About this home

Tucked away in a quiet Seagrove neighborhood with only a short stroll to the emerald waters and sugar white sands of the beach, this charming, Old Florida cottage offers a reminder of a slower pace in time. The home was carefully moved from its original homesite in the Eastern Lake area to its current location years ago, and lovingly restored and updated to be a family beach getaway. Original exposed beams and a charming wooden ceiling in the trundle room add to the original cottage feel. ''Dancin' Dolphin'' sleeps six guests total with one king bedroom (with ensuite master bathroom), one queen bedroom with ensuite full bathroom, and a twin trundle in the bonus room. The open floor plan of the home allows for family gatherings, and porches on both the front and the back of the home offer a quiet place to get away. The large wooded lot has plenty of room for a pool in the backyard and boat or RV parking. Major renovation work has been done including a new air conditioner, new hot water heater, new flooring, new counter tops, and new windows. With no HOA fees, this vintage home has great potential to continue as a family getaway, primary home or rental.
