  Spent a luxurious week, was happy with the friendly layout, ease of access to the beach, comfort of the furniture. The house is perfectly set between the quiet luxury of Rosemary beach and the bustle of Seaside beach. Close to grocers, seafood markets, etc. Loved the quiet, and loved cooking in the kitchen with the large dining room. Owners were easy to deal with, and the house was everything they promised! Will come back to this house every year, if I can. Best Value in SEACREST!

  Recommended for: Sightseeing, tourists without a car, girls getaway, families with young children, adventure seekers, romantic getaway, age 55+, families with teenagers.

  Owner response: We are delighted you enjoyed your beach week.

  We really liked the layout of the house. It was perfect having the bedrooms on the first floor when returning from the beach and pool. We shared the home with another family and found that there was plenty of room for everyone. The kitchen area was large and had a very nice walk in pantry. The kitchen was fully stocked with dishes, pots and pans, etc... and had everything we needed for cooking meals for 10 people. It was an easy walk to the pool and beach and a great location for taking a morning walk/run along 30a. I would highly recommend it for large families or 2 families vacationing together.

  While the property was very nice, we probably would not rent this particular home again. I did not really like the lay out of the home. Also the owner may want to check the blinds in the home. Quite a few have broken strings and do not open correctly or at all. Could also use a newer grill. If you move it, it starts to fall apart.

  Recommended for: Girls getaway.

  Owner response: Hi Janet, Thank you for your review. We were waiting for the new blinds to arrive and I'm sorry they were not installed prior to your visit. All window blinds have now been replaced. The grill is being looked at. I am sorry that the layout of the home wasn't your cup of tea. The living area upstairs and the bedroom down definitely appeals to people who enjoy having two second story decks, but I guess it's not for everyone. We appreciate your visit and hope you went home with some lasting fond memories. Jennifer
