I'm in the process of trying to choose a place to stay for our annual vacation to Santa Rosa/Seagrove in early August. We need 4 bedrooms and 4 bathrooms...we are actually 3 families with 3 young children. Seabreeze cottages have caught my eye, however, I'm not as familiar with the Seacrest Beach area. We've only driven through; never stayed in the area. Is anyone familiar with the beachwalks specifically at the Seabreeze Cottages?
We're accustomed to steps, but I am wondering if the elevation is higher and concerned that it might be difficult for young children (as well as a pregnant daughter-in-law!) Any insight would really be appreciated!

First, Seabreeze Cottages are in Seacrest. Seacrest Beach is further East between Alys Beach and Rosemary. The Cottages are on one of the highest elevations along 30a on the north side of the street. There is a public access right across the street which is convenient and they due have a community pool.

Thanks...so you're saying that the walk down to the beach is higher than Seagrove, let's say at One Seagrove area or Seagrove Villas?

Seabreeze Cottages in Seacrest

Yes, I don't know the exact elevation at One Seagrove but Seabreeze Cottages is around 35 - 37', higher than Seagrove for sure.

Didn't you post this same question earlier? Seabreeze Cottages are in Seacrest across from Mstral Condos on North side of 30a. Public access right across street and has community pool. On the negative side, they are right on 30a so noise might be a problem. Also, they are on one of the highest elevations on 30a so there are a lot of steps down to the beach.

Yes, I did post the same question on the vacation rental forum...thanks for your response. I was hoping to get a little more info on the exact location. You've explained it in this post and I will be able to check it out on Google Earth.

My friends and inlaws stayed at Magnolia Cottages in Seacrest last Aug, very pretty, nice pool area, great prices were the perks. Not so great was 5 min + walk to beach, houses really close to each other, and the beachwalkover was terribly steep and high (as well as narrow). All of the walkovers in this area are high and seemed pretty steep to me from the distance. But, Seacrest seems to have the best prices.

Rosemary Beach has a very nice handicap access to their beach which makes it easy for those who can't walk a lot of stairs.
