    We enjoyed the room and the pool! The only negative was there were no extra sheets for the pullout couch so we were unable to use it for our son. We also were only given one large bath towel, the other two were small. Other than that it was a good place to stay. Great location and we were lucky to have privacy!

    Room was very clean. The only reason I didn’t give a 5 star is that the pool didn’t look clean. I’m not sure how often it is maintained as there is no staff on-site.

    For the price, the Seacrest can’t be beat. Big, spacious bedroom with comfortable King bed, nice living/mini kitchen area an updated bathroom. Great location as well, just a block from the beach. The beach chairs need replacing as well as the pool lounges, and the pool itself was like a hot tub! Overall, a great place to stay!

    The Hotel Seacrest was a nice cozy place to be if you want to have a beach getaway. Even though you did not have the ability of opening your back door and viewing the beach but the walking distance to the beach it was as if the beach was in your backyard. You were in the middle of everything from the Dollar store,Walmart,Publix even Ace hardware. Everything was conveniently located around you. And the area was so quiet and neighbors so friendly. I would stay here again when I return.

    We were very satisfied with our stay at Hotel Seacrest. It was disappointing that the pool was closed but besides that, everything met or exceeded expectations. They even accommodated a last minute request for a late checkout when our flight was delayed. I am looking forward to staying at HC again soon!

    This spot had so many positive reviews and I was really looking forward to spending my vacation here. While I was able to make it work for a short stay, I would not recommend longer than a weekend. The hotel has so much charm and character, but it is obvious that the current owners aren't investing anything into it anymore. The pool is "closed for maintenance" with signs everywhere but looks perfectly fine. Each room has a kitchenette and has strick rules about what you are allowed to cook inside the unit. The kitchenette was very sparsely equipped, I had to buy things just to make pasta. There was supposed to be a grill available for cooking meats and larger meals that are prohibited to make in the units, but the grill is completely rusted over to the point of being unsafe to use and doesn't even turn on. There were half used lotions and shampoos left for me and an open, used bar of soap left in the shower when I arrived. On the second day of my stay I noticed that the property is for sale which may be why the place feels neglected. I hope whom lever buys it treats it well because I'd love to stay agin once things are better.

    Our stay at this property was disappointing from the start. Just before our arrival, we were notified that the pool was out of service and given the option to cancel. Unfortunately, it was too late to find a viable alternative, so we proceeded with the stay. The exterior of the property is clearly neglected. Landscaping is overgrown, weeds push through the patio stones, and there were animal droppings around the pool area. Despite the message saying the pool was only recently out of service, it looked like it had been unusable for much longer. Inside, the room was thankfully clean and comfortable, with a nice interior. It had a small mini fridge and microwave, but don’t expect to cook – the outdoor grill they suggest using was rusted beyond belief and likely inoperable. The biggest letdown was the lack of service. When we had an issue, we tried contacting the office but only reached voicemail. Emails went unanswered. The only response we got was from a number that had previously texted arrival info, but even that wasn’t helpful. We eventually resolved the issue ourselves, but it was clear that if we’d needed real assistance, we likely would have been on our own. Unfortunately, this stay fell far short of expectations, and we won’t be returning.

    Room was excellent and recently remodeled I am assuming - pool was closed for maintenance during our stay which was the only down side.

    However, the property is on sale right now, the maintenance is not good. It’s humidity and smells moldy. The bed is comfortable but humidity. The bathroom is very basic. The kitchenwares are not clean.

    We had such expectations of this property as reviews were positive & we liked the idea of a smaller boutique style hotel in a quieter resort & near the coast. We picked the hotel as it had a pool & quiet pool area. We were on a cruise prior to our stay & did not have internet. When we docked, we had a message (only a couple of days old) to say the pool was out of action & awaiting maintenance. We had the option to cancel but it was too late to re-book anywhere else as it was spring break. We were only offered a $25 gift card for the inconvenience. I had a broken arm so we were relying on the pool area to relax as the beach was going to prove difficult. On arrival, there was no reception staff. The first room we were allocated had a moldy bathroom and window locks were broken. We struggled to make contact with the management as the only option was a US number which we could not use as we did not have international call facility. There is no reception, just a cleaning cupboard where the male was sat outside! We had to unpack as we could not make contact with anyone. We were eventually moved & there were issues with this room, broken locks, poorly maintained bathroom, gaps in front door etc. There is no housekeeping. It cannot be called a hotel as it offers no services. It is for sale so obvious no money being spent on it. Poorly maintained grounds. Further in depth review on Trip Advisor.

    Everything was great but we had an uncomfortable amount of mosquitos in our place. We stayed in #8 and it seemed like they were coming out of no where. We only stayed 2 nights so we got by and it wasn’t the worst experience I’ve ever had, but each night I had to spend 20mins killing bugs in our room before we went to bed so we didnt get bit. Only to find the next morning there were more. Hopefully the staff can take a look and get it fixed. There was also no toilet paper in the bathroom. I was excited because they had a 10/10 on Expedia and it didn’t live up to the expectations. Great experience but will find else where next time for a longer stay.

    Quite basic but is good for being close to the sea and a major supermarket just up the road. We had to use the same towels 5 days in a row as no one came in to do the bed or anything so it’s not really like a hotel

    Need to replace the beach umbrella, we got to the beach and the friction locking mechanism for the two poles to come together is broken. The solar remote for the tv is not a sustainable plan. It runs out of charge and you are stuck. This should be replaced. The property is nice, just needs some small tweaks.

    We had an amazing stay! First, they were very responsive to my questions before-hand. The rooms were very modern and exceedingly clean. The location was superb. About a 3-4 minute walk to the uncrowded part of the beach. Loved that they provided beach cart, umbrella and two chairs. Saw someone complain about the quality of the chairs in another room, but they were good quality - perfect for us. There was a little rust, but that’s what you expect with salt water. We’d definitely come back again!

    Relaxed, warm beachy area. Pool and outdoor area great. Unit roomy, comfy double bed, lounge and dining suite, TV options all good. Unfortunately, maintenance issues were a big downer. A sign on tgexwall warbs of large penaltues for missing or damaged beacg cgairs, cart, umbrella but when we arruved half the equipnent wasn't there. The water fliw from tge shower jep suddenly stooping abd it took a fair bit if time and fuddlung to get it going again, even after the maintenance person changed the shower head. Thus us no fun when lathered with soap and hair shampooed. Toilet seat was brojen. Nanagement response was prompt and good but folliw up maintainence was very poor. Despite promuses to cime vacj, toilet seat wasnt fixed during 4 days wexwere there only 2 two towels supplied and no room servicing was also disappointing. Without these issues, this would be a 5 star rating.

    TV remote did not function correctly, went on and off spontaneously, couldn’t change channels or control volume. Air conditioner made terrible noise on last night, had to turn it off. Beach chairs and umbrellas broken or in bad shape. Advertised amenities not present ie. laundry facilities, shopping boutique.No management on site to deal with issues.

    It is a very well maintained and manage property. We only saw staff once or twice through our time but communication was very good through messaging. Everything is painted up, trimmed and maintained. The unit looks out on the swimming pool as the other units with a pleasant decor. There is a modest yet effective kitchenette, which allows you to prepare light meals with a microwave, cook top, toaster, coffee maker, small refrigerator and sink. The bed was very comfortable and clean. The bathroom was pleasantly finished clean and spacious. The pool was lightly used, it was heated and you can have a private day as people infrequently came and went. Pleasant surprise to have available and free beach chairs, sun umbrella and transport carts on offer. We enjoyed our stay, it was a four minute walk to a major grocery store or the beach or a little further to the waterfront tourist area with restaurants and shops. There is really no better location or arrangement. Good value for the cost. We would rebook or recommend without hesitation.

Loved the “extras”…beach chairs, towels, beach cart to pull everything. Location was perfect…minutes from the beach, go North a few blocks to a grocery store, breakfast spot and CVS . About 5 blocks South is all the restaurant and dining options (on Commericial Ave.) No rental car is needed. You can walk to what you need. We will definitely be back.
