This was our first time staying in the area for a family vacation and it was amazing!! the area was ideal, the water was a dream, and the property was fantastic! The rooms were very clean, and the views were amazing. I would recommend this to anyone going to the area. While we only had 5 people there was plenty of room for 10-12 people with ease. The beach set up was a great touch and the pool was a relaxing touch after a long day. 10 out of 10

The Vacation We Needed!!

We've stayed in several different properties over the past 10 years we've been vacationing in Seacrest, Florida. This property was one of the best. It was very clean and well equipped. It had everything we needed to cook, hang out, and go to the beach with. But the 2 best things about this property was the view from the penthouse patio and the private beach access. The beach was not crowded at all as in other popular places at Seacrest beach and it was easily accessed. We also loved the gated parking lot which limited traffic to the property. I would definitely rate this property 5-star and look forward to staying here again in the future.

Beach Trip in September

The condo was very nice. A few things could be updated, but overall it was very nice. The beds were very comfortable and the condo was tastefully decorated. The balcony was very, very nice and spacious with a beautiful view!! We saw dolphins every day. The beach is beautiful with white sand and very clear water. The weather cooperated for only three days of our stay, but there is plenty of shopping on 30A. The property manager was awesome!! We had an issue with the internet and she responded immediately. She was very attentive to our needs.

30A at It's Best

This gulf front (4th floor) condo has incredible views of the gulf and beach. Flocks of pelicans flying by the balcony so close you could almost touch them was an unexpected bonus. Once at the beach, we found the beach chairs and umbrellas spaced nicely and never two or three deep like we've seen at other locations along 30A. Our group was made up of adults and children that represent 3rd, 4th and 5th generations of 30A vacations. Monterey is ranked at the top of a long list of gulf front properties where we've stayed. The bonus room is really a nice feature for children.

Beautiful beach front views but needs to be cleaned!

Of course, this is a great location! But, the unit needs a deep cleaning. Everywhere you look you can find dirt. The place just needs to be scrubbed down. Supposedly clean bath towels in the unit had clumps of hair stuck in them from the dryer. It doesn't have to be showroom quality but at the price point, we expect a cleaner place.

Perfect Getaway Vacation

We have stayed in many vrbo units but A401 rates a solid TEN! The balcony views were spectacular providing sunrise to sunset views while lounging on our very private deck. The condo is spacious and was furnished with high quality furniture and decor making our stay very comfortable including a nicely heated swimming pool. The fireplace was a welcomed feature put to use during a couple of chilly nights. We never heard any other guests or noise from the other units. The Gulf of Mexico spans your entire view with breathtaking scenes throughout the day and evening. The beach was extremely quiet with sand the consistency of flour. You can walk or run for miles in either direction. Each day Jake had our cabana and chairs set up for our private use which capped off the most amazing week at the Monterey!

Great location, great layout, but...

The Good: unit has a great layout with 3 beds and ensuite baths. There is also an extra bunk set in a hallway closet and another closet with full washer and dryer. The location is fantastic with the beautiful beach directly below the unit. There is also an attendant on the beach who sets up chairs and umbrella every morning for you. Perfect. The furniture is in good shape and the living room entertainment center and content apps were fine. The Bad: the unit is showing some wear. A partial list of problems begins with the door to the balcony which WILL NOT CLOSE. The frame is off from salt air corrosion and the track arm mounted above the door has rotted through its link. EXTREMELY UNSAFE FOR SMALL KIDS. Fortunately our kids are teens so it was mostly just a nuisance as it would blow open every time the front door was opened. The stove top does not fit the hole cut out in the counter so if you are 5'8" or taller you will see down into the greasy slot behind it (and wonder what could crawl up from there). The TV/entertainment console in the 3rd bedroom does not work. It simply would not power on. Paint and plaster in several areas, notably 3rd bath shower area, is peeling and flaking. The faucets in this bath are hard to shut off, drip drip drip. The toaster handle falls off every time you use it. Just wanted to leave this note here since the property manager was in a hurry when we encountered them. Hope it helps.

Amazing Property in Amazing Location

We have stayed at many condos in the 30A area. We absolutely loved this condo and the location. We were about a mile from Seacrest and Rosemary, which made our bike rides to town easy and fun. The beach is steps from the condo and it is not crowded at all. Jake's Rental Service is right at the steps of the beach and he is a great guy. He rents the umbrellas and chairs, paddle boards and a catamaran. He doesn't take down the chairs and umbrellas until 6pm (much later than most places), and even then if he saw you wanted to stay longer, he would let you. There is a sandbar just a little ways out, which makes this spot on 30A super fun. The condo was beautifully appointed and had a very serene beach feel. Our twins absolutely loved the bunk bed room! The patio was probably our favorite part of the condo with the comfortable couch and chairs. We loved enjoying our coffee in the mornings and having appetizers in the evenings on it. The view doesn't get much better. One very nice aspect of this patio is that it was protected from direct sunlight, which made it lovely to sit out on at all times in the day. We have stayed several places where you couldn't use the patio at certain times of day because it was too hot with the direct sunlight. Overall, it is obvious that the owners of this condo care for it and want the renters to enjoy their stay. They even had a bottle of wine and loaf of delicious raisin bread awaiting us when we checked in! Norma, the owner of 30A Coast Vacation Rentals, was fabulous to work with and highly attentive to all our needs and requests. It was refreshing to work with a smaller company and more personal rental agent. Overall, an A+ for this property. It was a MUCH needed wonderful getaway after being in quarantine for so long.
