Welcome home to Sea-esta, a cozy and beachy 2nd-floor condo unit with easy beach access via a boardwalk with no roads to cross, a location near the fun of Perdido Key and the Gulf Island National Seashore, a private balcony, and amenities to make you feel at home. When you're not soaking up the sun on Florida's sandy beaches, you'll be sipping your coffee from the private balcony overlooking the pool and beach path, cooling off in front of the flatscreen TVs, and catching a nap in the master suite - complete with a king-size bed, flatscreen TV, and comforting colors.

Sea-esta boasts its share of great features: Wi-Fi, a well-stocked kitchen for fresh-caught-fish meals, built-in bunks, a washer/dryer, a big screen smart TV with DVD player, and a spot just 30 yards from the sand. But its location in the East Grand Caribbean Resort also means access to a community hot tub, heated (seasonally) pool, freshwater pond, and BBQ and picnic areas!

Living Room

Sea-esta's comfortable living room is a cool space when you need a break from the sun. Kick back on the sofa, flip on the new flatscreen smart TV with cable channels and a DVD player, surf the web via the Wi-Fi, and stay cool with the new AC unit.

Kitchen

This bright, fresh space comes well-equipped, allowing you to whip up an easy lunch after some time at the pool, a nice shrimp dinner when you want to stay in, or a big breakfast before a busy day of go-karts, mini-golf, and shopping. Brew some coffee for your morning jolt, and then head to your private balcony for a hot drink and cool breeze to start the day.

Dining Area

Ordering pizza in or making an elaborate seafood dinner, the 4-person dining table (plus 2 stools at the breakfast bar) makes meals at the beach house easy. Enjoy family meals, lots of natural light through the French doors leading to the private balcony, and games on those rainy beach days.

Bedroom | Sleeping Spaces

The master suite is your retreat at the end of the day, with a king-size bed and flatscreen TV. The built-in bunk beds in the hallways are always a favorite with the kids!

Private Balcony

Not one to get your feet in the sand, but still love the beach? Spend your days sipping cold drinks on your private balcony that overlooks the pool, hot tub, and beach path. Get a touch of sun - and some shade - as you sit back and relax.

East Grand Caribbean Resort

Relaxation and fun await at Grand Caribbean. Splash at the resort pool, unwind in the hot tub, toss burgers on a charcoal grill, dine at a picnic table, or walk to the beach — with direct access and no roads to cross! Build sandcastles and sand angels, lay out a towel to soak up the sun, or swim in the sea. If anything, taking a leisurely walk with the lapping waves crashing into the sugar-white sand is worth the 2-minute walk from your condo to this pristine beach in Perdido Key!

The resort even has outdoor showers to rinse off before heading back to the pool or your Florida condo rental. There's also a community pond with a table beneath a gazebo over the water and lily pads. It's a great spot for family photos or a romantic setting for a loving chat. There are so many extras to enjoy here! Plus, your condo rental in Florida is right across from a convenient elevator, making suitcases, groceries, and the kids easier to manage between the parking lot and your vacation home.

Snowbird Friendly

Snowbirds welcome November – February at exclusive monthly rates with no additional cleaning fees! Fall and winter are the perfect seasons to swap winter chills and snowstorms for warm, sunny days on the Gulf Coast. Please feel free to reach out for more details or assistance anytime.

Hectic rental
We rented this property at the beginning of May for a last minute beach getaway with our kids they waited until the day after arrival to ask for verification of id and card which was my husbands so it was craziness getting that straightened out. When we got to the property I noticed we had no parking passes when I called they stated the owner did not have the new ones but we shouldn’t get towed away because they never have. There were signs all over the property stating you needed a parking tag, although we thankfully did not get towed I stressed all weekend that I would walk out and not find our vehicle. When staying at the beach normally people stay out in the sun and it is not a cool climate well there was a sign on the thermostat stating we could not place it below 70 because it would freeze up ( we tried you it would not go below 70) so we barely slept due to the rental being so hot. There were no extra trash bags only the one provided in the can and there is mold in the bathroom shower and on the shower head. We enjoyed how close it was to the beach but we will definitely not be returning to this property.

Choose a different place! WASTE OF MONEY.
I never leave negative comments, but this was insane. We wait all year looking forward to our vacation, our time away from crazy life, looking forward to relaxation, but this was so stressful. Main negative is the dryer was completely broken (biggest reason we chose this condo as we utilize the washer/dryer a lot). I called on day 2 of 7, they apologized, said owner KNEW of dryer issue and would just order a replacement and "hopefully" get it to us soon. NEVER arrived our whole stay. They offered a $50 Visa card and an address to a laundromat 22 min away. Just what you want to do on vacation - drive 22 min, spend an hour+ there, then 22 min back. Other issues: top bunkbed has no railing. My son almost fell out one night. Patio table legs are broken. Back window at bottom broken with clear tape over it (saw on an Aug 2022 review someone mentioned the window, so it hasn't been fixed since then). Backdoor is hard to shut, needs fixed. Dishwasher needs screwed in as it moves outward when you use it. Carpet looks super old in the bedroom, window in bedroom is right by a bright light at the stairwell so it looks like daylight all night long, you need darkening curtains. You gave us the wrong code to get back into the gate from the beach. Thankfully another tenant was walking in & gave us the correct code. Only positives: condo was decently clean, nicely maintained pool & hot tub, very short walk to the beach, nice parking lot close to the building. We'll never stay here again tho!

Almost perfect, but has a few issues.
Initially upon arrival we unpacked and went to get some groceries. The fridge takes around 24 hours to cool down. We had to go get ice to keep our groceries cold overnight but by the next morning it was cold so that’s wasn’t an issue the remaining time we were there. We washed some towels and the dryer ran for about 5 minutes and then stopped. The internet worked for the first 2 or 3 days of our stay and then it said it wasn’t connected and wouldn’t connect again. The condo itself is pretty noisy. We heard a lot from other condos next to and above us. But other than that, the location was great. We spent most of our time at the beach anyway so overall, it’s a great place to stay and not far from the beach and other attractions.

This property has RATS!
We literally watched from our balcony the rats run around the pool deck every single morning. They dryer is broken so we couldn't do laundry over our entire 6 night stay. The TV's didn't work. The internet only worked sometimes. The dishwasher would fall forward out of its space everytime we opened it. The master bed had to be at least 10 years old. The bunk beds were very uncomfortable. I messaged and called the management office multiple times w zero response. Horrible experience.

Nice - has potential but needs a few updates
The condo was decorated nicely and has potential but needs a few tweaks to make a more enjoyable stay. The check-in instructions stated check-in starts at 3p but guaranteed by 6pm which is confusing.....luckily we arrived after 6p because we didn't have any notice when the unit was actually ready. It appears there were some shortcuts when updating the unit- workmanship was a bit rough in places but overall on the surface it was nice & decor was light and beachy. I didn't see other reviews that noted the light issue in bedroom (due to location by elevator light)- it was VERY BRIGHT in the bedroom all night long despite the curtain covering. The room definitely needs blackout shades/curtains & I'm not sure why the owner hasn't corrected this after multiple comments from guests. It made it very difficult to get a good nights sleep. In addition the bed was VERY SOFT and seemed to sink in the middle- the softness in part was due to a very thick foam topper- would suggest just replacing with a better mattress and ditching the foam topper. We only stayed 2 nights so tolerated short term but any longer would have been tough. There was also construction noise near the unit very early in am- which added to the sleep issues. We didn't utilize the bunk beds but same issue with light/privacy noted here as well....there were no blinds on the 2 outer windows facing pool (although pictures of the unit listing show blinds- not sure if the broken window with clear tape on left has something to do with missing blinds)- this would have made it very difficult to sleep in the bunks as the bright lights from the pool/greenspace shined through the space all night. Since the unit overlooks the pool, there is no privacy in the living room without the blinds. We had a difficult time with the TV in the bedroom- no instructions on how to use and it wasn't very intuitive - this would be an easy fix to have a laminated instruction sheet to accompany the remotes. The unit served the purpose for a short stay between locations but I'm not sure we would return unless the bedroom items were resolved.

Nice property but has issues
Checked in and had a total of two towels, no wash cloths or hand towels so had to call them right off. Also noticed a broken window which was reported so I wouldn't be charged for it. NOTE: There are no blinds on the side lights going to the patio which leaves you exposed to the pool all hours of the day. The bedroom is located right where a light shines into the room - shade should be much heavier; we could walk around like daylight. PARKING PASSES - given the issues we had when we unpacked, we forgot completely about the parking passes and never used one for our stay - no ticket or anything. Immediately after checkout we start getting emails & texts that the passes were missing. I let them know we never saw one or used one however the maid is claiming she left them (same maid who couldn't leave enough towels or any wash clothes). I'm now getting charged $25 for something I never had nor saw. BEWARE of this type of scam.

Beautiful condo, Poor management by CFY
First off, this condo was beautifully decorated and fairly clean. The top comforter on the bed did not appear to have been laundered, but I washed in myself in unit's washer and dryer. We could have used more than one trash bag and one roll of toilet paper, and one roll of paper towels for the entire week, but we bought our own. The proximity to the beach was great, a very short walk from room to sand, especially with children. No where to really store the beach wagon and toys though. The pool was a good size, but could have been cleaner. One of the building staff workers was rude daily during his maintenance, constantly getting onto children for the splashing/jumping/having a pool float, etc. (being normal kids at a pool.) The biggest issue we encountered was communication with the CFY management, and their lack of intervention with the constant stomping above us, all hours of the night- regardless of their policies clearly posted in the elevators. It made it very difficult to get any rest/relaxation, and their response was that "they don't manage that" and we could call the police if needed. We never received any information about when the room was available, or check out procedures. We also read in multiple places we had to have a parking tag in our car-no tag was provided. When we called, we were told "oh you don't actually have to have one" then when adamant "it should be on the refrigerator" then when it wasn't "we'll send someone out with a tag" but no one ever came. Just glad we weren't towed. Also, the refrigerator didn't work upon arrival. After lack of any timely assistance and our groceries getting warm, my husband unplugged it to allow it to defrost and that managed to get it working again. Overall, the location made up for some of the issues we had, but I can't say that I'd stay there again. Which is a shame, because it was beautiful and had a great location near the beach.

We enjoyed our time at this condo. It was exactly the size we needed. The window from the walkway to the master bedroom allows a LOT of light in at night from the lights outside. Blinds might help with this problem. Other than that, we enjoyed the stay.

Pleased with check-in process/communication. Unit next to elevator and above pool so some unanticipated noise & light as bedroom was next to elevator. The big issues were (1) lack of privacy due to no window coverings on pool side which allowed people to see in unit (2) bed was WAY TOO SOFT but improved once I removed foam pad (3) had been remodeled but was poor quality (e.g. baseboard/shoe molding white paint on floor and large gap under sink counter) (4) window was broken (left side leading to balcony) (5) never could get either TV to work properly - need to provide instructions not manufacturer owner manual.

It was lovely, we had a great time. The struggles were with the bed, it was very, very uncomfortable. There was a light directly outside the bedroom window that also made it impossible to sleep. The TV didn't work and even after 2 calls to the number listed we didn't get any help. She said the staff would come the next day to fix it, nobody ever showed up.

Didn’t want to leave
Aside from the kitchen sink not being installed, it was taken care of the next day. We just got water from the bathroom sink to make coffee. The fridge honks like a goose, however. I think it needs to be buried in the backyard. It worked but it was noisy. I would recommend an extra shade in the bedroom. There is a curtain but it doesn’t keep much light out with the outside light literally above the bedroom window. All night long, the bedroom remains lit from it. I loved our location above the pool. We could still hear the ocean even though we couldn’t see it. The pool heaters were broken which was disappointing. One of the other guests who had been staying there for over a month said they had been broken for at least that long. This was our second trip to Perdido and it has become our favorite location. I enjoyed this condo more than the first one we stayed at a few years back. The decor was coastal and relaxing. It was very difficult to say goodbye on our last day. We will definitely want to stay at this location again! 👍🏼 Thanks for a great stay!

The condo is perfect for a small group. Well decorated and supplied. The beach is a short walk and the pool area was lovely. Suggestions for the owner include room darkening curtains or shades in master. There are 2 VERY bright lights right outside the window. Also, they need to monitor their VRBO messages more closely. The AC was not working and it took several hours for a response and then they sent the request to someone else. It did finally get fixed and we didn't have any further problems!
