"Sea Gem 30A" #215 Studio Sleeps 2

Experience the best of Florida: sugar white sand, dunes, emerald water, breath-taking sunsets! Our charming condo is located on the 2nd floor of building E in The Village of South Walton Community, only minutes away from the beach.

Primary renter must be at least 18 years of age. Guests may be asked to present their IDs upon arrival or anytime during their stay. Do not rent this unit for another party. The primary renter must be staying in the unit.

About the Community/Property:

Location, relaxation, and good times sum up this fabulous community, located in the heart of Florida’s scenic highway 30A corridor in Seacrest Beach. Snuggled between Rosemary Beach and Aly's Beach, within steps of local eateries, as well as the pristine beaches of the Emerald Coast, this property is sure to provide you with that re-energizing vacation you’ve been waiting for!

Nestled between glamorous Alys Beach (a few blocks west) and The Village of Rosemary Beach (a block east), the Villages of South Walton at Seacrest Beach offer the very best of all. Walk to the quaint shops located nearby, the wine and craft bars that dot the area, or just head to the beach, and get your toes into the powdered-sugar white sands and azure colored water of the best beaches on the Emerald Coast!

30A is a scenic stretch of highway down Florida’s beautiful gulf coast between Destin and Panama City Beach. The highway connects the coastal villages of South Walton through the undisturbed beauty of rare dune lakes, sugar white sand, and emerald-blue waters indigenous to the area. Each village has its own unique characteristics that paint a fairy tale like scene against some of the country’s most beautiful beaches. Come live the 30A life and experience the beach the way it was meant to be, where Southern Charm meets Bohemian lifestyle and unforgettable vacation memories are created.

The Village resort area with two pools, hot tub, fountain and grilling/dining sections located by Building H is for the exclusive use of guests and owners residing at The Village. Wristbands must be worn by guests over the age of 12 to gain access to this area.

The Villages of South Walton offers guests conveniently located community pools (one seasonally heated). The pool area opens at 9am and closes at 10pm; the occupancy for the hot tub is 11. As there are no lifeguards at the pool, children must be monitored by an adult. Children under the age of 5 must wear swim diapers when at the pool. Please do not make exceptions, as accidents introducing fecal matter into the pool require a special disinfection process, which will result in the pool shutting down for up to 24 hours.

Amenity Wristbands: In the condo’s kitchen(ette), you will find "The Village" wristbands for your use. The following areas require wristbands be worn by all guests (13 years of age and older): the private beach access through Sunset Beach, The Village tram, and the new resort pool at The Village across from Building G. Prior to departure please return all wristbands to their proper place (guests will be charged a fee of $30 for each missing wristband).

Beach Tram Info: A complimentary beach tram is available to all guests of The Village of South Walton from March 1st– October 31st from 9am to 5:30pm CST (with no Tram service from noon-1; in addition, the Tram does not run in inclement weather). Guests must call to schedule Tram pickup, otherwise no tram service will be provided. Tram departs from The Village pool area near Building H. All guests 13 years of age and older must wear wristbands to access the Tram. No wagons, no glass, no canopies, or pets allowed on the Tram.

Beach Access Info: Private beach access for guests residing at The Village is through the Sunset Beach community. This private access point is monitored; guests older than the age of 12 will be required to wear a wristband to gain entry.

Walking Directions (5 to 10-minute walk): From Peddler's Pavilion (shopping area in front of The Village) turn right onto 30A. You'll pass High Pointe Resort House on your left. The beach access is shortly thereafter on the left (north) side of 30A (directly across from the Seacrest Beach entrance). You will see the prominent lifeguard chair, which is the entrance to Seacrest. At that chair, take a left and locate the guard house. Show your wristbands to the guard and you will be permitted to walk straight to the beach. If there is no guard upon your arrival, walk down the middle path, in between the gates, to gain access to the beach.

Wheeled coolers, wagons, golf carts, bikes, skateboards and roller blades are NOT allowed through this beach access. Some large items may be permitted; however, per noise restrictions, they must be hand-carried down the pedestrian pathway leading to the shore through Sunset Beach. Strollers are permitted through the beach access as long as they are used to transport children and not beach gear. Beach tents are not permitted on any private beach access along 30A.

Closest Public Beach Access: Should you desire public beach access where lifeguards are on duty (available during the high season only, from 9am - 5pm CST), head to the beach access point at Inlet Beach. Turn right at the light at the intersection of 30A and Highway 98. In just less than ½ a mile, turn right onto Orange Street (you will see the sign for "public beach access").

Vaca stay
My only beef is I think owners should provide more instant communication other than email. We always did when we were owners. Also you should not require guests to wash their dishes if there is no dishwasher. We cleaned them very well but there is no guarantee your guests will do a good job washing their dishes.

Great Location! Great Stay!
I brought my wife here for her 50th Birthday. We enjoyed the stay. The studio apartment was clean and well decorated. The location was amazing. We loved having shops, food, coffee, and sweet stores withing walking distance. The live music in the evening was nice. We weren't used to walking to the beach, as we usually stay right on the beach, but the walk was nice. I would definitely would consider returning to this area and possibly this complex in the future. Two cons of the property: 1. The upstairs neighbors were quite noisy all weekend. We may have been under a childs room in the larger condo above us. Lots of jumping around at all hours. (Hopefully not the owners) 2. There was a musty smell throughout the corridor where the room was located (B Corridor). It seemed as though there may have been some water damage somewhere that caused a lingering smell, which included our room. Overall, this is a great place. Easy access, great amenities, wifi worked, streaming services on TV, all great! Would reccomend.

My Stay
This rental was very nicely decorated and was amply supplied. However, it was basically a hotel room with a kitchenette area, but had no oven, toaster oven or dishwasher. Also, the refrigerator had no ice maker. There was no view - the only window looked out to a breezeway and wall. It was centrally located in a good area with lots of shopping, restaurants, etc. For a quick, weekend stay for one person or a couple who does not plan on staying in the room much, this is a good choice. However, I would not recommend it for more than a couple of days, especially for the price. I did have a few issues at check-in. First, the unit was hard to find by the directions. The building signs and room signage are poor. Secondly, I arrived at 11:00 PM and the key lock code given would not work, even after trying several times. A bit frustrating. I texted and called the owner multiple times, tried to leave voicemail messages, but his mailbox was full. He finally texted me back about 45 minutes later and re-set the door and gave me a new code. Another issue was the wi-fi network name was listed incorrectly in the description area of the site. Needs to be updated.

Great for a short getaway for 2 to the beach. Great location in the center of all of the 30A action and a short walk to the beach. Owner was quick to respond to questions at check in. The directions to the unit after arrival on property need to be updated. Would stay here again.

I have to say this is one of the nicest places I’ve stayed here at this property as we have stayed at The Villages of South Walton several times. I was hesitant because I read some reviews prior but I have NO IDEA why the poor reviews on this place! Because it was clean Beautifully decorated with much attention to detail, the bed was soooo comfortable and the owner was very quick to respond and courteous!

Started bad….ended OK
We arrived to find the unit was being painted. Called the owner and received a return call within an hour. He admitted he made a mistake on our arrival date and to his credit, issued an immediate full refund. However, good luck finding an acceptable place to stay on Labor Day weekend. We ended up driving back home that evening and our vacation was ruined. Obviously I cannot comment on the specific unit as I never went in, but I will say that the common areas of the building were not up to standard. While this is not the owners fault, it is certainly something to be considered. Based on our experience we cannot recommend staying here.
