Thank you for this wonderful review regarding your recent stay with us at Palms C8! The Palms of Seagrove condo complex is in such a great location. You have Publix and the Tom Thumb within a short drive; all of the different local restaurant choices and of course, the amazing proximity to the beach. You're gulf front! It doesn't get better than that. The owners of this unit also did a fantastic job at decorating the condo and making it feel like a home away from home for their guests! We look forward to hosting you again in the future!

Very convenient location. We were able to walk across the street and rent our bikes during our stay. The ride to Seaside was just 10 minutes away. View from the balcony was gorgeous. Condo was very clean. Bed/pillows super comfy. Only negative was having to haul our luggage/stuff up the stairs and maybe that there was not an ice maker. Only two ice trays and they were empty so we had to make ice. Not that big of a deal. Would definitely stay here again.

We looked so forward to this vacation. My wife and I have suffered severe illness for the last two years and this was really our first venture out. She has also lost her mother and sister so we needed peace and relaxation. I’m 76, she’s 74. Imagine our surprise when we arrived to find there was no elevator. I’m using a cane and she struggles

We had a pleasant stay. This was the second year we stayed in this unit and would recommend a couple things. New frying pans. There was one small that looked new, but the others were not usable. There are no condiments provided. Salt and pepper would be a good start. And there are no toilet paper or paper towel refills. Just a heads up to bring your own if you reserve this unit

Thank you for your feedback! We are so glad to hear you had another pleasant stay and appreciate you choosing this unit for a second year. We value your suggestions and will definitely look into replacing the frying pans to ensure they meet our guests’ needs.
We also appreciate the suggestion regarding condiments like salt and pepper, and we will make sure to note that for future guests. Regarding paper products, a starter set of toilet paper and paper towels are provided for your convenience upon arrival, but we recommend guests bring additional supplies as needed during their stay.

We spent a week in this condo. It was clean, had everything we needed, and the beach was easily accessed from the unit. The only issue we had was the internet was not working when we arrived. I put in a maintenance ticket, and someone came out quickly and either fixed the issue with the existing router, or replaced it. We had no problems after that.

This condo was the most well stocked rental we have ever visited. We have always wondered why rentals didn't have a coffee maker with a reusable filter basket, but this one did! That's what we use at home so we never have coffee filters. The toiletries, dishwasher tabs, and laundry tabs were a great asset! We cook most of our meals in the condo and this kitchen had anything we needed! The location was amazing. We prefer being able to walk right out in the beach instead if having to cross busy roads to get there. This was perfect. We used the rental credit to get bikes. My family loved being able to ride our bikes to get ice cream or eat in Seaside. This was our first time to this area but we are already looking forward to our next trip here.

It is in a multi building development, some on the beach, consisting of maybe forty units. Ours was on the second floor-ocean front. Everything worked fine and worked. We tried to unlock at exact check in time and it would not, but one quick phone call resolved this. It does sit up on a bluff about 40 feet high and so it is not as close to the beach as some, and the view is partially blocked because of the drop off. This was minimal for ours but for the first floor in this building there would not be a view of the beach. This would be true of all units in this general Sea Grove area. But all in all it was fine and many good restaurants and bars within five minute drive.
