PRIVATE POOL - OCEAN VIEW - 5 star 30A near Prominence - 2 min WALK to sand

Off the Clock boasts a large salt water pool that converts into a giant hot tub to enjoy on those chilly Florida nights. Enjoy the your own personal light show in the color of your choice while relaxing in the pool. The pool is equipped with a tanning ledge and two lounge chairs for your enjoyment. Comfy outdoor couches and four additional lounge chairs around the pool along with a brand new grill make the backyard a true oasis and help to transport you to a higher level of relaxation.

A stay at Off the Clock will make you forget the real world and put you in a vacation state of mind!

Nice house but worth the price?? Details matter!
The house is nice and functional, but details matter when it comes to this price point. The pool is small and we couldn't get the lights to work which was disappointing for night swims. Also, on our first day, the pool guys showed up to service the pool which meant we couldn't use it for a few hours. A better schedule is needed for maintenance. The beach ACCESS is about a 2 or 3 minute walk as advertised, however, that does not include the steps to the sand! If you're like my family, we love the beach and want to stay most of the day which requires coolers, chairs, tents, etc. Not fun to haul all of that up and down more than 50 steps....Be prepared. We did rent a golf cart (I highly recommend) to make the trek to and from the access point more friendly. The TV remotes need to be replaced badly. We had one remote that worked out of about 5. There are no shutters or curtains on the living room windows and the neighbors are close! I love the natural light during the day, but a little more privacy at night would've been nice. Overall we had a good trip, but I'm not sure I'd rent this particular house/location again.

Absolutely Perfect
Off the Clock was the perfect home for our family vacation and we had the best time ever! The house itself was immaculate and came equipped with everything you could ever need. The rooms are all comfortable and there was plenty of space for 6 adults + 4 kids.
The location is also perfect. It was a 2-minute walk to the Gulf Lakes beach access, within walking distance to The Big Chill, and a short drive to many of our other favorites around 30A. We never had issues with the beach being overcrowded and were able to find plenty of space for ourselves the entire week we were there. The pool area was our favorite and where we ultimately ended up spending the majority of our time. We had four kids under 4yrs old, so they tired of the beach by lunch time each day. The pool area at Off the Clock was the perfect oasis for us to play and relax.
At the end of the week, no one wanted to leave. We had the best stay and can't recommend it enough!

Great stay!
A perfect house for us! Super close walk to the beach access. And the access was not that crowded for a holiday weekend. House fully stocked with anything you may need. The pool was great and had some afternoon and morning shade. The owner was super quick to respond with any questions. My only suggestion would be a couple more seating options in living room for a house that big. Otherwise, we would love to rent it again!!

Off the Clock is LUXURY Paradise on 30A!
Perfect, peaceful, pristine. We enjoyed a few days on 30A and stayed at this gem of a property with a beautiful pool with a less than 2 minute walk to the beach! Julie, the host, was exceptional, super fast to respond to any questions and ensured we had a wonderful experience! Some highlights:
-I love to cook and the kitchen had everything we needed
-The decor and fixtures are all top of the line
-The bunk room is perfect for kids and gave them a space they made their own
-It's a quick drive to Prominance, Alys Beach or Rosemary
-Everything was immaculately clean
-The pool loungers with LED light show was a nightly ritual for the family
-My favorite spot was the Crow's Nest at night with a glass of wine
Nothing was worn or outdated- Julie has obviously ensured the home is meticulously maintained. I can't wait to go back in the summer!

Everything was perfect. The house is gorgeous and has a wonderful private pool and converts into a giant hot tub! The beach is literally a 2 minute walk (I timed it!) and it is quiet and great. My family and I loved being within walking distances to shops and dining as well. House is located in a very nice part of 30A away from the craziness of wild teens let loose is Seaside.

Seacrest Christmas Break
Property owner very responsive. House was clean. Pictures online are representative of actual. Pool was amazing.
A few areas of opportunity. Master Bedroom only had access to Netflix. I needed to change batteries in 3 remotes. One remote…was over utilized and needs to be replaced.
Keurig needs to be replaced. Barely made a cup of coffee.
In all this is a great home. Very close to beach. Access to beach is about 150 yards. Road in front of house felt like an interstate. Be careful pulling in and out or walking across the street.
Overall 4 stars. Clean inside and nice decor. Needs some attention to minor details as mentioned to justify high end price point.
