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, and a larger flat-screen TV.
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. All of the TV's are Roku TV's so bring your own preferred streaming. There are also two full sized couches for plenty of seating. The dining area offers a fun bistro-style table with seating for six. The breakfast bar has four barstools for more casual seating. 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 steaks and 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, Cumberland's convenience store, and many restaurants. 'Goatfeathers' is across the street from the neighborhood for some fantastic fresh seafood. The entrance to Cassine has a Mexican restaurant, nail salon, small retail store, urgent care, 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!

This was our second time at the Sea-Esta, and it was another wonderful experience. The house has everything you'd need for preparing meals (we did a fair amount of cooking - and loved dining out on the screened in patio) and relaxing indoors....or heading to the beach, which is an easy and short walk. We love the neighborhood - quiet, beautiful, and walkable to restaurants and shops. The host, Stephanie, is so communicative and helpful. It truly is the perfect getaway. This was our second time, but it won't be our last. My two boys (ages 12 and 13), my husband, and I all agree - we don't want to stay anywhere else!

We had an amazing stay at this home! The home was very clean, probably the cleanest vacation rental we have stayed in. The location is amazing because it is right between all of the places on 30A that you want to visit. We loved how the house was stocked with beach chairs and toys for our kids and they had a blast using them at the beach! The neighborhood was quiet and was a super short walk to the beach— perfect! We had two small kids and the walk was easy even with them! We will def want to stay again at this home.

We had an absolutely wonderful stay at Sea Esta! My family has been making the Seaside trip for close to 30 years and this has been our favorite spot! The location is close to the beach, but not on a crowded street. The screened in back porch surrounded by trees was beautiful and very private unlike a lot of other homes in the area. Stephanie was very gracious and responsive. Will stay here again!

What a perfect week!! The house was exactly what the 6 of us needed. Plenty of beach chairs, beach toys, wagon and umbrellas we didn’t need to bring a thing. The pool was a nice change of pace. We loved the outdoor shower for getting ‘most’ the sand off. We all enjoyed the screened-in porch the frogs were great to listen to at night. Kitchen was well stocked with everything we needed for cooking a few meals. Enjoyed using the gas grill too! Easy walk to the beach, pizza parlor, Goatfeathers for fresh fish to grill, donut shop and of course the snow cone shop! Stephanie was so easy to deal with and very helpful. This quickly became one of our favorite vacation spots!!

Great location! This was our 3rd time staying at Sea Esta. About 2 1/2 blocks from the beach; an easy walk even with kids. Can walk or drive to nearby restaurants, coffee shops, ice cream shops, etc. The house has everything you would need, including beach chairs, wagon, toys and more. The screened in back porch is one of our favorite features of the house. The addition of the ramp at the beach access is a wonderful perk.

Just Off 30A
Tucked in a quiet neighborhood off of 30A. Two onsite pools. Short walk to public access beach - be sure to get there early as some visiting setup chairs and umbrellas and leave to come back later - wagon, chairs, umbrellas and beach toys provided. Pizza shop in walking distance. Perfect Pig close by too. Short drive to Panama City. Same for Grayton Beach and Destin. Live our host, Stephanie, as she was very easy to work with.

I’m not even sure what year we are on, but I believe this was the 8th or 9th year at SeaEsta. It was a perfect 10 days and SeaEsta did not disappoint. The beach was great, the pools were great and the house is great. The owners are wonderful and will respond almost immediately if something comes up. We already booked again for next year.

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.

Wonderful coastal cottage
The property was even better than expected. We especially liked the huge screened-in deck. We ate all our meals there, and spent most of our waking hours there. We loved the forest behind the porch. It was very private. The house had a perfect layout for families with young children. The walk to the beach was short, and the pools were great. I hope to stay there again next year.

Home away from home
This was our second time staying at Sea Esta for a family vacation with our 2 young kids. We all felt right at home and had everything we needed. The back screened in porch is probably our favorite feature of the house; great spot for morning coffee and lounging in a peaceful and quiet forest atmosphere. The location is perfect; close enough to the beach to easily walk, tucked away in a quiet neighborhood off 30A, yet close enough to Seaside, Watercolor and Grayton to enjoy dinners and shopping. The Publix grocery store is about 10 minutes away too. After visiting other areas, Seagrove feels like the perfect place on 30A to stay and enjoy everything the area has to offer, but to be in a quieter less congested neighborhood- we loved it. The upgraded beach wagon was a huge plus! Love the chairs, umbrellas, boogie boards, rafts, and beach toys that are available to use during our stay. Beach access was easy to use at One Seagrove Place. If you go in the morning the beach is not very crowded. The water was a dream and we enjoyed quieter mornings in the water and playing in the sand. We appreciated having the washer and dryer to do laundry throughout the week too - major bonus with kids and having laundry done for an easier return home. Some of our favorite eateries to visit that are close or not too far from the house: Turbo Coffee, Great Southern, Shunk Gulley, Fish Out Of Water, Pecan Jacks, Blue Mountain Creamery, Bronzinni’s pizza, Angelina’s, and Bud & Ally’s.

Great cottage close to the beach near nice amenities
We loved this little beach cottage! It was perfect. I loved the Ernest Hemingway vibes- dark wood and floors, light walls, very welcoming. The size was perfect for our family of five (kids ages 7, 7, 5). The screened in porch that backed up to the forest in the back was peaceful and where we would have our coffee each morning. The beach was an easy 10 minute walk. We appreciated being able to use all of their stuff as well- we used the beach wagon, beach chairs, all the boogie boards, inner tubes, and beach toys. There were bikes too, but we didn't have our kids bikes with us so there was no chance for us to go biking. One of the pools is right across the street from us and provided quick easy access. The pool is shaded in the late afternoon which was nice to get a break from the sun. The house was nicely stocked with typical things needed like a blender, towels, tupperware, etc. You can tell the people who own this cottage use it often because the things in it are quality and not cheap. The grocery store was close by, about 1.5 miles. We loved the restaurants near by and went to Brozinni's pizza twice. The owner was very accessible by text. Overall, a great trip, great cottage, and great location.

Nice Quite Place Near the Beach
This was our first trip to 30A and we thoroughly enjoyed staying at SeaEsta. Location was great, very quite and only a short easy walk to the beach. There is retail shops, restaurants, and an ice cream shop within walking distance. We enjoyed one of the community swimming pool which was very well kept. The cottage was phenomenal with plenty of space is good size rooms with a Craftsman feel. My favorite room was definitely the back screened in porch. Spent many hours back there listening to nature. The outdoor storage shed contained everything you need for a great day at the beach including, beach toys, chairs, umbrellas, boogie boards, inflatables and a pull cart. Three adult bikes where also provided but were not used since we brought our own. The owner is extremely attentive and was quick to respond to any questions I had and was very engaged. Overall very impressed with the property and the location. I would recommend for sure!

6 week winter getaway
We were very pleased with our whole rental experience. The house had a well equipped kitchen for cooking. It is located in a charming, quiet neighbourhood, with lots of trees and greenery providing privacy. It was a short walk to the beach, which we enjoyed daily. Ooh la la! The beach is gorgeous! Although it was cool in January and February, we loved walking the beach daily.
