The house was perfect for our group of two families of four: two master bedrooms for the parents, a Jack-n-Jill for two siblings, and an upstairs retreat with a bunk bed and full bath for the other two siblings. The location on the pool was ideal, and that resort style pool has kept us coming back to Seacrest for eight years running. The back patio was a little tight for all eight of us, but we made it work. Overall, we loved the house so much that we already rebooked! Out of all of our trips to Seacrest Beach, this is our first time rebooking the same house. The biggest downside of Seacrest Beach is the crowded beach (at least in July), and it seems to get a little worse each year. This year the private umbrella/chair company “owned” about 80% of the beach (for chairs that went largely unused) leaving only a small area for the rest of Seacrest goers who don’t want to pay exorbitant chair rental rates. We managed to squeeze in tight each day at the beach, usually squeezing in between chairs that were planted at sunrise to stake territory only to then sit empty for hours on end. The HOA’s agreement allowing the private rental company to occupy the majority of the beach is extremely frustrating for renters. We’re giving it one more chance, but if the beach crowd situation is worse next year, we’ll be looking for somewhere else to stay along 30A for future trips. In short, the house itself is fantastic, the pool never disappoints and keeps us coming back, and the property manager is excellent! But the crowded beach in July and the HOA’s agreement with the chair rental company gets more disappointing each year.
