About this property

A Picturesque Cottage Retreat nestled in Cassine Village, Seagrove Beach.

Note: If booked try our sister property at vrbo/1314455.

The perfect place for a Sea Esta!

Our beach home is located in Cassine Village, a lovely community in Seagrove Beach right across from the ocean on 30-A. It’s just a short walk to the beach with easy access. The neighborhood amenities include 2 pools, 2 tennis courts with pickle ball, a nature trail, a private lake with fishing and picnic areas, and a basketball goal. There’s always something to do in Cassine!

The Master Bedroom has a king size bed, his & her closets, a bathroom with walk-in shower, and a flat-screen TV. The second bedroom has a queen bed with a flat-screen TV, and it offers private access to the second full bathroom. The third bedroom has 2 twin beds, a larger flat-screen TV and a Blu-ray/DVD player.

The kitchen, dining area, and family room are a wide-open space to enjoy some downtime and relax. There are French doors separating this area from the bedrooms. The family room has a large flat-screen TV with Blu-ray/DVD player. There is also a queen sleeper sofa with a second full sized sofa for plenty of seating. The dining area offers a fun bistro-style table with seating for six, and the breakfast bar has another four barstools to seat a total of ten. The kitchen is stocked with granite countertops, stainless appliances, large pantry, tons of cabinet space, and all the chef's tools you need to enjoy a nice meal after a full day at the beach.

A large screened in porch in back faces the wooded area surrounding the private community lake. It has a comfy pit group sofa & coffee table, along with another bistro-style table with seating for four. It’s a wonderful place to sit and relax, read, enjoy a cup of coffee, or play games with the family. Just off of the screened porch is a patio area with another table for four, and a large four-burner grill for cooking all the fresh seafood you want. This is all in addition to the cozy front porch with seating for four.

Other amenities include free wifi, washer/dryer, beach chairs & umbrellas, a trellis to shade your car, and a large outdoor storage closet for storing any of your other beach stuff or bicycles.

Seaside Beach is an easy bike ride, as well as the Publix grocery, Tom Thumb, and many restaurants. 'Goatfeathers' is across the street from the neighborhood for some fantastic fresh seafood. The entrance to Cassine has a Mexican restaurant, a pizza place, an ice cream shop, and a shop for beach toys and other items.

You won't find a better value this close to the beach! We hope you visit Sea Esta and fall in love with it as much as we have!

Very spacious house for six people. We enjoyed the location and the bike rides to Seaside and 2 state parks. We also enjoyed the provided beach supplies. Host checked in to make sure our needs were met. We’ll be back!

It’s worth the hype!

All the reviews for “Sea Esta” are 10/10. I wondered, “Is that really true?” Yes, it’s true. Everything- cleanliness, location, amenities, communication, ease checking in/out, etc. are great. You won’t be disappointed.

Great property for a beach week!

We had a wonderful week at this charming beach house. It was clean, comfortable, and well-equipped. We rented a golf cart and hardly used our car at all. We hope to return to Sea Esta!

This was our 4th year staying here and we don’t even consider staying anywhere else.

Absolutely perfect - can’t imagine staying anywhere else. This home is open and has fantastic light - and the accommodations are super homey. The back screened porch is where every morning is spent - best way to start the day!

Beautifully decorated Cottage

One of the most charming homes that are for rent in the area. The owner has thought of everything and the cottage is located in a very quite community off of 30A. The House is less than 2 blocks from a beach access and all sorts of beach equipment is provided with this rental. We would definitely rent here again!

Perfect week, perfect location

We visited during a week when the weather didn’t always cooperate. It was good to have a place that was nice and relaxing with many different conversation areas where we could “hang.” This home had everything we needed for an enjoyable stay in the house and at the beach.

Great get away

Very nice house, felt right at home. Close to the grocery store and local restaurants. Everything is within biking distance or walking distance. The beach is beautiful and perfect for long walks - couldn't have asked for a better way to spend the holidays out of Wisconsin-AND my kids got to body surf on Christmas 😊

Absolutely love SeaEsta

This is our third stay and we are already looking forward to our reservation next year! With just a short walk to the beach this home has everything you could need and more - from beach supplies to every cooking utensil to comfortably beds and lovely decor with two wonderful porches, in the front and back. Set off in a peaceful neighborhood, but close to the hustle and bustle of Seaside this is a perfect family getaway. Owners are attentive and wonderful to work with!

Family Beach Trip

We loved Cassine Village Neighborhood and Sea Estas was beautiful and had everything we needed! The walk to the beach was so convenient. The house was spacious we had six adults and one baby . We loved the back porch area . The beach wagon with chairs and umbrella’s were so nice to use for the beach. We loved using the bikes . All the restaurants were so close by and we would recommend staying there to anyone !

Beautiful house, perfect location

We can't say enough good things about this house or the location. The home was beautiful, had all the amenities, and was spacious for our family of 4. The screened in porch was the best start to the day with a cup of coffee and the best end with a game of Uno. The beach is a very short walk, as are restaurants, shops, and restaurants. We swam at the neighborhood pool and enjoyed walking through the nearby cypress swamp. The property owner was SO responsive, both answering questions in the days leading up to the trip and during. We cannot wait to return, and we'll absolutely be staying at the SeaEsta again. It was the perfect getaway.

Spring Break Vacation

This is a very nice property in a quiet neighborhood with a pool and tennis courts and walking distance to a beautiful beach. The owners thought of everything! Beach supplies, towels, bikes, chairs, umbrellas, cooler, beach toys/games. The owners were very quick to respond to questions and even gave us a great restaurant recommendation. Definitely will recommend to family and friends!

Excellent spring break

My family, including four kids, spent a week at Sea Esta over spring break. The house is gorgeous, clean, and has everything you need. We used the bikes, boogie boards and sand toys. The screened in porch is great in the evenings. The only negative to the whole trip was the lack of a heated pool meant no swimming. Overall, this is a perfect location and fabulous home for a beach vacation.

About the host

Hosted by Stephanie Bowker

Host profile image
Our family has frequently visited Cassine Village in Seagrove Beach for the past 5-6 years. We've been looking to buy a beach property and fell in love with this beautiful home. It has not been rented before, and it is in immaculate condition. We love riding bikes & walking in the morning, hanging out at the beach during the day, and feasting at many of the local restaurants in the evening. We often visit nearby Seaside and Rosemary beach but prefer a quiet day in Cassine Village and cooking out for dinner.

Why they chose this property

We've stayed in 2 other homes in Cassine, a condo on the beach, a town home down the road, and a large home for a family reunion. After spending time up and down the panhandle, Cassine is our favorite place, and this is our favorite home.

What makes this property unique

Tons of upgrades - it's nicer than our own house!
