Nice sounds of waves

I enjoyed it and my husband said it was perfect also but for 5,000 I thought the porch would have an umbrella so you could actually sit outside and enjoy the view. You couldn’t really see the ocean except for the left side bc the walkway you wanted it to be overgrown so no one could see inside the den but in the pictures it looked like the whole deck was able to view the ocean. Just get a nice umbrella for the deck.

Great view but needs some maintenance

Overall this was a great place to stay. But if I’m leaving an honest review there were a few issues. The place was smaller than we expected and the bedrooms were very small. Not much room for any luggage at all. This would be a great place for a single couple to stay but not a family with children - especially small children. The view is stunning and the location is great - however the stairs to the left felt very unsafe. We also spotted at least ten large cockroaches during our stay. The water line also broke and leaked all over the floor. Overall it’s a lovely place to stay. And if you want amazing beach views and access it was a 10/10.

Dolphin Watch #4

Great location with quick access to the beach; however, with being so close came the critters. We killed multiple roaches and large spiders which was unsettling with small children/babies during our stay. In addition, the rental could use many small touch ups and repairs. One of the sliding doors would not slide, including most of them also had moisture issues and rust all over them. Inside, many cabinet trim and shoe molding/base boards were all loose or not sealed/caulked, potentially adding to the bug issues.

Great location

Loved the location and the easy beach access. Publix is about 5 min away and tons of restaurants within 15 minutes. Didn’t like the fact that beach towels, chairs, umbrella or a pack n play aren’t included. I appreciate the outlet covers considering we have young kids! Management wasn’t helpful much. I asked for local recommendations for indoor activities (it down-poured a few days during our stay) and they couldn’t even give me one suggestion. They also seemed rude in their other responses to me. I called a few days before arrival because I sent a package to the house and it got lost. They were of absolute zero help. They told me there wasn’t a mail box for the location and guess what….. there is! Know your property better.

Amazing location right on the beach, open floor plan

I would highly recommend this unit for a family friendly vacation or a small group of friends. The view of the beach is amazing from the fenced in patio, which was perfect for my toddler to keep in view. The air conditioning worked great and/or if you wanted the fresh air to hear the waves you could open up all 3 sliding glass doors - this was lovely. I would give this 5 stars because of the location and the responsiveness of the property management company. However, I am giving it 4 because it needs some upgrading - the beds are way too soft, some outlets were coming out of the walls (not safe for baby) and the cooking ware is shot. In addition, the value is not there. It's pricey and the unit was not fully stocked for every day we were there so we had to purchase dish soap, washer/dryer soaps, paper towels and even toilet paper. Other than that, I would recommend this unit for it's proximity to the beach, the layout, and location to shops, restaurants and activities.

Good location

The good: Beachfront location is great. The beach is just out the backdoor. Location along 30A is also great as it is close enough to shops and restaurants but away from the crowds at those places. Communication is good from property mgmt. The less-than-good: Bathrooms are small and have no countertop space. Storage is limited with one room having no true closet space (has hvac unit and clothing rod removed). Neither is much of an issue for a short weekend trip and/or a small group, but we felt a little cramped and had to partially live out of the suitcases. The public beach access is adjacent to the unit. Not an issue most of the time, but there were a couple of occasions of loud beach walkers after midnight and times that our parking space was used as a drop-off. If we wanted to set up an area at the beach in front of the property, we had to have it out before 7am or it would be "claimed" very quickly due to the access point. Our biggest disappointment, and the reason for a star deduction (or two?) is that the place could use some TLC...cleaning crew missed several significant things, cooktop only partially works, lack of dishes when advertised for 6 people (2 cereal bowls, etc). All of these issues are easily fixed and may no longer be an issue for the next traveler. Depending on the circumstances and price, we would recommend this place. Unfortunately, it wasn't quite right for our family.

Paradise on the coast!

Amazing!!! That's all I have to say. It was exactly what we wanted, on the beach. The patio was absolutely perfect; I could see my kids on beach while sitting and reading on patio. My girls absolutely loved it. And we had friends stop by that were staying elsewhere, and they could not believe the view and closeness to beach. My girls and I have already decided we want to stay here everytime we are at Seaside(Seacrest). Spacious, fully stocked kitchen....can't say enough great things!
