Thomas Drive Tours

This was our first stay in Crystal Cove. Someone from HOA called the front desk to tell them that we had too many guest. We had a 3bed 3 bath unit. 5 beds with and a pull out couch. We had 2 adults and 8 children, all under the age of 15. And 5 under the age of 8. The HOA also complained that the 2 kids bikes that we brought down were parked in front of another unit. They were parked beside the stairwell the first night as we arrived after dark and was not aware of a bike rack on the opposite end of out building. I had to send a picture as proof. The phone call came on or 3rd day. All of that to say, that is just annoying to deal with. So unless you want to be police by the HOA stay in a hotel on the resort and not in Crystal Cove or any of the condos.

All the staff at this property are top tier! Every staff member I encountered was super friendly and very respectful.

This house is well maintained and clean with comfortable beds and plenty of space for our family of five. There is definitely room for more people too. Each room has its own bathroom which makes getting ready for outings much easier. The house is located in the seacrest beach section of Rosemary Beach and is only a five minute walk to pool and 10 minute walk to beach. The pool lagoon area is beautiful with a cafe and bathrooms and plenty of seating for the month of August. The beach has a beautiful entrance and white sand with clear waters and chair/umbrellas to rent for the day. There is also a very good cafe steps up from beach called Crabby Steve’s high point. We walked everywhere in seacrest and proper Rosemary beach near the Pearl Hotel. We ate good meals every day. Lots of restaurants to try. This house did not have bikes included in our rental price. If this is important to you check out bike rental options before you go. Our family swam in pool and golf most of day, especially bc August weather brings so much heat and humidity to this area, and we got dressed nicely and walked to dinner in the evening and then walked to ice cream and shops before going back to house. We had quiet, quality family time.
