Family Vacation

We had a very nice vacation. We were 60 steps from the pool and a 5 min walk to the beach. The house was very nice and roomy for 6 adults and 6 children including a 5 month old. Very close to the square where ice cream, pizza, crepes and star bucks were available.

Winter Stay

We visited Sandy Craic in February 2024. The property was great, it was clean, spacious, had everything we needed and in a great location. Lisa was very helpful when one of the appliances stopped working. She even gave us valuable advice as we were looking at a few properties to purchase in the neighborhood. We'd highly recommend Sandy Craic or any of Lisa's properties!

Great place in an ideal location within Seacrest beach!

This was in an ideal location in Seacrest Beach. Lots of bikes and close to cute shops and entertainment each night. Short bike to Rosemary and Alys beaches. House was right across from pool and short walk or tram ride to the beach. Such a well stocked house and kitchen! Great kids room with Tv and bunks sleeping 6. We will definitely be back to the Sandy Craic!

Busy week- lots of amenities

The house was amazing and had literally everything we needed except extra TP. The beach was PACKED, this was the biggest bummer of the trip. There is only about 100 yards of beach space and since we were there on our fall break trip so we’re hundreds of other families. The kids didn’t have much breathing room for beach activities. The pool was on and off busy, but since the pool is soo huge it is easy to find some space to play and lay on chairs. However this pool is huge and was chilly for adults and even the kiddos so it somewhat hampered the amount of time we stayed at the pool. We love this area but would definitely pick a different time of year to visit.

Family vacation 2022

The location of this property is perfect! It’s very close to the pool, but also an easy walk to the beach or tram ride. The house was perfect for our family, especially young kids! There were plenty of beach chairs and sand toys for everyone. Location was also very close to some of the shops and live music at nice which was very nice. Unfortunately we ran into an issue with the electric but the owner was readily available to answer us and get it fixed which we appreciated! When you have young kids and go on vacation it’s really all about them, and when it was time to go they did not want to leave and since have asked to go back to “the red house”. Would definitely recommend booking this property and hopefully will book again in the future!

Best 30A has to offer!!

We had 5 teenage boys and 4 moms to celebrate the beginning of summer and the house could not have suited our needs better!! The bunk room on the second floor was perfect Slept the 5 boys comfortably and plenty of room. The house is decorated nicely, kitchen well stocked, beach towels and beach chairs provided!! And the location of the house is amazing. Right in the front of Seacrest, 5 min walk to beach and 10 second walk to the pool. We never even took a tram to the beach because it was so close. Enjoyed the outdoor spaces the house offered and just had a relaxing get away. We enjoyed biking or walking to the Village area for eating and shopping and Rosemary just a few blocks beyond that. We are planning a family trip next year and when I finalize dates I'm hoping this house will be available!! Our boys wanted newer bikes to ride around so we did end up renting them, rather than using the ones provided.

Great Experience

The house was great, an abundance of towels, both for hte house and beach, chairs, beach toys and primo location for the pool. The check in process was so easy and it was nice for the house to be ready when we got there a little early. Would stay here again and again if headed to Seacrest! The only downfall (and it worked out fine) is when i got the confirmation and check in stuff it kept mentioning bikes are locked up and feel free to use them. The policy to provide bikes had changed and we were fine to go rent them, so this slight hiccup was the only thing

Fantastic time for our family. This beach house was clean had a great kitchen and dining areas worked for our family. Sleeping and living areas allowed people to feel like they were home. The Town square of Rosemary was in walking distance and the stores and restaurants were unique. The beach was beautiful. As the title states: Rosemary Beach did not disappoint.

Why they chose this property

We choose Seacrest Beach because of the quality of the development, the huge lagoon pool, the tram service, the entertainment and the selection of restaurants and shopping close by. The location and spaciousness of the house was an added bonus!

What makes this property unique

The house is so convenient to the pool, just to be able to walk across the street is ideal. Not to mention the white sandy beach, which is only a few minutes stroll away.
