Welcome to Buying Time



LOCATION, LOCATION, LOCATION!  This 1947 historic, two-bedroom is exactly that, a 1947 built old school Seagrove Beach cottage.  It has been painted and decorated.  That’s it.  It has the original doors, windows and plumbing. It is a quirky cottage, even the laundry room is located in the garage. The cabinets and appliances were updated in the 80’s – but nothing since then.  So, what we are saying here is if you are looking for the new modern beach home, this is not for you. The old look and feel to the structure will touch on all of your senses.  If you are looking for the way people used to vacation at the beach, this is for you and Buying Time can’t wait to have you. Can you guess why the owners call it that !



Downstairs you will find the kitchen, dining area, and living room with a flat screen TV. There is also a bathroom complete with a mudroom perfect for cleaning sandy feet after a long day at the beach. In the afternoon you can open the French doors to the screened-in porch and hear the sound of the waves.



Up the spiral staircase to the second floor, you will find most of the sleeping quarters with three rooms: a queen master, a guest room with 2 full beds, and a bunk nook with a twin bunk bed.



Please be advised there is a studio attached that is rented separately.

From upscale boutiques to casual cafes, this beach neighborhood offers a little bit of everything — including two rare coastal dune lakes, a state park, and sugar-white sand. Pack a picnic, fishing pole, and binoculars — and witness how stunning Seagrove is in its all-natural state. Its sugar-white sand has been a peaceful retreat in South Walton for decades; here, old and new Gulf Coast style merge to create a charming beach neighborhood with everything one may need for a truly relaxing getaway.

    My book club took a little beach get away and had the most amazing time. The cottage is super close to the beach so we were able to go back forth very easily. We biked the mile route to Seaside in the mornings for coffee. The cottage is decorated perfectly for a girlfriend getaway and we had plenty of space for everyone to spread out and relax. Take me back!!

    The check in process was not easy. They told us to submit pics of our licenses right before we arrived and I wish we had been sent that requirement weeks in advance instead of the day before... because I had to do it while we were driving down. Then once we got the code we entered it at the door right by the garage, but eventually learned that code didn't work because there is an additional private residence at the same property. We had no idea this wasn't an independent residence. We were never able to get the garages to open which made unloading suitcases and groceries difficult. Once inside, we thought we were in the wrong place because it wasn't like the pictures we booked. It was cute, but they changed the wallpaper, most of the decorative furnishings were different (different porch decor, painted pieces of furniture different colors, different pillows) the confusing additional residence that took us by surprise made us think we were in the wrong house for a bit. The listing has since updated pics though- The pics posted are now accurate. For people to know- the second bathroom is is a weird location. It is off the the pantry and has a door to the outside. The location of the home was PERFECT though and had us overlooking all the other things. We could walk right across to the beach and it had a great porch to keep all the sandy items outside of the house. Overall, it would be great for a quick trip.

    We have vacationed at 30A many times and it never disappoints. This house has an excellent location! Exactly as advertised in listing. Very close to the beach and the square. We had a great stay!

    We loved this house! The location was perfect. The description is accurate- that it is not a luxury accommodation, but being so close to the beach is the greatest luxury in my book. It was so convenient. And the interior is not bad by any means. We all loved the cottage chic decor and the vintage feel of the place. All of the appliances worked well, and there is an outdoor shower that cut down on the amount of sand we tracked in. The porch was large and lovely to have during an afternoon downpour and for relaxing evenings. I would warn that this would not be an ideal accommodation for someone with mobility issues. (I care for my elderly mother and she would have had a hard time with the tubs/showers - and climbing the stairs up from the beach.) But for us- it was perfect! We rode the bikes into Seaside and could easily have walked there as well. I would definitely stay here again!!

    We went with a small family group. The weather didn't cooperate, but the sun porch made for a perfect Plan B picnic spot!

    Our family of 8 stayed at this property for Spring Break. It was perfect! We had plenty of room for everyone. The screen porch was great for morning coffee and relaxing after a long day at the beach. You are steps away from beach access. Easy trip to restaurants and shopping via bike or golf cart. House is a bit older as advertised, but cutely decorated and clean. Bedrooms are upstairs and accessible by spiral staircase. Might be a problem for those with small children or people with mobility issues. We had a wonderful time and would definitely rent this house again.

    I cannot express how great my stay was at Buying Time! The description of the property is spot on. I was looking for a stay that reminded me of my childhood days on 30a, that was close to the beach and close to Seaside. This place was it. Morning coffee on the porch listening to the waves and quick bike rides into Seaside for shopping and visits with friends. Love it! And those white fluffly towels.....Great trip and much needed relaxation, fun and family.
