This property is AMAZING. The pictures on line absolutely DO NOT do the place justice. Sea Oats is 10 times nicer in person ! Kyle, the property manager, was OUTSTANDING. He was so helpful, always responsive, answered every question and concern my guests and I had, and made the whole process a joy from start to finish. Vicki, the house manager, was equally wonderful. The house is beautifully designed and fully equipped with everything you could need .All of my 20 guests were blown away by our experience at Sea Oats. A

This was an absolutely fabulous estate. We had 13 in our group representing a family of 3 generations ranging in age from 72 to 9. Each was able to find their area of quietness and their areas of activity: tennis, beach, shelling, swimming pool, boating, kayaking, paddle boarding, fishing and so on. It is an expensive retreat but very much worth it. I don't think it was overpriced at all. The common living areas were conducive to gathering and comfort. The kitchen was top notch and the table for 12+ in the kitchen area was made to create memorable evenings of conviviality and bonding. The pool was wonderful in the morning hours and good for the sun worshipers in the afternoon. The wildlife was varied from manatees to tarpons to snooks and so on. With your eyes open even more wild life was there: ospreys, flamingoes, scorpions, iguanas, snakes, and sea hares. It was a memorable experience for even the most jaded of our travelers. One night we indulged in a personal chef recommended by Christine. Chef Galvin prepared a fabulous meal that even our world travelers are still raving about. It started with deep water scallops kimchi and moved to salad and then wonderful grouper and finished with chocolate molten lava cakes. Non seafood eaters were rewarded with petite filets suis vide and then seared on site and awesome pasta, The chef then left us with lagniappe of an authentic key lime pie to enjoy for 3 mor days. A truly awesome experience. Six stars on a five scale.
