No- the title of this blog is not asking you “what’s up?”….. SUP is another name for Stand Up Paddle boarding. It looks like a surf board, weighs about 40 lbs, and you stand up either on nice, calm water (me) OR try your skills on choppy water or waves (my son). Either way you try it….you will love this new sport. Watch for it on your inland lakes very soon!

Summer dog after a LONG swim in the gulf
The sunsets were especially pretty this past spring break on Seagrove Beach. My dog summer is lucky that she is “officially” allowed on the beach after 5pm and before 8am because of her dog tag. She keeps her nose to the water and wags her short tail non stop the entire time we are on the beach. I feel guilty going down there at sunset without her.

This is a banner year for travelers to the beautiful beaches of South Walton. Even the dolphin are showing up in huge numbers! On our last trip to visit our home in Seagrove, we saw dolphin every day in the gulf. They came through around 9-10am each morning and around 5-6pm each afternoon. Sometimes we saw one or two, but there were times when large pods came by.
There is something so special about seeing wild dolphins just steps away from us in the gulf. It makes you stop, take a deep breath, and thank God for our wonderful world and His amazing creatures!
dolphin...NOT a shark!
Thanks for allowing our home to be a part of your 50th wedding anniversary! We hope it was all you dreamed of for this occasion!
Sounds like you had a great time! We have not been out on a dolphin tour from PCB, but what a GREAT idea! We plan to give Osprey Charters a call on our next visit to Peace of Mind or Sea You in Paradise.
We love repeat guests! The Perez family stayed at Peace of Mind a couple of years ago for a Seagrove Beach wedding. They are coming back in the fall of 2012 for another memorable trip. Thank you so much for coming back to our home. It makes us so happy to know that others enjoy Peace of Mind as much as we do! Continue Reading…

2nd floor balcony at Sea You in Paradise
My family has stayed in several beach houses in the South Walton area and Sea You in Paradise is our favorite by far. The house is beautiful, spacious and comfortable. The extra large bedrooms and bathrooms upstairs are wonderful. We love the ocean views from the decks. The well equipped kitchen made it easy to cook large meals. The second full size refrigerator was a great bonus to keep drinks, bottled water, etc. Continue Reading…
Happy Wedding on Seagrove Beach!
She said "yes", under a Seagrove Beach full moon!
Love this! so unique!
Jim and Kelli chose Peace of Mind & Sea You in Paradise for their special day. They were married in November 2011 on the beach near the Walton Dunes Beach Access. It’s a wide open beach, with plenty of room for guests and “I do’s”!. Their photos are stunning! Jesi Godwin has a great eye for photos.
Mojitos from Bud & Alleys- yum!
We love Bud and Alley’s in Seaside! They have the BEST tuna dip we’ve ever tasted! As a matter of fact, I’m craving it RIGHT NOW! The gulf view is fantastic and their mojitos are yummy as well!
If you are heading to Seagrove- you must check out Bud & Alleys in Seaside. It’s a relaxed and casual atmosphere. You can hear and see the gulf from your table. And….the food & beverages are delicious!

3rd annual trip to Seagrove for the Seaside 1/2 Marathon!
Click HERE for more info Early March will be our 4th trip to the Seaside 1/2 Marathon and 5k. It’s a great “excuse” for a girls weekend, AND it gets me out on the streets in the dead of winter when I would rather sit inside and drink coffee! This has become a special time of year for me and I look forward to it all year! You should try it! Here’s why:
1- Vera Bradley bags for all finishers!
2- If you are a guy…there are ton’s of girls
3- If you are a girl, it’s the PERFECT girls trip
