Our stay at this house was a great experience. It’s beautiful but very comfortable. We felt at home there. Close to the beach and Seaside shops and restaurants.

We're thrilled to be a part of your family's holiday, Jeanne! Thanks for booking with us, and we look forward to your future stays.
Thank you for a wonderful stay! The location is amazing. We only had to use our car for grocery shopping, everything was walkable and easy to the beach, shopping and restaurants. The decor and areas to relax means everyone can find a space for reading, TV, chatting etc. the ping pong table saw many tournaments and the kitchen was fully stocked with great Sub Zero appliances. Any small issues we had were quickly resolved. We will be back!

Excellent news Michele! Please come back and see us - Exclusive 30A
Listed as a 4 bedroom but is only actually 3 full bedrooms with closets. Good amount of supplies to get us through the week. Upstairs porch nice but sofa and chairs were not comfortable. Great location. Overall great house.

Thanks for booking with us! We do make it clear in the listing that the 4th bedroom does not offer a closet so as to avoid any confusion. We'll assess the furniture and give anything an update if needed. We would love to have you back!
Out of the Blue is in the heart of Seaside, a short block from the square and cross 30a to the beautiful white sand emerald water of the Gulf.
Out of the Blue kitchen was remarkable. Family and dining room 15-20’ cathedral ceiling was splendid to sit, talk, eat, read, and watch tv in.
The first floor are the bedrooms. Notable, was the master bathroom, tub and separate shower room with shower jets and is also a steam room.
Two large from porches, plenty of seating and rockers. Up top is a Crows nest which was a great place to relax.
If you haven’t been to Seaside for the Holidays, I would recommend it. You own Seaside, no crowds. A true unplugged vacay! Nice!

Out of the Blue was Perfect.....Seaside - Not So Much
The house was fantastic. Beautiful. Spacious. Lots of windows. The porch was a great place to have a cocktail in the evening. One block from the square so absolutely a perfect location. The reason I didn't give 5 stars on the review is because Seaside itself was over the top with a 7pm curfew. The house is a 5 star. Seaside - 1 star. The curfew is really difficult when you have six, 16 year old boys. Also, Seaside security was VERY strict about any noise or music coming from your house so the boys couldn't even play ping pong on the front porch without being threatened by security. Probably a great place to stay during the summer.......but definitely not the place to go for Spring Break!

Hi Robert! We are so thrilled you loved the home - it's a favorite for sure:) As for Seaside, please remember this review really does not apply and lowers the star rating of the home. Seaside is a very popular place but we understand it's not for everyone. The curfew is put in place by the Resort because of spring break issues in the past and we really haven't gotten any complaints about this as it does make a nicer atmosphere in the evenings for families. We hope you enjoyed the amenities and the gorgeous blue water!
