Perfect for Large Family

This house is perfect for a large family with ample space both indoors and out. The house is well-maintained, equipped with all the essentials needed for convenience and large family meals. Cathie was a great communicator and very responsive the one time we needed her! Would definitely stay at this property again.

Family Vacay

We loved all the space in this house. The teenagers were able to have some of their own spaces while each family had a room for "home base." It was easy to get to and from the beach, walking or on the tram, although the tram was sometimes slow. We had a little trouble with the dryer and a little mix-up with a door lock that took a little longer to solve than ideal, but otherwise we didn't lack anything for our stay.

Very good location.

The location of the property is very good. The website information list, six bedrooms, but it is really only five bedrooms, which includes the carriage house. However, our experience overall was very good. The shuttle was very convenient and timely getting to the beach. The weather was very good, even though we had a couple of days that were red flag days, meaning that the ocean was pretty rough.

German Cockroaches and Little to no beach access/Overcrowding

On the first day of our stay we discovered German Cockroaches in the kitchen and the downstairs master bathroom. This was extremely unsettling to myself and my family members. We checked in on a Saturday afternoon, found the cockroaches on Sunday, and the owner had an exterminator to the property on Monday. I appreciated her fast response to the problem, however we learned, from the exterminator, that this was an ongoing issue with the house. That was extremely disappointing to learn because we were not notified in any way that we would be showing up to a house that had roaches. My family would have wanted a full refund and our plans would have changed if we had known there was an infestation. I would also like to add that there are too many houses for the pool and beach access. The pool was always extremely crowded and you couldn't find a seat due to people leaving their things in the chairs and going back to their homes. The "beach" access is dominated by the umbrella/chairs that you have to pay for and the beach where you can set up your own chairs and umbrella is less than half the size of a football field with over 100 individuals trying to set up their things in that space. We ended up having to use a public beach access 2/3 miles away from the home. Overall it was not a home that I would recommend due to the cockroaches, small beach access, and overcrowding of the entire complex in general.

Favorite Seacreast House

We have been visiting Seacrest for over 15 years and have stayed in many different homes in Seacreast, This house has been our favorite from the first time we stayed in it. It's beautiful, stocked well, clean, cozy. We have many family memeories that have taken place in this home. It's always our first choice. The only times we don't stay there is if it's already booked.
