Our Happy Place

Sat to Sat only Memorial day thru Labor Day 2026. 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.
Our families have been vacationing at Seacrest for 15 years and enjoyed it so much we purchased our own unit. This is our personal vacation home and we would like to share it with you. 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. Enjoy the dolphins early and late.Gorgeous sunsets await your evening and then walk the beach searching for sand crabs. We provide the flashlights.
We provide a 50" SmartTV in the living room and 32" in the bedroom. We provide a washer/dryer in the closet by the bunks. Seacrest has overflow parking across the street if needed. The facility has a beautiful pool and hot tub with pool side restrooms. We have a boardwalk to the beach with a shower. Luggage carts are available in the lobby near the elevators. 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.
Look no further.. you have found your next vacation home on the sandy white beaches of Gulf Shores Alabama.
