Unique Benefits
We chose this neighborhood because it’s just off 30A, giving the perfect blend of convenience and coastal charm. We love the Emerald Coast and the feeling of small, friendly coastal communities. The neighborhood itself is tucked away and quiet, set back from the main road with a beautiful stone drive and lush, wooded surroundings. Coastal plants and natural landscaping give it a serene, private feel, making it a true escape. Just steps from the house, you’ll find a stunning resort-style pool — perfect for relaxing mornings or sunset swims. It’s a peaceful, safe, and inviting spot where you can unwind, enjoy nature, and still be close to the beaches, shops, and restaurants that make the area so special.
Nestled in Creek Park at Magnolia, this quiet coastal neighborhood is perfect for walks, bike rides, and family time. With no through-traffic and lush landscaping, it feels private and welcoming—plus you’ll enjoy a resort-style pool just steps away and be minutes from the beach, shops, and dining along 30A.

LaPaula W.We couldn't have asked for a better week-perfection!
From start to finish, booking and staying at Zee by the Sea was seamless and amazing. From the moment we arrived, everything exceeded our expectations. We were welcomed with a spotless, spacious, and beautifully maintained home. Every room was thoughtfully decorated,and the owners, quite literally, thought of everything! The kitchen was fully stocked, the beds were incredibly comfortable, and all of the amenities made it feel like home. Our favorite spot for coffee in the mornings or after a long day at the beach was on the back porch relaxing on the bed swing. We also loved the enclosed outdoor shower off of the Master suite.The location was another huge plus — close to the beaches, restaurants, and local attractions, yet still quiet and peaceful at night. Though private beach access was provided, we actually didn't use it because the public accesses were just as close, had golf cart parking, and made our walk to the portion of the beach that you weren't required to rent chairs, much closer and easier.The host was incredibly helpful and responsive throughout our stay, making the entire check-in and check-out process smooth, easy, enjoyable, and stress-free. You can tell they truly care about their guests having a great vacation. We made unforgettable memories during our stay and can’t wait to come back. This home is the perfect choice for anyone planning a relaxing and enjoyable 30-A vacation!

Diane D.It was such an amazing place to stay!!
We stayed here over Spring break and had a wonderful experience. The home was spotless, comfortable, and beautifully maintained-exactly as described. The neighborhood was peaceful and safe, and we loved having easy access to the beach and pool. The host was responsive, friendly and the guest guidebook was priceless. The tranquil back porch was a favorite morning spot for coffee and bird watching. We would absolutely stay here again. Highly recommend for a perfect vacation! Thank you!

Tiffani D.It’s in the details!
This home was above and beyond what we expected. The owner clearly has thought of all the little things you need while away from home. Ring dishes by all the sinks, shampoo, conditioner and body wash in all bathrooms along with plush linens and towels, snacks on the counter upon arrival, laundry soap for use in the washer and dryer and the list goes ON!Each room has its own en-suite bathroom plus a powder room for all to use while downstairs playing games (provided!) or hanging out on the screen porch (that swing though?!). Everything was super clean too.The location was perfect too; walking distance to the beach with private access, easy drive to Alys Beach and Rosemary Beach and all the adorable shops in each town. So much to do no matter the weather!We highly recommend this rental property!!
