Top First Encounter Beach Hotel Reviews

The Seagrove Suites & Guest Rooms

The Seagrove Suites & Guest Rooms

10/10 Excellent
"The property was wonderful and very private during our late October stay. The Deluxe King Suite was the perfect size for the two of us and smartly laid out. The location was also ideal and easy access to the national seashore beaches. Some of the items are a bit dated and worn however (i.e. flooring, sheets) and the small wall heater is not adequate to properly heat the unit during colder months (temperature went down into mid 40’s in the evening)."
