Great place for the price
Great home for my family. Roomy and clean. My teens loved riding their bikes up and down 30A, but it was a little nerve wracking for me as a Mom with the kids crossing 98 to get to 30A. That was the only negative to the location. BUT once the underground tunnel is built it should solve this problem. Also, road noise from the master bedroom was certainly noticeable. I slept with the bathroom fan on and it was no problem for me. Otherwise, all good.

Winking Turtle is in close proximity to public beach access.
The beds were extremely comfortable. The property was accommodating for our family. The master bedroom does face HWY 98, road noise was somewhat bothersome, used loud sound machine to drown out noise. Diane was extremely prompt in her response and helpful. The beach was beautiful and clean!

Great location
We really enjoyed staying at this property. Check in was very easy and even with some issues we had(no fault of the property or owners, weather related) everything was solved quickly which we appreciated! Parking is pretty tight so I’d suggest not trying to park more than 2 mid size cars. We had a mid sized SUV and a car and it fit. As for the neighbor, and this was made clear by the property manager and the reviews, they really take things to the extreme with the dog whistle alarm we could hear while not even stepping on their property?? It was honestly ridiculous, but we abided by the advice we received and did not even try to walk the dogs anywhere near his house. Overall the property was great and was in a good location for what we needed. Beach access is right across the street which is super convenient, and Rosemary beach is only about a .9 mile walk. Thanks again for having us!

Not ideal.
This was not what we had in mind when we booked. The location was way outside of the Seacrest area. You have to cross a four lane major road with no light or cross walk to get to the beach access road. Or you can walk 1/2 mile to the next red light and then back 1/2 mile to get to the beach access road. If you have a family this is far from ideal. There is no beach access to seacrest. There is no community pool, No amenities. No beach towels. There is no backyard or anyplace to go outside the house. The back porch is an old wooden deck that is filthy and backs up to the main road with all the cars flying by. The road was very very busy. Lots of motorcycles, trucks, loud mufflers all the time. The neighbors had an alarm on their property line and if you get within 10’ it sets off a high pitch noise. The outside of the house is dark and feels unsafe. There are zero lights outside on the house and there are no street lights. Owner was responsive and offered $50 back because we had sand in one of the bunk beds. Nice people but would never stay here again.

Great location for family beach vacation
The property was clean and comfortable. Check in was easy and everything was as pictured. The location was perfect—a six to seven minute walk to the beach. We were worried about crossing the busy highway, but it’s divided and has clearly marked sidewalks which made it easy. Walking distance to restaurants and shops as well. Highly recommend it!

Nice house
The house is very clean and was just as described. The noise from 98 really bothered me- but I’m a light sleeper. No one else in my family heard it. The neighborhood was nice. It was a great house for a quick visit to 30A.
