About this house rental
This updated and well-cared for Victorian home with its captivating ocean views, sits high on two private acres at the end of a secluded lane. The handsome wrap-around porch provides a relaxing spot to enjoy mature manicured gardens, the iconic twin lighthouse towers on Thacher Island, scenic Loblolly Cove and the ocean beyond.
The eat in spacious kitchen is the perfect gathering area where the designated cook(s) can prepare delicious meals and never lose sight of the ocean. A spacious living room adjoins the large dining room with its generous table and seating for 10. Upstairs, you will find plenty of bedrooms for all the family.
After a day at the beach, you can enjoy our new outdoor shower to clean off the sand. The spacious backyard allows plenty of room for lawn games, outdoor family activities and fun. Walk down to Loblolly Cove where you can put in your kayak or stand up paddle board or swim at two sandy beaches just a half mile away. The village of Rockport is just 1 1/2 miles away with its art galleries, antique stores, gift shops, restaurants, a movie theater and the famed Shalin Liu performing arts center. Other enticing attractions include the many granite quarries, Halibut Point State Park, footpaths leading to the ocean and the beautiful rocky coastline.
ALSO AVAILABLE AS A WINTER RENTAL. The winter rental excludes the third floor and so the home has five bedrooms rather than seven. Two bedrooms available in the winter have queen size beds, two bedrooms have full size beds, and the last bedroom has two twin beds.

I do hope that the owner of this beautiful Victorian home reads this review. The positives: The washer/dryer was a fabulous surprise that was not clear in the listing. Lovely location for this private home down a dirt road, the porch absolutely makes the home and we spent the majority of our time there. The ever changing view and sunrises over Thatcher Island are incredible. The cafe lights and the hammock on the porch are lovely. Another positive for a big group is the multiple bedrooms, three toilets, two showers and ample room in the house. What I found disappointing is that the guest experience in this home can be greatly improved by the owners for probably $500. The screen In the screen door to the kitchen from the porch needs to be replaced. It is fully ripped and flows in the breeze despite someone’s attempt to use masking tape to fix it. The “doormat” at this door is a filthy bath mat???The kitchen, dining and living room areas are very dark. There were three lightbulbs in the kitchen completely out with no replacements around that we could find. The light fixture over the kitchen table has three working lightbulbs of extremely low wattage, they should be replaced and two more lamps in the living/dining area would make a world of difference. We bought knives because we could not cut through cooked chicken for dinner one night with the knives in the kitchen. Lastly, the toilet seat in the downstairs bathroom needs to be replaced. It is worn and discolored. This is a lovely house, just needs some TLC.

Our family loved staying here, enjoyed spending time on the porch with the beautiful view. The pics on the website do not do it justice and bedrooms are equipped with many more doubles. We were there during hot weather and only complaint we would have is the lack of air conditioning on the 3rd floor. Beautiful view on the 3rd floor and great bed space, just too warm

Reviewer Comments:
Overall our family, especially our kids, had a good time at Seacroft. Our little kids loved exploring its various nooks and crannies as well as the abundant outdoor space. Location is good too with an easy walk down to Loblolly Cove and even Pebble Beach. Our biggest gripe was that the property and its contents are dated. The beds were comfortable but mattresses could use some flipping.

We stayed for one week. There were 13 of us. There was plenty of room, the kitchen was adequately equipped, the view was spectacular, and we had some lovely evenings on the porch. When we called AVH with questions they were answered promptly. This place is a jewel, and we'd recommend it without hesitation.

We really enjoyed Seacroft. The children thought that the house was magical - straight out of a story book. The house is old and quirky but has a great deal of character. A great view from the veranda over Thatcher Island. Also plenty of outdoor space for the kids to play.
