My family absolutely loved our stay at Beyond the Sea. We are a family of five (7 and 9 year old) and our pup! There was plenty of space for everyone and the kids loved the Tower Room! It was the perfect place for them to call home for the week. The balcony from the Master Suite was also perfect! We could sit and enjoy coffee or an adult beverage at night and enjoy the family friendly neighborhood (not loud at all).
From the time we booked, we had excellent communication with the owners. Whenever we had a question, there was a response within minutes. They made it easy!
Beyond the Sea had everything you needed for a successful beach trip! There were beach toys, chairs, bikes, umbrellas, pool noodles and a wagon. The walk was super easy (about an 8 minute walk to the beach at most). The house is at the front of the complex so it was so easy to make the trip back and forth to the beach to let our pup out! When we were booking Beyond the Sea, we debated on it because of the distance from the beach that previous visitors mentioned. It was easy and quick!
We enjoyed morning walks to the local coffee shop (Sunrise Coffee), local restaurants (Stinkyâs, Goatfeathers, Los Rancheros, and Grayton Seafood). On the walk to the beach there is a rental place that also has amazing snacks and ice cream! We loved the Jalepeno and Mac and Cheese bites. So delish! The ice cream is also amazing and you get a ton per scoop.
This house is super close to so many things! We were about 15 minutes from Baytowne Wharf - super fun place for families! We rented a boat in Destin (Crab Island) and the drive back was longer due to the traffic. I would recommend not driving back to the house from Destin in the late afternoon. Iâve been coming to this area for the past 30 years and the traffic continues to get worse and worse!
Overall, Beyond the Sea was wonderful! It has everything you need to have a perfect vacation! Highly recommend and we hope to be back!
