We normally stay at a higher end place for a week but this year we downgraded the house for the luxury of staying two weeks. The place has some warts but the location was good and we’re grateful for an option that enabled us to stay in our favorite vacation spot for twice as long.
We met several neighbors, very helpful and friendly. Renting bikes was a big plus! Getting to and from the beach was easy. The neighborhood was mostly quiet. The house was the perfect size and accommodations we were looking for. We’d definitely book this house again!
Very clean and cozy home with a short walk to a GREAT beach! Lots of kitchen stuff and everything was as shown online. Would definitely return, thank you!
The house was great. The tv system (Roku)was horrible. No instructions were left and we did not get to watch hardly anything. I would rent again but not with that tv.

The house is a nice little house with some aged decks but a nice view. Showed up and the house was never cleaned form the previous tenant. Unfortunately you can't get into the house until 5pm, the same time SeaSide Vacations office closes, no answer on the phone. We went out and bought all of our own cleaning supplies and spent 2 hours cleaning the house, not a great start to vacation. The next morning the office was called and the cleaners were sent over, but we refused as we had already cleaned the house and unpacked. Seaside did send over more sheets and clean towels. They also offered us a late checkout for free. Small peanuts in the grand scheme. The location is nice and everyone is dog friendly. Would stay again, but not with SeaSide vacation rental.
