About this property
Old Seagrove by Seaside, Vintage & Quiet Area, Backs to Canal + Free Tickets!
Experience the charm and nature of Old Seagrove in this spacious 4-bedroom, 3-bath home that overlooks a beautiful tree-lined canal. Canal of a Good Time is a 2-story beach retreat located on a quiet dead end street offering the ultimate in privacy. A 10-minute stroll will take you into Seaside, where you can enjoy award-winning restaurants, unique shops, and the ambiance of a quaint coastal village.
Wide plank heart of pine floors from an Alabama cotton warehouse grace the entire home and give it a warm, vintage charm. Soaring ceilings and multiple windows over the spacious living room give the room light and airiness. 3 bedrooms are on the main floor with the master suite encompassing the full 2nd floor.
The living room is perfect for movie nights or to relax with a good book (there's a library wall full of choices!). There's a larger TV mounted above the fireplace. Warm up in front of the wood-burning fireplace if you’re coming in Florida’s “cooler” months. Next to the fireplace is the perfect setup for game night – a card table and seating for 4. The kitchen opens out to the living room with a long bar that has 3 barstools.
The fully equipped kitchen has plenty of space to make meal preparation a breeze. The dining room has a large table that has 6 chairs – more chairs can easily fit from the card table to seat 8. Right outside the kitchen you’ll find the gas grill for all your BBQ cravings.
French doors off the living room open to the screened-in porch which overlooks the canal. Enjoy plenty of seating for dining and relaxation. Take a minute to unwind on the front porch on the porch swing – cool and relaxing.
Laundry room comes off the kitchen and has a front-loading washer and dryer, laundry sink, and folding countertop. Off the laundry room you’ll find the private bunk room with bathroom – great for teens.
Sleeping Arrangements: 1st Floor, Bedroom 1: Queen with TV and access to the hall bath with tub/shower combination. 1st Floor, Bedroom 2: 2 twin beds; shares hall bathroom with Bedroom 1 1st Floor, Bedroom 3: Twin-over-twin bunk room with attached full bathroom. 2nd Floor, Bedroom 4: Queen master suite with huge closet (could easily fit a Pack ‘n Play or even 2) and access to a private screened-in balcony. Private bathroom includes a beautiful walk-in 2-person shower.
The beach is about a 10-minute walk down lovely oak canopied dirt roads of Old Seagrove. Seaside is just around the corner. Or you can paddle your troubles away to Western Lake in a canoe or kayak – if you’re lucky, nature will provide you with an opening into the Gulf of Mexico! Close enough to walk or bike to everything…beach, galleries, fine cuisine, bike trails, markets, boutiques, and coffee shops!
Your stay at Canal Of A Good Time comes with Xplorie’s best activities! Tee off at Emerald Bay or Regatta Bay, zip through Baytowne Adventure Zone, and sail on the Sea Blaster Dolphin Cruise. Enjoy Big Kahuna’s Water Park, Black Light Mini Golf, and scenic bike rides with complimentary rentals. Explore 30A with ease and adventure!

Reviewer Comments:
There aren't many places where you can look off at the back porch and feel like you're in a cabin and then walk several blocks out the front door to the beach. This home felt warm and inviting the moment we stepped through the front door. It's as if we'd be coming here our entire lives. We will be back.

This was such a charming secluded place. Nestled on a wooded canal that had beautiful scenery. Yet is was just close enough for my kiddos to go make their rounds through seaside with easy access. This home had plenty of room for the 6 of us and was the perfect for the trip. Would definitely come back to this place again.
Everything was great during the stay, we all enjoyed it.

We enjoyed a wonderful week relaxing on the screened in deck and admiring the water lilies on the canal. House had everything we needed to cook meals and great restaurants nearby for when we wanted to be lazy! Beds were comfy and we all slept well after a day of biking, walking and laying on the ⛱️
By far my favorite spot in all of Seaside. I loved the seclusion, yet it was within walking distance to restaurants, shops, grocery store and the beach!
My family loves to hang out in Seaside and this house is close to the town center. We walked and rode bikes all around.

Great trip and service.
Location is awesome. Cleaning company did a poor job of cleaning before we arrived. Maintenance issues need to be addressed. The location is absolutely amazing. A little TLC and some deferred maintenance taken care of and this home would be amazing.
The house was perfect! Comfortable & well located. The strict checkin time was the only frustrating thing. Standing on the hot porch with bags and groceries after a long drive at 3:45 pm and the code doesn’t work until 4:01 while Sun is beaming on us.
We enjoyed the Canal of a good time.
The house was clean and comfortable.
It’s a cozy house perfect for a family vacation.
The location is good. We rented a golf cart which made it very easy and quick to get to a lot of places.
The deck area was very nice and relaxing.
The communication with the rental company was good.
I didn’t need anything in the kitchen. Pretty much everything needed was there.
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay.
Overall not bad. These are suggestions for the property. A full matching set of cookware would be nice. The kitchen is not safe. There isn’t a vent for cooking, microwave below stove top. I would remodel kitchen to prevent accidents with those staying on the property.

The rental itself was very nice, well stocked. Loved the porches and open kitchen which was conducive to visiting. Would recommend adding additional light along walking paths and driveway at night which can be a bit tricky to navigate at night. As it near many beach accesses it is very difficult to find parking to accommodate your golf cart.

Reviewer Comments:
The house had a good location and accommodated the group I had. Downstairs rooms are very small especially bunk room. Upstairs room good size but it gets hot even when lower area of house was cool. It would have been nice to have a few extra towels so that we didn’t have to do laundry every day. House is very private if you are looking for that. Recommend getting a golf cart to get to beach, Seaside etc. Overall house is a good value for the area. It satisfied our needs.
