The owners (Kerry & DeAnn, Steve & Paula) of unit 302 on the 3rd. floor in the Seacrest condominium at 1117 W.Beach Blvd. would like to welcome you to OUR favorite vacation destination. We want you to walk in the door and say Ahhh. You deserve to relax in comfort and feel like your vacation condo is truly your home away from home.

We take great care and furnish it with high quality linens, furniture and supplies. The condo has just been freshly painted and re-decorated. we have replaced the old couch and recliner with a new couch and recliner. The bathroom is updated with new fixtures, lighting and comfort height toilet. Our Queen bed has a high-end mattress with pillow top and memory foam . (The memory foam may be removed for a firmer option ) Enjoy your morning coffee from the Keurig or Mr. Coffee on the patio in the bar height table and chairs.

Our unit is across from the emergency exit and only two floors up.
We hope you consider our favorite vacation location when you are choosing your next vacation. We are located just 1.5 miles down the beautiful west beach-so close to attractions and dining, yet on the quieter side of the island. We are on a two lane beach road with walking lanes for jogging and biking. The Beach House restaurant, Waves grocery, S&S seafood and an ice-cream shop are only a block away.

Very nice place to stay with my small family. The actual condo itself is nice as well. The only issue I had was there’s not a ton of parking but the owners can’t help that. Will definitely stay again!
