Not sure of your dates but this carriage house is very close the the pool, as I recall. The VRBO listing says it's 5 lots away:

Seacrest Beach Florida Seagrove Beach Vacation Rental - House

There are a couple of listings that sleep 6 in the Villas at Seacrest Beach, which overlook the pool. All the other places that rim the pool are single family homes. Here's a link to Seacrest rentals; look for the link for Villas at Seacrest Beach.

The Villages of South Walton (the building in the link) is part of Seacrest Beach and has access to the 12,000 square foot pool. If I am not mistaken I think the Villages also has its own small pool, but I am not sure.

The Villages is on the border next to Rosemary Beach, so it would not be "footsteps" from the pool. The units seem to be very nice though.

I would also nose around the VRBO listings and see if you can find some of the smaller 1-story cottages in Seacrest. Those are usually behind the pool toward the back, but they may be pretty close to the pool when all is said and done. Plus you get the tram service to the beach.

You can always ask the owners for the address and try to run it through Google Maps to see where it is in relation to the pool. The zip code is 32413 and I know I can pull up my own house -- but it is toward the front of Seacrest; not sure whether the entire neighborhood is mapped.

Hope this helps. :wave:

The Village of South Walton does have smaller units that would be more accommodating. They also have the tram service that will take you to the pool.

It's a matter of opinion, anywhere in Seacrest or the Village of South Walton is walking distance for me.

I agree with SWGB on this one. It is definitely within walking distance. See if you can zoom in on Google Maps and take a look.

Our house is on the other end of Seacrest from the Village, and the pool is in the middle, and the pool is a 2 or 3 minute walk from our house. I would never consider taking the tram.

But if you were looking for something that "overlooks" the pool, that's a different story. It's harder to get that though on short notice for the popular spring break week.

is it a walk on a good sidewalk to get there or would we be traveling on the side of the road in sand

i just want it to be convenient to walk to the pool and not have to pack the whole kitchen sink and have the whole day there

It is either street walking or there is a gravel path. Again all relative depending on your personal preference. The tram will also allow you to take things like coolers, toys, etc. with you.

The quickest way would be to go behind the building and through the neighborhood -- combination of street and sidewalks. As SWGB said, you can always take the tram if you have to lug a lot of stuff. It is free (but we tip the driver when we use it ;-))

I forget the exact name of those buildings, but all of the units are 3/3 with an additional bedroom or "bunk" room. Their all way overkill for 3 people.

http://images.vrbo.com/vrbo/images/1f7ef1 do you guys know what rentals are in these buildings?

Those are the Villas of Seacrest Beach. I referenced them in an earlier post.

I plowed through VRBO's listings for Seacrest Beach North for a moment and came up with this one. Looks open:

Seacrest Beach Vacation Cottage Swimming Pool - Beach Cottage

I looked on google maps and there is a little area almost directly across from the seacrest inn, with blue roofs. THere is also a small pool in the center of this complex, Any idea what this is?
