Perfect piece of paradise!
The beach view was amazing! It was better than the pictures! The comfort of the overall home felt like luxury. The penthouse balcony and view combined with the ease of beach access and how expansive the beach at Seagrove was would make us want to stay again! We had to communicate with the property manager a few times and the communication was quick and easy. Several maintenance and troubleshooting instances arose and they were promptly handled! We used shoreline beach rentals for bikes which was a great idea! We explored both Seaside in one direction and Rosemary Beach in another direction. Would def stay again!

Seagrove beach week
The condo was nice and the owner was responsive but a few things could have been better. There was no coffee table in the living room which made it uncomfortable for relaxing. The mattress on the king size bed should be replaced. A storm that broke the sun umbrella on the deck the second day of our trip and it wasn't replaced while we were there, making it almost impossible to use that outdoor space during the day. The elevator also out of date for service. There was only one fob for the beach which was difficult to manage with only three people staying. At full capacity, it would be terrible. Overall a good trip but a few nagging issues that were a constant irritation.

Wonderful accommodations at Paradise Penthouse located at Commodore's Retreat in Seagrove, FL. The condo is spacious, tastefully decorated with a beach theme, and super clean. Great private access to the beach which is right outside your balcony doors.

Breathtaking View
The view from this condo is incomparable. Because there is no one above you on the veranda, you have a full expansive view of the sky, a large portion of the beach, as well as Eastern lake. I was amazed the entire time. I spent countless hours on the veranda watching dolphins, osprey, seagulls, sunrise, sunset. I even saw two North American bald eagles perched by Eastern lake! This section of the beach is quite private and it didn't feel overcrowded. There is plenty of space in the condo to spread out. It is well appointed. And access to the beach is super duper simple. We had plenty of questions, and the owners were quick to respond and patient with our many questions. We wouldn't hesitate to book again!

Pricey for the accommodations
The view was spectacular and proximity to the beach was awesome. The condo itself was a bit worn. Several fans and outlets didn’t work, the blow dryer was broken, there was no shampoo or soap (should be better stated in the description), and the dining room chairs were wobbly. With just a little maintenance and some comfortable chairs, this place would shine as a star.

Perfect location for beach get-away
"Wow!" That's what each of the teens said when they entered the condo and caught the spectacular view of the beach. My husband and I brought our son and some friends down for spring break and this condo was the perfect home base. The kids loved having their own space upstairs (and the pool table!) and the primary suite provided the adults our own retreat. The kitchen was large and fairly well stocked with plenty of seating inside and out. The furniture is comfortable and the place was spotless. Sure, having only one parking spot was a bit of a challenge, but that seems to be the norm for beachfront properties. We loved hanging out on the top floor deck, watching folks play in Eastern Lake and waiting for the pelicans to glide by at eye level. I recommend this condo without hesitation -- we would definitely stay here again!

Spring Break getaway
The location was fantastic…although the temps were cool we could still enjoy the sand and water. Lots of skim boarding on the lake as well as ocean. Def recommend renting bikes during your stay, especially for teens! A great way to stay busy by peddling into Seaside. Recommend bringing laundry detergent, extra paper towels, trash bags and toilet paper. Our crew ran out quickly. Also note that shampoo, body wash, conditioner samples are not provided. Overall wonderful and we’d return

Great space but building property as a whole needs some updates
Great area and great view. Nice indoor and outdoor space on the unit. There was no umbrella on the table on the patio and we were told that it is not allowed anymore, yet the other 3 neighbors all had umbrellas on their patio table so not sure what was up with that. Front of building and elevator area could be updated. Also the wooden walkway way out to the beach is in bad condition and needs to be repaired. Very difficult parking under cover and unless you’re lucky enough to get the end spot, so we parked in the uncovered parking area most of the time. Several pipes broke Christmas Day leaving the entire building without water. We ended up having to find another property to go to our last two days. Property manager worked with us and got us a full refund for the final two nights. Overall not a bad place to stay if you’re willing to overlook a few things but it definitely needs some updates on the building property itself, but the rental unit was nice.

Very nice condo with a great location. Our group consisted of 6 adults and one child and we had plenty of space. Easy access to the beach and that area of the beach is not overly crowded. Beach service is located near by. The condo has a large balcony with a great view of the beach and Gulf. Excellent place to stay.

Great condo, fantastic location for young kids
The location next to the lake is perfect for families with young kids. During our stay there we’re storms that made the beach too rough to swim, so our kids swam happily in the lake. The accommodations were excellent for our family and child-free uncle and his girlfriend. I’m not giving 5 stars because there ZERO paper towels and beach towels. I realize we should buy our own paper towels and we did, but having one complimentary roll would made our first evening and morning meals and their cleanup much easier. We definitely don’t bring our own beach towels to any beach trip. Generally,, there weren’t enough towels. Literally 6 bath towels. Glad we didn’t have more than six people. In summary, excellent condo, perfect location, poorly outfitted.
