    We really enjoyed this place, and appreciated the added child safety of the it being completely fenced in, as well as the convenience of games and beach toys being provided. The Gilchrist beach is much less crowded than Crystal Beach, but this location is not quite as good as the house we usually stay in about a mile closer to Crystal Beach. This house is very close to the water, but the beach access was a little difficult, considering the sand dunes and built up shell and seaweed area in front of the dunes. When tide is in, theres very little beach, as some cars and golf carts go by occasionally, so you have to leave a narrow path for them. Also, the beach is covered with broken shells, so you really need to wear shoes on the beach and in the water. Also, I wasn't a fan of the beds, as they were not firm enough for us, but rather were so soft that you sunk into the mattresses some. The kitchen had nice appliances, and was well supplied, other than only having a few plastic drinking glasses, and 2 stemless plastic wine glasses. Another positive was how quickly the owner answered our questions. Be aware that the house sways a little at times, but this didnt really bother us.

    Cannot say enough good things about the house, the location and the owner. They checked in the morning after our first nite just to see how we were doing and if we needed anything. They were responsive (almost within minutes ) to a few random questions. I loved the location, a little quieter area of the beach. The house was just as presented in the description, we will be staying here again!!

    House was secluded & right on the water. Host communicated well & responded quickly. Only issues was the WiFi went out after a storm & the cell signals were spotty. Host quickly communicated updates & service was restored with a few hours. We would definitely stay here again.

    This was out 2nd visit to the Regal Seagull. Our trip was planned a week after Hurricane Beryl. We were able to easily communicate to find out if there was any damage to the property before making the trip. It's a nice, relaxing spot close to the water, not as much traffic on the beach, so its nice for the kids to play.

    This house is so close to the beach! We had a wonderful time relaxing and enjoying our private time on the beach. The house was clean and decorated nicely. The beds are so incredibly comfortable. The owners were very responsive and accommodating. We had a very nice stay!
