  We had such a wonderful stay at Tight Lines. It was a great 2 bedroom cottage for our family of 4. Very clean and had everything we needed. It is located in the center of Seaside - close to the beach, shops & restaurants, and the pools. We were able to bike and walk everywhere. We will definitely stay there again!

  My mom and I stayed in seaside for a long weekend in September and found this cottage to be just fine for us. They have done some nice updates to the kitchen, beds were very comfortable, and the layout worked really well for us - felt larger than it was. The proximity to town couldn't have been better, it's just steps to shops and restaurants - and it's still not too far of a walk to the beach. The only reason I didn't give it 5 stars was that it does need a few minor repairs done to it....it's starting to show it's age. The upstairs bath faucet needs to be replaced - it leaks constantly. And the wood floors in front of the laundry, leading to the downstairs bedroom, is badly buckled from water damage and is a major trip hazard! We both tripped on it the first time! But for the most part it felt clean and well kept. It's a great price for a 2 bedroom in Seaside, and that was the biggest perk! A 1 bedroom through the Cottage Rental Agency would have been almost double what we paid for this 2 bed/2bath. We have rented through Sandpiper for several years now and they are always very accommodating and easy to work with and their cottages are always at a much better price than their competition.

  Tight Lines is an efficient, cute and comfortable cottage. We enjoyed our stay very much! My ten year old loved having the loft to herself. Our family of 5 comfortably slept in this two bedroom cottage with the loft. Location in relation to Seaside restaurants, shops, activities, fitness center, family pool and playground is nice. We had a very nice time during our seven night stay! With very minor touch ups this cottage could be perfection. Things I would improve if it were mine: 1.add an ice maker (or at least new ice trays that don't leak) 2. A few of the kitchen cabinets need to be cleaned out and a few kitchen gadgets and tools updated. 3.Have access to an outdoor shower or at least a hose in place to rinse sandy feet again before entering the house. 4. Add a fan to the porch. 5.If only the shared side porch had a few pretty plants and a table with an umbrella, that would make it an enjoyable area that would really add to the usable space for the renters. As it is now, the side deck is unused asset. The front screened porch looks onto the garage/trash collection area of the building in front of it. That is a negative. My husband was bothered by not having wireless internet.

  The location was great and for a small cottage, they maximized the space to make for a comfortable girls trip for three. The cottage is centrally located to every thing in Seaside. Sandpiper Vacation Rentals was responsive to our questions. The internet connection was a little hit or miss for the first two days and while we were never able to connect to the Tight Lines server, we were able to connect to an unsecured server to meet our internet needs. The only other concern was the sheets on the trundle bed had not been changed. The sheets were wadded up on both mattresses under the bedspread and both were dirty and full of sand. Fortunately there was a spare set of sheets.

  Although it is a bit small, it was perfect for our family. The beds are perfect and we all slept well. The kitchen is small but we chose to enjoy the Seaside restaurants. The cottage is close to the square so we loved the nice walks for breakfast and to the beach. We were very frustrated that the listing promised wi-fi but the signal was either unavailable at times to so weak that it was worthless at other times. Great Southern was our favorite place to eat. Bud & Alley's pizzeria and taco bar were both horrible. Loved the CabanaMan beach service and the bloody mary's at Great Southern. The cottage has a nice porch and the street is quiet. A perfect family getaway!

  Owner response: We installed a new high powered WiFi. The signal in Tight Lines is now strong.

  We spent a long weekend here in September with 2 adults and an infant. We have stayed at Seaside many times but this was our first time not using the Cottage Rental Agency and the process was very smooth and easy. We would stay here again. The house was convenient and pleasant- not huge but plenty of room for the three of us. Seaside is our favorite vacation destination- there's just no place like it.

  My wife, two-year-old son and I had a great time at Tight Lines. We really enjoyed being just off the Ruskin Place Artist Colony. You can see the Great Southern Grill from the front of the house, so you are very close to the city square. It is also just around the corner from the family pool and playground, so the location is just about perfect for families. Also, the downstairs bedroom is located far enough away from the living area and the upstairs bedroom to allow parents to send kids to bed without having to whisper and tiptoe around. We found the home's furnishings and condition to be just right. For homes in this price range, we felt that we got a lot!

  tight lines was exactly as its webpage described it. it was pretty, clean and well maintained. the living area was a bit small though and the house number is nearly impossible to read, making it difficult to find the house upon one's first visit. finally, it would be great if the cottage had a few family-friendly games (even a deck of cards), beach toys and dvd's. my hubby and daughter were there during a tropical storm and ended up staying in the cottage more than they had planned. it would have been perfect to have had some time-passers! the managers were very flexible, efficient and helpful. we would use it again!

  An enjoyable stay though uneven experience: location (+) = proximity to everything, location (-) garage & garbage views from porch. AC worked surprising well, given vaulted ceilings. Need to hire a handyman to remedy wood chairs, lights (lack thereof), worn paint, replace cumbersome key box. Overpriced compared to other properties we've enjoyed.
