The pool
We walked the town and the beach, but we really enjoyed the pool and hot tub. Someone was either in it beside it reading in it soaking in it or laying beside it!Everyone said best pool, liked the town but loved the pool

Beach weekend
Gorgeous house and backyard. It has beautiful views of the bay and the house itself was very clean. The room situation wasn’t ideal as we had mostly couples staying here…there’s a random bed day in the hallway and I think they stretch the idea of how many people can actually stay there. We brought an air mattress just in case and I’m glad we did but other than that’s everything was great. We definitely would come back!

We absolutely loved the Sea Zoo so big and spacious ! The view was breathtaking! Sunrise over the bay and sunset at the beach! We loved the walking distance to the beach and shops. The pool and hot tub were refreshing. The only negative was that the elevator was not working but we all agreed we didn’t mind getting in the extra steps. all agreed we didn’t

Perfect for a family vacation...
The Sea Zoo was perfect for our family vacation. The property is in a great location - a quick walk to the beach and local restaurants. It's well equipped with a pool, Tiki bar, games, kitchen essentials and sea animal themed decor. All planning and communication went smoothly. Would highly recommend.

Wonderful vacation spot!
This house was perfect for us because we were able to boat and go to the beach and the location is this house made it so easy! There is a dock to tie up to and the beach is a block away. There are tons of restaurants and shops to walk/ bike to. The outdoor area was perfect for traveling with teenagers. We can’t wait to go back! Tips: they don’t stock much for kitchen so you will need salt, pepper, sugar and cooking oil/ spray. Also it’s a coffee pot so we took our keurig. It could use some updated bedding (we took our pillows and were very happy we did) but the layout of the house was nice with beautiful views of the water.

Beautiful home and family vacation.
The Sea Zoo was amazing. Such an awesome location between the two bodies of water. One day we walked to the beach, another day we rented a boat and docked at pier. Everyday you found us on the pool several times. Night time shops and restaurants near by. Hot tub at night. The landscape on this property is well maintained, loved the tiki bar by the pool. We will stay there again.
