"We had a very nice girls trip with 12 women in our family. The house was exactly as the photos depicted except that the kitchen is on the 2nd floor with no elevator or dumbwaiter to help out. It is nice that it is on the 2nd floor because it takes advantage of the ocean views but still daunting to get supplies for 12 people to the 2nd floor with no men to help!! The location was perfect but getting in and out on 30A can be a little tricky so be careful. We were able to park 6 cars with just a little thought to get everyone in and out easily. We loved having a pool but also being a 5 min walk to the beach. There are some glaring design flaws with the house - like the only way to the pool is either through the 2 back bedrooms or out the front door and around the side of the house. There should be steps on the side of the front porch for easier access to the pool, there should be a drink fridge & ice maker downstairs so you don’t have to go upstairs from the pool to get water."

"Best stay ever! - My family and friends had the best time ever at Kiwi Grove. We've stayed there a few times and every time we had a blast. You can't beat the size of the home, the kitchen, and the bedrooms! No one felt crowded or cramped. The management company was super responsive to any concern we had. You also can't beat the proximity of the beach to the home. Literally across the street. I highly recommend staying at Kiwi Grove. You won't be disappointed."

"Nice house and great location. - Nice house with plenty of space. Loved the 2nd story balcony with a good view of the ocean. Kitchen huge and very well stocked.
The pool area was also very nice and had plenty of seating and lounging space. Given that this property sits directly on a heavily traveled section of 30A, I was a bit uncomfortable with the fact that there was no lock whatsoever on the gate going into the pool area.
I would suggest the listing be more clear about the fact that the kitchen and main living space is upstairs. Not a problem for our group but would be an issue for anyone who had problems with mobility.
Would recommend and would stay here again"

Beds and linens were excellent and kitchen was well stocked (only needs pot holders, extra dish towels and some light bulbs replaced) A/C kept both levels comfortable. The furniture was comfortable and appropriate for families with children. The enormous dining table allowed 13 of us to dine together.. Having a private pool was an added plus. Highly recommend this home. Provided many memories for our family."

"Great property! - We had a great experience and this property lived up to the hype. This property is spacious and beautifully decorated. Incredibly convenient to shopping, dining and only a few steps to the beach. We had 3 families with kids ranging from 7-18 years and the accommodations were perfect . There was a sink in the bunk room that was clogged, which we reported and they offered immediately to come out and repair, but bc we had another full bath we weren’t using it was no problem and we told the management company there was no need to come and repair until after we left. But, we were impressed with the quick response!
Pool was great, especially for evening and late afternoons when everyone needed a break from the beach.
The property had a very well stocked kitchen and we wanted for nothing on the evenings we cooked in.
Would definitely stay again."

"Family vacation - The property was beautiful and we enjoyed the spacious kitchen/family room and the layout of the house. Bedrooms were great and spaced out well for privacy and noise. We have 10 grandchildren under 13 and we enjoyed the pool, the upstairs balcony eating area, the great room and the beach. Also loved all the games available for the family to play. Although we didn’t need it, the baby bed and baby gates and high chair are a great idea as are the rails on the bunk beds! Beach access was a slight problem as our access area was under construction, but we made the best of it. Traffic was very busy and a small issue for us with children, as some drove too fast. Overall we had a wonderful time. Thanks for sharing your home with us."

Stayed July 2017
"Excellent Space - Our family of 12 (6 adults and 6 tweens) really enjoyed this space. It had ample sleeping arrangements for everyone including 3 king beds for the adults. 2 separate rooms for separating the kids. The kitchen/living area was a great size which fit everyone comfortably. We loved the large family dining table and the huge island which allowed everyone to gather and talk while we cooked.
The beach access was directly across the street and there was ample parking for 3 large SUV's and a golf cart.
The kids really enjoyed the pool area.
The only minor issues were that the grill had not been maintained. Even after cleaning it, letting the the debris burn off, all of the meat still caught on fire and we had to abort our family dinner for the night. We opted to not use the grill for the remainder of the stay.
The house is approx 1.2 miles from Seaside center. May be slightly too far with families with small children to ride bikes or walk. However, it is not too far for the tweens. We also had a golf cart. The traffic was horrible which did not pose a problem for us right on 30A, nor was it too loud but it forced us to either ride bikes or golf cart it to the city center.
We were able to watch 4th of July fireworks from both the driveway and short walk to the beach. We had front row seats to the 4th of July parade which has been a family-favorite event for the last 8 years.
Lastly, the upscale decor with the greens and blues represented the beach atmosphere perfectly.
We thank the homeowner for opening up their house to our family. We truly enjoyed our stay and we have made some more great memories that we have taken home with us.
Until next year....."

The private pool is one of our favorite spots. Also sitting on the upper porch to have a cup of coffee in the morning or cocktail in the evening and see the ocean is so very relaxing! Seaside is such a beautiful little beach town. And this is the home we will always stay at. Can't wait to visit again!!"

"Great Location, Perfect for Families or Girls Trip - My friends and I have been renting Kiwi Grove for years and I'm never disappointed. We've done "girls" trips and couples trips and it is by far the best location on 30A. You can watch for dolphins from the front porch while enjoying your morning coffee. Five bathrooms and large spacious bedrooms make the stay so comfortable. My favorite part of the house is the wide open kitchen and living area upstairs. The massive table seats 12 and there's plenty of counter seats also. Killer stereo system makes staying in and hanging out with friends just as much fun, if not more, than going out! There's plenty of parking for everyone. The public beach access directly across the street (with handicap ramp) makes hauling chairs, coolers, umbrellas and all your other beach gear a breeze. The owners obviously take great care of this home -- we've never had any issues. LOVE LOVE LOVE Kiwi Grove."

"Love, Love, Love this beach house! Perfect for family and friends at holiday time! - Kiwi Grove is a beautiful, roomy and comfortable beach house with a fun front porch that has a fabulous view of the gulf. The beds are very comfortable and the showers are the best! The kitchen/den open - so great for cooking/eating in and watching football. And the smaller tv room downstairs was a great place for the kids to hang when they needed a break from the adults. The heated pool was a great extra for the kids! The beach is so close and the public beach access has one of the only ramps (vs steep stairs) down to the sand which was great for kids and elders, too - we had both in our group. We also loved biking and walking down to Seaside, Watercolor and Rosemary for eating and shopping. We will book Kiwi Grove for our next 30A vacation!

The bedrooms are well appointed with lovely linens (and I'm picky) and comfy beds. The home is walking distance to restaurants and the fun of Seaside. We loved our stay at Kiwi Grove and hope to make it back again. "

"Best House on 30-A - Wow - what a beautiful, spacious, luxury home with a front porch view of the gulf. Kiwi Grove is a few steps front the front door to the public access which has restroom facilities and a ramp to the sand. Having lifeguards is a nice touch too. Kiwi Grove was the perfect setup for our family reunion with more than enough private beds and baths for everyone and plenty of hanging out space downstairs in the game room, on the balconies, or by the private pool. We loved being biking and walking distance to Seaside and other great restaurants. This house has not missed a single detail and has a fully stocked kitchen too to cook up fresh seafood. We had such a great time we have booked the same week for next year! Thank you for a wonderful week in Sea Grove. "

"Remarkable home, remarkable location - I had a great time with my family at Kiwi Grove. The house is situated close to the beach, dining, shops, and Seaside. We never ran out of things to do. Every room in the house is large and most have their own private baths. The pool area is where we spent most evenings. Mornings were spent on the balcony looking out at the bay. Everything you need is in the over-sized kitchen. Perhaps most important to us was the responsiveness of the homeowners. They were responsive to every question we had, both before and during our stay. Totally recommend!!"

"A Great Get-Away! - We loved everything about it! The home is laid out perfectly for our 3 couples(all had king sized beds) and my daughter and her husband had the "suite" upstairs with their baby. The bunk room will be great as we grow! We were close enough to Seaside to walk or ride bikes, but not be in all the hustle the whole time. Close enough for all the best restaurants and a beautiful view of the beach from the rocking chairs on the balcony. Perfect for morning coffee. Just a short walk to the ramp going down to the ocean, but he pool was one of the best things b/c we could take the baby monitor and not miss getting sun! Love the safety alarm on the doors out to the pool for small children, and really loved the family room upstairs. All kinds of movies and games for everyone. It's not only beautiful, but very comfy and they have thought of everything...even a pack-n-play for the baby! Thanks so much for sharing your beautiful home with us. This was our 2nd time there and we plan to go back!"

This is truly a beautiful area. We will definitely be back. I am also telling my friends about it."

"Kiwi Grove - Wow!! What a fantastic vacation. My wife, two teenage daughters (and one brought a friend) and I had the most amazing time. The house was absolutely beautiful! The rooms were huge and the girls spent the first hour going room to room to claim their spots. The entertainment area upstairs was the gathering place the entire trip. We ate dinner together, played games, watched TV and movies and played on our computers.
The beach is right across the street and the view from the upstairs porch is wonderful, especially with a cup of coffee in the morning.
My wife and I walked each morning to Seaside and had breakfast at the market while the girls chose to ride bikes. The bike paths are everywhere and made it easy for the girls to do things on their own when they chose. In the afternoons my wife and I relaxed at the beach while the girls alternated between the beach and the pool.
I have stayed in the Seagrove Beach area a half dozen times but never in such style.
If you want a vacation to remember this is the place to stay!!
Thanks Stan and Amy

"Thanks, Amy & Stan! The ... - Thanks, Amy & Stan! The house was absolutely perfect. We all commented that the pictures on the listing don't do it justice. It's even more wonderful in person! We had four couples and 6 kids, and we had plenty of room. The BEST part of the house is the enormous open common space upstairs with the kitchen & den. The kitchen is huge with tons of counter space, and it overlooks the den so we could keep an eye on the roaming toddlers. It was so nice that there was a place for all 8 adults to sit in the den without feeling on top of each other. Ditto for the enormous kitchen table. We loved to sit on the porch and look at the ocean. There were lots of places for pack 'n plays, though I recommend bringing a fan or noise machine if you have a bedroom downstairs. (FYI - 3 bedrooms downstairs - 2 kings with private baths and the bunk room with private bath, 2 bedrooms upstairs - king room and two queen room, sharing bath). The ONLY small downside is that the bedrooms upstairs have to share a bath, while there are FOUR full bathrooms downstairs. But each bedroom is really nice. The pool is fabulous - especially after a long day at the beach. And it is just a short walk to the beach. We had a wagon & were able to easily tote beach chairs & toys down the ramp (which is much harder when you just have steps). The location is ideal - super close to Seaside. It's a really great house, and I would definitely rent it again! We loved our stay!!!!"

" The entire family loved... - The entire family loved every minute of living at Vacherie this week. Mackenzie, 10, said it best: I [heart] this house best of all! We've stayed in several VRBO homes, but this one fit us best of all, from the spacious pool room just perfect for endless games of Wii, to the wide-open family area where we cooked, ate and painted pictures. We did have a mishap - a plastic pitcher broke, so we replaced it with a palm-tree pitcher to match the gorgeous trees in the front lawn. The balcony with rocking chairs was a huge hit with adults seeking a few minutes solace from our madding crowd.
Thanks for sharing such a wonderful vacation place. Know that we'll be in touch for a return visit."

Even when the neighbors were outside at their pool, there was plenty of privacy. I liked being able to walk to the fitness classes just down the road. We also found a great restaurant, Angelina's within walking distance. Thanks for a great vacation. I will recommend this house and community again and again."

The pool area is nice and the walk to the beach is short. The upstairs living area is very large which allowed the whole group to enjoy the area at once which is nice. But the thing that puts this house over the top is the pool table. The kids loved and the adults too.
Probably try to rent again next year.

"Words cannot describe how... - Words cannot describe how beautiful Vacherie is. I recently learned that it is named after a Louisiana plantation, and now I know why! Gorgeous, beautifully decorated, fabulous views, and every imaginable amenity. We rented this house sight unseen off the Internet, and I was a little worried...but as soon as we drove up we realized we had made an outstanding choice! We rented both Vacherie and Retreat (two side-by-side homes both rented by the same owner) for my parents' 50th Anniversary celebration and we have unforgettable memories of the experience. The dining room in Vacherie is unbelievable...we had dinners for up to 20+ people there, with 14 seated at the dining table and many others at the kitchen bar. We have rented in the Panhandle/Seaside area for years, and this was BY FAR the nicest place we've ever stayed. It's a vision of teal and pale green, the colors of the sea, with upscale decor and so many special touches. Bikes come with the home, the beach is right across the street, there's a pool table, plasma tvs, wireless internet access....there is something for everyone! What more could you want?? We had three generations in tow (grandparents, kids and grandkids) and it was the best family vacation we've had in the area. You need to rent this home!! The owners are great to work with and will really work with you to accommodate any special request. It is amazing and unforgettable, and we hope to return to the beautiful home and Seagrove Beach in the future. -- Lisa"

We had plenty of room for everyone! The master suite downstairs was beautiful and spacious. The walk-in closet had plenty of room for a pack & play for one baby. We were also able to fit a pack & play in the closet of the other king bedroom downstairs so the babies almost had their own rooms!
The house is decorated beautifully! The thing we liked most of all was that we felt comfortable there. Everything in the house is top quality. The bath towels were white and fluffy and the bed linens were soft and luxurious. This definately was not your "typical beach house where the owners put all their leftovers in it"! The kitchen was also well stocked.
We had wonderful communication with the owner that lives in the area. He called and stopped by to be sure we had everything we needed. From a safety standpoint, we also appreciated the door alarm for the back doors to the pool area.

However, we are pleased to report that the Vacherie Vacation Home not only exceeded our expectations but it was unquestionably more beautiful than the pictures and more remarkable than the description. The home was impeccably furnished throughout in a manner that exuded warmth and hospitality in an engaging Old Florida style. The attention to detail, inside and out, was obvious and very much appreciated (a special thanks for the ample parking area)! Signficantly, the home's charm was matched by its superb layout. The open upstairs family/living area was perfect for the 15 of us to gather for our traditional and treasured family meals and celebration time. The pool was an outstanding and welcomed daytime feature, especially for the kids, and the numerous rocking chairs on the second floor porch were particularly popular with the adults in the evening. Finally, with the unpredictable and unfortunate weather issues, we very much appreciated the outstanding cooperation and accommodation from the owners. We look forward to our return. "

We enjoyed renting bikes, swimming and kayaking. It was one of the most relaxing vacations we have taken in some time.
The landscaping was very well done and made it very enjoyable while sitting out on the decks and front porch. We really enjoyed sitting upstairs on the deck and letting the little ones run around with no access to stairs. We did a lot of people watching. They did a lot of looking as they went by too, the house is beautiful.
I was dreading the walk across the street to the beach, but it really was not bad. We usually stay on the beach side of the road, so weren't sure about the trek to the beach. It was nice having the ramp to the beach so we could roll the wagon with all our stuff in it so we didn't have to carry it.
The kitchen was very well equipped. The dishwasher was not working the week we were there, but there was plenty of soap to wash. We cooked in almost every meal since we had so many little ones and the kitchen was a great size.
It's a great place to stay. We enjoyed it.

I love to cook, so finding a kitchen with everything in it was a joy. And to watch everything going on around you and the ocean too, could not have been better.
One night we were watching a movie and the lights were all off, and we had the sound up, be we didn't know we had the outside speakers on, and one of had just come back from town, they said they could here it before they even got out of the car. Hope the neighbors didn't mind.
The pool was perfect and I loved that there were alarms at the doors so children couldn't go out without the someone knowing it. Because we had a 3 and 4 year old that love the water, so that was great.
We always bring garbage bags, paper towels, coffee filter, etc. This is the first house every that had those things. The best supplied kitchen in Florida.
I had changed my mind several time on which house to rent, and Dan was so good and understanding and helping me to make things work. And I loved just going right to the house, not having to go to a rental place first.
Thank You So Much

Two master bdrms, a third additional king bdrm and two additional bdrms are guaranteed to accommodate multiple families. This house is state of the art with an attention to detail.

Two of my brothers & families (14 in all) made the trek through LA -- Lower AL -- 🙂 to the most beautiful sandy beaches and emerald green water Florida has to offer. While the weather didn't exactly cooperate the way we wanted (it got down in the low 40's several nights .... brrrr) the house definitely helped make up for it.
Vacherie has big, comfortable bedrooms, a wonderful upstairs patio with great ocean views and best of all a huge, open kitchen/dining room/living room that was wonderful for cooking a couple of huge meals while everyone can relax and hang out. The pool table got a work out as well -- very nice.
When the sun finally came out, it's a very short walk down the ramp to the beach. We took the two-man kayak out and had a blast on it, too.
The house was cleaned and ready before check-in time and it was so nice not having to mess with check-in agents, key returns and paperwork. Andy provided everything we needed, too. The tankless hot water system in the house is fantastic considering we had a lot of girls taking really long showers at the same time. The young kids had a blast in the bunk room too.
I would definitely return here for another large gathering or recommend this place to anyone seeking the same. "

Thanks so much for letting us stay at your house. It was a great time. The house is perfect for two families.With such a nice kitchen, it's hard to leave to go out to eat.
We've been coming to the area for the last 20 years and this was probably the nicest house we've stayed at. It's convenient to Seaside. PCB and Destin aren't too far away, if you need to go to the big city...
We had great weather for March, so it made for nice swimming at the beach. It was really nice having such a good beach with access right across the road. The kids (both young and older) had a lot of fun in the sand and water.
The decorating is great. And for those that like tv and a great sound sytem, and a nice pool tabe- you're in luck.
Thanks again and I hope we can get back again soon. It's hard to believe how fast the week went. You have a really nice house.

Sometimes these places are a little "worn around the edges" but you all do a wonderful job with ongoing maintenance to provide an A+ property for your guests!

The bunk room and other bedroom downstairs were great for our grandchildren and the parents of our youngest who is 2 1/2....He got to "bunk" in with his big cousins but still his parents were in close proximity!!!
We spent lots and lots of time in and around the pool..After one little blip on the first day...which Andy responded to in about 5 minutes...the heated pool was just the ticket after a trip to the beach...since we did have surfers and kayakers they loved to go from the rather chilly waters to the warmth of the pool. Some of us just enjoyed the very ample seating and lounging areas poolside!
All in all I couldn't imagine any other house working so well for us...when someone wanted to "get lost" from the crowd everyone had their own private suites....and as you had assured me the kitchen was outfitted to the hilt for our Thanksgiving meal....
Enuf said....WE LOVED IT AND WILL RECOMMEND IT TO ANYONE WE KNOW WHO MIGHT THINK OF HEADING THAT DIRECTION!!
Best wishes for a wonderful holiday season!"

"Magnificent home! We have... - Magnificent home! We have vacationed in homes from Destin to Cape San Blas over the past several years and this one is one of the best. The beach at Seagrove is much less crowded compared to Destin (we visited peak season 6/18-6/25/2005) and the shopping and dining were much more accessible than the Cape. The beach access is directly across the street and a 2 minute walk. The private pool was a refreshing cool down after time at the beach. The home is furnished impeccably and kudos to the decorator! We highly recommend this property for you family vacation! "

"We loved it! I cannot ex... - We loved it! I cannot express how fabulous the
house was--Everything was spectacular with all the
comforts of our own home! The beach is a quick
walk across the street and Seaside is only a mile
down the road. It couldn't be in a better
location..We will be back next summer!"
