Bad timing. That's not a reflection on Seagrove. Didn't know the market would tank right as we put it on the market. It is now off the market.
Our plan is to downsize so that we no longer need to rent. I'm sick of dealing with renters' damage, and I want to be able to leave our personal stuff out so we don't have to pack it away (like $100 knives that renters would put in the dishwasher and ruin, clothes and makeup in the closets and bathrooms so we don't have to pack when we come down, food in the refrigerator and the pantry), and also be able to stay there all summer when school is out if I want to.

My advice:
Get south of 30A, especially if you are going to be there during the vacation season. Lots of traffic on 30A.
Get beachfront if you possibly can.
forget a place with a pool. The Gulf is just too good to fool with a pool. Lots of pools inland at peoples houses, etc. The beach is what it is all about.
BR had a great list of places to eat. See the dining thread on here. It'll tell you the story.
Seagrove is a very good place to be, in my not so humble opinion.
You do need to see Grayton, etc.

We use the pool more than the beach. It's so refreshing to take a dip in the pool after sweating at the beach and being covered in sand. It's especially nice to have the pool when the seaweed arrives.
Hubby gets bored at the beach. He likes to be working. At the pool he can be close to his laptop. Also we can put the TV outside and watch football games or other sports events while we're in the pool.
IMO if you're in SoWal, you have to visit Grayton. We like to eat at Hisbiscus, Red Bar, and Borago in Grayton at least once when we're in town.

Seagrove Beach. 
Now, would someone please clear up something for me? I have been wanting to ask this question for a while, but did not want to see like a big dumbo. Sometimes I am directionally challenged, so when people say "South of 30-A" isn't that the beach? I mean in my mind you can't go "South of 30-A, just East and West"....so what am I missing?

The Villas are south of 30A.
"South of 30-A" means you don't have to cross 30-A to go to the beach.

I thought that is what was meant...so I am not as challenged as I thought I was. ;-) Thank you friend, for setting me straight.
30-A goes sort of east and west, and yes, "South of 30-A" means you do not have to cross it to get to the beach.
Now if I can just get Ms Seaside to figure out the directions to the grocery store!!
Thank you as well. Do you know the directions to the grocery store? Perhaps, you could do Ms. Seaside a favor and get groceries for HER! ;-)

OOPS! I forgot the Taco Bar at Seaside. That's some great fast food! Good for lunch, dinner, a snack, or drinks. By "or" I mean the "inclusive or."
