Great location. Older building but the room had been updated and was very nice. Super clean and communication with the host was superb. I would have preferred a king size bed but no complaints, we knew it was a queen when we booked it. Perfect place for 2 people.
We really enjoyed our stay at Seacrest. Everything we needed was right there and the views from our patio was the best! We can’t wait to come again next June!!
This property was perfect for us, but would be good for a small family as well. Like other reviews, we would only comment that the sleeper sofa is past it's prime, but we would definitely stay again!
Check in instructions were very detailed and easy to follow. The weather was amazing, however the beach/water was infested with jellyfish, we weren’t able to enjoy the ocean much! But we were able to go to Destin FL for a day trip and enjoyed the ocean there. On our last full day the dolphins finally showed up and stayed all day, so that was enjoyable!
Location was awesome! Close to store, pizza, and shops. Quick and functional elevators. Good sized pool. Easy to get out to the beach and a bonus bin with rafts etc that people don’t want to take with them. There is the capability of renting chairs on the beach. Be sure to bring your own amenities for the bathroom and the kitchen.
mom and daughter stay and received work my mom passed away while we were there. sitting on that balcony watching the waves and listening to the surf brough me peace and I will always remember this trip. the folks in that area are so friendly and it was a healing vacation
Location was great and condo was good. Only negatives about this listing is the furniture is dingy and needs to replaced. Also, the parking was a little aggravating due to the parking lot being extremely small and we had to park in the over flow parking lot across the street which was tough with little kids.
Most everything perfect. Just really needs to replace couch and ottomans. Ceiling fan or box fan for bedroom would be nice. Towels could be better
Don’t mean to sound picky. Its perfect location and access to pool and beach is great. View is so good!!! Just couch truly takes away from how nice it is. Feels dirty
Unfortunately this place had a very strong musty/moldy smell in the bedroom. Also, there was mold on the shower ceiling. Besides those two thing the rest of the place was very clean and the view was great. I feel like a ceiling fan would help in the bedroom to circulate air.

Anytime guests encounter anything that is not to their satisfaction, we always want them to contact us as soon as they perceive an issue or concern so that coordinated action can be taken. In this particular case, we were only made aware of a possible issue by the cleaning crew (within an hour after guest departure) and we immediately engaged professional expert contractors to evaluate and eliminate any potential concerns for future guests and to provide ongoing protection for the property in general. We certainly have and will continue to take an active management approach for any and all concerns which are brought to our attention while any guest is in residence or, if they prefer, following their departure. While we appreciate and value after-the-fact review comments, we always request and encourage on-site real-time feedback from guests so that we can take timely action to address any concerns as soon as they arise. Of course we are dependent on guest feedback and with it, we aim to continue to maximize every experience!
The property was nice. Walking distance to an ice cream shop, 2 good restaurants, and small grocery store. From previous stays at other condos there were some simple spices usually left by other renters but this place had zero. Not even salt and pepper. Also usually a small bottle of dish soap by the sink. Again none. The condo itself was nice just wish they would change out the couch and chair. Very outdated and looked dirty. I found an extra sheet and put it on the couch.

The traveler
We enjoyed our visit to the condo. The view was beautiful and the weather was very nice. However the matteress in the bedroom was said to be a pillow top mattress, don't think so, very uncomfortable. Also, no hangers in the closet, which is a small thing but, NO hangers in the closet! Would be nice to have a better system for the lock other than a lockbox. And just so you know the air fresheners are very strong, very strong.

We are always glad when our guests enjoy our condo and the beautiful view. Our condo is fully furnished and we make every effort to keep our unit stocked with everything our guests need for a comfortable stay. We encourage our guests to contact us when they arrive, during their stay, or after they leave if anything is not to their satisfaction so we can replenish supplies or make replacements. Because guests’ preferences are different, we try to provide flexibility (e.g. removable/adjustable plug-in air fresheners, various combinations of linens/mattress covers, etc…) so our guests can customize their experience to meet their individual needs. The lockbox system approved by the Seacrest Association is located at our unit’s door and offers multiple access conveniences such as easy check-in, secure key storage while at the beach, and easy key access for the whole family. We consider the comments from our guests important and use them to continually maintain a comfortable, clean, and cozy condo for our guests’ vacations.
The overall cleanliness was good. The rooms and floors were clean. However, I was a little weary of sitting on the furniture as it is red in the photos but was very dirty, black on the arm rests, pillows and ottomans. I covered the ottomans to use them and sat on a blanket. I would love to return but I will not until I see that the furniture has been replaced.
The condo was perfect! It was very clean and neat and it had everything we needed, including ice in the freezer! The couch was a little uncomfortable but it served its purpose.
The location of the condo in the building is very convenient. Its close to the elevator and stairs and takes no time to get to the beach and pool.
The built in bunkbeds would be great if you had a couple of kids with you. We didnt use them but they are comfortable. The balcony is big and i loved having the lay out chairs on the balcony. The view is amazing! I saw so many dolphins just sitting on the balcony. The pool and hot tub were great as well.
Check in/out and communication with Mr. Halpin was easy and he made sure everything was good for us. We really enjoyed my birthday getaway and will definitely stay in this condo again!

View and location on beach awesome
The view from the balcony and location on beach was awesome. Did appreciate the washer/dryer. The sofa and foot stools were very old worn and appeared dirty. Would not want to have young children around them. Only had about 4-6 teaspoons and tablespoons together so had to keep washing them or use plastic. Only one remote for the bedroom and living room TV so had to move back and forth. Only one roll of TP provided, no tissues or paper towels, seems kind of cheap. Little things can make the difference.

I am sorry that the condo unit was not exactly what you were looking for. Of course the unit is professionally cleaned and inspected after every guest leaves and we fully expect, and have always received, a high level of cleanliness and functionality regarding every aspect of the unit. We certainly would request the cleaners to promptly return to the unit if any guest let us know they were not totally satisfied upon arrival. Similarly, if something such as a TV control has been misplaced, we certainly would have provided another upon request. We advertise the unit for up to 4 persons, and the silverware certainly provides a full place setting plus extras for that number (we don't provide plastic of course). In our rental agreement with each guest, we always encourage direct contact with us regarding any concerns upon arrival, and throughout the duration of the stay, and we clearly indicate that we provide one roll of toilet paper and that we do not supply other paper products. We realize that these things might be expected by guests and we want to make sure they arrive at the condo with the personal things they need to have the best possible stay with us. Thank you for your comments and feedback, and yes, we certainly agree that the view of the beach and ocean is fabulous from the balcony!
Overall the condo was nice and clean but it had a few issues. The entire condo smelled musty and was very humid. The thermostat showed that it was over 80% humidity our entire stay even after keeping the AC on and all doors closed all week except when entering/exciting the unit. The chair and couch were dirty and felt damp when we arrived. The toilet rocked on the uneven floor. Other than these issues and some other minor touch up issues the condo is nice and a great location.
This property was so worth it. We haven’t been on the beach in 8 years. The proximity to the beach and local restaurants was amazing. I will definitely be back in the future.
My daughter, granddaughter and I stayed for a long weekend, 3 nights. The location and beach was great. The condo was not very clean, especially the bathroom. You pay a cleaning fee and expect the condo to be clean. The furniture is very old and uncomfortable. Would not recommend.
