Seaside - Angel in the Dunes

Our calendar is updated in real-time & our nightly rates are accurately displayed. Simply enter your desired dates and click 'Book Now!'

Surprise your special someone with an escape to this charming carriage home located in the famous Seaside community. Featuring shared pools (available for a fee), easy beach access, and all the amenities of home, your stay promises to be hassle-free so you can spend your time exploring!

Located just a short walk from the picturesque shores of Florida's white sand beach, you'll be less than two miles from Grayton Beach State Park, and a little less than 30 miles from Panama City Beach. Take scenic Highway 30A for a fun day trip, or stay right here and relax on the beach.

Just past the Adirondack chairs on the porch, the main living area greets you with refreshing central A/C and rich hardwood floors. Cuddle up on the love seat while you watch your favorite cable show on the flatscreen TV. Bring your favorite DVD and dive into a bowl of hot buttered popcorn to have an in-house movie date.

Whip up a delicious cocktail while the private washer/dryer does the laundry. Kick back on the patio while you sip your drink and connect to the WiFi to book a reservation at a local restaurant.

Listen to some music on the stereo while you get to work on something tasty in the compact kitchenette. Featuring a microwave, coffee maker, and mini fridge, making a few small bites or heating up some leftovers will be a piece of cake. You'll also have the chance to show off your grilling skills on the charcoal grill.

This one-bedroom, one-bathroom home is perfect for two people to enjoy a romantic escape (the maximum occupancy is three guests, with two adults at most). In the bedroom on the upper level, you'll be treated to a queen-size bed, direct access to a balcony, and a small sitting area. In the bathroom, there is a shower/tub combo and a modern vanity area.

Take your morning cup of coffee and a light breakfast out onto the balcony and enjoy the sweet sea breeze. Get all your beach gear ready for a fun-filled day on the sand. Stroll along the shore, or book a trip out onto the high seas to explore the local marine life with a scuba diving excursion.

Walk down the street to Central Square and wander through the charming shops to find the perfect souvenir to remember your trip. Head over to Grayton Beach State Park and rent a kayak to paddle through the waters and snap a few shots of the lush landscape. Treat your special someone to a fun-filled night out at the quirky Red Bar.

If you're looking for a stress-free getaway for just the two of you (or the two of you and the dog!), then look no further than this inviting Florida cottage.

Blinds on several windows broken and missing slats. Ironing board bent and stained. Headboard of bed stained. There is room for a chest or at least a luggage stand but there is no place to put your bags but on the floor. Light fixture in bathroom falling off wall and lightbulb burned out. No extra blanket as the ac blows right on you all night. For the location i expect more.

Great location for those that are minimalists
Couldn’t ask for a better location than this house…just a few blocks from main Seaside area and 100 yards to the beach entrance. Inside the house be prepared to have some fairly subpar amenities that can be hit or miss on working properly. If you and your significant other don’t need much or plan to spend a minimal amount of time at the house this place is for you.

Beautiful Weekend
A wonderful stay steps away from the beach! Perfect location in Seaside, with the sounds of the waves, close enough to all the action, but far enough to feel secluded and relaxed!

Cutest stay!
Great stay for two, so close to beach and everything you need. It’s a back guest house but we felt super secluded and had our own little area. Would recommend to anyone.

Great location in Seaside and comfortable place to stay for a few days. Furniture and bedding could be updated, and AC was weak upstairs. We would stay here again though!

Perfect little place
I brought my teenaged daughter and her friend and had a wonderful time!! It worked out very well for us. The place was lovely and the perfect little size for us. The deck was very enjoyable upstairs and downstairs. The bathroom gets very humid so we opened the windows and door. The water was nice and warm, actually hot after a few minutes. Be careful with that. We also had a cooler outside the front door for more drinks. We would definitely recommend this place!!! We really enjoyed staying there

Great little place for 1-2 people
Was a nice comfy place. I couldn't get the stove to work and the AC was a little warm upstairs during the day, but I think it was because it was just so hot outside! But my wife and I loved our little getaway!

Small Guesthouse
The house was really small and needed updates. The furniture was uncomfortable. The outdoor furniture was in really poor condition, needs to be replaced. The stovetop did not work and only a hotplate to cook on. You couldn't cook more than an egg. House was dusty. It was close to the beach and had lots of nice areas to walk.

needs a good cleaning
Walking into the unit the floor was covered with light layer of sand. Woke up the first morning and the stove didn't work so we couldn't make breakfast. Someone came to look at the unit but stove only worked hit or miss. The upper deck was so dirty, not even possible to sit out and enjoy. The bathroom sink upstairs was clogged. The location was great, close to the beach and the shops. For the price it needs some attention.

In need of repair
Upon arrival on Sunday evening the downstairs air cond. was broke , didn’t want to bother on a Sunday evening, so we contacted the manger on Monday morning , and repairs was scheduled that day , advised them to call us since our pet was in the home when they was coming , as late evening came we was still advised they was coming Monday for service, so all day Monday was spent staying around seaside so we could get back in short notice, it was a no show , they advised on Tuesday they was coming and we had done made plans to be in destin and I advised just to forget about repairing cause we was going to leave a day early and that was Wednesday morning early ,then when we came back from destin we walked in the home to find a young man installing a portable air cond. downstairs , he was very nice and polite but they was advised to let us know so we could be there with our pet, the place was very disappointing for seaside, when I booked I seen a/c repair was back several months but kinda figured it was repaired, blinds on doors was a wreck , bathroom ceiling had mold on it , location is the only thing going for it, we feel like we wasted Monday waiting on the repairs, and we decide to leave early , sorry but this location will never be a option for us , house is in desperate need of some repair,

Summer 2019
We loved the location. We were able to walk to the restaurants, beach, stores, pool and gym. The property states that we would have access to 3 pools, but the property manager could not give us a map to the 3 pools. We did get directions emailed to one of the pools. The property is advertised as having a oven, but when we arrived we found only a very small countertop oven. The shower curtain does not prevent water from leaking out onto the wood floor in the bathroom and the floor in there is warped. A shower door would prevent the floor from further damage. Only one light worked in the bathroom and we could not find any replacement bulbs. We did have a great vacation and always enjoy our time in Seaside.

Angel in the dunes, seaside
As arriving we noticed the place having issues such as spots on the furniture spots worn stained pillows and very worn chair , no backing and you could feel the springs thru the worn seat cushion.Uncomfortable sofa, the blinds throughout the unit the paint was coming off. The only chair at the table the seat had a hole in it so you could not use it. In the kitchen there were only three forks ,two spoons and one glass and the upstairs bathroom had water damage around the tub and water damage on the wood floor .the bed was not very comfortable at all and we could not get out to the balcony. Everything needed updating furniture ,bedding ,kitchen accessories, utensils. But it was a great location and easy access to the beach very private we enjoyed our stay in Seaside but will not be coming back to that guest house.

Nice little cottage
My daughter and I had a nice stay in this cottage. It is very centrally located. Just a few blocks from the town circle in Seaside and right across the street from the beach access. This cottage is four houses off 30a. You can’t get closer. Big plus! It is a cottage behind a larger house but I never felt like we did not have privacy. There is a nice little deck where I sat every morning and enjoyed my coffee. It is a kitchenette, not a full fridge but big enough for basics. I never figured out how to turn on the range top, I think it is broken. Either way it needs to be addressed. Plenty of shelves for snacks, small washer/dryer. The sofa does pull out to a comfortable twin bed. The bedroom is a nice size, bathroom small but manageable. The mattress was comfortable. They do need to put lightbulbs in the lamps. Come on people! This is not a house to lounge in, not very comfortable furniture. It’s a place to sleep, shower and go have fun!

Gerry M.

Disliked: Cleanliness, listing accuracy
Don't stay here!
The listing looked great and the location was great. The location was the only reason it got at least one star. It's one block from the beach entrance. That's the only good part of the story. Upon entering the rental, there was a strong musty smell. Found out it was due to the downstairs wall A/C unit dripping on the hardwood floor. Those planks were covered in black mold. The floor molding around the upstairs bathtub/shower was rotted, mushy, and covered in black mold. The wood floor planks next to the tub were likewise covered in black mold. The cloth outer shower curtain had black mold in patches. When we left and pulled back the bed sheets, the bed is covered in discolored spots presumably mold. Glad we didn't see that on the first day. The one couch had multiple stains on the cushions. Nearly all of the blinds were broken in one way or another. The kitchen had 2 spoons, 2 knifes, and 1 fork. There was a coffee pot but no filters. Immediately upon arriving, we notified Vacasa (the property management company) of the strong musty smell but received only a form response welcoming us to the rental. Didn't hear anything else from them until the standard "checkout" email. Terrible waste of money. Don't stay here!
