Wonderful stay at Sea Monster!

Stayed here years ago. Loved it then. Even better this trip! We noticed the upgrades and appreciate the effort put into keeping the home so nice. We hope to return again in a few more years. Thank you for having us!

It was a great stay! Lots of room. We had a small group but this place can accommodate so many! Needs a good scrub of the inner walls and base boards. Perfect location and we are going to plan a big family trip next year with the rest of us! Thanks again!

🥳 Awesome! Thanks Susan. So glad it was a great stay on the west side of Sea Monster — and you're right, she can hold a BIG crew, so I love that you're already planning to bring the whole gang next year! Good note on the walls and baseboards, too; I've passed that along to my cleaning team for an extra once-over. So glad the location was perfect — see you and the full family next year! Thank you so much for the 5-star review! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Any suggestions for Sea Monster? Or ready to plan that big family trip? I'd love to hear from you. Thanks so much for staying in our home! 🏖️

😎 Awesome, Suzanne! So glad Sea Monster West had plenty of space and a nice set up for your crew — room to spread out is what these big homes do best! Thank you so much for the 5-star review! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Any suggestions for the home while it's fresh? Or ready to come back to the beach? I'd love to hear from you. Thanks so much for staying in our home! 👍

👍 Thank you so much for the great review. Glad you all truly enjoyed your stay, and loved the location, layout, beach, and communication from Bama Beach Houses. It would be super helpful if you could reach out and let us know what could be improved to get that star back with his 4 other buddies since there isn't anything here or in communications at all about negatives. Maybe just a 'hard grader' but that hurts on VRBO, so if you DO have suggestions, even minor requests, please reach out! Ditto when ready to rock the return! Thanks again! 🙏

Super cute house with tons of rooms for each couple to have their own room and bathroom! This was perfect for our big family vacation house to sleep everyone plus plenty of options for the kids to not be in beds with anyone else!

Great time

We had a great time with our family vacation. Only issue was one of the bath jacuzzis was out of order. It would’ve been nice to have operational.

😊 Thanks Kendall! Glad you all had a great time and loved out home. On the whirlpools, its been years since we support (and market) those due to issues with maintaining and parts supply, so we note that in all the listings, and in our confirmation FAQs etc. The tubs work, but the whirlpool jets are disabled, often even plugged off as they ALSO were leak problems in some cases. Again glad you all had a fantastic time at Sea Monster, and would be happy to have you all again anytime!🙏

We enjoyed the house, the pool and the beach

We've stayed in the Sea Monster, East and West, several times over the years. The accommodations worked well for my family. It appeared as though the interior had been repainted which looked good. We enjoyed the house, the pool and the beach. The location is perfect.

Our best year yet!

Everything was wonderful at Sea Monster this year. It was probably our best year so far. We went for 7 weeks instead of six and that is a perfect amount of time. [🥰 Yay! With your 10th year coming up, this year being the best year yet is saying a lot! Glad we are able to keep everything shipshape and fresh for you each and every year! Reach out if you have any suggestions at all! Thanks so much for trusting us evey year for the perfect place to stay! 🙏]
