🏠Welcome to Buying Time
LOCATION, LOCATION, LOCATION! This 1947 historic, two-bedroom is exactly that, a 1947 built old school Seagrove Beach cottage. It has been painted and decorated. That's it. It has the original doors, windows and plumbing. It is a quirky cottage, even the laundry room is located in the garage. The cabinets and appliances were updated in the 80's – but nothing since then. So, what we are saying here is if you are looking for the new modern beach home, this is not for you. The old look and feel to the structure will touch on all of your senses. If you are looking for the way people used to vacation at the beach, this is for you and Buying Time can't wait to have you. Can you guess why the owners call it that?!
Downstairs you will find the kitchen, dining area, and living room with a flat screen TV. There is also a bathroom complete with a mudroom perfect for cleaning sandy feet after a long day at the beach. In the afternoon you can open the French doors to the screened-in porch and hear the sound of the waves.
Up the spiral staircase to the second floor, you will find most of the sleeping quarters with three rooms: a queen master, a guest room with 2 full beds, and a bunk nook with a twin bunk bed.
Please be advised there is a studio attached that is rented separately.

AREA ATTRACTIONS:Discover the charm of Seagrove, a beach neighborhood that locals and guests love. Lush oak trees, magnolias, and pines have spread deep roots in Seagrove — and so have long-time visitors who keep coming back. Laid-back but luxurious, Seagrove is a place that embraces variety. From upscale boutiques to casual cafes, this beach neighborhood offers a little bit of everything — including two rare coastal dune lakes, a state park, and sugar-white sand. Pack a picnic, fishing pole, and binoculars — and witness how stunning Seagrove is in its all-natural state. Its sugar-white sand has been a peaceful retreat in South Walton for decades; here, old and new Gulf Coast style merge to create a charming beach neighborhood with everything one may need for a truly relaxing getaway.
