MAIN ENTRANCE GATE CODE: Private code provided in your arrival text message  - Gate is heavy and takes a second to start opening.  If you see a green light when you enter the code, it's working.  Each unit is allotted no more than two vehicles. Please display parking passes provided in the unit; cars parked on property without displaying parking passes are at risk of being towed.  The two parking space limit is strictly enforced, no exceptions can be made for trailers or additional cars.  Please make your own prior arrangements for any overflow parking.

 

CONDO DOOR CODE: We set your private 4-digit code to the last 4 digits of the phone number given with the reservation, so it’s easy to remember during your stay.  The keypad is a black touch screen.  Enter your 4-digit code to unlock the door.  The door will not lock automatically, to lock the door from the inside, turn the deadbolt.  To lock the door when leaving the condo, touch the word “Schlage” and you will hear the lock engage.

• The unit has an automated door code system that is activated at check in time 4pm(CT) on arrival date and ceases operations at 10 am(CT) of departure date. Arrival & departure times are critical to successfully clean and turn around our home for you and the next guests. Please plan accordingly.  **Note that door codes will be set upon receipt of copies of guest's drivers licenses and make/models of the two vehicles that will be parked on the premises.

VILLAS OF SEAGROVE PEDESTRIAN GATE CODE: Code provided in your arrival text message Gates located near car gate & Perfect Pig

PRIVATE  BEACH GATE ACCESS:  Private Beach Key Fob required for beach access – What sets our home apart from others on 30a is our private, gated beach access.  You will find 2 Beach Key Fobs in our home for use during your stay. 

 

• Which way is the beach?  Walk towards pool, go right at the pool and follow sidewalk thru the gate, cross 30A at cross walk in front of The Perfect Pig. Once across the street, walk 10 feet to your right past telephone pole to Majestic Beach access gate on your left (gate with fish carvings). The gate is heavy, you may think the Key Fob isn’t working. Please note, you also have to have the Key Fob to exit the gate.  Beach Key Fob must remain in our home upon checkout. Loss of Fob or failure to leave upon check out will result in a $75 charge per Key Fob.

 

EARLY ARRIVAL:  While we request that you respect both arrival and departure times to help facilitate proper cleaning and turn around, don’t let it get in the way of good weather! Access to parking & pool facilities is available on your date of arrival or departure at any time – you just can’t use your key code to get into the condo until check in time or after check out.  Feel free to arrive early, lunch in the area, (The Perfect Pig is right next door & The Greenway Station is around the corner), and enjoy an extra day shopping or at the pool!  Our pool area has bathrooms for changing into your suits.  

UNLOADING AND LOADING:   Our condo is in the B building (middle building) on the 4th floor, unit B402.  There is a large elevator that drops you off right next to the door for easy loading and unloading.  Please do not hold elevator door open, it will cause the elevator to stop working.

BIKES:  Bike racks are provided on the east side of the parking lot by the grill.  Guests must park all bikes in those racks.  No bikes or beach items can be stored in the ground floor lobby area as this is a Fire Code Violation.  All items left in ground floor lobby will be removed.  

GOLF CARTS: The Villas at Seagrove Beach has banned electric powered golf carts for all guests. Gas powered carts are welcome, BUT will count as one of your TWO vehicles parked on property.  Golf carts should be parked on the back row of the parking lot as a courtesy to other guests.  Need overflow parking?  There is a spillover yard to our west one street before the Tom Thumb gas station, it’s called Seagrove Bargain Storage, you can contact Chip @ 850-231-4448.

LAUNDRY:  Our full size washer and dryer are standard type units are easy to use and operate.  The washer is an ‘he’ (High Efficiency) model; you will notice the water level per load is considerably lower than what you may be accustomed to, that is normal.  Bulky items may need to be rearranged during spin cycle.  For best results, you will need to use an HE-specific laundry detergent.  Guests are responsible for detergents.  We also have an iron & ironing board for your use.

BEACH CHAIRS/UMBRELLA: In the hall closet there are 5-6 beach chairs for your use.  After returning from the beach we rinse them off at the hose by the pool and store them outside the condo door, ready for the next day.  We try to keep anything sandy outside by front door, making sure not to block the elevator or stairs.  At the end of your stay, please make sure the beach chairs are rinsed and dry before placing them back into hall closet.  Please note that starting in 2024, our beach does not allow tents.

BEACH CHAIR RENTAL: Our beach offers lounge chair/umbrella service. You can reserve chairs by the day or by the week. You get 2 lounge chairs and 1 umbrella per set up.  Contact La Dolce Vita reservations department at (866) 651-1869 or book online at www.ldvbeach.com choosing Majestica/Seaview under the 30a destinations.  

• Additional rental equipment, such as Bicycles, Kayaks & Paddle Boards are available daily or weekly and ordered through La Dolce Vita.  Tell them you are at the Villas at Seagrove Beach & will be at the Majestica/Seaview beach access.  *Whether you rent chairs or use ours, during peak season, the early birds get the best spots!*

BEACH TOWELS: You will find 4-6 beach towels provided in the laundry room so you won’t have to pack those bulky things.  If you need more, please plan accordingly.  We do ask that you don’t bring our condo bath towels to the beach or pool.  Please wash, fully dry and replace beach towels so the cleaning service doesn't remove them with the other linens. 

BATH LINENS: All bathrooms have plenty of towels and washcloths for your use.  Please use darker washcloths for makeup removal.  At the end of your stay, simply leave all used towels on the floor of each bathroom.  Each bathroom is equipped with a hair dryer.

BEDDING: All beds will be made upon your arrival. Additional bedding and personal fans are located in some of the closets. Please leave all used beds unmade when you leave.

GRILL: The complex has one community gas grill for use on the east side of the parking lot.  Be a good neighbor & leave the grill clean after use.

POOL: Olympic size, seasonally heated, swimming pool with bathroom facility.  **Please use outdoor shower to rinse off sand & sunscreen as this clogs filters and causes heater to turn off.  Kindly obey pool rules posted, observe quiet hours & swim at your own risk.  Bathroom code provided in your arrival text message.

TELEVISION & MUSIC: Each bedroom room has TV with Direct TV installed.  Feel free to log in to your streaming services on the Smart TV, but remember to log out so that no one can access your account.   We also have a Google Home Mini for music, news and weather.
