Real Estate (Lot) Values in Seacrest Beach

[imasunbum]

I get annoyed when someone advertises a gulf view and it's really a little slice of a view that I have to squint to see. I lose trust when someone advertises a gulf view and it's only a sliver because that teeny view of the gulf becomes irrelevant to the quality of my vacation (except that I'm annoyed with the owner). Makes me wonder what else is being exaggerated. Unless it's a really good view I value other things such as peace and quiet, if I have kids -- proximity to the pool, convenience to parking/food/etc.

(other than cost), I consider the following when choosing a vacation place/home: conveniences so I can relax and not get stressed when coordinating a family -- easy is the name of the game when on vacation; peace and quiet, aesthetics (the beauty and there are many kinds of beauty -- a view of the ocean can be beautiful or trite/overblown; a pool can be noisy or charming and interesting for people-watching; etc. I'd also think about how things change over seasons.

Thanks for your opinion Paula. I agree with you pretty much, but there is a good chance that this view may remain unobstructed (just by exact position of it) - at least I hope so, because right now the view is absolutely awesome (no slice here - the whole pie!) Maybe I will get lucky!

I would love a beautiful view of the gulf, no doubt about it. If I was pretty sure no one would build in front of it, I'd go for the view. We stayed in a 2-bedroom condo overlooking the ocean on Waikiki Beach this past summer and it was mesmerizing and we'd go back to that same condo anytime because we were so happy there.
