DETAILED DESCRIPTION:
Sandalwood Beach Cottage is a newer built 5 BR (Sleeps 12) luxury coastal modern home stunningly decorated with rich amenities not often found in vacation rentals. Sandalwood is located in Magnolia Dunes, a private 16-home community located on Scenic 30A in the town of Seagrove. 30A is an idyllic Florida scenic highway which strolls through the towns of Blue Mountain Beach, Grayton Beach, Watercolor, Seaside, Seagrove, and Rosemary Beach. Sandalwood is located about a block from the beach, a short 3-4 minute walk. While it is a snap to walk to, there is a nice drop-off at the beach access that you can drive/or bike up to, if desired.

Perfect house rental

We enjoyed our stay. This home was in perfect condition. Very clean, comfortable and had many extras, like games and beach gear. The home decor is beautiful and the beds are comfortable. There are many little touches this home has that made our stay feel like home. The owner was extremely helpful. We will definitely rent here again.

We loved our vacation in this beautiful home!

Beautiful home! We had everything we needed for our vacation! Communication with the home owners was fabulous! The house itself is comfortable and spacious! We enjoyed the golf cart to head to Seaside or our beach access. There is a beach access about 5 blocks away.which we loved. I will definitely stay here again! There is also a closer beach access within walking distance but due to construction at that access we chose the farther one.

30A Gem

My sisters and I booked Carlene and Mark's place for a 60th birthday trip. The house was spacious, and clean, and provided all amenities including beach chairs, umbrellas, bikes, a golf cart, a wide assortment of dishes and glassware, and lots of the same comforts as a regular home. The neighborhood was extremely quiet and convenient. If you have a group, I would highly recommend.

Amazing property with all the touches!

This property is exactly as listed—beautiful, well-stocked, spotlessly clean and perfect for a large group or multiple families. This is by far the BEST VRBO we’ve ever stayed in (and we’ve stayed in a lot!). It is a very reasonable walk to the beach (even with three small kids in tow), and a perfect location for accessing everything along 30A. We would definitely stay hear again!

Clean, comfortable, convenient

Great house for our group of 11! The neighboring construction kept noise to a minimum, and the property owner was extremely responsive when we communicated some minor challenges. The house is convenient to the beach and Goatfeathers seafood market. Beds are comfortable, and kitchen amenities are perfect for the family that likes to cook and stay in for meals. Great value!

Great.

Here it is: for the last four years we have rented a different home in the Seaside area for the family Thanksgiving. We liked this home so much that we may actually rent this property again for next year. The location was perfect - close to the beach, gas station, restaurants, etc.... The property was exactly as described and did fit our needs perfectly. Sufficient parking, nice grill, efficient kitchen, Apple TV, it was all good. Highly recommend this owner and this property.

Seagrove Beach Perfect Location

This house was perfect for our group to enjoy the beach, which was only a few minutes walk, or the heated pool right across the street, or the nearby ice cream shop, restaurants, general stores & more. We also enjoyed that this house was a block off the Highway 30A so we easily got to neighboring beach towns, too. And our hosts were super responsive, within minutes every time we had a question or needed a recommendation. We had a flat tire on one of our bikes and it was fixed within 10 minutes, which was fantastic! Superior house in a superior location with superior service!! We can't wait to get back to 30A and we definitely have this house on our short list!!

Beautiful 30A beach home

We had a great experience staying at this 30A beach home. The house was gorgeous, clean, and perfect for our family. The convenience that the golf cart provided, along with a close beach access made this week with 2 small children a breeze. The closest beach access is across the road and diagonal from the street where this house is located. Less than a 5 minute walk or a 1 min cart ride. This property is a very close drive (within a 5 minute care or golf cart ride) to many fantastic restaurants, coffee shops, grocery store, and bars. Needless to say if you are considering staying here, dont hesitate. Thank you again!
