CLOSER IS EASIER WITH A PRIVATE POOL Of course, the community pools are clean, beautiful, and huge! But they’re over there, and you and your crew are right here, in a really nice Oversee beach home. But a private heated pool? It just may cause you to raise your hands in the air, and proclaim quietly, to yourself, “My pool is warmer than your pool.” Oh, sure, there may be a fee for the electricity, but imagine skipping your morning shower and heading right for the warm water of a private po— Ok, skip that part about not showering. Anyway, a morning dip in a heated pool is simply divine. Find convenience, and the center of your next vacation, in the private pool of your Oversee vacation home.
For this summer, check out Winter’s End:
Welcome to Winter’s End, a luxurious 30A beach rental. Out back, the serene courtyard oasis sets the stage for a heated saltwater pool and spa. Complete with comfy lounge chairs, this distinctive space can be accessed at several points, including a primary bedroom. You’ll also love the complimentary golf cart, ideal for zooming to the beaches (a half-mile away), shops, and eateries. Or cruise around on one of the 4 complimentary bikes. Very nice.

GO ON VACATION LIKE YOU MEAN IT You spent all this money, and drove all this way, and waited all this time, and took off all those days at work. Phew! If you’re going to do ALL of that, then do what’s going to make the vacation even better. It’s time to take your vacation to the next level with the power of a pool. When was the last time you fanned out on an inflatable flamingo? A pool says to your guests, “I got this y’all. This ain’t my first rodeo.” It means things are gonna be 30A smooth. Let’s practice your pool smile. There ya go.
For this summer, check out Special Purpose:
In the heart of Old Seagrove, welcome to Special Purpose. This well-kept Japanese-inspired home is spacious and inviting with 2 bedrooms, 2 baths, and sleeps five comfortably. The screened back porch is serene and looks out to the tranquil shaded spa/pool oasis. A truly unique space, you’ll spend hours out here on the comfortable lounge chairs. Inside, the stunning and spacious open living area is another unordinary space.

INCREDIBLE MOMENTS HAPPEN IN A PRIVATE POOL I used to video-record everything. It felt good to “have” some of life’s biggest moments. On one beach vacation, my daughter was on the verge of learning to swim, all by herself. (yeah, her mommy and I were there, but no one else was. complete privacy, no distractions.) Eventually, she did it. And that vacation became the “Remember that vacation you learned to swim?” vacation. People are at their best around a private pool. With a little bit of egging on, family members and old friends start showing off. Or older couples see each other again, in the night glow of the underwater lights. Parties happen in pools. Life, baby.
For this summer, check out Palms on Pelican:
Palms On Pelican is an exquisite, newly renovated beach house, in Pelican Circle, in Seacrest. Yes, it has nearby private beach-access, but the bigger story here may be the private pool. If you’ve seen the pictures, then you know. The oasis out back includes a hot tub, a propane grill, and the desire to help you sit down, and unwind. With 4 bikes included, you’ll love that you booked a place that provides instant refreshment.

A POOL IS LIKE A NINJA. Pools are beyond versatile. They’re people pleasers, tie-breakers, fun magnets, and with no apologies. Yes, a private pool is so ‘all things to everybody’, that even teens love pools. Especially private pools, which have been known to coax young people to go on otherwise “boring” vacations. Teens will readily, without any nudge of the slightest, gaze at a phone, or magazine, or an app/magazine, for hours, while getting a tan, poolside. Another satisfied teen, a girl from Minnesota, was recently seen reading a book, poolside. After shopping, a teen can refresh with a splash in a private pool. Also, not everyone in your group may be comfortable swimming in open bodies of water (the gulf). Plus, a pool is great for anyone who doesn’t feel like heading out, a pool is ideal for something fun and relaxing to do while others venture out to explore 30A.
For this summer, check out La Mer-Athon:
La Mer-Athon is wonderful and charming, inside and out back. With Blue Mountain Beach beach-access just a few steps away (423, to be exact), and shops and eateries within biking distance, take advantage of the six-passenger golf cart and three bikes. The private pool (optional heat) is at the center of a very unique space. The backyard oasis includes a spacious pool house, a hanging day bed, a fire pit with seating for four, a Delta Heat grill, refrigerator, and large TV.

KIDS! Need we say more?
For this summer, check out Casa Playa:
Casa Playa is a cozy getaway in Seagrove Beach, with a cozy backyard oasis. Lounge and dine around your private pool (optional heat), and enjoy the completely enclosed outdoor shower, screened-in porch, and natural landscape. Inside, the 2 bedrooms and 2 full bathrooms are on separate floors of the home with separate exterior entrances. There is no interior staircase connecting the floors. This setup works well for two couples, or a family with grandparents, or older kids who want to stay together while retaining some privacy.
