We were able to spend some much-needed time together at Restoration House. The space was quiet, comfortable, and absolutely amazing... Thank you for this ministry.

Our 'holiday at the sea' was extraordinary... The whole week was a gift from God.
Tim, Georgia
We liked riding bikes on the trail in the neighborhood and walking around Seaside. We also liked paddle boarding on Eastern Lake and the Gulf.

Some of our favorite spots along 30A: Playing games at the Restoration House. Scratch Biscuit Kitchen in WaterColor. Cowgirl Kitchen for Burgers in Rosemary. Get the mystery box at Black Bear Coffee in Seaside. It’s got good pastries and coffee. Or try an Onyx Coffee at Beachy Bean in Seagrove! Grayton State Park. Rosemary/Inlet Beach for shells hands down. We have a bowl on our table full of shells the kids found there.
David & Abby, Virginia
We highly recommend Canopy Road Café for breakfast and Pickle's for a delicious burger.
Michael & Kathryn, Florida
Spending time together enjoying good coffee, reading, kayaking at Grayton Beach, and relaxing on the beach was all wonderful. We also enjoyed strolling through the downtown area of Rosemary Beach, visiting Amavida Coffee and Hidden Lantern Books.
John & Lydia, Texas
We may sound like really boring people, but we really would recommend the puzzles & riding bikes at the Restoration House. Also, grabbing chicken tenders / sides from the WaterColor Publix & eating at the house was so easy with lots of kiddos. We loved the big grassy amphitheater in Seaside where the kids played & the Dunes in Grayton Beach State Park.
Jon & Tory, Georgia
We thoroughly enjoyed the walking trails in the neighborhood where the house is located. In PCB, Thomas Donut & Snack Shop has a little of everything food-wise & was a great customer experience. Mike’s Seafood & Oyster Bar was also really good.
Laura from Texas
Ghost Crab Pizza in Inlet was a cool place with delicious pizza. And Ponce de Leon Spring was worth the drive for the kids to experience a natural spring.
Tim from Georgia
Our favorite restaurant was the indoors / outdoors seating at the Old Florida Fish House on Eastern Lake. Our grandkids loved Zoo World in PCB.
Jen & Gregg, Florida
The kids spent most of their time riding bikes & playing tennis in the neighborhood. We walked to Dough Sea Dough Donuts in Seagrove for donuts & coffee almost every morning. We did the Taco Bar in Seaside a few times for quick & fairly cheap lunches. The Beachy Bean on Eastern Lake is great for families with littles & the kids also really liked the Hokulia Shaved Ice.
Erin & Eric, Washington
We played tennis at the local courts and often walked around the trail at the pond in the neighborhood. We tried a lot of different restaurants and were always pleased! Brozinni's Pizza just around the corner is great. Food Trucks in Seaside, brunch at Canopy Road, seafood and great atmosphere at Old Florida Fish House.
