Enjoy My "Chocolate Sundae"
Year Purchased: 2009
Why the Owner Chose Seacrest Beach Resort
I bought this beach home because I enjoy the white sands and the beauty of this beach. Every season at the beach has its own unique beauty. I grew up in LA (Lower Alabama), and although I live in Atlanta now, the Panama City Beach area has a special place in my heart. Some really great golf courses are in the area, and great shopping is a short drive in either direction.
But, if you go to the beach to sleep late, read books into the late night, and enjoy great food, my beach house is just the place for you and your family. Some of the best chefs from Atlanta restaurants have relocated in the area, and I'm happy to give you a directory and recommendations to the better food in the area.
The Unique Benefits at this House
My home has two stories with 10 foot ceilings in each. My family loves the open stairway with ease of moving furniture in or rearranging. There are 4 complete bedrooms and bathrooms which is wonderful when everyone gets together. With one master bedroom downstairs and another upstairs, my home can comfortably accommodate anyone who has a problem with stairs. The pool is only a few steps away and the beach is within walking distance or via complimentary cart service from door to sand. My grandchildren love the play fountain out front of our complex and just a short walk away.

Another Great Vacation

We enjoyed our stay this past August at Chocolate Sundae. It was exactly as described and provided all the amenities we needed. Our family has been traveling to Seacrest for the past several years with two other couples and several children. There was adequate sleeping space for all of us; each family taking their own room and we were even able to bring babysitters and give them the room downstairs. Thanks Judy for everything! We will be returning. We love Seacrest and love this house.

Wow, I can't say enough about Judy and "My Chocolate Sundae". Judy was such a pleasure to work with, she answered all of our questions, addressed any concerns, and helped in every possible way to make this a relaxing vacation. The house is SO organized, and has many extras to offer. The beach towels were fabulous and anything you needed for the beach was right there...beach chairs, unbrellas, toys, boggie boards, coolers....she's thought of everything! We were traveling with several small children and anything we could need was provided (highchair, toys, pack/play). The location of the house was great...an easy walk to the pool or to the shops. The kids really enjoyed having the empty lot beside us to play outside while we relaxed on the big front porch. We cooked almost every meal at the house-the grill was great and the kitchen was fully equiped with anything we could possibly need. Our group has been to Seacrest several times, and working with Judy has been the best experience we've had. This house was a PERFECT fit for our family and left nothing to be desired! We will definately be staying at My Chocolate Sundae again....hopefully, for many more summers! I would not hesitate to recommend this location for anyone staying in Seacrest.

My husband, myself, and 10 other adults stayed at the Chocolate Sundae over Labor Day weekend. We were going to be in the area for a wedding down the road in the Seacrest area. The Chocolate Sundae could not have been any better suited for our weekend. The house itself was fabulous! The decor, bedding, towels, and kitchen area were very nice and everyone was able to move around without feeling like we were crowded. The house was immaculate, and we had plenty of bathrooms to accommodate everyone's needs throughout the weekend. The area in which the house is located is extremely beautiful, and the pool area provides more than enough room for a crowd, and is family friendly with shallow and deeper pools. In looking around the Chocolate Sundae, it is most definitely family friendly, having all the necessary "infant/toddler/child supplies". We weren't able to use the beach area across the road because of Tropical Storm/Depression Lee, but had a wonderful time at the pool (the one sunny day)! Due to the rain, we spent part of a day at Pier Park which was a great way to spend a rainy Saturday morning. I would highly recommend the Chocolate Sundae to anyone who is looking for a nice getaway. The house was wonderful.....even with a lot of rain!

5 stars on this one!! Loved the CHOCOLATE SUNDAE!!! It had everything! What was so impressive is that Judy had the "little things" in mind...extra paper plates, towels, etc. And having all the beach items was FANTASTIC!! The beach towels, umbrellas, chairs, coolers...all we really needed was our suits and clothes! We had two families for the week and there was plenty of space!!! The kiddos just loved having their own rooms!!! And the TV's in every room was a definite plus! Judy was so accomodating...any question that we had, she was right back with us with an answer. A++++++ The location of the house is great...literally a block from the pool---which is AMAZING. The kiddos loved being able to ride their bikes everywhere!! We also want to say that the new Mexican restaurant was great!!! Great addition to the Seacrest area!! Also, we also returned to Angelina's for Italian...just one of our family favs! We've rented several times in Seacrest and this one tops it off!! Would most definitely recommend!!! LOVE IT, LOVE IT, LOVE IT!!!

Our family of 9 (grandparents, children and grandchildren, ages 6, 3 and 1) thoroughly enjoyed our week(June 24 - July 2) in beautiful Seacrest Beach at "Chocolate Sundae". We love the 30A area and this home helped to put it at the top of our list for future visits. The descriptions, photos and wonderful touches were all as described. Upon arrival we found everything in order and ready to make us feel right at home. Judy was wonderful to work with and stayed in contact with us to make sure we had everything we needed....and has done such a wonderful job with supplying the home with all the things you need to make your stay so very enjoyable. The pool was FANTASTIC, the grandchildren LOVED it, and the tram to the beach was very helpful although the walk to the beach is not bad if you don't try to carry to much(as we always do) I would definitely recommend this home and location to friends and family. As for dinning out we always enjoy "The Red Bar" near Grayton Beach(carry cash or check) and this year we tried out The Great Southern Cafe(I recommend "Grits a Ya Ya") and The Melt Down (airstream trailer that serves gourmet grilled cheese sandwiches) both in Seaside. Hope your stay will be as GREAT as ours was!!!! THANKS Judy!!!!

We booked this wonderful beach home only one week in advance. We were blessed to have found not only the perfect location, but also the perfect home. We traveled with another family, 9 of us total. We had 3 teenage girls, and two boys, who were 10 and 11. We had more than enough room, and everything we needed! This was our first experience staying in a house located in a resort, rather than a beachfront condo. We all, including the girls, loved it! I will never stay in Destin or PCB again, 30 A is my new favorite! The home had so many extras, and the resort is simply amazing. We rode bikes, walked for miles, swam in the pool, rode the waves in the gulf, ate amazing donuts from Charlie's Donut Truck, and explored so many amazing places that 30 A has to offer! Thank you for a wonderful week, we will be back!

This was an excellent vacation property for my family, sister in laws family, and inlaws. We had 6 adults and 4 children ages 8 and under. All we had to bring were our clothes. Judy has the house very well equipped. The kitchen was very well stocked so you can cook all your meals at home. There were plenty of items for the beach including lots of towels, chairs, toys, umbrellas, etc. All of the baby equipment including crib, walker, highchair, toys, etc had me sold instantly. The house is very nicely furnished and there is nothing shabby in it! She was excellent to work with and easy to get in touch with for any of our questions or needs. I hope to be back again for another family vacation!!!

Our vacation couldn't of been better. The house was so cute and enjoyable. The 12 girls (and Mom) loved every minute of our stay. The kitchen was perfect for cooking meals at night and had everything accessible. The beds were comfortable and the showers were over the top.

We just returned from our stay. It was so wonderful that I couldn't wait to write this review. The preliminary steps in securing the property were simple and Judy was very gracious. Upon arrival we found the home to be just as stated in the listing. NO surprises! The home is so complete that all guests need to do is bring clothing and grab some food at the Publix or Winn Dixie just a short distance away. There are plenty of toys for children, all the umbrellas and chairs you need, and coolers for the beach outing. There are plenty of towels. The young grandchildren didn't want to go home. The home is very clean. The furnishings are tasteful and comfortable. All of the appliances work and are higher end. The free wireless connection was a nice feature. The proximity is close to restaurants and shops at Seacrest as well as Rosemary Beach. In summary I can honestly say that this rental was worth every penny we paid for the fun and enjoyment our family was able to share in clean, comfortable, and fun surroundings.

"Chocolate Sundae" was everything we thought it would be and more. The house is awesome and has anything you could ever need. The ice maker was a huge HIT! The beds are very confortable and the kitchen is huge. Loved how close we were to the pool and the awesome golf cart pick up for the beach. The house was perfect for 6 couples and not cramped at all! Judy was incredible throughout the whole process and such a joy to work with. We had a blast and will definitely be back in the future.
