Loved this house! It is laid out so nicely so that my family of 4 was able to enjoy lots of time hanging out without feeling like we were on top of each other. The two balconies were perfect for lounging about reading. We were steps away from the beach and an easy walk away from Alys and Rosemary.Everything was in great shape. All appliances worked perfectly and I the washer and dryer seemed practically new. Lastly, we were worried about the garage sizes but had nothing to worry about as I easily fit a Hyundai Santa Fe into the garage without any issues.Overall, we absolutely loved this house and can't wait to go back!
5th year in a row vacationing in 30A for Fall Break. This was the best location we have had. So convenient to be able to walk back and forth to beach in a matter of minutes. House was great. Liked having the garage to park SUV in and access to beach chairs and cooler. Accomodations were very nice as well.
This home was great for our family of 4. We could walk everywhere we wanted to go in Rosemary and Alys. And it was steps from the beach. This is the perfect location for kids who want to be at the beach nonstop. We were short a few supplies upon arrival but the property manager was wonderful and helped us resolve it quickly.
The property is beautiful and very close to the beach with a wonderful pool. The house is very centrally located. My only complaint is how crowded the âprivateâ beach is. We did not realize all 300+ homes and a large condo complex also shared a beach with us. Packed like sardines.
Of course we had a great time because itâs the beach but we will not be back to Seacrest because the âprivateâ beach is ridiculously crowded
We reserved chairs through Dolce La Vita and I HIGHLY recommend you do the same so you can at least have a reserved spot. Get hem 4 months early to get 1 or 2 row. Anything after that is not worth it.
Have stayed in this neighborhood in the past few years and the access to the beach is fantastic - first time staying at this condo for 9 days in late Feb/early Mar.
This place is very tired looking. The units are not new and this one is badly in need of updates. Doors are falling apart. Blinds and outdoor cushions need to be replaced. The porch railings were replaced but never painted.
We were disappointed in the response to problems such as the fire alarm going off in the middle of the first night. The listing and photos did not depict the condition that this unit was in.
Just be advised there are other very lovely units - do not overpay for this one!
We had a great stay over February break. Janice was a great communicator and it was easy to check in. The house was exactly as described and fit 5 of us comfortably. It is also well stocked. The weather was not warm but we still sat on the beach, rode bikes, walked everywhere, and took advantage of the shopping and restaurants nearby. We love this neighborhood because it is gated with direct, private beach access. We also had some amazing sunsets! We would definitely stay again.
This is a lovely home with everything you need to have a fabulous vacation at the beach! Communication with the owner was so easy and responses came quickly! We had no issues but it was nice to know that Janice was just a quick call or text away! Highly recommend this lovely home! We will be back!
Sandcastle at the Villas at Sunset Beach was fantastic! Well equipped with all the sundries, chairs, umbrellas, etc., that you need for the beach and plenty of beach towels as well. The house was very clean and the cupboards were well stocked. The location is just few short steps to the beach and walking distance to plenty of shopping and restaurants. Janice, the Owner, was very receptive to all our needs when we had any questions. We will definitely be back!
The property was as describedâclose to beach, decent pool, great parking, etc. It was clean-ish, mostly just older and in need of update/refresh. We were thankful to find a beachside property w/in days of our arrivalâand Janice was easy to communicate with & very responsive. All that is fine, but renters should know about the beach situation. The entire beach in front of the property is sandwiched between other private beaches so basically all of Seacrest visits this small section of beach-and while that is what it is, the area is dominated by chair rental companies. So, what does that mean? While the property owners were generous to leave chairs and umbrellas, I would have to get out there at 7:30am (not a huge deal) to earmark a spot for my umbrella and chair. When I went back, Iâd have every Tom, Dick, and Harry right up next to me-within 2-3 feet-playing their music & letting their heathens run around. Itâs not their fault so much as the way the beach area is managed. I discovered there were many rules-no tents (not a big deal for me, but it was sad to see them tell folks with large families to take them down), if you brought your own gear, you had about 50ft to use and compete with all of Seacrestâto be clear, they golfcarted folks in from the otherside of 30A, & beach chair rentals were more than competitors at ~$90 per day with no weekly discounts. In a pinch, Iâd stay againâbut instead would plan ahead and stay elsewhere. For the $, Rosemary has more space/amenities.
Our family vacation included 3 adult children ages 23, 21 & 19. We loved the location! The beach was extremely crowded, but we made it work. Our walks to dinner & shopping in Rosemary Beach were perfect. We only drove to dinner 2x the entire week. Once to Florida Fish house which was just minutes away and once to Georgeâs in Alys Beach because we were dressed up and didnât want to walk. The convenience of the property will have us returning! Thank you so much for sharing your property with us.
Love this location. Close to beach, Rosemary and restaurants. We will probably not stay here again because there were a few things that didn't work well for our family. The description was clear about the size of the garages - I underestimated how much trouble this would be. Getting to bikes and beach items require moving the vehicle every time. The gate into front courtyard had wide slats that our dogs could walk through. We were able to put a baby gate up in front of it. I neglected to pay attention that both restrooms required going through a bedroom to get to. My daughter had to walk through our room every time to use the restroom. The window shades on two doors are torn up and should be removed or replaced. VERY high praise for their maintenence man. The gate was falling off when we got there. He came within a couple of hours to repair. When I mentioned the shower didn't drain well he insisted on coming in and fixing it. The details were all in the description.
We LOVED this property! The price was fantastic for the location. We were close enough to ride bikes to dinner or walk up for coffee. The beach is just a couple minute walk and easy to get back after a long day on the beach. Much better than having to wait on and catch the shuttle. We will definitely book here again!
Great house, right in the middle of everything. 2 min walk to beach (it was crowded but nice). Go ahead and rent beach chairs online to be comfortable during peak season. House came stocked with everything we needed and we walked to many restaurants and shops.
