AREA ATTRACTIONS:
Seaside is a fantastic destination, most widely known for being featured in The Truman Show with Jim Carrey. Its incredible architecture has helped to make it famous, but also its faithful replication of the kind of seaside town that used to be common up and down the coast. Seaside has its own Farmer's Market, post office, Repertory Theater, and neighborhood school. It boasts unique shopping, fantastic cuisine, and the incredible architecture that makes Seaside famous. There are activities for everyone; kayak rentals, bike rentals, paragliding, fishing, golfing, hiking, swimming, tennis -- you'll find it all right here.
Bike over to Blue Mountain Beach Creamery for some homemade scoops that will have your taste buds coming back! You'll have an array of dining options to choose from!
The snorkelers in your group will love the new artificial reef called Sea Turtle Reef, deployed in 2017. Located just 783 feet out from the Grayton Beach State Park access, it is becoming a haven for sea life. Each of the 4 snorkeling reefs comprises 40 acres of permitted sea bottom. The Sea Turtle Reef is at a depth of 12-19 feet. We strongly recommend that snorkelers use a kayak, paddleboard, or other flotation device when visiting the snorkel reefs. Sea conditions can and do change quickly and often. Enjoy!

House was as listed. Quite area. Short drive to beach. A few minor issues, but Management handled promptly. Great vacation! Oh and the bikes were great!
Great house, wonderful amenities, perfect location!
Beautiful house in Blue Mountain Beach. Wonderful location; quiet neighborhood. We did not use the pool as the weather was somewhere that we spent everyday at the beach. House is well equipped for anything you could want and need! Love the convenience of having the 4 bikes that come with house rental, and I highly recommend adding the golf cart onto your rental. The house is too far from the beach to not need it! RealJoy , the management service, was very communicative and easy
To get in touch with .
Loved the stay here, house had everything you need to enjoy a weeks back vacation. Very close to beach access by car or bike. Very comfortable beds, and plenty of space for 9 people in our group.
Only thing not supplied were beach towels.
Pool was very nice as well!
This was our first time to the area and this property was exactly what we wanted and needed. Plenty of room for everyone to spread out (with 5 kids ages 9-16 this was super impt!) but plenty of space to hang all together as well. Immaculately clean and decorated just enough - beachy without being tacky lol. Easy walk to the pool and beach access was a breeze. We really enjoyed our stay here!
The property was great. The cleaning could have been a little better as we found hair in the bathroom, slow draining tub and some cigarette butts outback..other than that the place was perfect. Also they only provided 1 towel per person and no spare toilet paper rolls.
We LOVED our stay at Sunshine Shack. The kitchen was well stocked. The AC worked great!! There are 3 full baths 1 powder room. We loved having 3 comfortable King Size beds and ample outdoor seating!! The pool is great and has golf cart parking space. We didn’t see it anywhere in the listing but we were able to park 3 cars in the driveway - including a large SUV. We would have loved to have a TV in the “kids room.” 2 of our young adults slept in there and that was a miss for them. The back door “sticks” quite a bit and the smoke alarm was super sensitive to the toaster. But those were entirely manageable. Communication through the app prior to arrival was not great. But once we connected with RealJoy property management, they were great. RealJoy was super responsive to our needs during our stay.We enjoyed meals at 3 Sons BBQ and Shunk Gulley. Delicious food at Mimos Italian where people dressed UP and DOWN. Reservations recommended for Mimos.We found beach access and space to be manageable but needed the golf cart due to distance. Super easy ride on the cart, though. Parking in Seaside was a real challenge for us. Recommend taking an Uber or having someone drop you off. My husband literally parked 1.5 miles away after dropping us off. But we had good food and lots of shopping opportunities there! We did a beach bonfire with Native and highly recommend it!! Brandon took great care of us!!Thanks for a great stay in 30A!!
Property was as advertised. The cleanliness was what you’d expect to get from nice hotels, so had clean linens and towels. Would definitely recommend for large families looking for a beach vacation.
La casa está súper hermosa muy limpia y con casi todo lo necesario para una estancia por varios días lastima que solo estuve un fin de semana 😕 me la pase súper bien con mis amistades en este lugar súper recomendable 😁👍
House we perfect for hosting two families with kids. New, clean and well stocked. Easy enough access to Blue Mnt Beach but a great pool area for days where you need a break. All in all this is what you would want in a VRBO.
Beautiful new house near the beach. Very very clean. Having the bikes and the bike trail in our backyard was awesome! Nice beach town. Highly recommend staying here
