The home is beautiful. It is in a quiet, beautiful neighborhood, arranged exactly as described and perfect for a relaxing beach/pool vacation. It has the largest wrap around porch of any we saw in the area, which made it wonderful for rain showers and relaxing. It is a very short walk to the lagoon pool, but the tram, bikes or car drop off is necessary to get to the beach. Carol is a terrific communicator, and everything was organized perfectly for our stay. with all the beach towels, pool and beach supplies we ever could have needed.
All the accommodations and supplies for young children were a wonderful benefit. The King beds in both masters are wonderfully comfortable. Note: the 2nd floor master bed mattress is very high off the ground. Also of note, there is a door that leads to the 2nd floor balcony in the bunk room.
Seacrest Beach is very crowded, yet others vacationing, also trying to find small spots to set up were wonderful and friendly. It is the rental company and its chairs, many of them empty, that dominates the beach, leaving only a small area for home/condo renters.
We suggest trying Inlet Beach, which is much less crowded, with fewer steps down to the beach. There is car parking, but fewer than 200 spots, so going early am or in the evening works better. We also loved Camp Helen State Park, where there is a gorgeous pristine beach (long walk to it) and beautiful hiking paths/views for those wanting to get away from crowds for a day. Eden House State Park is gorgeous for those who want to hike, see oaks with hanging Spanish moss or picnic in the shade.
