If you want a nice and comfortable unit in a great location, within a block or two of the Beach, as well as being across the street from all the stores and dining options located in Coligny Plaza, then Sea Crest may be a good choice for you. You can almost park your car for the week and walk everywhere from here.
This is a 1BR/1.5BA Loft unit located on the 5th floor, with extra high ceilings. Kitchen area is not especially large but it is fully equipped with Full size Refrigerator, Stove / Oven, Dishwasher, Microwave, Toaster, Blender, etc. It provides pretty much everything you need to prepare a meal or whip up a snack.

UNITS / PHOTOS
Please note that this listing includes multiple weeks available. The photos reflect the interiors of several different units you might be assigned, depending on which specific week you book. However, these units all have the same basic floorplan, with the general decor and layout reflected in the photos. If you have any questions, please feel free to ask.
UNIT INTERIORS
Since this property was originally constructed in the 1980's, I would not necessarily call this a "luxurious" resort. However, you will find most unit interiors are clean and comfortable but a little dated. Hopefully the photos provided give you a general understanding for what I am describing.
The benefits offered by staying at this resort includes being in a great location within walking distance to all the shopping and restaurants in Coligny Circle. You will also be a short walk to easy and convenient beach access and you also have access to a large Oceanfront pool with Pool Bar serving drinks and pub fare (see photos section for location of Oceanfront pool relative to main Sea Crest property).
This unit also offers accommodations at a price point that offers good value for a family friendly budget. Many families enjoy their annual vacations at this property, however if you are a traveler that requires luxury accommodations, this may not be the right choice for you. If you have any specific questions on this please don't hesitate to ask.
GUEST ACCESS
This is a Resort Hotel property. So Guests will have their own private unit, but resort amenities (Pools, Hot Tubs, Tennis Courts, Grills, etc) will be shared with other guests.

- Any security deposit will be returned to you after Check Out if you have not made any charges to your room. But please note your Credit Card will be charged $25 for any lost room keys.
- Sea Crest Surf and Racquet Club complex is professionally managed. The Front Desk is staffed for Check-In, Check-Out, and is available for any questions, issues, or need for assistance. They are there to help so please don’t hesitate to contact them during your stay.
- Please note that once you Check In and get access to your unit, if you encounter any issues or concerns regarding Housekeeping, Maintenance, etc…please contact the Front Desk / Office IMMEDIATELY. The staff members on-site provide the best opportunity to get any concerns resolved in the fastest and most efficient manner.
- Please note that some of the photos may not be from the specific unit you will be assigned. However, they do reflect the general layout you can expect from various locations in the unit.
- There is 1 FREE parking spot that comes with this unit (at no additional cost).
- If you need extra parking for an additional vehicle, you can arrange this directly with the Front Desk. The first option for extra parking is the Overflow Lot near the Tennis Court, but this is on First Come / First Serve basis. If the Overflow Lot is full, then you may be forced to try and find public parking in the Coligny Circle area. This only applies to extra parking beyond the 1 FREE parking pass.
- Bedding linens, blankets, pillows are provided, as are bath towels. However, if you need additional items for bedding, pillows, or blankets / comforters during your stay, please bring your own, as the Front Desk may NOT be able to provide extra bedding or pillows. Although basic bedding linens, blankets, and pillows are provided, I highly recommend you bring some of your own if your family members have their own favorite pillows or blankets.
- If you plan on using the Sleeper sofa during your stay, I do personally recommend (if possible) bringing sheets, blankets, pillows, maybe even a mattress pad for the Sleeper sofa specifically, which can be turned into a very comfortable extra bed. However, if you do not bring your own the Front Desk can and does provide linens and blankets for the Sleeper Sofa.
- Utensils, Dishes, and some basic Pots and Pans are provided. If something appears to be missing, you can contact the Front Desk and possibly get it dropped off (if they have it). However, if you plan on cooking a lot of meals inside your unit, or plan any special dishes, I do recommend bringing your favorite Large Frying pan (or Large Sauté Pan, Wok, Crockpot, etc, etc) for cooking. This way you will have something you are comfortable using and you will know exactly how things will cook in it. You may also want to bring your favorite Kitchen knife(s) for food prep.
- Toilet paper, trash bags, Soap for the Dishwasher, etc are all provided. If you need more during your stay you can contact the Front Desk and they can provide them.
- The property does NOT provide Paper Towels or Dish Soap for the sink. You will need to bring your own. There are many stores conveniently located within a few minutes from the facility if you want to shop for any groceries or personal items you want during your stay.
