This was an excellent rental with no negative surprises. Very good location close to restaurants, stores, entertainment and attractions. Easy access to a very nice beach.

😎 Awesome! Thanks Neal. "No negative surprises" — that's exactly what we aim for! So glad the east side of Sea Monster hit the mark: great location near the restaurants and attractions, and easy access to that beautiful beach. Thank you so much for the 5-star review! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Any suggestions for Sea Monster? Or ready to come back to the beach? I'd love to hear from you. Thanks so much for staying in our home! 🏖️

😎 Awesome! Thanks Gerard. So glad the east side of Sea Monster was a hit! And yep, fair note on parking — when both sides are full of big crews, it turns into a bit of a "pack and stack" on a beach lot but you should be able to get 5-6 big size vehicles per side, a bit more when you stack well, or slide one under the home too. A little car-Tetris is the price of admission for that many folks that close to the sand! 😉 Thank you so much for the 5-star review! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Any suggestions for Sea Monster? Or ready to come back to the beach? I'd love to hear from you. Thanks so much for staying in our home! 🏖️

😎 Yay, Abby! So glad you enjoyed the east side of Sea Monster — plenty of room for the whole gang! And 8BR is already a lot of house... but if your party ever grows 😉, you can come back and snag both sides for a whopping 16BR!

Great time with plenty of space for the entire family! Direct access to the beach and stunning view. The pool was perfect with us having some issues with the weather. Highly recommend !! The week went by too fast and the kids wanted to stay ‘forever’!!! Great location being in walking distance from the Waves store plus eating & shopping!!

We enjoyed our stay

We were very grateful to rent your place on such short notice, and appreciate that very much. We had more than enough room for our entire family and appreciated the second dishwasher and refrigerator for such a large group.

Great beach location with nice view. Great for large groups. Pool area was nice but too cold to swim in April. Kitchen stocked well. Just be prepared for stairs. Would rent again

🌴 Hi there Deb! Thanks so much for the 5-star review — we’re thrilled you enjoyed your stay at Sea Monster East! 🌊 Sounds like you made the most of that beachfront location and those views — hard to beat! We’re glad the home worked well for your group and that the kitchen had everything you needed. 🙌 You’re absolutely right about the stairs — by coastal code, all homes here start one level up (storms and all that 🌬️), and duplex-style homes like Sea Monster tend to be more of a “straight shot up”… a little bonus cardio for the beach week! 💪😉 For future stays, we do have a mix of options — some stand-alone homes with landings, a few with single-level living once you’re inside, and even a couple with elevators for larger groups. Something for everyone depending on what you’re after! We’d love to host you again anytime — and if you ever need more space, renting both sides together turns Sea Monster into a full 16-bedroom setup perfect for big gatherings. Thanks again, and come back soon! 😎

Great family reunion type property. You have privacy anytime you want or mingle areas as desired. Great pool and nice beach access. Lots of balcony space on all three living levels! We booked East and West again for next year before departing!

🤗 Thanks Tommy! Glad you had an awesome time in both sides of Sea Monster! I am curious... you ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ starred the west side, but this side (east) got a 4, albeit with superlative, super nice, narrative, so I am curious what may have caused the one ⭐️ to walk away on this side? Might be an error, but always looking for things to improve! Sounds, though, like you had the perfect time in both sides so my guess is error. 😉 Thanks so much for rebooking for 2026! Sea Monster is already mostly full for sumemr 2026 and its only August 2025, so way to get ahead of it! Ty! 🙏 Rick
