Our favorite beach stay!

The pictures on the listing don’t do this place justice. It is so nice and spacious. We stayed here with our two year olds. It was the perfect size for a family of 4, super clean, with comfortable furniture. We loved being able to walk directly to the beach- made it so easy with two toddlers. There are stairs to get to the beach but it wasn’t too bad. The location of the condo was right in the middle of everything. A very short ride to Seaside or Rosemary Beach! We absolutely loved staying here and plan to return.

Truly a home away from home

This was the perfect location for a week at the beach with my family and enjoy my five month old son’s first trip. We loved our accommodations and the proximity not only to the beach but also to some of our favorite restaurants like Black Bear Bakery and George’s.

Wonderful Beach Vacation

This was our first time vacationing in Seacrest (30A), and I will definitely recommend this area and condo again. We will always prefer the private beach as it is less crowded than other surrounding public beaches. It was perfect for our family of 4 (two children ages 5 and 2).

Air conditioning was perfect, bed was comfortable as usual, price is more reasonable than other units we checked at Seamist. We really like the covered porch for storing paddle boards and bikes.

Great location and beach access

A few things to tighten up to make a 5 star rating 1) floor cleanliness - some bug parts -dead roaches 2) slider door has gap - problematic when hot 3) soap and TP a little sparse for 2 4) bed really comfortable but squeaky 5) living room furniture dated and not real comfortable 6) toaster oven needs replaced with better toaster Shower/bath great - fridge outstanding Loved the deck to sit and enjoy afternoon sun when too windy/ chilly on beach Nothing really that bad! Loved it while we were there

Beachfront Beauty

My husband and I celebrated our 25th anniversary in Seacrest at the Maynards' Seacrest condo and had an amazing experience. We loved the ground floor walkout to the private beach, and being in a smaller community setting away from the congestion of PCB. The condo provided all the necessary amenities and our stay was comfortable and peaceful. I'm looking forward to returning to the Seamist condos for another peaceful retreat.

About the host

Hosted by Craig and Sheila Maynard

Host profile image
We welcome you to our family beach home. The Maynard family has owned and managed this prime property since 1983 and many of our guests were introduced to us many years ago. We are proud to be second generation owners offering our "Home by the Sea" to our guests.

Why they chose this property

Once you enjoy the Emerald Coast experience you will know why the Maynard family are proud to call this our "Home by the Sea."

Our property is our own vacation home. It is equipped as such and offers a family atmosphere separated from the hustle and bustle of some other popular beach destinations.

What makes this property unique

We are nestled in between Rosemary and Seaside. We are in Seagrove Beach! We are just a 10 minute drive to Pier Park at Panama City Beach. It is really nice on 30A with quiet family friendly beaches. Our beach is very secluded from noisy crowds. You can walk right off our back porch to the beach and not worry about packing coolers and all the things you need for a day at the beach. If you forget something, just walk right up the steps to the condo. There is a nice veranda to relax and read a book and watch the children play in the sand. Cook dinners on our outside grill while watching the ocean and sunset. It is our families paradise. We are just minutes from Seaside and Rosemary. There are sidewalks that run the length of 30A for bikers or walkers. This is definitely a biking community with many places to rent bikes. Seagrove has been rated the most secluded beaches on 30A.
