Keywords: Condo
NOT A DUMP!! Guaranteed! There has been much attention to detail. Look closely at the pictures and compare to other "original" Seacrest condos, circa 1996, that have just been painted. Check out the RENOVATIONS list below. This is a very cozy beach condo perfect for a couple or a couple with 2 young children. The built-in bunks are ideal for the little ones and can be closed off from the living area by the pocket door. Large tile is used throughout and there is absolutely NO carpet. Custom wooden 2" blinds cover the double bedroom window.
Our cleaning ladies are retired sisters and one is retired from the military. They are OCD when it comes to cleaning and strive for perfection. People have complained that they have had to clean other condos upon arrival because they were dissatisfied with the lack of cleanliness. You will not have that problem with Ms. Jan and Ms. Paula. They are truly domestic goddesses.

FAVORITE RESTAURANTS:
Cosmos on Canal Road in Orange Beach - Prefer lunch - not as crowded. Wonderful food and reasonably priced.
Happy Harbor on County Road 6 on the Bon Secour River - great food, not crowded, very casual, good prices - Not well known-YET!
Bahama Bob's - I love to walk down the beach and sit on the deck for lunch. This summer they had a wonderful smoked tuna appetizer that they smoked on the premises. I had it for an entree twice!
Lulu's is always a fun place but be prepared for a long wait during peak season.

Map & Owner's Profile
Beachfront - Custom Condo - Attention to Detail
Why the Owner Chose Seacrest
West Beach is very family oriented and not filled with high density condos. You will not feel that someone is invading your personal space while enjoying the beach. We are located only minutes from restaurants and entertainment including water parks and putt-putt golf and shopping! There are also many golf courses nearby. The wilderness of the Bon Secour Wildlife Refuge on Ft Morgan Road is excellent for hiking and bird watching. The Backcountry Trail off Canal Road has miles of trails for biking and walking complete with bathrooms, water fountains and picnic facilities. You can have the perfect dolphin watching experience from our private balcony.
Owner's Map of Seacrest
We are proud to offer our vacation condo to you for rental. You will love the relaxed beachfront comfort in this low density condominium complex. There is nothing more relaxing than taking an early morning walk on the sugar white beach and listening to the sounds of the surf and the sea gulls.

Great condo in a great location. This condo is very clean and nicely decorated with comfortable furnishings in a well kept building. The owner has provided everything needed from sitting on the beach to cooking a gourmet meal. But who wants to cook on vacation with so many restaurants to choose from. This condo is definitly worth looking into .
Owner response:I am so glad you enjoyed the condo and your vacation. Come back anytime you need to relax and escape the real world.
Recommended for:Romantic getaway, girls getaway, age 55+, families with young children.

Returned for another stay at this condo and again was more that satisfied with the place. It has been upgraded and is in a nice, quiet part of the beach; perfect location. Highly recommend. If you want something other than just the usual fried food experiences try Cosmos; exactly 10 miles from Seacrest. I found it to be by far the best place to eat there, lunch or dinner. It compares with any of the upscale places I have gone to in Destin or Panama City and is very reasonable considering the food quality and variety.

What a great place! Your condo is very well decorated and has everything a family needs. Clean, neat & tidy. We will recommend it to others. The water is not as clear and the beaches not as clean as past visits to the Gulf. We have learned throughout the week, however, that this is due to the west wind stirring up the water and blowing everything in this direction. Interesting how it all works. Nevertheless, the sound of the water is so peaceful and is my favorite part about the beach. You obviously have class and appreciate the quality of things. We sincerely are grateful. Thank you for sharing your little slice of heaven with our family.

Our family enjoyed our stay immensely. It was a long drive here but very worth it! It's been a long time since I've been so relaxed and peaceful. My husband probably enjoyed this vacation more than any other in the last 3 years. We all loved the condo and our 2 children were happy to see that there were beach toys here as we forgot to bring their toys. They enjoyed the pool and my son especially enjoyed the hot tub since he's a little cold natured. We were lucky enough to see the dolphins swimming across the Gulf right in front of the condo. Most of my time was spent reading on the balcony or by the pool while listening to the beautiful sounds of the Gulf. The condo is in a great location and had everything our family needed. Thanks so much for sharing your condo. We will definitely recommend it to others.

The end of another spring break in Gulf Shores. Although the weather has not been ideal (wind, cloudy, etc.), we still had a great time!! One day walking around Bonsecour Wildlife Refuge, one day in Fairhope/Mobile, one day at Tanger Outlet, one day walking back country trails in the State Park and, of course, walking the beach whenever possible. Ate at Doc's (great fish), the Oyster House, Gulf Shores Steamaer and 1/2 price banana split at Brewsters on Thursday (bring your own banana). Highlight was our pile of steamed shrimp at Sea & Suds eaten out over the water. Did not get to Lambert's in Foley for "throwed rolls", but there is always next year. you have a great facility for our situation (couple). Great view and location!! The only hiccough for the week was that the internet went down 1/2 way through the week. Not that we were using it that much as we weren't in the condo a lot. Kind of hate to leave for the cold of Michigan. Rick/Bonna - Big Rapids, MI

We have thoroughly enjoyed our stay here at Seacrest. It was a short trip but we had a great time. It was sunny but the winds were fierce. We weren't expecting the strong winds but we had a lot of laughs. We got turned around once on the way here (no surprise to us) but other than that it was great! The condo is so precious & very neat. I would recommend it to any couple or small family. The food at Lambert's was great and incredibly filling. My husband was alsmost hit by two thrown rolls - watch out! We also enjoyed Doc's Seafood and our time by the pool. Now, we are headed back to T-Town. God Bless & Roll Tide - Josh & Melanie

Everyday was sunny & 70 degrees. Your condo is wonderful. We had a great time. I built a Fairy House on the beach. We went to a movie, "How to Train A Dragon" in 3D. Shopped at the Wharf - ate great dinners. We really like Bahama Bob's. Went to the Gulf Shores Zoo and the alligator place. Took a dolphin cruise. I want to stay ! Thank You! the Nolllins

Me and my sister really enjoyed the bunk-beds. Over all I enjoyed every thing." - Sophie Thank you, Sophie. I hope you and your sister return for a visit. I hope your parents had a great time, also!

My wife and I came here for a delayed honeymoon and don't want to leave! Everyday had great weather and we loved having access to such a nice condo right on the beach! We got to see Iron Man 2 and go eat at Lambert's in Foley. Amazing food you don't want to miss. My wife and I loved it here at Seacerest and hope to return when we can afford it! Great honeymoon and met some incredible, friendly people! Thanks for everything and can't wait to come back! Lauren and Stephen (married April 17th, 2010)
