Come for the Beach View and stay for the Food!

The amenities were wonderful and Karen was super helpful and responsive before and during our stay. We just wish the lagoon pool was heated since we went in October, but the beach/ ocean were a perfect temperature. Highly recommend staying here!

Everything was perfect! Our location was close to the pool, tram, shopping, and the beach. The multiple balconies were awesome. The third floor was our favorite with balconies on each side with a nice view of the gulf. We thought Seacrest was less busy than Seaside and preferred this location. Karen, our property manager, was especially helpful and accommodating to our needs. We definitely will return!

Everything was amazing!

The house was clean and well maintained. We loved it! Karen was extremely helpful at a moment’s notice. She was a great resource. Highly recommend this property.

The house was beautiful and clean. Great location, we loved that we could walk to so many restaurants and shops! Highly recommend the house and host! Only negative is the beach access, it is the smallest section of a beach I’ve ever seen and it’s for a very large neighborhood. I know we were there in the craziness of Summer but still. You had to rent a chair to even get close to the water and even then we were 4 rows back.

This property is perfectly located with only a 5 minute walk to the beach. It is just across 30A which makes it very walkable to restaurants and shopping. The beds were comfortable and the house has everything you need for your stay. Karen, our host, was very responsive to make sure we had everything we needed and was quick to answer any questions I had about the area and the house. We loved this house and would definitely stay here again.

We had a wonderful week staying at Southern Waves! The house was clean, comfortable, and had everything we needed for a relaxing vacation. Everything was in perfect proximity—beach access, shops, restaurants—it couldn’t have been more convenient.Karen was incredibly responsive and helpful throughout our stay, quickly answering any questions we had and making the whole process easy and stress-free.We truly enjoyed our time here and would absolutely stay again. Highly recommend!

Southern Waves is in a fantastic location between Rosemary and Alys Beach. We chose it for its close beach access and resort-style pool—and both delivered! The home is beautiful, comfortable, well-stocked, and communication with the owner was outstanding. We especially enjoyed the fireworks views and truly appreciated how well-cared-for the home was.That said, during peak weeks, expect crowds. This isn’t the fault of the homeowner, just a reality of the popular SeaCrest community. Much of the beach is reserved for chair service (75/day for two chairs/umbrella), leaving limited space for others. No wagons or canopies are allowed, and beach security strictly monitors boundaries. We were up early many mornings just to claim a spot.The pool is lovely but often full, with guests holding chairs for long periods—even when not using them—which made it tough to enjoy at times.Despite that, we had a great stay. The home was peaceful, relaxing, and ideal for quality family time. We’ll definitely return—just during a quieter week. Highly recommend this property and host!

The house was beautiful and very clean. I’m pretty picky about cleanliness and it met my standards. Karen was easy to work with and very responsive.

This home is spotless and beautifully decorated, with thoughtful details throughout. The location couldn’t be better—easy bike rides or short walks get you just about anywhere you want to go. The beach and pool are only a few minutes away, and the third-floor balconies offer a lovely ocean view—perfect for morning coffee or evening cocktails. Karen is an incredibly generous and responsive host. As first-time visitors to 30A, we really appreciated all the helpful tips she shared. She checked in with us mid-week and was quick to answer any questions. Highly recommend!

Perfect family vacation! Beautiful home and perfect location to walk to everything! My 5 year old gasped “Oh my gosh!” when she got to the top of the “Princess Tower” and saw the view!

We absolutely loved our stay at this house! The location was perfect—just a short walk to the beach and close to everything we needed in both Alys and Rosemary. The home itself was newer, very clean, and thoughtfully designed. We especially enjoyed the third-floor area, which offered ocean views and a great place to relax in the evenings. The layout and condition of the property exceeded our expectations. Highly recommend!

Loved the location to both Rosemary and Alys Beach. The home was clean and beautiful!

We loved everything about our stay! Our host was very communicative and went above and beyond for our stay making sure we had everything we needed! All amenities were conveniently located. We loved our location. We hope to be back!!

Host was on top of everything, constant communication. Home is beautiful and in a perfect spot between Rosemary, Aly's, pool, shopping and beach. Highly recommend this listing.

Enjoyed our stay. Lovely property, perfect location. Would definitely book again.

This house was perfect for our vacation. Clean, easy walking to the beach, restaurants and shops, and just off the 30A bike path. Karen was super helpful and easy to communicate with.

My wife and I stayed here for an long weekend and it was just an absolute joy. Proximity to Alys beach and Rosemary was perfect. Great restaurants, easy beach access, and the property itself has wonderful gulf views and plenty of space. Our host was wonderful with communication and we will be booking again in the future very soon!
