Seacrest Café
One of the newest additions to our community is the Seacrest Beach Café operated by Crust Artisan Bakery.

Centered within the community is the Seacrest Lagoon. This 378,000-gallon pool is one of the largest private pools in the state of Florida, and is open year-round from 9am – 9:45pm for Seacrest residents and guests. At present, our amazing lagoon pool is heated only by the sun. The amphitheater is a grassy area where concerts, movies, and weddings are held. It is also great for a pick-up game of Bocce or Frisbee throwing.

Tram Service
From March through October, the Seacrest Tram service offers transportation to and from the designated tram stops in the neighborhood to the beach or the Lagoon. Simply walk out your front door go to the nearest tram stop and then call for pickup. The tram will arrive within fifteen minutes.

Lovely Home

The house was very lovely… neat and clean. Location was great for getting to the beach quickly but be prepared for a VERY small and crowded designated beach area. The house description on line was not the same as the info sent to us from rental company. On line had 3 designated parking spaces and check in time was 3:00. Info sent to us from rental company was 2 parking spaces and 4:00 check in.. we also had an issue with our tv that we reported that i never heard back from. Other than that it was a great trip and the location is walking distance to shopping and restaurants.

A fun rental

This house was clean, really nicely decorated, cozy & just as shown in the pictures. The kids loved the rooftop hammocks. It was a great place to stay for our family of older teens on spring break- they loved biking around to nearby ice cream, shopping, meeting up with friends & going to the beach. The area overall was less of a good fit for our younger child (over the spring break time frame) due to the huge number of teens & college kids everywhere. The location is very close to everything you could need- we only used our car once & could walk or bike to everything (aside from a shipt order of groceries). The only reason I would not recommend this location would be for a family with young children on spring break, as there are a million older teens biking around and the activities and language are frequently not appropriate for young kids. It’s also very difficult to get beach space or any kind of restaurant reservation or even carry out food or coffee at this time of year and lastly, the big beautiful seacrest pool is not heated, so it was ice cold at this time of year, so that was a bit of a disappointment . Older teens don’t seem to mind these things because they love biking around & socializing. Again, the property itself was great. Our only issue with the property itself was we could not get anyone to answer our emails or return our calls several times when we attempted to extend our stay even well before leaving.

seacrest beach -driftwood cottage

Driftwood Cottage is a lovely home away from home. It’s in a nice location with easy proximity to the beach and pool. The beach for seacrest community is very limited and was jammed up and not what we expected so we spent most of our time at the pool. The courtyard is a plus and a really nice feature. The house is spacious and has various places to gather as well as to have your quiet space. It could use a little refreshing to get a totally 5star rating. Master bedroom mattress is soft and has “sleep divets”, the washer did not work properly and wouldn’t spin out the clothes so we came home with a weeks worth of dirty laundry and towels. We did call maintenance and they replied they’d be by to check it, but we never saw them. The kitchen is adequate for rental but by no means luxurious if that’s important to you. We would stay there again but would hope to see a few of these features refreshed as they are able. All in all it’s a nice home. It’s the end of summer and I imagine it’s had heavy use the last few months and needs a little TLC.
