Seacrest Café
One of the newest additions to our community is the Seacrest Beach Café operated by Crust Artisan Bakery. The Café is located on the east side of the lagoon and features a delectable menu that is not your typical pool-side snack shack. They have seafood baskets, the classics such as chicken fingers and burgers, po-boys and sandwiches as well as a satisfying kids menu.
Lagoon/Amphitheater
Centered within the community is the Seacrest Lagoon. This 378,000-gallon pool is one of the largest private pools in the state of Florida, and is open year-round from 9am – 9:45pm for Seacrest residents and guests. At present, our amazing lagoon pool is heated only by the sun. The amphitheater is a grassy area where concerts, movies, and weddings are held. It is also great for a pick-up game of Bocce or Frisbee throwing.
Tram Service
From March through October, the Seacrest Tram service offers transportation to and from the designated tram stops in the neighborhood to the beach or the Lagoon. Simply walk out your front door go to the nearest tram stop and then call for pickup. The tram will arrive within fifteen minutes.

Wonderful stay and location!
8 / 10Excellent·Jun 2025
We loved the house and the location to everything… shops, beach, and pool. We did have a few issues though with the property:- the silverware needs replaced, there were no spoons- several light bulbs were out and need replaced. The whole lighting needs updated. It was very dark. - there is mold in the grout in both upstairs bathrooms- there is a large crack in the ceiling of one of the upstairs bathrooms that needs fixed- the hose outside is broken and needs replaced- I know you can’t pick who your neighbors are when you rent a vacation home but there was a group of 11 young men staying in the house next door who were carrying on until 4:00 in the morning every night.

I think the house was great. The description of sleeping 12 is a stretch for sure. Also, although an email was sent for bands and such it would have been nice to see that also through vrbo. Indidnt reaf the email until we were there so we didnt get bands for the beach. The chairs outside should be looked at
6 / 10Average·Jul 2021
This property was in a great location. It’s about a 5 minute walk to the beach and 5-10 minutes to shops. The house was clean and spacious. When you walk in it’s in the living room then dining room And kitchen. Next is a bedroom. You get to the back patio from there. It backs right up to 30A. The second level has the master with the trundle bed. The other bedroom in the floor is just one bed. Third level is a living room with a pull out couch and a chair. The chair is not something you can really sleep on and doesn’t even come with bedding. It was really unfortunate bc our group was 13 and that was the 13th spot. We had to end up sleeping 3 in the king bed. The pull outs are pretty uncomfortable as well. The mattress upstairs was old and stained and very thin.
Just as a heads up a couple things we were not prepared for. The house does not provide anything for the beach including beach towels and you aren’t supposed to take any towels there. They don’t provide any extra towels or bedding and the pull outs only come with thin blankets. There was only one trash bag provided. Not laundry soap. No spices or oil or salt and pepper. Not a lot of toilet paper or extra paper towels. I think there was only 2 towels for the kitchen and one we had to use for the leaky freezer. Another heads up is you can’t contact the management company through VRBO. I never got any info from them until I was charged the second time. I had been trying to contact them through the VRBO app but they don’t get those you have to call them. There are beach credits but just a heads up it doesn’t cover it all. And you have to book well in advance.
Last bit of info the beach access is right across the street. We had no idea how to get there and it looks like you have to go through a private area bc the gates for cars. You can use the walkway with your band on. We were super frustrated at the lack of info we had been given so hopefully this helps.
I hate to say anything bad bc this house is great but I would have wanted to know these things ahead of time.
