Coastal Cabana B102–Seacrest Retreat–Sleeps 10

We had a great trip. Location was perfect. Will look to stay in this condo again.

We usually stay in watersound, for the quiet and privacy, but found this on a short notice and shorter stay. Def busier and louder but to be expected. Very clean, open, spacious property. Pool directly outside back patio. Beach, 100 yards across the street. Can’t beat for those two aspects. Right next to Rosemary, Alys and not far from Seaside, all our 3 favorite places. Beach a little crowded but to be expected. Super convenient to so many things. Ice machine seemed blocked in refrigerator, fryer has no lint vent. Outside of that everything in working order and more than sufficient. Would def look at booking again.

Pros: Location (back door opens to the community pool and it’s a quick 5 minute walk to private beach access) Condo has been updated and was clean. We were nervous about carpet in bedrooms but all carpet has been replaced with solid flooring. Pictures did not do it justice. Plenty of space for our party of 5 to have privacy. Well equipped with dishes, glassware, cookware and beach equipment. Walking distance to great restaurants, shopping & Rosemary and Alys Beach. Cons: Be sure to bring extra supplies such as paper towels, toilet paper and large trash bags. The kitchen trash bin is industrial sized and other than the liner that was in it when we arrived, there were no additional liners available. I had brought extra bags but they were not the appropriate size for this bin we needed to use on the daily. A box of these liners cost $15 at Publix. Would have been nice of housekeeping to leave extras since it’s not a typical size trash bin. Major negative: other than the automated check in list with property code and check out list that was sent before checking in there was no way to communicate with the property manager once we arrived. I sent several emails (their preferred method of communication as stated in the welcome letter), texts and made phone calls about a couple issues and received zero replies. Good thing we didn’t have an emergency with A/C or plumbing. We will stick w/properties managed by the owner in the future.

It was great! Easy walk to beach and EVERYTHING else we needed. Loved being on ground level. Loved walking out patio to pool. Loved letting teens navigate the area on foot. Kitchen is well equipped. Had all the “starter” stuff (which was enough to get us thru a long weekend). Beds were comfortable. Everything worked. Plenty of space for the 7 of us.
