The property had great beach access. That was the only positive thing about this place. The furniture was dirty and stained. There were tiny ants everywhere. We had to call property manager to get ant bait to set out. No bedroom door on bottom floor bedroom. The bathroom on bottom floor also doesn’t shut all the way so everyone that walked by could see in the bathroom. The pictures are very misleading.

We really enjoyed our time at the beach which was just steps away and the ability to walk to several places for lunch and dinner.

Can’t get closer to the boardwalk to the beach, which wasn’t too crowded. Very nice to have a pool too for kids. Close to great restaurants.

Great Property

Our family of five had a great stay! The unit is a little dated, but it did not hinder our stay one bit. We have stayed at Sea Haunts every year and the location is fantastic! Love this area!

Very great beach house!

We really enjoyed our stay! The house was nicely updated and had mostly what we needed. It was also clean with the exception of sand on the porch. We would love to come back!

30 A stay

We have been staying at sea haunts properties for over 10 years, this was our first time renting this condo and we loved it. Plan to book another vacation later this year, hopeful the owner will allow us to bring our two elderly Yorkie, they will be crated when we are not with them and are very calm dogs. Thank you!

Great beach access, but…

This property has amazing beach access. The community was great and everyone was friendly. The condo left a bit to be desired. There was very limited furniture in the bedrooms. No dressers or chest of drawers to unload your clothes into. There were also no mirrors in the bedrooms. The guest bedroom upstairs had broken closet doors that did not work at all. The top floor sink plunger was completely detached and stopped the sink up. We had to manually unstop it. The temperature was not well controlled throughout the condo. Temps got up to 78° daily and we could not change it without a code. The kitchen was not well stocked, making cooking difficult. Thankfully we brought blankets with us because the beds only had a sheet and very lite comforter on them. There was a tv in the living room and master bedroom only. All in all the beach was wonderful and the community was amazing, but we would pick a different unit next time.

Nice enough, but not 1st choice

We just stayed in this property this past week. It was our first time in the Sea Haunts complex. Pros—The complex and location were nice. We were a bit surprised to be using a shared pool with the complex next door but it still worked out fine. The communication with the rental company was good and we actually got to check in early. The provided beach accessories (wagon, chairs, toys, etc) were nice to have for sure Cons—there are no mirrors in any of the rooms except over the sink mirrors in each bathroom. Our group goes out to dinner once or twice and does family pictures. It’s hard to get ready for anything when you have 7-9 people using the bathrooms and there are no mirrors in the bedrooms. It was very lacking in clothing/necessities storage outside of one Rubbermaid 3 drawer “dresser”. The toilet seats in each of the bathrooms were all loose. The AC was hard to control without having to call someone. It consistently got up to 78/79 each day we were there. Not sure if that’s just how it is in Florida or if it should have been easier to control. There was some sand still on the floor upon arrival but we normally sweep or vacuum every other day or so when we go bc none of us enjoy walking on sand everyday but there were no brooms or vacuums to do that with. The kitchen could be better stocked. We had to improvise a few times. There were no saucepans at all, only 2 large stock pans. The can opener didn’t work at all.

Not as accurate as presented

I will start by saying we were super excited to go to 30A for almost a week. Here are the pros and cons of this listing and brutal honesty. Pros - location is amazing, gated community, close to restaurants ice cream, parking, 2 min walk to sand, Cons - they list as a 3 bedroom, 3 bath house - it is actually 2 bedrooms and a loft area once you enter with a space they put a bunk bed. It does not have a door or closet; just a plastic 3 drawer dresser you get a Walmart to store clothes. Def not a bedroom with privacy. The bathrooms is one attached to that loft on first floor, a 1/2 bath on main living kitchen floor (doesn’t have a shower), and a very small main bathroom the two bedrooms share on top floor. Other cons - one roll of paper towels - most other stays at places give at least 2-3 starter pack. One trash bag for kitchen, yes one. For that size property, we have been given a few. Not one. Floor was super Sandy and did not seem like it was vacuumed or mopped I killed 3 cockroaches during our stay and have pics to prove it. One on all three levels. The beach equipment they provided is worn, some broken The pool is next door, and is actually part of a time share location. It appears these units have an agreement to use the pool and spa. Lots of families but it works after a long day at beach. In closing, 30A is amazing. This listing did not meet the pictures and info they provided. Just value honesty for price point, felt misled a bit.

Close to the beach but modest accomodations

We have stayed at many properties in this area over the last 15 years. We chose this property because of its proximity to the beach and paid a premium for the location. With the price we paid, we also expected nicer amenities in the unit itself. The unit if part of an older complex and the age shows in the condo. While it has been updated in parts, the finishes are cheap. For example, there was loose flooring on the steps, towel racks falling off the wall, loose door jambs, poor draining tub, poor heating and plastic drawers (the sterilite kind) for your clothes. We stayed over Thanksgiving and the lows were in the 40's so the bedroom on the first floor next to the garage where my kids slept didn't heat. That bedroom is really an open loft space because you walk through the bedroom to exit/enter the house and to exit/enter the garage. The kitchen is poorly equipped. Since we were there over Thanksgiving, we attempted to cook a nice meal for the family, but the kitchen didn't have simple tools like a cheese grater, mixing bowls, large serving bowls, muffin/loaf pans. The description of the property included a pool and hot tub. However, the pool and hot tub are attached to a different property with a locked gate. I am not sure if we are allowed to use them because the property manager didn't provide a code for the gate. We did appreciate having the cruiser bikes and beach chairs/umbrellas provided. A 2 minute walk on the boardwalk to the beach was very convenient.

Quiet getaway

This condo is in a really nice quiet gated area. The beach chairs, beach toys, and bikes in the garage were a huge bonus for our family. The walk is short to the beach and was easy for us to go back and forth to get snacks, use restroom, etc. The condo is updated and had all the kitchen items we needed. The bunk bed room on the first level does not have a door to shut off that room for privacy but our kids didn't mind. It was a great space. My only recommendation is this unit might consider supplying a broom and dust pan. We tracked in a lot of sand over the week but had no way to sweep it up. We would come back here again!

Great location to beach and 30A, like new interior

Location was excellent, steps away from the walkway to (as close to) private beach!! Bonus for providing chairs and umbrella! Interior was clean, spacious and updated. Only suggestion for accuracy is to update listing to 2bdrm, 2 1/2 bath with bonus room. For the 4 of us it wasn't a big deal, but any more people would have made it disappointing.

Clean, quiet, convenient, well decorated

Had everything we needed and plenty of fun extras. Super convenient to beach, pool, dining, and shops. Easy and plentiful parking in unit’s garage and by unit’s door. Cute gazebo in common area. Great balconies, beautiful uncrowded beach and pool. Fast and helpful responses from staff to our few questions. Would stay here again for sure!
