Seacrest Beach Home with Relaxing Screened Porch

“Coastal Brakes”, is nestled in the charming Seacrest Beach neighborhood which graces the idyllic Scenic 30A between Rosemary and Alys Beaches. This single-story cottage promises to be your go-to beach retreat, offering ample space for the whole family to unwind within its seamless open layout.

“Coastal Brakes”, is nestled in the charming Seacrest Beach neighborhood which graces the idyllic Scenic Highway 30A between Rosemary and Alys Beaches. This single-story cottage promises to be your go-to beach retreat, offering ample space for the whole family to unwind within its seamless open layout, encompassing 4 nicely sized bedrooms and 3 full baths.

The well-appointed kitchen is equipped with stainless steel appliances, granite countertops and bar seating for four. Whether you're cooking for a crowd or a cozy dinner, you'll find everything you need, including a selection of common spices conveniently located on the kitchen counter. The inviting open-plan living area provides abundant seating for gatherings, where tales of beach adventures can be shared. Sink into plush sofas and oversized chairs while enjoying entertainment on the large, flat-screen smart TV. Step out from the main living area onto the expansive screened porch, a rare gem within this vibrant community, perfect for alfresco dining or savoring a cup of coffee as you prepare for the day ahead.

The luxurious master suite, tucked away off the living area, features a king-size bed and a spa-like ensuite bathroom with double vanities, walk-in closet and a rejuvenating walk-in shower. French doors lead to the screened porch for added tranquility. The queen guest bedroom grants access to a full bathroom just steps away and to the rear porch, while down the hallway you'll find two more bedrooms — one with a king bed and the other with a queen bed plus a twin daybed with a twin trundle underneath. Both of these rooms share a well-appointed hall bathroom with double vanities. Each bedroom features a flat-screen television, and the house is equipped with complimentary wifi and central heating, ventilation and air conditioning (HVAC). Additionally, guests have access to four adult cruiser bikes, four backpack beach chairs and an assortment of beach toys.

When you're not soaking up the sun on the nearby beach or at the Seacrest Beach 12,000 square foot resort pool, delight in leisurely strolls through the boutique shops and dining spots at Peddlers Pavilion, Rosemary Beach, Alys Beach and Inlet Beach. Or create your own adventure…paddleboard across a rare dune lake, bike one of the nearby winding trails or have a picnic in one of the Travel and Leisure top rated state parks. 30A is also ideal for lovers of golf, saltwater fishing, sailing, and kiteboarding! What are you waiting for? The sugar-white sand beaches are calling your name!

Sibling Gathering

My brother, sisters and I met all together for the first time in over 10 years. The house was perfect for us. Lots of space, great kitchen, no bunk beds, awesome location and a perfect screened in front porch. Everyone agreed that we could not have found a better place than this lovely home.

Awesome family property

Very prompt communication with owner. Only issue was with internet and a technician came out and worked on it. Service still was off and on. Awesome screened front porch with fans so staying outside was very comfortable. Well stocked kitchen with utensils, pots, pans, spices, etc. Very helpful. Even a crockpot! Very large family gathering room so wonderful for a large group. TVs in all rooms. Excellent choice and close to pool and the “circle” of shops. Property has 4 good bikes.

Our third time to Seacrest Beach. This is a nice, well equipped one story house. It is a short walk to the pool and a tram stop is only one house away. We enjoyed our time there!

August 2020 Stay

Everything was great. Love Coastal Brakes. Nice decor and comfy beds. We took advantage of lots of activities even with the pandemic. Beach, pool, Tennis, bikeriding,shopping with a mask, charter fishing trip. Maybe next time we'll be able to try the restaurants. Oversee has great service and was accomodating.

Fabulous Place

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: The house was perfect! Great layout for 2 families, beautifully decorated, and great location to the pool and tram stop. My favorite part was the big screened in porch. Not many like they one. My only complaint is the reserved beach area that is for the community is way too small. We had to drive or ride our bikes over to the public beach. Less crowded there. Would definitely come back!

Great Vacation; Great Location

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Nice relaxing vacation. The house was perfect for what we were looking for with 6 people and had plenty of space. More than enough kitchen items to cook, etc. Loved the outdoor screened porch; nice for coffee in the morning and having lunch on the table outside. Great location close to the pool, on the beach shuttle route and 7 minute walk to the beach. A few minute walk/bike ride to a few restaurants and ice cream. We had 2 issues during the stay: the door code stopped working and could not get into the house and it was raining. Oversee had someone out with a key in 45 minutes. The outside grill ignitor did not work but Oversee replaced the entire grill with a new one within a day. Great response. The area in general has few restaurants per capita of people, so go early or late to avoid long waits. Donut Hole and Big Bad Breakfast were great for breakfast. We cooked in a few times which was nice. The 3/4 bikes provided were nice and convenient, we rented 3 more bikes from Peddlers 30A; they delivered and picked up.

A Perfect Family Vacation

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We just returned from a fabulous week at Coastal Brakes. Our family of 6 (2 teens and 4 adults) had plenty of space to spread out. We also enjoyed the common areas, especially the screened in porch. The close proximity to the pool was a huge plus! We took lots of walks to neighboring Rosemary Beach and Alys Beach. We would definitely stay here again! We had two small issues during our stay. One was with the AC which kept tripping. Oversee was quick to send a technician (even at 9pm). The second issue was that the bikes were not in great shape. I contacted the bike rental company and they were replaced almost immediately! I was very impressed with Oversee’s communication and process and would highly recommend using them in the future!

Rosemary Beach Tennis Trip

We had a wonderful stay at Coastal Brakes for our annual girl's tennis trip at the beach. We were 6 ladies and the house was perfect! We had plenty of towels, space to spread out, beds were extremely comfortable, and we loved that it was one level - no stairs to climb! It rained a good bit of the time we stayed so we had plenty of time to use the screened porch. It was a perfect spot to relax and enjoy coffee, wine, games, and friendly chatter with friends! We'll definitely stay again!

A very good stay

We stayed at Coastal Brakes for a week and it was a wonderful stay. The beach was not very close to walk for our grandma at the heat of August so we used tram system to the beach and back. The beach was crowded and we didn’t get first row umbrella with chairs during our stay even at 8am in the morning we were offered third row only. But that was ok. The swimming pool is close to the house, it was surprisingly cold in August. We have been to Rosemary for the spring break and the water was cold in this pool. Same in August. Maybe because of the rains. It was raining a lot and the gulf was rough with algae for the whole week of our stay. We loved the layout of the house, it’s all one level, renovated, nice, beautiful house with everything you need. One thing I thought would be helpful, there was no brushing pan for the floor no where to be found to clean some sand at floor under the decorative table at the entrance. And there was no comforters for beds, it was cold to sleep at night. Thank you, - Svetlana Alpharetta GA
