Sabbatical has a prime Seaside location directly across from the beach at West Ruskin Pavilion and one block to downtown Seaside with over 35 shops and restaurants just steps from your front door. Arrive at a private driveway and park in front, and you are greeted by two expansive open-air porches that run the length of the home, both up and down. The first-floor open-air porch has a cushioned bench swing and additional Adirondack seating for two more, a perfect morning coffee spot while you listen to the waves crash from your front porch.

Step inside the elegant and classically inspired arched doorways and vaulted ceilings, Sabbatical will simply delight! Meander inside where you are welcomed by the downstairs formal living room with ample seating for many throughout, a large flat-screen Apple TV, and a queen sleeper sofa. On the first floor, you will find two queen bedrooms, each with its own private ensuite bathroom. The first queen bedroom has a corner-mounted private flat-screen TV and a renovated private bathroom with a single vanity and a glass-enclosed walk-in shower. The second queen bedroom down features a private flat screen mounted TV and a private recently renovated bathroom with a single vanity and a glass-enclosed walk-in shower.

Head upstairs to the open combined main living areas and kitchen, as well as the third king primary suite retreat. The kitchen has been updated and features all stainless steel appliances throughout, a double oven and induction stove top, black sleek countertops, and breakfast bar seating for four. Adjacent to the kitchen is the dining area for six that has access to the expansive open-air second-level porch that features gulf views from your balcony. The large open-air porch has two lounge seating areas and has amazing views of the West Ruskin Pavilion and the Gulf. This is the perfect evening spot to watch the sunset and enjoy an evening cocktail from your front porch.

The oversized king primary suite, also on the second floor, is absolutely scrumptious! There is a large open sitting area off the king bed with a queen sleeper sofa and two large club chairs. There is a large flat screen TV and two closets on either side of the TV. Perfect for working remotely is a desk overlooking 30A with town views. In the bedroom is a large soaker tub with a combination shower as well, and a private adjacent bathroom and vanity area.

Other bonuses include a fenced yard, additional Adirondack seating area for two off the front porch, a full washer and dryer in the laundry area on the rear porch, and an outdoor shower on the side of the home.

For additional room, check out the guest cottage, Dreamboat VRBO# 703064

    Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: This rental is beautiful! You can see the gulf from the balcony while enjoying morning coffee from Amanda. The rooms seem magical and the master upstairs is like a private hotel room. Highly recommend! Only downside is the outside shower - hard to access without a clean path.

    Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was very clean. I was very happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Would definitely stay here again! The property location and amenities were great and accurate. You can't beat the closeness to the beach. The primary room's king bed was so comfortable and the separate A/C for it was a dream. The 30A road noise/people didn't bother us from our room at night. The 2 bedrooms downstairs were good with great bathrooms and walk in showers. We do wish the primary bathroom was bigger. It was so nice to have a smart tv in every room and the kids played board games that were available. Kitchen was nice, however, that part of the house did to cool off well - probably due to all the windows and French doors on that side. The only real problem we had was roaches. The management came and brought us traps and spray right away. We aren't super freaked out by them but I could see how it may bother other visitors a lot. Hopefully they will be gone next time or for the next people. Thank you for letting us stay and use your home - it really is lovely and we would stay again for sure.

    The location was perfect! Close to the square and beach access. The house was fully stocked with everything we needed and more. The upper balcony was perfect for a morning coffee and people watching with a view of the Gulf. The house does have a lot of stairs and steps but we needed the added exercise. The house was so close we didn’t even get the teens bikes. They walked everywhere.

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Great location, very short walk to Seaside village and the beach. Good outdoor space with porches on first and second floor. Two beach towels and a beach bag were provided which was a nice touch. General floorplan layout could be difficult for some people with lots of stairs. Master suite had tiny bathroom with a clawfoot tub in the middle of the room.

    Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was very clean. I was very happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We have rented Sabbatical many times and Dreamboat once. All-in -all the condition of the property has been good. There was an issue with the leak in the closet in the downstairs left bedroom. The maintenance crew was quick to respond. There was still a drip, drip, drip sound after they left. The closet did not show any more water. Since the property is one of the oldest properties (Dreamboat icluded) plumbing issues, perhsps the owners need to think about taking on the expense of correcting the issue.

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: I am a single parent (widowed) with two children pre/early teens. The kids love the location and the cool house. The kitchen and dinning area opens up to the upstairs porch with Sonos sound, great for sitting, visiting, games, cocktails, etc. When you stay at Sabbatical, you may ask yourself Sabbatical or Serenity?
