We had a great stay at the Sea Crest Villas September 23-26 2010. The property was located right on the beach with 2 pools, hot tub, restaurant & beach bar. We were across the street from Coligny Plaza- shopping, food, movie theater- perfect location! Beach Properties did a wonderful job organizing our stay, including providing us with bike rentals. We will definitely plan another stay here, only next time it will be longer!

We have just returned from our 2nd stay at Seacrest, covering last summer and this one.
The location across from Coligny is outstanding, and it was nice to just walk over to grab our nightly frozen yoghurts or ice cream. Music, shopping and food are all available.

Our unit (same one both years) was clean, well appointed, good view of the beach, and comfy. Our bedroom did pick up a bit of noise from Coligny at night, however.

There are two pools on the property. One could use a bit of a plaster upgrade but it wasn't bad. My daughter really loves the swinging benches out by the pool. Water was mostly clean and there were always enough lounges. Good french fries at the Aqua shack poolside.

Parkling underground was easy and there are places to park rental bikes.
One thing of note: check out time is 10:00 a.m. on Saturdays. That means 10, not 10:05! Cleaning crew was right there at our door as we were leaving.

We rented through Vacation Company. They even came to our door on check-in day to make sure we had what we needed.

All in all, we really like Seacrest and if we return to HHI, I expect to stay there again.

Stayed in a 3br condo for a week, share the place with my brother in law and his family. The place was comfortable for the seven of us. When we checked in the place was clean, however the main DVD was not functioning and I did notice wallpaper pealing, bathroom lights not 100% and other minor cosmetic stuff. On a positive side the beach access was great, shopping convenience, parking was tight but no problem and the pool access was good. In general, the overall complex needs a bit of an overhaul. Also, we were annoyed at times with people smoking outside the elevators or in the stairwells which real ticked me off, but I can't blame the complex (other than put up some no smoking signs).

I think I would rent again, but I would else search for a more upscale experience for the money

We stayed here for a week in June 2010 in Unit 3205 through Resort Rentals of Hilton Head Island. The unit is direct oceanfront with 3 BR and 3 Full Baths. The spaciousness of the bedrooms, bathrooms, and closets inside the unit is incredible. The kitchen and living areas are also decent sized. The view of the ocean could not be beat. Had a problem with the air conditioning in the unit when we arrived, but the situation was very quickly addressed by RR of HHI and the on - site maintenance staff.

Resort Rentals of Hilton Head Island (property manager) were very easy and pleasant to work with throughout the process. Will be renting from them again in the future.

The SeaCrest complex itself is located due east of Coligny Plaza directly on the beach. With 3 kids under the age of 10 y/o, the convenience of being able to walk back and forth from SeaCrest to the plaza for dinner, morning coffee, evening ice cream, and groceries could not be beat. The onsite pool bar / grill, although expensive, served good food and drinks, and was always open late into the evening.

Being constructed around 1999, the SeaCrest complex is showing its age a bit; in need of an interior paint job, some a/c inside the elevators, some better interior lighting, and just in need of a general 'update'. As another reviewer indicated, it is kind of wierd having to access the pools and beach via the underground parking area, but at no time did this feel unsafe. At no time did we hear any noise from the adjacent rooms or exterior hallways.

The only other issue we personally had with the property is that the pools do not open until 10 AM in the morning and on most mornings, one (1) of the pools was never open before 11 AM. I do not understand this for the life of me.

We liked the unit, setting, and location of SeaCrest so much that we are already planning our return trip for 2011.
