A Comfortable Well-Priced Stay in a Great Community
We are regulars to Seacrest Beach and have always enjoyed this little community. This propertyâs location is wonderful. Easy to access the beach tram or take the short walk, and well-positioned for a stroll into Alys Beach where we love spending time.Pros for this listing:- location- well-priced for this area- comfortable beds & couches- well-stocked kitchenCons:- we had no WiFi for the entirety of our stay. We said contact the property about this and the next morning someone came out and said they would have to set us up an appointment with the service provider. That did not happen. - No extra garbage bags or toilet paper were provided- several areas around the house could use a little attention such as broken blinds, scuffed or half-done paint, broken/unattached shutters, and a sink in the bunk room that doesnât drain very well.- no hand towels provided.We still had a great trip despite these small things, but definitely felt it a departure from our previous experiences!
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay here! Great house with everything needed for a wonderful week at the beach! Perfect neighborhood and great location for biking and walking!
We loved this cottage in Seacrest! The decor was really nice (loved the cute bumblebee theme) and the home was extremely comfortable, including the beds. The kitchen was well-stocked and we also loved the locationâŠ.Just a quick bike ride to the beach or into town. We would rent again for the 5 of us-Highly recommend!
Overall the house and location were great. However, itâs clear the home was decorated to look nice for rental pictures and amenities to get bookings but lacked attention to the renters experience.
For example, all of the bikes had issues. None had full pressure tires. Seats were jammed and the height could not be adjusted. One bike had clearly been in a wreck and had crooked handle bars and the chain guard was bent. 2 of the 3 bikes had bent back wheels. We made use of them, but it was clear the bikes are included to make the sale on the rental and not provide 3 fully usable bikes. Nearly all of the doors to the porches were jammed and were difficult to get in and out of. The door to the top deck looked nearly busted so we didnât use it. While communicated in the check in info, it seems silly for the house to not be fully stocked with toilet paper, paper towels, etc.
We did enjoy the stay, but was clear the goal is to shave extra profits each week instead of take good care of the place. Will likely visit the area again but will pick another house.
The property is very nice and is in a great location. Check in process was easy with good communication from host. Just the sofas and towels had some stains on them but otherwise very clean.
Perfect spot to walk to town , beach , pool âŠ. Excellent decor and kitchen was very well stocked . The beds were very comfortable. Access to Panama Airport is great , loved having 3 bikes included . Will stay again for sure .
Pros:
Excellent location
Good layout with separate bedrooms and bathrooms
Close to the beach
Shuttle service if you need it around the area
Cons:
Lack of service... the day we checked in the sink in my room was broken with standing clogged water in it from the day of check-in to the day we checked out.
The doors were warped and the top floor balcony door wouldn't connect with the frame, was cracked, and flew open/couldn't close... leaving it wide open and bugs coming into the property. Again from the first day to the last day.
Each time I reached out to the property management company, I was told maintenance would be there and they never showed up... FOR OUR ENTIRE STAY. And all I got was a "sorry, we're short staffed."
The countertops were sticky and dirty and had to be thoroughly wiped down.
The tops of the yellow stools had caked-on grime that had to be cleaned.
The dishes in the cabinets had stuck on food and were dirty.
It was disappointing to say the least and we will not be returning to this property or using this company again. A shame for them as I visit 2 - 4 times per year.
It's sad when you're looking for a "go to" and are met with a laissez-faire attitude and lackluster service or care. A big miss and a botched opportunity to lose our business.
I hope your response and lack thereof throughout our stay was worth it.
This house met all our needs for an extended weekend stay with couple friends. We just missed the beach tram service provided by the neighborhood, because we came in early November, but it was a quick and easy walk to the beach (took us about 8 min). Very walkable distance to both Rosemary beach and Alys beach. Cannot recommend enough! Great location!
We enjoyed our stay here, and the view from the 3rd floor is beautiful. The only drawback was the size of the bathrooms and bedrooms. There really isnât a true master bedroom in this house. The bedrooms are small and baths are tiny.
The house (bumblebee cottage) was spacious enough for us and our three teenagers. Having the living/kitchen space on a different floor than all the bedrooms was ideal. Great location, we would come back again. House had everything we needed!
We had an incredible stay as a family of four. The house was beautifully laid out with ample amount of space for all of us. The location within Seacrest is perfect as you can walk or bike to anything, and a very short walk across 30A to the beach. We loved walking into Rosemary and having drinks in Alys Beach. We will definitely be back next summer
