We stayed in BeachCrest on the 5 floor.. The owner was Pat and she was a dream to deal with and always available for questions. Their unit was very comfortable and the kitchen was great and fully stocked with spices, pots and pans, and utensils. Great quality as well. We even entertained another family we met at BeachCrest. So I cooked for us (3) and another family of seven. Kitchen easily accommodated that style of prep work. The view is amazing and the balcony is very large!! The master bedroom mattress is amazing.. Pat is a wonderful and honest owner to deal with. I would higly recommend any of their units in beachcrest The property of BeachCrest is beautifully maintained. The pool was very well taken care and clean. The grill area is great and very efficient. We used it three times during our stay. Very close to the pool so my husband could also watch our son while I was upstairs prepping everything else. Our vacation was amazing and stress free. :). We will definitely rent from pat again.

This Beachcrest condo was just beautiful and everything was exactly as it was listed. My husband and I along with our son, daughter and son-in-law stayed there for a beach wedding. We all had a wonderful time and there was plenty of room for all of us. The condo was immaculate, the kitchen was well equipped and the bedrooms were very comfortable. The view from the balcony was breathtaking. It was so relaxing to just sit and watch the waves come in. Beachcrest is located on Hwy 30A which is where Water Color, Seaside, Water Sound and many excellent restaurants are located. If you turned right or left leaving the parking lot you could find everything very easily. Pat could not have been nicer keeping us informed about our stay. The condo was so accessible to the parking lot and the elevator and trash bin were very convenient to our door. It was a wonderful experience and when I return to Sea Grove I will definitely want to stay there. Marie

We had a wonderful vacation at your condo... It was just what we imagined from the pictures on your website... Everything was very clean and well-maintained. The owner was really fast to respond to our rental inquiry and very sweet when I called her with a little issue on our day of departure, which was solved in seconds... Thanks. The area is quiet and at the same time so convenient to restaurants, shopping, etc... We highly recommend it!!!

My husband and I have never been to Florida at the end of Oct. We found everything at the condo represened accurately! Beautiful views, accommodations and very clean and quiet. Just what we were looking for. Close to shopping and good restaurants. We did not want to leave. And will definitely re-book again in the near future. We have finally found a true gem on the Gulf of Mexico!!! And Pat makes check-in and check-out the easiest we have ever experienced. Truly looking forward to another stay in this beautiful condo on a very beautiful beach! Thanks so much Pat! K&D

Well, we are sadly on our way back home and already thinking about our return trip. :o) We had a great week (no rain!!) and all beautiful days. The condo was definately one of the best we ever stayed in at Beachcrest and would highly recommend it to anyone. Even the kitchen and bathrooms have been updated with new cabinets and and an elevated vanity in the master bathroom. I really liked the extra cabinets in the bathroom, and the conversion of what use to be the wet bar into a desk area was a much better idea. Although we could not see the sun set from the balcony (was on the second floor and the building next door blocked it), we made it an evening ritual to take our wine down to the beach to watch it from there. The owners were very easy to work with and made our first experience with VRBO a good one. We even ran into the folks renting their other condo when we were on the beach and they too had great things to say about Pat. We have traveled to this area a lot and of all the places we have seen or stayed this was a very good experience.

Photos do not do this condo justice, lovely unit on the beautiful beaches of south Walton. Mrs. Pat was wonderful to work with, excellent communication and made the reservation/check in so easy. Our family did not want to leave, look forward to returning again soon!

Great Time in Seagrove

A big kudos to the owners for making our 'last-minute' vacation a success. They were quick to respond to our requests and made the rental experience not only easy, but an overall pleasure. The property was in great shape when we arrived and the kitchen/living area were roomier than we expected. It's location was perfect for us...away from the busy streets of Destin, but plenty of accessible shops and fantastic restaurants within 10 minutes of either side of us. (Stinky's Fish Camp was our favorite) And the main reason we come year after year...Seagrove has beautiful beaches without the crowds.

I had a wonderful experience staying in this condo. It is located in my favorite area of 30 A providing close access to my favorite spots. The area is beautiful, relaxing, and has a charming uncommercialized character that sets it apart from other beach communities I have visited on the Gulf. The condo is tastefully decorated and fully equipted with necessities and luxuries alike (such as a very comfortable bed,pillow, linens, large flat screen televisions, cushioned lounge chairs on patio etc). In addition, the owner was very coutesous and easy to work with. I found the whole process much more user friendly than renting from local realty company. I look forward to many happy returns! Beach time is legitimate therapy :-) !!

We had a great vacation in Seagrove! The area is quiet and offers everything you need without the crowds. BeachCrest was the perfect place to stay, the condo was convenient to everything, very comfortable and well maintained. You couldn’t ask for a better view or easier access to the beautiful beach and pool. I already miss starting off the day with a cup of coffee out on the balcony. Having a nice kitchen and big TV at our disposal when the rain chased us indoors was great too. Pat is a pleasure to work with and is more than happy to share her knowledge of the area. She sincerely wants to be sure you enjoy your stay and love Seagrove as much as she does. This will certainly be our first choice for our next stay!

We just returned from this condo and it was the nicest place I have ever stayed at while visiting the Destin area the last 10 years. We were a small group of four women that take a trip each year and we all agreed that it was WONDERFUL.The pictures from the site are exactly right. It is clean and very easy access to beach. We watched the dolphins each morning too. Pat is wonderful to work with and we were a little concerned because we usually work with real estate companies. We had NO PROBLEMS and got more than we expected. Please just don't request the week we want next year :)

We were extremely happy with your beautifully furnished condo. Your linens and COMFY king bed gave me the best nights of sleep in weeks! Dolphins welcomed us on our first morning. We bicycled to Seaside and Watersound. We ate fantastic seafood all week - Goatfeathers (of all names) as our favorite. Dolphins came back to tell us goodbye. No one wanted to leave. So, as Arnold would say.... "I'll be back".

We have been visiting Seagrove Beach since the late 1950's and Beach Crest is one of my favorite palces to stay. The condo was clean and decorated very pretty and I can not even describe how comfortable the beds are, which is a big plus. Mrs. Pat went the extra mile to ensure everything was perfect for us. Thank you Mrs. Pat for contributing to our wonderful stay with my daughters at Seagrove Beach. Diana Miller

Seagrove is wonderful. The owners of this condo are great to work with! If you have never been to the gulf coast, you have missed out. We have always stayed in the hustle and bustle of Destin. This was such a welcome change. The condo was very nice. Easy access from the elevator. Beautiful views of the dunes, gulf and you could watch your kids in the pool. Very nice accomodations w/ everything you need to stay/eat there for a week. What you will find in seagrove is great places to eat and it is perfect for bike riding. If you dont want to bring your own there are several shops very close by. You can ride to seaside for great shopping and eating. IT is so much quieter then destin yet it is still close enough for an easy drive in if you want to do the outlet shopping or eat there. You can even take Hwy 20 for quick access as far as Ft. Walton. Panama City is just as easy. They have a new mall w/ Ron Jons Surf Shop, Margarettaville, Backporch, and tons of both large and small shops. We loved our stay there and there were so many families with children that the kids made a lot of friends and you could relax on the beach while they played in the waves and sand. The owners were great to work with. Couldnt ask for more!

Our family of 5 experienced a very lovely stay in this unit. It was very clean and the comfort of the 2nd floor made for great ease - and a spectacular view. We enjoyed watching dolphins and being able to hear the ocean with the doors closed. The master bedroom bed was so comfortable, with a great view. We were so pleased with the family atmosphere at the beach - so quiet and uncrowded. But our favorite part was the bike rides just 1 short mile to Seaside. This location was excellent if you enjoy spending time in the Southen Beach neighborhoods.

My family and I were lucky enough to be set up for my sister in laws wedding weekend in Mrs. Pat's condo. It had spectacular view and her extra attention and information about the area was very helpful. When we are back in this area, I will surely return to this location.
