We loved our stay at SeaBatical. The beach is a very short walk and absolutely beautiful! The house is so comfortable with plenty of places to sit and relax. The view of the coastal lake behind the house was breathtaking at sunrise.
Perfect location - close to the action and the beach - but quiet and private neighborhood. Fantastic views. Best stocked kitchen EVER. Lovely decor - hit the "perfect beach cottage" note right on the nose.
Each of my family members voiced how much they liked SeaBatical. This property had everything we needed: close to the beach, amazing view, screened in porch, pool, lots of extras in the kitchen, abundance of beds. Everything was awesome!
We had such an amazing time at SeaBatical! It was a great week and we were really impressed with how much they had stocked in the kitchen! The company we went through were very kind and always available!
My mom, 2 adult daughters & son in law stayed at SeaBatical the week of Thanksgiving. The space was large, clean , & well set-up. We had everything we need as well as a beautiful setting. Perfect house & location.
Wonderful property with incredible views. The pool was very clean, with plenty of lounge chairs provided. It only took a few minutes to walk to the beach. House was very well maintained and decorated. The home itself is located in a very quiet, friendly neighborhood. It is just a short drive to shopping, numerous beaches, and state parks. We would definitely recommend staying here!
Very large space with everything you need. We had 7 ages 16+ and there was more than enough room for everyone to hang out and have privacy. Best stocked kitchen I have ever seen in a rental. Close to the beach, quiet neighborhood too
We already knew about Gulf Trace as we rented a house there previously. The neighborhood is great. Seabatical was ideal for us. We had, for part of the time, eight people staying there (all family) and everyone was very comfortable. The house has just about every convenience one could ask for, plus some. We had virtually no issues during our stay. The refrigerator made some odd noises at times, but it was not enough of a bother to contact anyone for assistance. We would not hesitate to stay in Seabatical again if we return to the area.
