Penthouse with Gulf Views Above Seaside Amphitheater & 2 Adult Bikes!

If you are someone who thrives in the center of the action, “Above The Crowd" is the vacation spot for you. This recently renovated, two-bedroom, two-and-a-half-bath, luxury penthouse unit comfortably sleeps six guests! Ideally located in the building above Seaside’s Town Center, this gem offers a stellar location, Gulf views, and much more!

Upon entry, guests will land on the main level, which offers a spacious, coastal, airy living area, featuring a flat-screen television, comfortable seating, a fully equipped kitchen, and additional bar seating for three. The feature that seals the deal for this floor is the covered outdoor balcony with Adirondack seating for four, overlooking the Seaside Amphitheater and to the right the Gulf of Mexico! Lastly, this floor features a guest hall bath for the company.

Guests can head up to find a Queen primary bedroom with gulf views and a private bathroom. This primary suite features vaulted ceilings, custom built-in storage, a vanity desk, and a custom built-in bay window area. It is the perfect spot to enjoy amazing Gulf views or overlook the town's action. In the evening, this bay window also provides privacy curtains.

Unit was clean with a good view. Location was perfect for us as we had two 18 year old granddaughters. Host was 100% attentive and when there was a minor issue with the elevator they were on it immediately.The other bedroom with a queen bed is separate and you have to walk through a small outdoor courtyard to get to it. Had we known that, we may not have chosen this unit but I will say, we're glad we didn't know as this unit was perfect for us and we would stay here again.

Only thing we did not understand was that the Second bedroom is hidden upstairs and only accessed via an outdoor courtyard. People staying there do not have any closet or bathroom and need to walk back over to access bathroom inside the main part of th unit.

Perfect spot during events.We have booked this place a couple of times now and continue to be happy with our investment. The only qualms were that the washer/dryer is a little small for 6 people and being that close to city center comes with some additional noise. Would highly recommend!

Awesome Place In A Great Location

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: I would highly recommend this rental. It is in a great location, just steps from everything: food, beach, shops - you name it! I brought a family of 4 with two teenage daughters. The only downfall we experienced is that the two bunk beds are literally located in a hallway, so there is no privacy or space for those staying in the bunk beds to store their belongings. This was a little misleading in the ad, but overall we had a great stay.

Perfect Spring Break

We absolutely loved Above the Crowd! It is in the perfect location to everything! Thankful for parking spots and being so close to the beach! The condo was beautifully decorated and felt so homey! We played their games and watched basketball in the family room. Loved having the outside deck to drink our coffee in the mornings and watch Seaside waking up! So many personal touches and we hopefully will be back! Thank you Above the Crowd!

Property was great. Everything was easy. I reports a window screen falling from third floor onto my car and leaving damage. I also reported other screens were about to fall. When I left, no repairs had been done to other screens and I guess nothing to be done regarding damage to my car. This was in the provided parking spot.

Introducing my cousin to Seaside disappointing

Rating Details: The property manager was more than helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Property presented as a two bedroom was misleading. I slept on a bunk, with my clothes outside in the bedroom. 43 gusty degrees was not an option for use of the bedroom in a separate building from the bathroom - not a luxury experience. Thermostat settings to drop 5 degrees in the night with no directions also made half the trip frigid. It's a lovely place in a great location.
