The condo and community exceeded my expectations. The unit was updated, every inch was clean, and it had what we needed in the kitchen. The mattresses and bedding were comfortable, and the towels were huge and plush.
The building is above the shop and community area of Seacrest Beach with a pool right outside. Parking was free and not assigned and we had no problem finding a spot. There are elevators with luggage racks to get the bags upstairs.
The pool was never super crowded and we were always able to get a chair. There are two pools: an almost full size wading pool and the other with a deep end. there was live music in the green outside the balcony each night; it wrapped up at 9:30. After that, it was quiet.
Seacrest Beach is right next to Rosemary Beach, less than 5 minute walk. It is also very close to Alys Beach, a 10 minute walk.
The beach entrance we were authorized to use (with a provided wristband) was a 8 minute walk away, or there was a tram every 20 minutes or so. if you’ve done your research about this area, you will know the beach is highly restricted. There was a small area we were allowed to set up in, with a slightly larger area with chairs and umbrellas available to rent. if you are used to spreading out with multiple tents and a volleyball net and a line of chairs, this is not that. It’s pretty tightly packed, but we were able to find spots each day. Fortunately, the pool and condo and bikes and area is provided plenty else to do.
