Does anyone know if there is a clubhouse area in the Seacrest Beach North area? Looking for a family friendly place that the guys can play pool with the kids? I also have been looking at the photo galleries.... what can we expect at the beach access we will have while staying at in the Secrest Beach North area? We have rented a home for the second week of June...this is our first visit to the area. Thanks for the info!

In my opinion, you will love Seacrest Beach North. We have a home there and the community is great for families, and the pool is amazing.
There is not a clubhouse in the development, and I don't know of a place to play pool ... but no doubt there is a restaurant/bar somewhere along 30-A that has pool. I have never been in a place anywhere along 30-A that isn't family friendly, and Florida has a strict law against smoking in restaurants, so you don't have to worry about anywhere they might find to hang out. We like nearby Shades at the Loop, a restaurant/sports bar. I don't think they have pool but they do have a small arcade.
The beach looks lovely. We were just there last month and it is nice and wide. The walkovers are new and safe and everything is fine. Seacrest also offers shuttle service, via a large golf cart, to the beach access for owners and guests.
If you have more questions, you've found the right place to ask!

:lolabove: Ha ha! I meant the swimming pool. I'm assuming you meant the billiards kind?
:welcome: by the way!

You're gonna love it. I'm a full time resident of Seacrest Beach. The beach access if fine, you can have the tram drop you off if you're dragging stuff. Beach looks good. There's a sports bar right down the road at carillon beach but not sure if they have billiard tables. Googled these 2 in Destin:
Ruperts Billiards and Blues Bar, 850-654-5251, 34876 Emerald Coast Pkwy, Destin, FL
The Side Pocket, 850-654-6883, 205 Mountain Drive, Destin, FL
Does Snapperhead's have biliards? Anybody? :idontno:

Now that you've mentioned it, I recall hearing that the sports bar closed. Was there end of October so sometime after that I guess.
OK edmonson, Snapperheads

PaulaBeach FanaticMichigan but someday in SoWal as well3,747 postsJoined View profileMessageBeach FanaticShades right near Seacrest Beach North is a sports bar. They may have a pool table but I don't know for sure. I saw a room with some video games in the back once. They have TVs for watching sports, a great atmosphere (regardless of whether you like sports bars -- quite elegant) and I like the food very much (inexpensive oyster po'boy sandwiches) -- and wireless Internet.

Camp Creek KidChristini ZambiniSeacrest Beach1,277 postsJoined View profileMessageChristini ZambiniShades does not have a pool table. The "game room" consists of 3 arcade video games. The closest family friendly place with pool tables is probably Rocket Lanes in the Edgewater Plaza in Panama City Beach. It is about 20 minutes east of Seacrest on Beckrich Road. There are pool tables, arcade games, a bowling alley, and a roller skating rink. It is a decent enough place and kids really enjoy it. Go during the day when it is quiet if you have young kids. The crowd at night is college aged and gets pretty rowdy. It is PCB after all.

This is good advice, CCK. We'll give Rocket Lanes a try, most likely when we're there off season sometime (e.g., our February trip). Is Edgewater the same plaza that has a movie theatre (I'm thinking about rainy days, of course).

Paula, it really isn't crowded in-season if you go during the day on a weekday. Its a nice break if you've had too much sun and need an afternoon off from the beach. I've been there many times in the summer and we've had no problems. Rainy days will most likely be quite crowded.
Yes, its by the movie theatres in PCB.

Not quite the same if you're not on vacation. Seems like there's never enough time to enjoy it. I told myself that I'm going to the watercolor show this weekend and gotta get back to daily bicycle rides. I just love summer :lolabove:

PaulaBeach FanaticMichigan but someday in SoWal as well3,747 postsJoined View profileMessageBeach FanaticThanks GTBM and CCK: Perhaps we'll try it out in June or August when we're there as a family. Sounds like a great place to know about. I was more concerned about the drive to get there in the summer, but maybe it's not as bad as I thought! If it rains when I'm in SoWal in May, I think I'll just sit on the porch listen to the raindrops on the tin roof.
Cork: I certainly understand. It's somewhat the same when you own a vacation place and rent it out. Whenever I go there, I always have a lot to do to keep the cottages in shape (I'm a do-it-yourself-if possible-person) -- maintenance, cleaning, cutting down native thorny vines in the native landscape (those vines are the only annoyance of the native landscape -- everything else about it is wonderful), buying stuff for the cottages, bleaching the white wood on the porch to get rid of the mold at least twice a year, etc. But even with all that, it's great to be there. And I think some of the work is of my own making -- I'm going to try to make myself do less when I'm there and relax even more. But even when I'm working there, the beach/weather/space makes it a wonderful place to be.

Amen to that Paula. I've promised myself that I'm gonna get off this darn computer and start savoring this beautiful place a little more. Just get so focused on work sometimes I forget to smell the roses (or the salt air in my case). So went to the art show today. Saw the movie "inside man" tonight - great movie. Then even went to a great little piano bar afterwards. Even planned a weekend trip with a friend to New York to do the theatre. so that's my first step to letting up on the work and starting to get back into enjoying everything that we're so lucky to have thanks for the reminder 😀

PaulaBeach FanaticMichigan but someday in SoWal as well3,747 postsJoined View profileMessageBeach FanaticHey, we saw "Inside Man" last night, too. I thought it was a great movie as well. Very clever plot.
OK, I'm going to commit to so many hours of work when at the cottages (they do need upkeep to keep them in good shape for guests) and then just relax the rest of the time. And I'm going to figure out how to get out of there the morning we leave without getting stressed. And I may eventually break down and hire some of this work out, though I do like getting to know the cottages and their upkeep more intimately. And some of it is good exercise (e.g., the weeding). But then, so is bikeriding or more walks on the beach!

Kept me on the edge of my seat the whole time.

Good Idea! A Plan! I've got someone coming in from South Beach tonight so MUST clean. Normally would be on the puter half the day an clean the rest but not today! Quick bite now. Walk on the beach. Be back by 11:30 to clean. I'm outta here. Thanks for the motivation!
