Host was great, unit could use a little updating, specifically night tables in bedroom. Smaller than we anticipated, outdoor space looked out at parking lot in front and concrete wall in back. Ok for short stay, a little claustrophobic for longer one.

we waited until last minute to book a place and Joe was amazing to work with. He was able to get us into one of his units which worked out perfectly for my husband and I. This is the first time we stayed at sea club and we will definitely stay here again. It has a nice pool on the Bayside with plenty of lounge chairs and access to the beach across the street. our unit had beach chairs and towels and anything else you would need for the perfect beach day.

The owner Joe was fantastic to work with. He even reached out to us on our first day to make sure we liked the condo and to see if we had any questions. The location is wonderful and Peggy who keeps the grounds looking beautiful is terrific. Can't wait to return.

Loved it!!!

Joe was a great host! The unit was clean and cozy and had everything we needed. Including beach chairs, beach towels, sun screen and a cute note and chocolates to greet us. The beach is just a short walk across the street. We also loved the pool on the bay. We saw dolphins swimming there every morning when we walked down with our coffee to watch the sunrise and enjoyed dinner there as well. The self service grills are really nice. Peggie sue keeps the pool sparkling clean and at a perfect temp. We also really enjoyed being able to get on the trolley or frog hop right out front.. I definitely recommend! We will be back!

Perfect location

The condo was located on the Bay side and only a few minutes to walk to the private beach on the ocean side. It was very clean and the people were very friendly. It was quiet, peaceful and so relaxing! I highly recommend staying here and hope to return again next year!

Great location!

100% loved everything about this stay... Water views, right on the trolley line going everywhere. The VRBO rental was stocked with more than enough, towels, dishes, beach chairs, right down to a cooler. Would highly recommend.. The only thing I could say was a negative would be the pool has no view.. Other than that.. It's perfect!

New Years

This is a great little property. Nice studio condo (no door on the bedroom). Well stocked from kitchen to beach gear to towels. You do have access to the gulf side beach. The onsite property is excellent! Nice heated pool with tables and loungers. A grassy area with more chairs. A pier out into the channel for fishing or good viewing. There is a bocce ball court as well, but bring your own balls. Trolley easily gets you up and down the key. A nice stay at this price point. Host is very responsive as well. If you go over New Years, make sure you go to the beach on the gulf side. People were setting off fireworks starting at about 8pm and continued through midnight.
