Time spent on 30A is always a treat with beautiful views, quality time and coastal style like nowhere else.

If you don’t know 30A, this gorgeous stretch of beach towns is a favorite in Florida and its popularity reaches well beyond the south. Between Destin and Panama City is a stretch of scenic, unique beach neighborhoods that include Rosemary Beach, Seaside, Alys Beach, Seacrest and Grayton Beach … just to name a few.

Jami Ray Into the Mystic Oversee Rentals Seacrest Beach Gulf Front

In this post, I’m sharing all about our staycation with Oversee Rentals, one of the premier rental companies along 30A. Oversee offers exquisite escapes and cozy cottages whether you’re looking for a romantic trip for two or a full-on family adventure. I love that Oversee is a local company that is passionate about our hometown beaches and offers guests top-notch customer service. If we needed anything during our stay, they’re available and able to help.

Now, more about the condo…

Where We Stayed

Seacrest Beach is on the eastern end of 30A, conveniently located between Watersound and Alys Beach. This particular stretch is not a developed resort neighborhood like some of the others nearby, so it truly feels like a retreat. There are no regional beach accesses with parking in this immediate stretch of Seacrest, so having a prime rental location is essential. Being able to walk or bike to the beach is a huge bonus, but what’s even better than that is a Gulf-front property

We stayed at Into the Mystic, an adorable condo overlooking sand dunes and the gorgeous turquoise waters of the gulf.

The style of this home is so simple and chic with a bright and airy aesthetic. I loved how much it felt like home. From the cane and wood bed in the primary suite to the appliances and nugget ice maker in the kitchen to the comfy patio furniture I watched sunrises and sunsets, it’s easy to fall in love with this 30A rental.

What to Do Near Seacrest Beach

With so many fun places within walking and biking distance, it’s easy to fill your stay with as much (or as little) adventure as you like. Oversee Rentals provides beach chairs and bike rentals along, so I highly recommend taking full advantage. Here are a few options nearby:

  • bike to The Big Chill for sports and movies on the big screen plus multiple food options for the whole family
  • walk to Alys Beach to stroll the neighborhood and take in the iconic architecture, grab an açaí bowl at Raw & Juicy or lunch at Fonville Press
  • during spring and summer season, bike to Rosemary Beach for weekly kids activities including movie night on the green and children’s theatre performances
  • drive to Seaside to shop fun stores like Cabana, The Seaside Style and Duckie’s. Grab a giant mimosa at Modica or lunch with a view at Bud & Alley’s.
  • make your way to 30Avenue for tasty food options like Amici or Amigos, shopping at Becasa or Willow, pampering at Blush Beauty Lounge or brunch at Canopy Road

You can filter with features such as beachfront home, private pool, pet-friendly space, or even a complimentary golf-cart. The Gulf-front location of Into the Mystic was incredible and if you stay here too, I’d love to hear about it!

5 things I’m reading, watching or listening to t 5 things I’m reading, watching or listening to this week

(Side note: this might seem like a lot, but let me explain. When I have a ton of design work and editing, I tend to go overboard consuming media as I work. It’s like having a comfort show playing, but I prefer not to repeat much.)

- The Last Thing He Told Me on AppleTV with Jennifer Garner (loved the book and so far enjoying the adaptation - suspenseful and interesting) 

- Happy Place by Emily Henry (a cute beach read about a couple dragging out the end of their relationship so they don’t have to tell their friend group they’ve called off their engagement)

- Smartless Podcast recent-ish episodes with Eugene Levy, Tracee Ellis Ross and John Krasinski (the banter of the hosts Will Arnett, Sean Hayes and Jason Bateman is always gold)

- The Night Agent on Netflix (a political thriller series about a cute FBI agent working the night desk trying to save the nation as he works to uncover a government mole and a killer).

- Queen Charlotte on Netflix (a Bridgerton prequel sharing more of young Charlotte’s start as a royal with plenty of opulence to admire and a soundtrack to hum all day)

Any recommendations for when I reach the end of this current list?

TGIF. A few things about me: Fridays are fabulous TGIF. A few things about me:

Fridays are fabulous. 

I love a perfectly punctuated sentence. 

I can appreciate a spontaneous adventure and may or may not decide one morning to drive 6 hours and book Taylor Swift tickets 2 hours before showtime.

I tend to develop a pretty addictive bubble gum habit when my to-do list gets long.

I love a good piña colada - poolside or beachfront preferable.

I have a dress for any occasion and once went about a year without wearing jeans or pants (dresses only).

I'm probably running late for something as I’m typing this.
