Grove by the Sea - Heated Community Pool

Welcome to Making Memories by Kismet Properties of 30A!

*Heated Community Pool November 1- January 1, March 15- May 15*

***Primary renter must be 25 or older.

This beautiful colorfully decorated house is named 'Making Memories' because our wish is it will give everyone HAPPY memories! The interior is freshly painted and there are many original whimsical paintings throughout the home, including some by my daughter Tricia Robinson who is a popular full-time artist.

Making Memories is located off Highway 30A in Seagrove Beach, in the lovely community of Grove by the Sea. It is less than a mile from Seaside with all its shops and attractions (without the higher rental prices). Also, a large Publix grocery store is nearby about 1.5 miles. There are many great state parks nearby, like Eden State Park (3.5 mi).

Our house is painted in a light teal blue on the exterior and has an access ramp which makes easy access for wheelchairs (and wagons and strollers). Please contact owner for more details about handicapped accessibility.

All four bedrooms and the living area downstairs have new flat screen TVs and cable.

The main floor features a large wrap-around screened-in porch with plenty of rockers, a porch swing, and a bench sofa in a nice sitting area plus a table for outside dining. "Sparkle Lights" go around the porch to add an extra touch at night. The house has wireless Internet connection for all of us tablet and laptop lovers. The main floor is open with a spacious, fully furnished kitchen, dining area, and living room. The dining table seats 8-10 plus 3 more at the bar. There is a full bath and a laundry area with iron and ironing board and the large washer and dryer are off the kitchen. The cheery first floor bedroom has twin beds and French doors to the screened porch.

On the 2nd floor you'll find two roomy and colorful bedrooms with queen beds, private bathrooms, TV, DVD, and doors leading out to the porch. Enjoy the sitting in the trees with its bistro table and chairs, a comfy bench sofa, rocker, and porch swing for just relaxing or sipping coffee or your favorite beverages. You can also take a soothing bath in the jetted tub in the master bathroom.

Go up the stairs to the "tower room" and find a great area for the kids or a get-away for adults with a newly added air conditioner to make the room more comfortable. The new door in the stairway also adds to keeping the room cool. There is a TV and DVD player and a wet bar boasting a sink and fridge. Each end of that room has balconies overlooking the lovely homes and streets of the community. You can get a breath-taking view of the starry night-time skies. There is sleeping for 4 with two sets of bunk beds. There is also a table and 4 chairs for games, writing, and more.

Outside the house you'll find a secluded shady yard with the sweet scent of magnolia trees. The outside shower is a convenient way to wash away the sand. There are water toys for the pool or beach.

THERE IS PARKING FOR 3 VEHICLES. NO PARKING ON THE STREET. NO SMOKING AND PETS ARE NOT ALLOWED.

Primary Renter must be 25 years old or older.

Amazing house
The house was fantastic… spacious and clean with lots of room on the porches for hanging out. The online pictures really don’t do it justice… it’s such a great house. We walked to the beach daily and it’s a short walk to restaurants. Highly recommend!!

Making Memories was Fantastic
The house was beautiful and much nicer than the pictures made it look in the listing. We had 10 in our party and it was comfortable. The location was great and we simply walked or biked to the beach. The beach was clean and the water was blue. Great place to stay. I hope to come back one day.

Relaxing!
We really enjoyed our stay! The neighborhood was great and quiet! Took us a couple days to get use to the walk to the beach as it was a bit longer than we were use to but was an easy walk and easy beach access, never crowded on the beach. Pools were great too! Would stay again! Loved that the family room accommodated our entire group so that we could enjoy a couple movie nights!

Making Memories
The house is cute, plenty of space, and great neighborhood. You can’t go wrong staying here. We’ve stayed in this neighborhood numerous times. What would make this house great is a better equipped kitchen, a couple of beach chairs and even a couple of bikes. It would make it perfect. Overall a great house!

This was a lovely home! I would recommend new mattresses and pillows. Beds were not comfortable but otherwise it was a wonderful experience.
