Unforgettable

Seacrest Inn is a gem in the middle of Avalon, in a walkable distance of everything, provide a “feeling home” sensation. I had magical days over there and at the island. Since the beginning before booked a room they gave me a lot of attention and help. Hopefully I’ll be back soon

It was very cleaned. I didn't like that the bed made a lot of noise every time I turn or when I had to get up.

The room was clean and cozy, and the staff were kind and helpful, making both check-in and check-out a breeze. The inn was conveniently located, just a short walk from the ferry and all the shops and restaurants in Avalon.

For the marathon.

Great stay in the garden room. Clean. Tv is great. Bed comfie. Neighbors were awful! Not the fault of the inn! Close to everything. Jacuzzi tub was perfect after our run.

Construction so it was noisy. Could not hear the lady checking us in. Top floor for viewing was closed. Dark in the. Alley. Small room, bed creaked with every move. Needs updating!

We were actually upgraded to the Sand Castle Cottage next door since renovations were occurring at the Sea Crest Inn itself. It was a charming, eclectic & pleasant throwback to the beach cottage days of yore & we really enjoyed the stay. Amber gave us some island history at checkin & Michael let us stay a bit later than normal checkout time to wait for our Cat Express out of the rain. Literally a block from all the shops, & 2 blocks from the ferry & local Vons grocery store, so super convenient. The street gets a bit loud & busy during the day, but quiets down past about 8:30pm. Definitely enjoyed our stay & would happily stay again!
