HighPointe Resort at Seacrest

[JB]

Does anyone have any info on this property? Due to all the seawall construction at BMB, we are looking at shifting our reservation to this property.

Also, any info on the condition of the beaches in this area is appreciated.

PM River Otter. He has a couple of places there. He and GB were just in town last week so he might even have some pics of the beach. We are at Seacrest Beach North and our stretch of beach is adjacent to High Pointe. The beach is looking really good right now. Getting better each trip we make.

As far as I know the beaches are in good shape. The resort is nice with a great pool, it is gated, walking distance to Rosemary and The Village of South Walton.I think you will love it.

RO can give you the scoop on Highpoint. You might also consider Dunes of Seagrove--the beach is very nice there.

I own 2 condos there. No issues at all. Just got back from there. Pleanty of sand and beach. Not too many people. 6,000 sq ft pool, shuffle board, clay tennis courts, restaurant / bar at the end of the pool at the top of the stairs to the beach. The property is real good at policing the grounds for pool crashers so the pool is rarely crowded and there is a hot tub that gets alot of action. If you have specific questions PM or post them.

One more thing. If you want a view of the gulf you need to make sure you rent 2nd floor or higher. I have a 4th floor pool unit and a 4th floor beach front unit.


Here is the view from our pool front (They have now added tile pavers instead of the concrete to the pool deck.

Here is the sand at HighPointe just last week

Thanks RO and all. I haven't completely decided to move yet, but it's nice to have an option. My choice is basically a free-standing house with no pool, but a great view and maybe four people for every 100 yards of beach AND rampant seawall construction -OR- a condo with a nice pool, no seawall construction, but probably ten times as many people on the beach at any given time. I guess I'll just have to decide what's most important

Was at the beach in front of HighPointe today. Beach is beautiful, Very wide. Rosemary and Alys have brought in sand to fill the dunes but no seawalls and it looks like they'll be done pretty quick. There were quite a few people in front of HighPointe but you can just go a few hundred feet west and it's preety dead in front of Paradise by the Sea and Alys. Beautiful Day! Lots of people in the water......Brrrrrr!

Not sure when you are planning your trip. There will be more people on the beach in front of HP BUT nothing and I mean NOTHING like Destin. In 4 years of vacationing at HP I can only remember 1 time that the beach chairs got 2 rows deep. There really isn't that many people there. Most of the owners raise hell cause of the lack of rentals. Fortunately our units stay rented.

RO, if the unit I was being offered was not on the ground floor, I would likely jump all over it. As it stands now, I am likely going to just stay put. But it looks like a heckuva nice property. Maybe something to consider for our fall trip.
