About the host
Hosted by Susan Tarter
We want you to love our home as much as we do. Please let us know what we can do to improve your home away from home. We have been updating our home since we purchased on March 1st, 2021, so we would love your feedback!
Why they chose this property
We fell in love with this ground floor unit because of the poolside/beach front access -- we enjoy the amenities of a high rise without the hassle of elevators or stairs; this is a home run! We love this quiet end of the beach which is close to the State Park and next to Schooners.
What makes this property unique
The biggest difference is simple: this is true first-floor, gated walkout access to the pool and beach.
At Seychelles, most units require elevators, long hallways, and multiple trips hauling beach gear. Here, you walk straight out your private patio gate onto the pool deck and head directly to the beach. No waiting. No lobby traffic. No dragging coolers and chairs through the building.
For families, this layout is a game-changer. Parents can relax on the patio while kids swim in the pool just steps away. Need to grab snacks, sunscreen, or take a quick break? You’re back inside in seconds. Guests consistently say this convenience is what makes them book again.
We also include seasonal beach service (umbrella + 2 chairs), which adds value and simplifies your beach days.
The condo itself is clean, comfortable, and thoughtfully stocked — from a fully equipped kitchen to quality linens and a comfortable king bed guests regularly mention in reviews.
Located on the quieter end of Thomas Drive, right next to Schooners, you get the perfect mix of convenience and relaxation without the heavy crowds found elsewhere in PCB.
In a building where many units are similar, this one stands out for one reason above all: it removes friction from your vacation. Easy access. Easy parking. Easy beach days.
And that’s exactly why guests come back.
