Beach Service
The Seacrest Beach Homeowner’s Association is proud to have La Dolce Vita act as our ambassadors down at the beach. You can reserve beach chairs or setup a beach bonfire by visiting their on-line reservation portal or give them a call at 866-651-1869.

Seacrest Café
One of the newest additions to our community is the Seacrest Beach Café operated by Crust Artisan Bakery. The Café is located on the east side of the lagoon and features a delectable menu that is not your typical pool-side snack shack. They have seafood baskets, the classics such as chicken fingers and burgers, po-boys and sandwiches as well as a satisfying kids menu.

Lagoon/Amphitheater
Centered within the community is the Seacrest Lagoon. This 378,000-gallon pool is one of the largest private pools in the state of Florida, and is open year-round from 9am – 9:45pm for Seacrest residents and guests. At present, our amazing lagoon pool is heated only by the sun. The amphitheater is a grassy area where concerts, movies, and weddings are held. It is also great for a pick-up game of Bocce or Frisbee throwing.

Tram Service
From March through October, the Seacrest Tram service offers transportation to and from the designated tram stops in the neighborhood to the beach or the Lagoon. Simply walk out your front door go to the nearest tram stop and then call for pickup. The tram will arrive within fifteen minutes. The tram starts running every day at 9:00 AM and the last pickup from the beach is 5:30 PM seven days a week.

NO GOLF CARTS ALLOWED!

Beach Access
Seacrest Beach enjoys a deeded beach access at the entrance of the neighborhood, across Hwy 30-A, through the Sunset community. Seacrest residents and guests may walk through the pedestrian boardwalk, or ride the tram through the easement.

Restaurants/Retail
Seacrest Beach’s neighboring developments, The Village of South Walton, Alys Beach, and Rosemary Beach, offer an array of excellent local dining and shopping options. These areas are well within a 15 –minute walk from anywhere in Seacrest Beach.

Walking Trails
Over 1.35 miles of shaded walking trails winding through the community

    We loved the house and the location to everything… shops, beach, and pool. We did have a few issues though with the property:- the silverware needs replaced, there were no spoons- several light bulbs were out and need replaced. The whole lighting needs updated. It was very dark. - there is mold in the grout in both upstairs bathrooms- there is a large crack in the ceiling of one of the upstairs bathrooms that needs fixed- the hose outside is broken and needs replaced- I know you can’t pick who your neighbors are when you rent a vacation home but there was a group of 11 young men staying in the house next door who were carrying on until 4:00 in the morning every night.

    I think the house was great. The description of sleeping 12 is a stretch for sure. Also, although an email was sent for bands and such it would have been nice to see that also through vrbo. Indidnt reaf the email until we were there so we didnt get bands for the beach. The chairs outside should be looked at

    We came here for spring break. The house had more than enough space for our family with older kids. Great location. Can’t beat it. The only suggestion that I would have is more clear instructions on where to pick up up the wristbands. Instead of instructing people to look for a P on the map, simply say “go to the pool”’ to pick up welcome packet and wristbands.

    Driftwood Cottage is a great property, it has a fully stocked kitchen, comfortable bedrooms with plenty of outdoor options for eating and relaxing. We had 2 issues - the grill didn’t work and internet connectivity was intermittent. The property managers were responsive and helpful.

    Great location and Neighborhood for a girls trip! We had ages from 13-60. Loved the tram stop right outside the front door and easy walking distance to the beach (4 minutes), shopping, restaurants, Rosemary and Alys! House was a great set up for 8 people and could have easily handled a few more! Overall the house was very clean and new! Furniture, bathrooms, kitchen etc were all great! Super comfy beds, great water pressure in the shower and a big washer and dryer. A well stocked kitchen with plenty of plates, silverware, cups, service bowls, etc. Big pantry, plenty of areas to sit and relax indoors and out! Xbox, games, Tvs on multiple floors. A couple of Negatives... 1. There was not a broom. There was a dust brush and dust pan, but nothing to do a good sweep of the kitchen and living room wood floors. 2. We killed a couple of spiders on the wall inside. 3. A bed blanket and a mattress pad on a pull out couch had some stains..... 4. Downstairs bedroom closet shelves were broken and no room for hanging clothes. None of these were the end of there world, We just didn't sweep and dealt with the sand on the floor, we killed the spiders and we took the blanket off the bed, didn't use the pull out couch, and keep our clothes folded. Overall, we would stay here again and had a great vacation! The location in Seacrest can't be beat!
