The condo was perfect for our staycation near the beach. We would visit again.

Great condo with ocean view. Very comfy and so close to beach. Pool and hot tub amazing too!
4.6
Everything was as listed. We had to wash the windows so that we had a better view of the ocean. The 1 shared washer and dryer were in a dark and dirty spot under the stairwell.
This condo had the best deck size than the other condos near us because it was on a corner and the deck wrapped around the corner.

We love Seascape! The unit is clean and the rental process is seamless. The view is beautiful and the balcony space is very nice. Although not technically a 'corner unit' - it does feel private. The unit is in one of the front buildings, located close to the main resort entrance. Ample parking available. Heads up for future guests, the gates at the closest pool were locked, so we had to access it through the lobby. Pool towels were not available on site, but may be requested from the front desk. The beach is a little bit of a walk down a path and worth the walk back up!!!! Great get-away and would rent this place again - 5 stars

It was convenient and had all amenities needed for a relaxing weekend.

My family and I stayed here for a short weekend trip to Santa Cruz. The cost for amenities was reasonable, especially for being so close to the beach. We have two younger kids and the grounds are kid friendly. Listing details are accurate. Although the condo had a few warn items and kitchenette was a bit dated, everything worked fine. This condo has the necessities needed to cook breakfast, lunch, & dinner. Beach was about a quarter mile walk from condo and the condo had two beach chairs to use at the beach. This condo is on the first level, on top of garage. If your one that worries about little ones making too much noise when walking around, no worries needed in this unit. We only heard the neighbors above us a couple of times (I think they were heavy walkers), no noise from garage, over all quiet. My husband is a light sleeper and he slept well. Plenty of bed linens, towels and pillows. We will be coming back next year.

Great location close to pool and shops
Disappointing that the resort would not take a reservation for the fire pit from a VRBO guest nor were the shuttles available

The host was truly one text away, very promt in answering. The unit was a delight except for the moldy shower curtain that was also mentioned earlier by another visitor. Great accomodation and location.

Beautiful location for a nice weekend getaway with the family.

The pictures represented this property correctly.I should have googled the Seascape resort Map and I would have found the location better on Friday night after dark, but after a little searching, we found it. My wife and I enjoyed the room, proximity to the front desk, and pools. I was happy my stepson had his own space, but was envious that his pull out bed was near the fireplace and larger TV. The kitchen was great to have especially the fridge and coffee machine

We (2 adults and 2 preschoolers) spent our New Year’s Eve weekend here and had a wonderful time. We could see the ocean from the balcony. It is near a pool/jacuzzi, Sanderlings Restaurant, and the path down to the beach. There is also a playground a short walk away. The four of us slept comfortably. We did not spend a whole of time inside. If we had to stay in, it had all the essentials we need. The check-in and check-out process was a breeze. We will book this place for retuning visits.

Seascape is beautiful resort. Unfortunately this unit was not. Filthy couch with stains, broken light fixture, and the stove did not work. I contacted the property manager and received no resolution. I even sent pictures. After the stay, we agreed to a credit. However, credit was not provided and property management stop answering my calls, texts, emails.

Wonderful resort. Great location. However, unit had ants and toilet handle broken causing toilet to ‘run’ unless the back lid taken off and chain in twisted. Dirty dishes in cupboard. Only 1 key card in lock box. Property management did not respond to my email regarding this.Unfortunately, loud neighbors and the property is very vacant at this time of year.However, the location and resort make it all worth it. Fabulous place.

Great condo with good location. We have stayed in other VRBOs at Sea Scape and sorry we did not get into the buildings in front of this condo (our fault). Caution: the washer and dryer are one level down with underground parking and while there is no charge, you will share it with the cleaning crew so they are used often. I found early morning best time to wash clothes. Otherwise, a grand place to stay. Contact person was always available and good problem solver!
