Seventh Heaven Rental House Question

[familyoffour]

Boy, it sounds like I picked a lemon for a rental. I've got friends who have never been to the area that we've been coming to for 5 years now. It's their first trip and they have little ones. With all that street noise, it's going to be horrible. I'm sick to my stomach right now.

Thanks for the info, the good and the bad.

If you have a house full of friends, kids, good food, bathing suits, and music, PLUS the house sits on the Gulf with essentially it's own access, you will be fine and have a wonderful time. That house looks like a fortress- and if you play hard all day and let the sand and surf wear you out, sleeping won't be a problem either! Chin up and have a wonderful trip!

I've always admired the house from the outside. Other than the traffic, the location is ideal. Very close to the Village Market, a very uncrowded beach, walking distance to Seaside. You'll have a great time, don't worry!

I am so sorry you feel sick. It was my best intention to honestly share my stay there. I am sure the view from the upper levels is breath taking. you may not be able to hear the street noise on these levels but rather the sound of the ocean. Please remember we were in the lower level apartment. The beach is not crowded at all there.

NO! I do not think you picked a lemon. I too have alway's admired that house. I think it is beautiful. I do not think the noise is going to be a problem at all. As Jenay said, the house will be filled with friends and family and you will probably never notice it. I stay (well, stayed at Seagrove Villa's and Motel) for the last 8 years. This house is very close to the Villa's. The beach is fabulous!!! You are going to have a great vacation!!!

You-all are right, I need to suck it up and quit complaining. As you said, I will have my friends there and plenty of laughter and the wonderful gulf front house on the beach. Music it will be to replace the road noise.

Andipandi, thank you for your honest opinion. I am glad you wrote what you did. I wanted to hear from someone who stayed there and you let me know what you thought and I truly appreciate it, really. Please don't feel bad. I wasn't so much worried for me but for our friends who had never been there. Just wanted to make an all-around great impression with them so that they would come back with us again.

You guys are great. I feel better already. And you are right, SGB, I will be close to everything.

Thank you so much, everyone.

Good for you. That really is a great house! I know you'll have a wonderful time.

We stayed in the lower level of 7th Heaven years ago before we built our house which is a few streets away. The owners at the time only rented the lower level. There was a path(just steps away) to the beach access which is public right beside the house.

One thing I hated about it, after admiring this house for years was THE NOISE!!! There is the 3 way stop at 30A and 395--it is constant. Maybe it not as noticable if you have the whole house. At the time everything was white and dark green--hope they are your colors. There was a ventless fireplace and I could smell it all the time. But I have a sensitive nose. Sorry for this bad news but it was my experience.

I was kind of thinking the same thing about that intersection...
hope it works out for you Familyoffour!!! have funn :clap_1:

When are you going? If air conditioning is running, it may drown out most noises. Chances are if this hadn't been mentioned, you would not have even noticed it much. But now you may be overly conscious of it. Do not mention to the other guests with you and they likely will not think much of it.

Plan to enjoy your vacation and stop worrying! ;-)
