8BR 7.5BA Beachfront duplex side. Pool. Extra fridges. Lots of space. And right on the beach! Sleeps 26, or up to 52 in both sides!

Big is beautiful! Sea Monster is a “monster” as in BIG, but she's certainly not ugly! And the location! Can't be beat. Close to everything, especially the beach! Right out your back door, with the only thing between you and the water being sand... and well, more water... because your own pool, private to the duplex is right there too! Plus... this home is right across from Waves Grocery, ice cream, seafood and a great bar and grill! Location. Location. Location.

This listing is for the East side unit, Sea Monster, East! You can also rent the other side, or both together as a 2x8 bedroom place. Like having a 16 bedroom but with two of almost everything: kitchens, living rooms, more! Well, FOUR of some things since each side has TWO refrigerators! When renting both sides, guests may unlock the connecting door on the main level for easy access between the two sides without going up and down the stairs from the main entries.

It is perfect for those larger get togethers: plenty of space to be together but plenty of your own space too!

Sea Monster is a duplex with 8 bedrooms and 7.5 baths on each side! It sleeps up to 26, or 52 if you take both sides. Each side has the following:

2nd Floor (Main) North BR: King with en suite bath
3rd Floor South BR: King with en suite bath
3rd Floor Middle BR: King with en suite bath
3rd Floor North BR: King with ensuite bath (typically provides access to anyone in Living Room/QSS)
4th Floor South BR: King with ensuite bath (shared with bunk room, private access from both rooms)
4th Floor Middle South BR: 2 x Twin Bunks (shared with South BR, private access from both rooms)
4th Floor Middle North BR: Queen, bath in hallway next to room, not specifically shared with another room
4th Floor North BR: 2 Queen + Twin Bunk with en suite bath

All bedrooms have en suite bathrooms EXCEPT the 4th Floor Middle North BR. Note, there are not separate bathrooms if using the Living Room or Lounge QSS so bath use would be with adjacent rooms. Additionally, the bunk room can either use the adjacent (en suite, separate entrance with the south bedroom) OR the common bath on that level.

TWO REFRIGERATORS
Yes, two per side. Because... you need a lot of space for shrimp and beverages!

POOL You bet!
BIG outdoor pool (shared only between the two sides). 30x16x3-5' rectangular bit of beachfront bliss!

PARKING
There is available onsite parking for at least 6 cars per side. More if you park under then home and stack carefully. Just share nice with the neighbors!

WIFI/INTERNET
YES! We have an awesome Eero mesh network to ensure excellent wifi coverage throughout this spacious home. Spotty coverage is always an issue for big places. Sure internet may work next to the router in the living room, but what about the far reaches of the home! That's why we installed a multi-node mesh network. And what's the internet like It is generally solid and ran > 100Mb down the last test--sufficient for several simultaneous video conference sessions for remote work and education. Internet is, of course, an amenity and subject to service provider outages (and guests troubleshooting it), especially with the havoc the sand and salt wreak on cabling and facilities, no more so than any other home on the beach though, and likely better since its close in and new construction!

SOAPS, TOWELS, COFFEE, ETC ETC
As with most beach homes in the area, the local mgt co provide what they call a starter supply of soaps, toilet paper, and paper towels, etc. Enough for the first night to get you going! Please plan to bring or purchase additional supplies, and any cleaning or pantry supplies you may need, or to make a quick run to the store (or have it delivered!). You will want to bring beach towels or beach chairs as well. Because mgt cos will not generally support them, grills are not provided, though they are sometimes inherited from prior guests: your mileage may vary on this, and we usually assess and then go snag a small charcoal kettle when we come down ourselves. Also of note: at many locations, you may find the bunk beds (and certain other beds) are not fully made--instead a bedding pack is provided. This is a common practice for the local management companies, which is both green (if the bedding is not used, it doesn't have to be laundered) AND more sanitary--housekeeping does not have to crawl on the bunks and so on to make the beds. Also also... all our homes have drip coffee makers and most now have Keurigs as well.

No smoking please. No pets.

SNOWBIRDS! Up to 2/3rds off for off-season stays of 28 days or longer.

    We rented the East and West houses. Total family engaged week. Space to group and to enjoy some private time. Wonderful

    So many great things to say about the Seamonster! It is perfect for large families or friend vacations. Right on the beach with pool..so convenient with kids! NO waiting on elevators with sandy toys and impatient kids! The ice cream shop, restaurant, and seafood market right across the street was so nice. The teens kept the ice cream shop busy and looked forward to it everyday! The house had everything we needed and Rick has been great to work with. We have booked back to back years and can't wait to book again! 5star rental! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ [? Thanks so much Jessica! You had me at ice cream! ? See you next year! Hey, updated the main floor master bath after your stay. You'll like it a lot, I think! Always happy to have you all! See you next year! Let's get it locked in before it gets away! Many weeks are already gone for summer of next year (and its a year away!). Will poke you. Thank you so much! Best wishes til next time! ?]

    Great stay. Sea Monster was perfect for us. Very big. We never felt on top of each other, and the new bath and tile in the main level master bedroom was a very nice improvement over the pics! We will be back!

    Super cute house with tons of rooms for each couple to have their own room and bathroom! This was perfect for our big family vacation house to sleep everyone plus plenty of options for the kids to not be in beds with anyone else!

    We had a great time with our family vacation. Only issue was one of the bath jacuzzis was out of order. It would’ve been nice to have operational.

    Our family, ages 2-75 stayed Thanksgiving week at the Sea Monster West and it couldn’t have been more perfect. The property was clean and we had everything we needed. We had a hot water problem on arrival that was fixed within a couple hours. We really enjoyed our stay.Thank you

    Great location! Great views! 99% perfect. Rooms are large and comfortable. We had 5 families, 19 people and it worked well. Little bit tight for the older kids. Broken coffee maker and almost no sheet cooking pans kept it from being 100.[? Thanks Tom! Glad you had a 99% perfect stay! ? We will get that 1% back next time. Speaking of, if you have little things like that, just reach out. Happy to have things replenished. Some of those probably migrated next door--in the duplexes, it is very common for folks to rent both sides (for LOTS of space, and double all the living areas), but sometimes the cooks move things around when that happens and that doesn't always get caught in the hubbub of same day turns. Sheet pans, utensils, crockpots (heck, I've seen furniture!) go walkabout in those situations. Just send a note next time to me, or to Bama Beach Houses, and they will be right out. Ditto if you have any issues with anything at all! Thanks again! Again, so glad you all had a wonderful time in Sea Monster! ?]

    Faucet in kitchen sink was quirky. Would not shut completely off unless a certain place found and was not the same place each time. Floor in main den needed to be moped--9 month old had dirty feet from crawling on the floor. Otherwise was a very good stay.
