About this property

Front of Seacrest, 2500 sq ft & Porch! Steps To Pool, 4 BR, Bikes, Beach Chairs

If you are looking for a great location and a perfect place to gather with family and friends, then this Seacrest Beach coastal cottage is for you! This charming residence with great curb appeal was a "Parade of Homes" winner, and will make you feel at home the moment you pull in. With nearly 2,600 square feet of living space, you will have plenty of room to spread out and relax on your vacation. ''My Happy Place" welcomes you with a large driveway for ease of parking and a large front porch that is sure to be a comfortable gathering spot to plan/review the days activities.

Inside the home boasts an expansive living room, with open living, dining and kitchen areas making it the perfect gathering spot for entertaining. The kitchen is much larger than most and is well stocked to make you feel right at home; there is plenty of room for more than one cook. From Keurig, to latte frother, to Ninja professional blenders; we have your needs covered. Our family room is large enough for the whole family to gather. It features wood cathedral ceilings two full sized sofas (one is a sleeper), and has two additional chairs. The dining room features a large table that has seating for 8. Spare chairs in the master closet can be brought in for more seating. Also on the first floor is the master suite. The master features a king sized bed with a large walk in closet. The master bath has a soaking tub, dual vanities, and a separate shower. There is also a powder room and a full sized laundry room on the first floor. Off the laundry room, you will find a Weber gas grill on the screened in back porch.

On the second floor are two bedrooms. Both have queen size beds and one has an additional set of built-in "adult size" bunk beds. These bed rooms are both attached to the Jack and Jill Bathroom with separate vanity areas for each bedroom. There is also a large window seat on the second floor landing which is a great place for reading or a nap. On the third floor, there is a loft/4th bedroom with a queen size bed that will be a hit with kids of all ages! Many board games and an Xbox 360 are available and a deck is attached to enjoy the beautiful views and catch the sunset. All bedrooms feature flat screen TV’s.

If you have high standards, you will not be disappointed in "My Happy Place".

Moving outside, our home is located in the front part of the Seacrest neighborhood on one of the larger original lots. It is only steps from the neighborhood 12,000 square foot pool and a short distance to the beach, 30A pedestrian path, and the shops and restaurants in Rosemary Beach and Alys Beach. The neighborhood offers a free shuttle to the beach in season (Mar 1-Oct 31), that is only a phone call away. The tram will take you, your chairs, coolers and toys straight to the beach. To make packing easier, we have beach towels, beach chairs and umbrellas at the home as well as beach toys and a cooler that you are welcome to use.

We hope that "My Happy Place" can serve as the place where you spend your vacation and make your memories.

Beautiful home!
We loved this spacious home with its beautiful decor and cozy front porch. The location was perfect for our family of 6 & we appreciated the bikes, beach chairs & towels and cooler! We will definitely be back!

A nice house!
The home itself is very nice and clean. It was perfect for our family. The furniture is very comfortable and overall a cozy vibe. The kitchen was very well stocked with appliances. Unfortunately, we had several issues with the security at Secrest. It got to the point where we were being harassed by them for a variety of things that we did not know we were supposed to do. It was not made extremely clear to us about the extensive check in process With the community that you have to go through in order to park your car and use the pools. We were very confused several times with what color wristbands were the correct ones we were supposed to be wearing. It was very frustrating to have to deal with consistent interactions with security when we were just trying to enjoy a very , relaxing family vacation. If this house was located in Rosemary, we would definitely come back and stay here but unfortunately, we do not have any plans to visit the community of Seacrest again due to its overbearing security and rules and regulations.

The house was spacious and beautifully decorated. I have never stayed anywhere that was as well stocked with extras. The chairs, beach towels, kitchen items, coffee bar, and bikes. We spent so much time on the front porch! Perfect spot to hang out. Hope we can stay there again in the future.

Seacrest
This house was perfect for our two families that equaled 9. It does only have one king bed but my husband and I don’t mind sharing a queen. The mattresses were VERY comfy! This house has everything! No need to bring much besides your swimwear. The kitchen is stocked with everything you need to cook, including spices. My only complaint was the beach. There is a small section of beach for the whole community and nearly impossible to get a spot near the front. Most days we opted to skip the beach until 4 or so when the crowds subsided. Also note the tram only runs from 9am - 530pm. But the walk from the house to the beach isn’t bad at all about 5 minutes each way. You also can not bring anything with wheels into the community ( which is across the street) on the beach side. No bikes, buggies, wheeled ice chest. None of it. So overall for the price and location I say it’s a great rental!

About the host

Hosted by Angela Carlig

Host profile image
We are from Franklin, TN, and have been vacationing in the Panhandle since moving to Tennessee 15 years ago. Growing up in Indiana and Illinois, we have always had a love for the beach. We have visited many around the world, but the Seacrest/Rosemary beach area won our heart years ago. We love the beach and the crystal clear water. The sand truly is like sugar. We chose Seacrest because of its "family friendly" atmosphere. It has a fantastic pool and beach tram, and it is so close to the great shopping and dining in Rosemary/Seacrest/Alys. We can literally park our car and get to everything on foot/bike.

This truly is our "Happy Place", and we look forward to sharing it with you and your family.

Why they chose this property

This was a lengthy process for us. We looked for years, and we were picky. We wanted a beach house with the amenities and comforts of home, not just a home with a lot of bedrooms and bathrooms. The feel of the home was important. We fell in love with this house the moment we walked in. From the inviting porch, to the wood cathedral ceilings, to the large entertaining area, you will appreciate the space and attention to detail. This house not only has beds for 10 people, but it also has living space for many more. The best vacations are spent with friends and family, so we wanted a home with large gathering areas.

We wanted to be in the front of the neighborhood and close to the pool, so this home gave us the space we wanted at 2500+ square feet, the location, and the details that we appreciate.

What makes this property unique

Large first floor master, huge kitchen, large laundry room, custom details of a high end home. We loved the large front porch that is set back from the road, which is a great place to relax before starting the day, or as a place to unwind and review the day. I like having all the comforts I enjoy at home, but with a beachy “well appointed” vibe. With 2600 square feet, our home has a lot of living space, so you can relax and unwind without feeling like you are on top of everyone. We rented many homes In Seacrest, and they all had a lot of bathrooms and bedrooms, but when you wanted to sit and watch TV or hang out with your kids, there was never enough space. This house afforded us the perfect combination of the space we needed to be together, and the space necessary to spread out.
