Sandalwood is located in Magnolia Dunes, a private 16-home community located on Scenic 30A in the town of Seagrove. 30A is an idyllic Florida scenic highway which strolls through the towns of Blue Mountain Beach, Grayton Beach, Watercolor, Seaside, Seagrove, and Rosemary Beach. Sandalwood is located about a block from the beach, a short 3-4 minute walk. While it is a snap to walk to, there is a nice drop-off at the beach access that you can drive/or bike up to, if desired.

We loved our vacation in this beautiful home!

Beautiful home! We had everything we needed for our vacation! Communication with the home owners was fabulous! The house itself is comfortable and spacious! We enjoyed the golf cart to head to Seaside or our beach access. There is a beach access about 5 blocks away.which we loved. I will definitely stay here again! There is also a closer beach access within walking distance but due to construction at that access we chose the farther one.

30A Gem

My sisters and I booked Carlene and Mark's place for a 60th birthday trip. The house was spacious, and clean, and provided all amenities including beach chairs, umbrellas, bikes, a golf cart, a wide assortment of dishes and glassware, and lots of the same comforts as a regular home. The neighborhood was extremely quiet and convenient. If you have a group, I would highly recommend.

Seagrove Beach Perfect Location

This house was perfect for our group to enjoy the beach, which was only a few minutes walk, or the heated pool right across the street, or the nearby ice cream shop, restaurants, general stores & more. We also enjoyed that this house was a block off the Highway 30A so we easily got to neighboring beach towns, too. And our hosts were super responsive, within minutes every time we had a question or needed a recommendation. We had a flat tire on one of our bikes and it was fixed within 10 minutes, which was fantastic! Superior house in a superior location with superior service!! We can't wait to get back to 30A and we definitely have this house on our short list!!

Beautiful 30A beach home

We had a great experience staying at this 30A beach home. The house was gorgeous, clean, and perfect for our family. The convenience that the golf cart provided, along with a close beach access made this week with 2 small children a breeze. The closest beach access is across the road and diagonal from the street where this house is located. Less than a 5 minute walk or a 1 min cart ride. This property is a very close drive (within a 5 minute care or golf cart ride) to many fantastic restaurants, coffee shops, grocery store, and bars. Needless to say if you are considering staying here, dont hesitate. Thank you again!

Such attention to detail with the owners of this home. Owners are so generous and easy to communicate with. Everything was so well stocked and thought out. Beach chairs, sand toys, wagon, beach towels were so appreciated! Beautiful kitchen with all utensils and cookware you'd ever need. Easy three minute walk to a beautiful beach. The little neighborhood is so quiet and peaceful. Walkable shops/restaurants in each direction. Publix is five minutes away for groceries. We will stay here again if we return to 30a!
