Best week!

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: This home was perfect for us. Our daughter and husband with their four month old daughter had the whole second floor. We took master on main floor. It sounds huge for just four and a newborn, but newborn things are big! We ate dinner three times on the top level balcony, which was wonderful! The family room furniture was so comfy and a perfect swivel chair for rocking our baby. The beds were comfy and showers are huge. What’s not to love! We all said we will be back! The front porch swing was used a lot as well. The garage was so handy for all the beach items, and stroller. The only suggestion would be maybe four towels in each bathroom instead of two. We had to keep washing towels. Otherwise...it was perfect!

Family vacation

Rating Details: The property manager was more than helpful. The vacation rental was clean. I was more than happy with the location. I was very dissatisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: The good: we loved the porches and the large walk in showers! Check-in was easy. Our kiddos loved the very large resort pool.The not so good: a big part of why we chose this place was the convenience of being able to take the tram but about 80% of the time the tram was impossible to contact. The tram service would also close during working hours without any notice or way of knowing that it was closed/unavailable (we learned this from beach security). We ended up carting all of our gear and young kids to/from the beach and pool the vast majority of the time. It would be okay if we had expected this but again, a large part of why we booked was convenience of getting a ride to the beach and pool with lap children in tow. This seemed to be one of the few units that didn’t have an outdoor shower or hose. The house had hand prints and dirt covering almost every wall so I would not consider it “well-maintained” and lastly, it was missing a lot of small conveniences that every other rental has had. I.e. there were no hand towel holders in several bathrooms to hang a hand towel and there were no extra blankets to be found anywhere.Overall, 3 star experience and I could not say that I would rent this place again with all of the options available in the area.

Large property with ample space and great upstairs deck. Bedroom and bathroom set-up worked great for our family. We liked that there was a grill and washer & dryer on the property. It would be nice if lawn chairs, umbrella and cooler would be available for people arriving by plane.

Seacrest Properties

This area has changed from two years ago. Seems to be turning into Seaside, maybe even Destin, type area. The umbrellas were five rows deep, which makes this feel like a public beach! When you pay to stay in between Alys Beach and Rosemary, you expect more exclusivity. Also, the pool in this area is a NIGHTMARE. We had towels on six chairs, went for lunch and came back to our chairs being taken by other people. Our towels had been hidden by the bathroom area. Other people were complaining about the same thing. Again, if you pay this kind of money you don't expect to be staying in an area with this type of rude and trashy behavior. Lastly, this area offers no close restaurants / tiki bars / food anywhere near the beach, so once you catch the tram and hike to the beach, don't expect to get food or drinks without taking a long walk to Rosemary or back to the Seacrest area.

The getaway that recharge the fun!!

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: It was a mom’s/ girls getaway trip! The place was beautiful up on entering. It was beautifully decorated and smelled lovely. There are 3 decks and we hung out on each enjoying each other and sunset. We got to enjoy a run in the mornings as right next the house is a pathway lead to 30A and to Alyss Beach. It was like having your own secret short cut. We were located short distance to the pool and very close to the tram. We met the best tram driver, ended up laughing and taking pictures. We got wonderful surprise when discovered the farmers market at Rosemary beach, a short 10 minute walk away. We were in heaven with jams, fruit, vegetables and other goodies. We grilled out on the grill out back using our goodies from the markets while making the perfect pina coladas and listened to music. Perfect last night. This rental had the best location. The beds were very comfortable. The top floor has a couch bed that was even comfortable. I really recommend this rental. This house has it all. It is beautiful and spacious as well as great location, great value and responsiveness of management. We decided we will be back!

Nice House

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was clean. I was more than happy with the location. I was satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Great house with plenty of room and the 3rd floor is a great place to unwind every night after a long day at the beach and the pool. The only negative was it needs to be cleaned a little better between each family's stay. Stains on the couch and on the walls. The floors were not well cleaned and had to ask them to come out and vacuum a 2nd time. But this is not a show stopper. Great house.

Good but Not Great

We stayed at Beach Bike Escape for one week in early June 2021. We have stayed in Seacrest many times in the past and thus are very familiar with the neighborhood, the homes and the Seacrest amenities. Beach Bike Escape was good but not great. The home was functional although it was showing its age. Some blinds were inoperable, walls and porches needed touch up paint, porch furniture was worn out, dryer was on its last leg, etc. All of that being said, the management company was very responsive to any request we had, beds were comfortable and the location was convenient. This particular home is towards the back of the Seacrest community so it did feel a bit far from the village, pool, etc. compared to other homes we have rented in the past but everything was still walkable or accessible via the tram. If I had one complaint about Seacrest it would be the unbelievable number of people at the beach. The adjacent properties cordon off areas for their guests leaving very little room for those staying in Seacrest. This makes for a very unpleasant beach experience. We found that packing up and driving to a public beach was far more enjoyable than using the deeded beach access made available for Seacrest residents. This does not have anything to do with the house, but is certainly something to consider if you’re making your first trip to 30A.

We decided to get away from the hospital world and take a step back to heal our heart and souls and it was so enjoyable. There was enough room for all 8 of us. We hired Shelly Thomas- a chef for brunch who was exceptional and toured the town. The beaches were clean and the people friendly. Would definitely stay here again and bring the family.

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Arrived early and they were gracious enough to let us in. House was as expected and pictured. The bedrooms are all great sizes and the bathrooms are spacious with amazing showers. The view from the top deck is so relaxing. I loved being in a cul-de-sac because we have a 5 year old that loves to ride her bike. Beds were very comfortable, plenty of extra pillows and linens. I would rent this home again!!

Very nice, property management should make some changes.

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: The house was great and just as we expected it to be. There was plenty of room for everyone. If I had one complaint, it would be that this was the only rental we've ever stayed at where all of the dishes had to be clean and the dishwasher had to be completely empty. That made our last morning there a very hectic one with ten people trying to eat, clean up, and be out by 10:00 a.m. Every other rental we've stayed at asks us to load the dishwasher and turn it on. I can't help but think that there are people that are in a hurry and just end up rinsing dishes off and putting them back up in the cupboard. Especially in Covid times, I think the property management should reassess this rule. You should also think about supplying small salt and pepper shakers. We didn't pick one up because we just assumed there would be one, like other rentals.

Wonderful Beach Vacation

Home was nicer than pictures. We had a family of 6 people (54 to 17 in age) and house was perfect size. Kitchen was well stocked with basics and grill outside worked great. Neighborhood of Seacrest is perfect for families. Great access to beaches and shops. Only issue was ice maker didn’t work. Great time overall.

Make sure to read reviews

While the house was very nice here is what you NEED TO KNOW before visiting: 1. You can hear everything throughout the house because there's no carpet so just know going in if you have small children or an early riser, everyone is up. 2. Do not leave anything outside. We had chairs and a towel stolen off the front porch, be sure to lock your bikes up. 3. THE BEACH. While the beach is pretty for that large community there is only a small section of the beach that is reserved for the community. You can't bike to it because the guard at the gate doesn't let bike through to get even close to the beach and by the time you get there all the "reserved" chairs are lined up. It was PACKED every day. I'm talking three rows of chairs. People were setting up in the dunes. We ended up biking/driving to a public beach every day just so that we could social distance. 4. If you want to eat out you HAVE to make advanced reservations. These places book up FAST. Looking to get pizza or carry-out? Be sure to call by like 4pm because by 6 they are maxed out on carry-out and you're out of luck. 5. We went during this whole pandemic. No one wore masks or social distanced, so know going in that if you are taking precautions, good luck because it seemed like no one down there cared. 6. THE POOL. Was also packed, and very hard to social distance in. Also, the snack bar was great, but it was only open a handful of times and they were always running out of things. I would not recommend going down there right now.

Beach Bike Escape was Great!

We had a lovely week at Beach Bike Escape. It was our first rental that was not directly on the beach and we were skeptical of the convenience factor, but we ended up with the perfect scenario. First, the house. Exactly what we expected as far as layout and rooms, clean and fully loaded! The tram stop was a few doors down and could take you to the beach or the pool. easy. The pool was awesome. Big with multiple play areas. The beach was easy to get to, but overcrowded. Our listing suggested bringing chairs, but there were rentals available if you don't want to bother. We ended up driving 5 minutes away to Inlet Beach. Lots of room, beautiful perfect beach! Just as easy as the tram. NOTE: if you stay July 4, just note that Rosemary Beach area looses power at the drop of a hat almost every year. This means your electronic entry options don't work. We left the keys to the car and walked to dinner and couldn't get in or get in a cool car for quite a while.

Beach Bike Stay

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We recently rented Beach Bike Escape for a week long extended family vacation and had a great time! The property was nice and clean upon arrival. The home is located on a quiet street, but not a far walk from the pool or town center. We had restaurants, coffee shops, souvenir stores, and live music all within a short walk. The beach access was easy to find and the tram makes it really convenient. The beach does get crowded in the afternoon, but that was expected. The pool was huge and even with a lot of other people there we still had room to hang out and not be on top of other families. The home itself was in great condition and any issue that came up throughout the week was quickly taken care of by management. We had a great time and we are looking forward to our next trip here!
