The Seacraze features one of the largest Swimming Pools in Hua Hin and benefits from an advance filtration system delivering crystal clear water at the perfect temperature. With the main pool being 60 meters long, it is ideal for keen lap swimmers. There is a shallow area of the pool for younger children, and this is well placed next to the children's soft play area. The pool offers poolside and semi-sunken loungers and is nicely shaded later in the day for reading and unwinding.
Each of the 4 buildings in the Seacraze development have lift access direct from the Car Park to each floor. There are however steps to and from the reception and pool area which would make using the resort facilities of this development difficult for wheelchair users.
The Seacraze condo resort is located on the Southern border of Hua Hin in the developing beach district of Khao Takiab, just 7kms from the centre of this lively seaside town. Getting from Khao Takiab to Hua Hin is easy. Songtaews (known as the 'Green Baht buses') are the cheapest method and takes about 15 minutes.
Within a few minutes walk of the apartment are an excellent choice of restaurants and bars serving delicious freshly cooked food at great prices (three of the many local restaurants are shown in the last 3 pictures). Most restaurants serve breakfast, lunch and dinner. There are several massage places within a stones throw where a one-hour Thai or foot massage costs just 250 Baht.
Once considered the quiet end of town, Takiab is fast becoming the place of choice for those looking for a more relaxed place to stay with the best beach and great restaurants yet still within easy reach of the two big shopping malls and central Hua Hin with all it has to offer.

This is the second time we have stayed here and we love this apartment. Very good location, very comfortable and the swimming pool is huge. There was a small issue with something in the apartment (very minor thing), which we told the host about so that he could get it fixed before the next people arrived, however he arranged to have it fixed immediately - excellent service.
The host was also very helpful when we had to cancel at the start of the pandemic. Great communication from him.
Very highly recommended and we will certainly stay here when we are next in Hua Hin!

Tolles Appartment nahe Takiab beach
Das Appartment ist geräumig und sauber. Es ist ruhig und liegt ca. 500 m vom schönem und ruhigen Takiab Strand entfernt. Der ca. 60m lange Schwimmpool ist für Erwachsene recht flach und nicht so gut zum Schwimmen geeignet). Zur Station der grünen Busse (10-15 Baht) ist es ca. 5 Gehminuten entfernt von wo man günstig und schnell in die Stadt fahren kann. Besitzer war sehr nett und schnell (online) erreichbar. WLAN war direkt nicht vorhanden, aber ein 4G Hotspot-Gerät war verfügbar (wir hatten ein separates Handy als Hotspot-Gerät mitgenommen).

Nice clean apartment
A nice clean apartment in a quiet building with a MASSIVE pool. Close enough to get to the main hustle and bustle of Hua Hin by regular little green bus but far enough enough away to not be disturbed by it. Plenty of places to eat within walking distance and only five minutes walk away from a nice quiet beach. Contact with owner very good too.

Amazon break in December 2018
I spent two weeks at this apartment at the start of December and it was a great choice. The weather was excellent and we went to the beach most days which is just 5 minutes walk, then returned to the shaded pool when it got too hot. I loved the Oasis restaurant right opposite and used it often for breakfast and lunch or an evening nightcap. Transport into Hua Hin town and Cicada market was easy, plus there are minimarts in the same road which have every possible essential. The apartment itself was clean, modern and comfortable and had a great view from the balcony.

Excellent
Stayed here for 12 nights with our kids - ideal for what we wanted. A nice apartment with decent sized rooms (king and twin beds) and a good view out to the sea. Excellent location - close to the beach, plenty of restaurants (but avoid Airspace opposite) and 5 minute walk to the bus into town. A real plus is the huge pool in the complex which was never crowded. Good communication with John via email and easy access to the apartment on arrival. Thoroughly recommended.

Great location! Will certainly visit again.
I have just returned a 2 week stay at this lovely apartment. Initially, I was apprehensive about the out of town location, but there was no need to be concerned as the beach opposite and local restaurants meant that we rarely felt the need to go into town. The pool was really amazing and so clean. I will definitely return to Hua Hin and hopefully to the Seacraze.

We had a great holiday
The apartment was as described with a nice little balcony which faces the sea and the pool was massive and was never overly busy. For us the location was the best bit being 5 minutes walk to the local Takiab beach, restaurants and bars within a few hundred yards and open all day, a 7-11 supermarket across the street, and the bus stop to the Hua Hin night markets, Blueport shopping mall and town centre is a 5-minute walk away. We all loved it and wished we'd have booked another week.

Fabulous apartment and massive swimming pool
We have just returned from a 10 day holiday at the lovely Seacraze resort. We have stayed in Hua Hin in a hotel several years ago but this time we chose an apartment so the kids could be in the same room and have some more space. This is a compact 2 bedroom condo apartment with 2 shower rooms, a lounge and kitchen on the top floor facing the sea with great views. The balcony gets the sun for most of the day and in the evening it is lovely to sit and relax. The apartment has everything you need for a family holiday. The beds were of good quality and very comfortable, there was plenty of linen and towels, and the apartment has a pay as you go Wi-Fi router which you just top up in 7-11 across the road. There were no English TV channels but there were plenty of good English DVD's. The resort has a small gym and Wi-Fi lounge but the best part is the pool - it has to be one of the biggest we've ever seen and it was never busy.
The location was brilliant. The kids loved the fact that they could cross the road and go into 7-11 for a coke, ice cream etc. and us adults appreciated the choice of places to eat or grab a drink, breakfast, or coffee in the local vicinity. The bar/cafe directly opposite is open from 7.30am to midnight and there is a brand new upmarket restaurant next door which does amazing Thai and Western food although was a little more expensive. Most evenings we took the bus into Hua Hin centre which takes about 20 minutes and is excellent fun when you are hanging off the back of it. Occasionally we took a taxi which is just 200 THB. The bus also stops at Market Village, a large 3 storey shopping mail with multiple restaurants, a big Tesco, Banks, Market stalls, Fashion shops, Mobile electronic shops, Cinema, MacDonalds, Pizza etc. In Hua Hin town the night market has an excellent vibe, and the choice of restaurants and bars is truly vast and not expensive. The apartment is only 5 minutes walk from Khao Takiab beach where you can hire sun loungers for 50-100 THB and be served food and drink, there are several restaurants there to sit at including the Anantasila Hotel which is beautiful and is one of the few places you can get a decent salad. We were initially apprehensive about staying outside of town but having done it, I think we would do it again because everything is so accessible plus there is plenty in Khao Takiab anyway. We are hoping to return to The Seacraze again next Summer !

The Seacraze condo is literally 5 minutes walk from Khao Takiab beach, considered the quietest and best bay in the Hua Hin area. The beach is lined with small traditional shack style restaurants offering Thai and European food. Each restaurant has sunbeds to attract customers which carry a nominal charge or are sometimes free if you eat or drink. So you have a beautiful beach, sunbed, sunshade, great food, waiter service drinks - what more could you want! Jet-ski, horse-riding, market sellers complete the package.
Hua Hin is Thailand’s golfing capital with many world class courses just a few minutes from the apartment. The new SEA PINES Golf Course is Oceanside, a links course, the newest in the area and literally at the end
Getting around
Seacraze is just 7 kms south of the centre of this bustling seaside town. Getting to Hua Hin is easy. Songtaews (or Baht buses) are the cheapest method to take, costing 10 baht to and from central Hua Hin. These Green open back buses leaves every 10 mins from the Police Station which is just 3 minutes walk from The Seacraze. They drop you in the middle of the famous night market, however you can also buzz to jump off at any time.
For a faster journey Tuk-Tuks (bike taxis) ply the route and car and motorcycle rental is readily available.
