This was one of our favorite places we’ve stayed at Seychelles! It was very clean, neat, and not cluttered. The appliances are newer and it’s the first condo we’ve stayed at with a working ice maker! It had plenty of space for me, my husband, our 3 year old, and my mom. An added perk was the gate on the porch having a key! That was wonderful, especially with a 3 year old. The owner communicated perfectly and answered any questions I had QUICKLY! We will be staying here again in the future.

The condo worked very well for our family of six (parents, 9,7, 5, and 3). I loved that the kids could be in the pool while we were cooking dinner or getting ready to go to the beach. They were happy and entertained and we could still keep an eye on them through the glass. The pool to beach access was fantastic with with the kids. The beach chair service is something I wouldn't have splurged for, but it was an absolutely lovely thing to have for our stay. The host was reasonably quick to respond and very helpful and understanding. If we plan a similar trip in the future, I would definitely want to book here again!

Great Stay, convenient, clean, and worth it.

We had a great stay at this home. We had plenty of stores, and dining options within 5 minutes. The first floor was convenient with small children . We did not ride an elevator once during our stay. The patio pool access was awesome, and beach access was easy.The home was clean when we arrived. Susan and Ken were great hosts, were willing to help and prompt to reply.

Great communication with host. Loved being able to just go from patio straight to the pool. Also loved not having to go through the lobby to get to the condo. Kitchen had everything and primary bed was really comfortable. Only mildly disappointing issue was not being able to adjust the air conditioning below 73. I prefer a much cooler temperature at night, but the fan in the bedroom worked really well and I was still able to sleep fairly well. Overall, enjoyed my stay and would definitely stay here again.

Booked this condo last minute and very glad we did! The 1st Floor patio with a locking gate is a game-changer for families with kids! The condo was clean and we had no issues with check in or departure. Susan communicated everything up front and it was an easy process overall. BONUS: Schooners is right next door!

Convenience at its best.

We enjoyed our stay and being on the first floor ground level with access out the sliding door straight to the pool/beach is worth it. Never once stepped in an elevator and parking was super easy. Listing is exactly as stated and I Definitely recommend. Condo to beach chairs in less than 5 minutes makes it easy to go back and forth to carry less.

My family enjoyed our stay. The first floor was great and the condo had everything we needed including beach toys and chairs. Susan was easy to communicate with. The only aggravation which reflects on the resort and not the host are the armbands that are required which are hard for kids to keep up with due to their small wrist. One of our 10 year olds lost one and they cost to replace. The master bed was so comfortable. I slept so well which is not normal on vacation for me.

About the host

Hosted by Susan Tarter

Host profile image
We want you to love our home as much as we do. Please let us know what we can do to improve your home away from home. We have been updating our home since we purchased on March 1st, 2021, so we would love your feedback!

Why they chose this property

We fell in love with this ground floor unit because of the poolside/beach front access -- we enjoy the amenities of a high rise without the hassle of elevators or stairs; this is a home run! We love this quiet end of the beach which is close to the State Park and next to Schooners.

What makes this property unique

The biggest difference is simple: this is true first-floor, gated walkout access to the pool and beach.

At Seychelles, most units require elevators, long hallways, and multiple trips hauling beach gear. Here, you walk straight out your private patio gate onto the pool deck and head directly to the beach. No waiting. No lobby traffic. No dragging coolers and chairs through the building.

For families, this layout is a game-changer. Parents can relax on the patio while kids swim in the pool just steps away. Need to grab snacks, sunscreen, or take a quick break? You’re back inside in seconds. Guests consistently say this convenience is what makes them book again.

We also include seasonal beach service (umbrella + 2 chairs), which adds value and simplifies your beach days.

The condo itself is clean, comfortable, and thoughtfully stocked — from a fully equipped kitchen to quality linens and a comfortable king bed guests regularly mention in reviews.

Located on the quieter end of Thomas Drive, right next to Schooners, you get the perfect mix of convenience and relaxation without the heavy crowds found elsewhere in PCB.

In a building where many units are similar, this one stands out for one reason above all: it removes friction from your vacation. Easy access. Easy parking. Easy beach days.

And that’s exactly why guests come back.
