A break at the beach

The only thing better than the location—a rooftop condo, steps away from the pool and just across the street fro the beach entrance—was our temporary home away from home. The unit is very well appointed and comfortable my wife and I needed a quick break and we got exactly what we needed. Booking was a breeze and our host, Monica was quick to respond.

We really Waterhouse. We stayed in a different unit in this building last year and loved both of them. The beach access is very convenient.

You'll Love It!

Another wonderful stay at this great property. Oceanview, amenities galore, designated beach space, and close proximity to shops-restaurants-Publix. The condo is furnished well and met all our needs. Kitchen was sufficiently stocked with basics so we cooked and ate in all week. Just note that there's no crock pot so plan accordingly. Lastly, checking in and out was very simple and straightforward, probably the easiest we've ever experienced in all our years of vacationing here. Monica is a very attentive host and was quick to respond when we needed her assistance. It was the perfect family beach vacation and we hope to return next summer!

Great Girls Weekend

We had a great time at this condo. Easy access to beach, 30a bike trail (we rented bikes and didn’t get in the car at all!), and relaxing pool just a few steps from the front door. Note that you’ll need to bring beach towels (something we all overlooked).

Great stay at Seacrest beach

Amazing stay at Seacrest. The penthouse is very comfortable and well equipped. Amazing to have a heated pool just steps away and the ocean across the street with private access. Location is perfect to enjoy Ally's beach and Rosemary beach. Definitively a great option at a great location. Commutation was excellent. We had a small issue with the entrance door and within a few minutes Monica was on it. I even got a call from the owner within 30 minutes. Definitively a management company and an owner are behind to ensure you have a 5 star stay. Hope we can go back next year.

Excellent property, excellent stay; great for families

Stayed here for a week over the summer, our first trip to 30A. The property was incredible, pics were exactly what you get. It was very very clean, the beds and linens were SUPER comfortable. You could easily fit 2 families with kids here. Beach access was super easy, the chairs were such a nice add-on. Only feedback is that the grills out by the pool need to be cleaned but thats probably on the HOA not the specific condo owners. But that fact that there even is a grill to use is awesome. With little kids, you had to drive to any restaurant down by Alys & Rosemary or up in Seagrove / Seaside. But because of the location there were not a zillion people at this property either. Lastly, the beach & water were amazing. Not very rough seas, crystal clear water, sand was so soft. Waves not big enough to boogieboard but def could skimboard. 9.5/10 will def book here again.

Family Friendly Gulf Getaway

Reasons why I’d stay again: - Monica was available and quick to answer my questions. -Prior to our arrival I was given all entry codes to the condo, beach access, pool and storage closet. -The 4th floor balcony offered a great view. - The pool was just down the hallway on the 4th floor as well. -Private beach access with complimentary beach umbrella and chairs waiting for us each day. -Separate storage closet, for all beach gear as well as beach chairs, buckets, and smaller umbrellas to use if needed. -5min quick walk to the beach -10 mins to the closest Publix -The rooms were clean Based on my experience I would definitely stay here again.

Incredible family retreat

This penthouse condo exceeded all expectations. The gulf views from the bedrooms and balcony are breathtaking. The location is ideal, with Rosemary and Alys Beaches minutes to the east and Seaside down the road to the west. The new Publix at Watersound Town Center is just 5 minutes away. The condo itself has everything you need for a relaxing family beach vacation. Our daughters loved the bunk beds with built-in TVs. The kitchen and open floorplan are ideal. The beds and furniture were incredibly comfortable. The rooftop pool is a great amenity. The fact this unit includes beach chairs takes it to another level. There's no worrying about claiming a spot on the beach each morning. The deeded access is just across the street. We had a wonderful time and can't wait to return next year.

Great Support from Owners

Excellent location and facility. We have stayed in this complex multiple times over the past 5 years but this was the best unit located on the 4th floor, close to the pool and a great view of the Gulf. There were many construction issues with upgrading the complex (which had not been communicated) but owners were responsive and fantastic at addressing the items they could influence. I would go back to the same unit.

Great Place to Stay

This condo is really nice and spacious, and the owner/manager of the unit was extremely responsive to any small issues we had during our stay. We really enjoyed the large balcony, rooftop pool area which is on the same floor, private beach access, and close proximity to Rosemary, Alys, Seacrest, and Seaside communities with many coffee shops, restaurants, shopping, etc. all within relatively easy biking distance. We rented bikes for the kids and also brought our own bikes and were able to bike everywhere we needed to go. There are a large number of bike racks just behind the building next to the parking lot. Would definitely recommend this condo and hope to stay again in the future!
