenities. This fee is optional and not included in the rent).

The fully stocked kitchen has granite countertops, glass tile backsplash, stainless appliances and all the "tools" you will need for those days you want to cook at home.

There are hardwood floors throughout the house and custom wood shutters for every window.

Of course the powdery white sand and crystal clear ocean is what brings you here, but other highlights of staying in Seaside that you will enjoy are shopping in the many quaint shops, eating at the award winning restaurants, bike riding through town, strolling down the hidden paths or relaxing on the outdoor porches enjoying the fragrant sea air and warm breezes.

New Years Family Vacy

The 5/5 house was a short walk to the town square and the beach. The weather was perfect and we enjoyed outdoor activities. Sand volleyball, pickleball, reading on the beach and riding bikes. We rented bikes from 30ARentals, they delivered within an hour of my phone call and picked them up after our departure. It was nice to have a bathroom with every bedroom. The kitchen was well stocked, we grilled and cooked several meals. All the restaurants in town were open so we ate out several times as well. The house was quite a bit older than what we are used to having and was in the process of getting a fresh coat of paint. Upon arrival there were ladders and equipment around but upon our request Christie had them moved to the back of the house. The bathrooms were all very tiny with mold in the grout and some tiles missing. The sheets, pillows and towels need to be updated. A rental in this price range justify higher quality linens. We loved rocking on the front porch and playing games in the dining nook. There were 10 of us ranging in age from 12-70. We had a great time together in Seaside. Maybe we are spoiled but will not stay here again due to so many repairs that need to be done on this property.

Great sept beach weekend

Christie’s place was excellent and perfect for our group of 6 kids under 6 and 6 adults! Great host communication. Location Close to the town center and beach.

Family 5 kids, Thanksgiving 2023

You, reader, probably already know this, but Seaside is a the best vacation town in America. In 1946 the US bet everything on a car-centered lifestyle and we've been suffering from it since. Seaside is a real, bikes-and-pedestrians-first town on the ocean. You walk from your house to coffee, to the bookstore, the post office, back home, ride your bike around exploring, get some groceries, cook at home, bike to the beach, walk over to ice cream, and bike back home and go to bed tired. You have your car too, but you don't need it most days. I enjoy the Seaside beach in November (much fewer people than summer). The community beach gate/pavilions feel like a private access just for your family with a beach bathroom and architectural steps over the dunes. Property review: I liked 1. personal attention by hostess 2. House art 3. Cleanliness 4. Bed comfort 5. The location being away from the busy Seaside center, but only 0.1 miles to walk there

Loved our stay at Mint 4 Fun!!

It was so good to be back in Seaside and Mint 4 Fun was the perfect place for the family! It was beautiful online, but even better in person—very clean and met every one of our needs. We loved the tower area and the porch swing on the second floor. Great location, too—far enough away from the main area but a quick and easy walk to everything. And Christie was awesome and so quick to respond when we had questions! We really felt at home. Thanks so much for sharing your place with us!! Would highly recommend this home and hope to return some day!!

Our favorite seaside stay

This is my families 5th summer renting in Seaside. We have been renting different houses each year as we haven’t found the perfect one, until now! This property is in a great location to town and only a few extra steps to the beach! We loved the space the house offered in the common areas and a fun side porch to enjoy the summer night. The best thing about the house was all of the “extras” - beach toys, wagon, floats, beach chairs, umbrellas! You name it Christie had it. We really loved this spot and we’ll be back for sure!

Great Seaside Escape

Mint 4 Fun is a fantastic house on Forest St in Seaside, FL. It is well suited to large families, or two families. It is a short stroll to the Pensacola beach pavilion and the Seaside shops and restaurants. Christie made the process easy and was helpful with sending links for beach chair reservations, bike rentals etc. We'll come back!

About the host

Hosted by Christie Croes Derrick

Host profile image
Hello from the Derricks of Atlanta, GA
We have been renting out Mint 4 Fun and our other vacation properties in the 30A area for 15 years and are very knowledgeable about the beautiful 30A community and award winning Seaside.
We will do everything we can to make sure you, your family, and friends make some wonderful vacation memories while staying in our home and we feel sure you will want to return every year!

Why they chose this property

Owning in such a unique and special community has been so amazing and we love sharing Mint 4 Fun with others when we are unable to stay here.
Park your car and enjoy spending the week riding bikes or walking everywhere - Seaside has everything you need!
I can't wait to share with you my recommendations for favorite restaurants, shopping, happy hours, bike rentals etc.

What makes this property unique

There's no bad location in Seaside, but we especially love where Mint 4 Fun is located because we are so close to all the amenities Seaside is famous for.
The Seaside square with all the fabulous shopping and restaurants is a short stroll from our house.

The main west pool is just steps away and the other 2 pools - the Family pool (covered) and Adult pool - are also on our street. The fitness center, tennis courts, playground, basketball court and Seaside Chapel are also right down the street (Seaside charges an optional fee to use the pools, fitness, and tennis facilities).

The private Pensacola beach pavilion is only 2 blocks from our house and we have a large wagon, a rolling cooler and some beach chairs and beach toys at the house for your use.

There is a bike path that you can access right behind our house that leads you into the Watercolor community if you want to explore in there too.

With all these amenities being so close and Publix grocery store being an easy bike ride from our house, you will likely not need your car during your entire vacation!
