Many of the communities along 30A are continuing to expand, so many more individuals can come enjoy the crystal blue waters of the Panhandle. Unfortunately, a side effect of this is construction and all the items that come along with it, such as noise, road blocks, etc. We understand this can be inconvenient for our guests, which is why we have chosen to make all possible guests aware of the possibility of this during their beach vacation. As most of this is outside of 30A Cottages realm of control, we are not able to offer discounts/compensation for any noise complaints, road blockades, etc. during a guest's stay. Please reach out to a team member with any questions you may have!

Community Amenities

Within a short walk or bike ride you can enjoy the top-rated restaurants, shops, and activities in the Village of Seacrest, Alys Beach, Rosemary Beach, and Inlet Beach. The two most remarkable things about the Seacrest community are the complimentary Beach Tram service and access to the largest pool on 30A. The tram, which runs March through October, will have you on one of the world's most beautiful beaches in no time. It also runs through the community, among the shops, and to the 12,000-square-foot community pool, which features multiple layers, waterfalls, fountains, two bath houses and ample lounge chairs to relax in.

Great Stay

This house was perfect for our size group (5 families) and what we needed. The pool was awesome, the beach was a tram away and there were no issues getting to/from the beach. The property manager was communicative and easy to reach during our stay.

Improvements needed

The house is big and accommodating for our group of 14. We did not feel crowded. Community was very welcoming and everyone of all ages felt safe and enjoyed themselves. Main floor bedroom bathroom rainfall shower head cap came off when guest showered and turned on the rainfall shower. 2nd floor bedroom with the kids trundle bed balcony door would not lock and the door chain was broke. The other bedroom on the 2nd floor window had cobwebs and a dead spider in the window when we raised the blinds. Called maintenance and housekeeping at least 4 times. Never got anyone but left voicemail with my callback number and described the issue, no one ever called me back. I finally got a hold of someone on the 5th call and they were going to send maintenance, but they never showed up during our stay. Exterminator would not be able to come for another week (after our stay). We were very disappointed and unsatisfied with the care we got.

Family of 17

Overall, the house was very accommodating for a big group and kid friendly. Checkin was smooth, and the house was nice and clean. The location was great and convenient for the tram pick up. Our only minor complaint was the overflow of garbage in the outside cans from the previous week that was not picked up until Tuesday. Our family had a very enjoyable stay and would definitely recommend the house and community area to others.

We had our entire family of 6 plus several teenage friends. The property was excellent, plenty of room, and the amenities were great for a larger group, you could dine in without feeling your were on top of people and separate yourselves to different areas of the house. the neighborhood has a lot of facilities and even the tram service to the beach was a nice surprise.

Great house/maintenance issues

House is big - great layout for the 14 of us. Tram is great for getting to the beach. Several cleaning/maintenance issues. There was a previous review about light bulbs out, which were still out when we arrived. Bathrooms not very clean. Trash piles up quickly, they pick it up 2 times/week. House is showing some age - needs paint, mold in showers, mold in washing machines.

The house was great other than a few minor issues with the televisions in the game room and on the third floor and the air conditioning in the bedrooms on the 3rd floor and the room on the second floor not getting really cold so it was a little hard to sleep at night.

Happy Days at the Beach

My 16 year old granddaughter got there before me and said it was amazing. She was right. Lots of open space and 3 floors of bedrooms and 2 additional rooms for the kids with a TV. Lots of porches where people could sit outside and read or have meals. It was a short walk or bike ride to the gorgeous pool or to the beach. We especially liked the community stores and eating places. A Tram was available to take you where you wanted to go. We would definitely like to go there again.

Vacation 2024

House layout was perfect for our group. Loved the area and the Tram was always timely. Pool and Ocean are awesome, and we really enjoyed the week. However, the home is kind of run down and lacked some key items such as cooking equipment in the kitchen, no grilling utensils, grill was dirty and old. Lots of lightbulbs are burnt out in several rooms and on the outside of the home. Overall, home could have been cleaner. We are not really complainers and find a way to get around issues like these but for the cost I expected more.

Great stay. Understand this is property is under new ownership/management and is undergoing some changes, that were not major issues for us, and expect they will be addressed shortly. Icemaker stopped working, Cable TV only worked in main living room (cable co called to come fix but could not come until after our lease ended). Friendly support staff was responsive and helpful

Great house could be cleaner

The house and location was great. The layout served us well. The cleanliness and maintenance was lacking. When we arrived we took our shoes off at the door. Within 5 minutes everyone’s feet were black. It was like it had never been cleaned. MULTIPLE lightbulbs were out which is an easy maintenance fix but obviously overlooked for some time. The downstairs master toilet room was one that was out and you could not close the door and use the toilet cause it was pitch black. I sent a message to host and they said they would try to have somebody out but no one ever came. Overall great experience just a few things that could have easily been done to make it an exceptional experience!

Good accommodations, could be cleaner

The location, and house were very good. We went there to vacation not to clean. The appliances were dirty, mold in the shower and hair balls on the bathroom floor. We did call house keeping and they came back and cleaned. It should be clean the first time. I never write poor reviews. I don’t feel it’s right to pay a lot of money and come into a place that hasn’t been cleaned properly. We pay a lot to have it clean. The space in the house was nice and the bed were comfortable.

Beautiful home and community

Our three generational family of 12 enjoyed our stay at “Footprints in the Sand”. The community pool was wonderful as well as the beach. If you go mid to late afternoon, you can usually find lounges at the pool and a spot near the water at the beach using our own chairs. Having the large table in the open dining area accommodated all of us for meals and playing card games. The house was very comfortable for all of us, especially the beds. TV and WiFi worked great. Plenty of towels were supplied, but bring your own beach towels and chairs if you’re not planning to rent them at the beach. Extra soap and toilet paper was needed, but the supermarkets are only 3-4 miles away. We thought check-in time 6:00-6:30 was rather late, since most of our party arrived at Seacrest Beach by mid afternoon.

Property Maintenance

Your facility is quite nice; however, we experienced several maintenance issues: • Sink doesn’t drain in upstairs nursey bedroom • Screen on first floor patio missing in the door • Anchor door rod missing on patio door; not locking really • TV process confusing; too many remotes. Process in book works for live TV but not for streaming • Dryer rack had to be rigged • Dryer upstairs not working • Hot water in sinks takes very long time to heat up; huge waste of water • Third floor deck door does not work • Third floor TV not working • Batteries missing in some remotes all over the house. • No blind on window in nursery bedroom • No place mats for the table

Footprints in the Sand

The house was roomy for a large family and we loved the tram stop right outside. The carriage house had lots of problems with fuses blowing and the door lock. I would recommend a keurig in addition to the coffee pot. Also a Schlage lock instead of two keys. Also balcony doors need a rod to lock one of the double doors - very unsafe for kids when it would just open too easily. Also could not find compactor bags so recommend a trash can in the kitchen to hold 13 gallon bags. Loved convenience to pool and shops and all the king beds. Also instructions on three way locks on doors - never stayed anywhere with these. Thank you for a great week

Great location and house1

We are giving this a 5 star review because we would certainly return. There are some areas for improvement that would make the stay more comfortable but weren't the end of the world. PROS: The location is great and the house is super spacious. The main area of kitchen/living room and downstairs patio were great for large groups. There were plenty of bathrooms and two laundry rooms was super helpful. The location is perfect for beach and pool walks/rides on the tram. We had four families including 8 adults and 4 teens 14+. We could have had another couple with the space. The multiple en-suites make it ideal for multiple families. CONS: -not enough glassware- investing in a few sets of glasses/wine glasses would be an easy way to increase the experience. -no hooks on any doors for towels/clothes, etc. and not enough hagers in any of the rooms (super simple fix with a small investment). -washer and dryer upstairs are not very efficient and drying often took multiple runs. -not enough chairs on any of the decks. with a house this size, seating for 10-15 should be available in all gathering areas. (the upstairs porch only has two chairs for a very large area and the main porch downstairs only seats 6.) -not enough hand towels or washcloths in any of the bathrooms. Another easy fix. -wifi was down the entire trip so no cell service or internet. Multiple calls led to no fix. -security in the community is terrible and the 8pm curfew was a bit much for teenagers.
