Sea Haunts 1A | Gulf-Front Townhome in Blue Mountain Beach
Wake up to panoramic Gulf views and step directly onto the sugar-white sand from Sea Haunts 1A, a beautifully updated Gulf-front townhome located in a quiet stretch of Blue Mountain Beach along Scenic 30A. With four bedrooms, three bathrooms, and multiple outdoor spaces overlooking the water, this beachfront retreat offers the perfect setting for a relaxing coastal getaway.

Guests can enjoy direct beach access just steps away, along with access to a community pool.

This location was amazing!!! The house set up again amazing! This isn’t a dig but the house is a little outdated. It could use a few things to fix it up. I would have liked to see a few more amenities like dish towels,pot holders, pizza cutter. There was only one role of toilet paper in each bathroom for our family of 9 and one roll of paper towels. Would have been nice for an extra trash bag and an extra roll of TP. Again not a big things just a few little. Overall this place was very good!! I would recommend
Property is in great location. It could use a little cosmetic work. Everything you needed for a great vacation was at your fingertips! Would highly recommend!

Sea Hunts was a wonderful property four our large family vacation. It housed our large group very comfortably. You can’t beat the location! It has great beach front access, plus it’s located close to Destin, Santa Rosa, and Seaside. We would absolutely stay here again, and have recommended it to all our friends.

The location of this home is perfect for the beach and pool, and makes the used condition worth it. The management company is the best I’ve ever experienced. If we had an issue they responded immediately and took care of it as fast as possible.
The stay was lovely, the only complaint I do have is that there was not a broom or dust pan or anything to help us keep the sand at a minimum. It’s the beach, there will be sand, obviously. But not having a broom to keep after it seems a little odd to me. The property management company was not super helpful when I reached out asking if maybe it accidentally got locked into a cleaning closet. Aside from that, it was as advertised just well lived in and loved. Which is okay by me. Area is great, pool was great, beach was great. Overall a wonderful experience. I’d come back, just with my own broom and dust pan! Enjoy your stays here. Very safe with kiddos.

Check-in was easy. The location and property was great! We enjoyed our stay and there was plenty of room for our family. The only negative was that when we arrived, there was sand in all the bedsheets. I'm not sure if the sheets were changed, or if there is a problem with the washer/dryer and it isn't getting the sheets clean all the way. We had to wash all the linens. I would evaluate the cleaning crew/company you are using. Also, the ceiling fan on the 1st floor needs to be cleaned. The bathrooms were all great and it has a great kitchen! We enjoyed our stay.

Location was great, but unit needs work. Pots and pans were in very poor condition with some rusted. Wood on deck by shower was warped causing possible injury. Bottom level had roaches as well. Upon arrival we had no key fob for the pool area. Benchmark kept saying they were bringing us replacements, but never delivered our whole stay.

Want to wake up and walk right out to the water? Stay here. The condo was immaculate and all rooms were the same as advertised. Bathrooms are located on each level which was really convenient and we were never short on hot water for showers. Overall, this is a really great place to stay. We did encounter a few things that were inconvenient but not impossible. For example, the exit gate from the property did not open without someone exiting the vehicle/walking outside, and entering the code from the outside. We had several people arriving at different times. The day before the arrival we called to ask about an early check-in. Mgt offered a substantial fee to do so. Sort of surprised we weren't offered an hour or two as a courtesy, but that was also just an inconvenience.This is a great property for a vacation! In fact, someone stopped me on the beach to ask about rental because they thought it was much better than what they were renting down the beach.
Perfect family beach trip.Unit was well-equipped and close to the beach and pool.Pros: location, property management communication, views, space, and water pressure in the showersOpportunities: back patio door was a bit tricky to keep closed We plan to book this unit again
We searched for weeks until we all agreed that this place met our expectations. Conveniently located so near the beach. Beautiful views. Safe surroundings. Beds comfortable
Overall this is a wonderful property. Our family very much enjoyed it. My only feedback is that the bottom floor patio and exit to the beach was messy and had several broken items scattered around.

Everything was Great but the gas grill was rushed out
The host was accessible throughout stay. Condo was very close to the beach and had a wonderful view. The condo was somewhat outdated and needs updating and painting. The hot water heater was not large enough and we ran out each night with cold showers. The kitchen needs potholders and more forks and a Pyrex baking dish.
We loved the access to the beach and pool was amazing. Loved the ocean view
Loved the access to beach and great pool. Only wish the outdoor furniture was better quality and more comfortable because sitting on balconies was very important to our family. It needs to be upgraded and replaced. Comfortable beds and kitchen was well equipped. Definitely would consider staying here again.
