Seacrest Serenity

Beautiful beach house!
Seacrest Serenity is a beautiful 5 bedroom home just a half mile from the beach. It is beautifully decorated, has plenty of room for a large family, has its own pool within the fenced backyard, and has all of the amenities for a great time at the beach. The kitchen is fully equipped with everything needed to cook, but is also a short drive to lots of great restaurants. A golf cart and bicycles are available for the short ride to the beach but it is also an easy walk with beach access right across 30a from the end of the street. I would highly recommend Seacrest Serenity to anyone wanting to visit the 30a area.

Great Week at the Beach
We are annual beach house renters, but this was our first experience with renting a beach house on 30A. We had some hiccups with the management company in the beginning and I felt like communication could’ve been stronger, but I think many of the issues we had were because this house (Seacrest Serenity) is new to renting and there are just some kinks to be worked out. Overall, I feel like the management company (who is also the homeowner) was responsive to my concerns before our stay and attentive to our needs during our stay. The home itself is beautiful and immaculately maintained and very clean upon our arrival. A member of the 30A Escapes team met us at the house shortly after our arrival to make sure we were getting acclimated okay. When we reported a couple of issues during our stay, maintenance responded very quickly. Our main issue during our stay was that the golf cart battery could not be charged without tripping the breaker constantly. No matter what outlet we plugged the golf cart into, the breaker would trip. There are no GFCI outlets in the home that we could find. The home is in a great location just off 30A. The neighborhood is small and quiet and felt like a nice retreat from the busyness of Seaside and Rosemary. Both Seaside and Rosemary are a short drive from the house by car. Seaside is way too far for a golf cart drive and Rosemary doesn’t allow golf carts so a car is the perfect way to reach both towns quickly. The Seacrest Drive beach access is just at the end of the road, but we didn’t use that beach access because you aren’t able to rent beach set up service there as it’s a private beach. We couldn’t rent beach set up service at Seacrest Condos beach access either, because only condo renters can rent beach set up service there. We were able to rent beach set up service through Vacayzen at the Gulf Lakes beach access point, which is about .9 miles from the home. It is easily accessible via golf cart. My husband dropped off all of us and our beach gear at the entrance to the Gulf Lakes beach access point then drove the golf cart back to the house and rode a bike back to the beach. There is bike parking at the beach access point but not golf cart parking – just FYI. If you don’t want or need to rent beach set up service, you can bring your own gear to the Seacrest Drive beach access point at the end of the road just fine. The stairs are quite steep over the dunes in both locations though. Be prepared for that. The home does provide beach chairs but not a beach umbrella so take that into consideration when deciding which beach access point to use. The kitchen is well-stocked with lots of space for food storage. Having both a coffee maker and a Keurig was nice. We left our salt, pepper, sugar, and coffee filters for the next renters because none of those are provided with the home. However, we had ample paper towels and toilet paper provided with the home for our arrival and each bathroom had small travel size shampoos, conditioners, soaps, and lotions. The primary bedroom closet has a few hangers and lots of shelving and drawers for clothing storage. We had so much room for our things. The house is spaced out enough that we felt comfortable as a party of 7. Everyone had more than enough room and we never felt on top of each other. The beds were so comfortable, and we appreciated having two soft pillows and two firm pillows in each bed. It’s nice to have options for each guest. Our first stay on 30A was a dream and none of us wanted to leave. We already want to re-book the house for next summer. We can’t wait to be back.

Great Week at the beach
This house is amazing and was perfect for our family beach trip. The golf cart really came in handy and seems brand new. The bikes were also a great addition, we ended up using them almost every day. The pictures do not do this property any justice, its huge and has lots of upgrades...master shower is incredible...pool was perfect.

A week in heaven

We just spent 7 glorious days with our family of 10 at 'Seacrest Serenity'. It was the perfect place for our 50th Anniversary. The home was luxurious and roomy but very family friendly.. 30A Escapes took such good care of us. We can’t wait to go back!
