Beachwood Villas

**Beach Runner** · 08-03-2006, 08:15 PM

A friend just called me and asked if a particular unit on VRBO at Beachwood Villas in Seagrove is okay for her daughter, a senior at Georgia Tech and classmate of my daughter since pre-kindergarten.

I am not familiar with Beachwood Villas - I mean, I've passed by it a million times, but have never seen any of the units there. Any opinions or recommendations for this property or something that is similarly priced for August 24-28?

Typically, the units are somewhat dated, but very functional and are in a great location, directly across street from beach access, and plenty to do in walking distance. I recommend Beachwood Villas. If the girl needs to keep up with the Jones, rent a room at the WaterColor Inn at $350+ per night.

We own a unit there. We renovated when we bought in '03. Not bad. Our rentals have been pretty steady and the grounds are kept up nicely. We've been booked the entire summer and have returning snowbirds in Dec.

As SJ said loads of stuff is in walking distance.

We stayed there last summer and it was great. The unit had just been updated and was very chic! I'm sure it just depends on the owner. The only negative we experienced were some very drunk people by the pool using really bad language. We just got up and went to the other pool which right around the corner. We had the new pool all to ourselves so it worked out for the best.

Beachwood Villas is a great location. We stayed in VRBO #49542 last year, it had just been renovated. We will probably stay there again this year. Good price if your on a budget. It overlooked the pool, a nice courtyard and with a very small view of the Gulf. We were there in May so it was quite. Wherever she stays on 30-A will be great. By the way is this unit anyones on the board. Just curious?

Thanks for the link, Kurt. I emailed it to her mom. Her daughter decided to rent a unit there.

I know where this is now -- it's right by the shopping center where Bruno's is.

Just saw this post ladybug. That is one of my daughters units, glad you enjoyed. I think it is nice & comfortable.

It was very nice and homey. Was going to rent there again, but according to her calendar Sept. was filled so went with another condo. Oh well maybe next year.

Sorry it was rented, she got a 2mo. rental. She really does keep it booked and that is hard in today's market.

At the GT game yesterday I saw my friend, along with her daughter who rented at Beachwood. She said that it was nice, they had a great time, and they'd stay there again.

She keeps it at such a great price, esp. during the off seasons. I always promote her place when I have people ask where we stayed when we were there. It's a the perfect location and price.
