"We had a really enjoyable two-night stay at the Sea Crest Beach Resort.
Check-in took about 20 minutes because there was only one person working the front desk, but she was absolutely wonderful,friendly, helpful and handled the line like a pro.
Our room was on the second floor, oceanfront, and the views were amazing. The balcony was a great place to sit and take it all in. The room itself had high ceilings, was spacious, and most importantly, spotless.
Housekeeping came through each day, swept the room and replaced the towels, although they didn't make the beds. Not a big deal at all, but it would have been a nice touch.
The pools definitely get crowded, and beach chairs go FAST. There's a fair amount of the classic "put a towel on a chair and disappear for two hours" routine going on, so if you want a good spot, get down there early.
The Tavern was a pleasant surprise. The food was very good, prices were surprisingly reasonable for an oceanfront resort, and the staff couldn't have been nicer.
The crowd might have been my favorite part. 😂 Lots of families and kids and guests from literally every walk of life. You could have a CEO sitting on one side of you and a member of the Hells Angels on the other.
The best way I can describe Sea Crest: it's like the Chatham Bars Inn and an Econo Lodge crowd all decided to vacation at the same place—and somehow, it works. 😂
Heads-up: CHECK YOUR BILL. We booked through Expedia, paid the resort fee, but got charged again by resort"
