This property is located just far enough from the center of town to avoid the hustle and bustle but a short 10 min walk takes you right back into the action! 4 bikes are included with the rental and allow for easy access for a relaxing ride around Seaside's streets. The BBQ pit on the side of the house is new and in good condition and there are 4 beach chairs included as well from Cabana Man co on the beach everyday! Inside the house is kitted out with a full new kitchen, an Apple/Andriod compatible sound system, personal TV's in all rooms and fast WIFI. All in all was a very enjoyable experience that complemented Seaside's charm instead of being a hastle.

Stay Dates: December 23-26, 2026…read more This was our first full family Christmas trip, and unfortunately the experience fell well below expectations. All issues were reported promptly, but while responses were received, the concerns were not fully addressed. This lack of follow-through led to additional problems and ultimately a complete interruption of our Christmas Day...much of which could have been avoided with proper resolution early on. We were required to relocate from the original property to a replacement that was not comparable and did not meet our needs (no main-level master for elderly family members and only two full bathrooms). Despite clearly outlining these requirements beforehand, we then had to move a second time...on Christmas morning. This meant packing and relocating 9 people, all food, and Christmas gifts, costing us approximately four hours on Christmas morning while we were opening gifts and preparing breakfast. It also eliminated planned time with our grandchildren at the beach. At the final home, the golf cart was not operable (dead battery and flat tire), and a promised repair was never completed. A late checkout requested on Thursday was not addressed until Friday after I followed up on my initial request. I requested at least a 2:00 pm checkout based on missing 6 hrs of our Christmas day moving locations. They finally responded that we would not be granted the extension. Overall, the lack of attention to detail, incomplete issue resolution, and handling of multiple relocations--especially during a special Christmas holiday vacation significantly disrupted our family experience. My family deserved a more responsive and considerate level of service.

WARNING to anyone booking a rental - the non-refundable booking fee is outrageous and obscene. It's so bad, that I will look for other rental agencies in the future and carefully check their contracts.

Our family was scheduled to stay in a beachfront home in the Alys Beach area when an unexpected hurricane affected our travel plans. We did not purchase travel insurance, and we fully understood that meant we should not expect a cash refund. We never asked for one. What we did ask was whether, given our long history as repeat customers, 360 Blue would consider offering even a partial credit -- we suggested 50% -- toward a future stay. We felt that was a reasonable request under unusual circumstances, especially since the money would have remained with 360 Blue and we intended to continue renting with them. Unfortunately, the request was declined very quickly and we felt the interaction lacked the kindness, flexibility, and customer consideration we would have expected after more than a decade of loyalty. Policies matter, and we respect that. But customer service also matters, especially when dealing with long-term repeat guests and circumstances outside anyone's control. We have always enjoyed the homes we rented through 360 Blue, which is why this was so disappointing. After more than 10 years of choosing them for our family vacations, this experience has made us seriously reconsider whether we will continue doing so.

During our stay, our experience was far from acceptable.

To make matters worse, on our second-to-last day, prolonged overnight stays triggered a visible reaction in one of our children due to mold exposure. We later discovered that mold was present in at least five rooms. Coming from outlets, vents, and alarmingly from a light fixture in the kids' bunk bedroom, directly above where the children sleep. When we reported these issues, management appeared indifferent, merely attempting a temporary fix by spraying a solution rather than addressing the extensive mold infestation with proper remediation measures. This combination of unclean conditions and serious health hazards raises significant concerns about the safety and upkeep of the property.

They took what was supposed to be a relaxing carefree vacation and turned it into a nightmare. Also, the last AC technician told us that they had problems with this house prior to us booking. If you do book, take notes of everything! DO NOT BOOK!! We are currently renting house through this company and every night that we have been here our AC has not worked on our sleeping floors. They have sent out an AC company three times and they have NOT fixed it! We have slept in the heat every night we have been here and NO ONE will contact us back. This has been such a NIGHTMARE! Also, the home was not properly cleaned upon arrival either. This has literally been the BIGGEST headache I've ever had to experience on what was supposed to be a relaxing time that we have spent a lot of money on. DO NOT USE THEM! Although a review I posted received a response suggesting we were offered to move, this offer came after four days of enduring the problem. With a party of 16 people, relocating was not a feasible option. Moreover, my husband was later informed that no alternative accommodation was actually available, as the initial offer was made by a new employee who was unaware of the actual situation. Consequently, our only "solution" was the continuous visits from technicians and the provision of two box fans, which were obviously inadequate in the Florida heat.

We rented a condo from Kim and Andy Zeiset, owners of Villa Grove Properties…read morehttps://www.villagroveproperties.com for our family beach vacation. https://m.facebook.com/villagroveproperties/ https://www.linkedin.com/in/andruzeiset/ We checked into the unit at 4 PM on July 17, 2022. The following day at 10 AM, my son found a juvenile bedbug crawling on him. We inspected his bed and found an adult bed bug. We immediately called the owners, who were a little slow getting back to us; they were on vacation out of the country (probably in a bedbug-free environment, but who knows). Over 2 hours later, the on-site property manager inspected the unit, and he could not find any bugs. Still, to be safe, they had a cleaning crew change the linens on the infested bed and scheduled an exterminator to inspect the unit the next day. We requested to be notified when the inspection was taking place. July 19, 2 PM We received a text message from the owners that the exterminators found evidence of bedbugs in all three bedrooms and that we had to vacate the premises for treatment. I called the exterminator, and he provided additional details on the infestation. He had found multi-generational activity in all of the beds, and in his professional opinion, the unit had been infested for at least 4-6 weeks. The owners of Villa Grove Properties are greedy, terrible people. They ruined our vacation and said they would graciously refund nearly $7,400 in rental fees. However, after they sat on our refund, I had to dispute the charges with my credit card company. They said they would refund me on 7/19, I opened a dispute on 7/25, and it was resolved in my favor on 7/30. Our family gets to take a single vacation a year, and they ruined this year's trip. I asked them for additional compensation to address our travel, food, and bed bug inspection at our home. They actually had the gall to say... "We are back in the country next week, I'm just not sure what else we can do. Other than a full refund, we've also got the costs of replacing bedding, pest control treatments, and other canceled reservations for the next coming weeks all of which will total over $10,000 in additional losses. It's an absolute nightmare for everyone." Are you kidding me! How tone deaf can you get? This $3M condo is only one of the units they own. They had one job, provide a clean, bedbug-free condo in exchange for $7,400. Their laziness and negligence ruined our vacation, cost our family several thousand in expenses, and I still have to worry about how much it will cost me if these bedbugs get into my home. On top of all that, they had the chutzpa to cry about replacing linens and lost rental income!! Kim and Andy Zeiset, the owners of Villa Grove Properties, are greedy, self-absorbed, and have no business in the service industry. They can't think of anyone but themselves and their money.

I can't stress enough how valuable it is to purchase an annual SP pass, Florida has so many beautiful parks if you are traveling across the state this annual pass will more than pay for itself. Visiting this park during the off season was especially rewarding, no crowds so we practically had the entire beach to ourselves, the white sugar sand and clear warm water was the perfect place to be on a warm fall day. Although shelling was a disappointment the abundance of wildlife and native plants more than made up for it. This is definitely a state park I'd return too, maybe spend a few days here in the RV when in the area...
