We stayed over Christmas to New Years week this year in Loafer's paradise with 3 couples, 4 children ages 4-10 and 2 toddler/babies and had the greatest time! There was plenty of room for the group either to watch tv and movies or play games and pool in the downstairs game room, either as a large or a small group. Having 3 full baths and a kids room with two bunk sets was perfect for us. Then add in 2 good sized queen rooms and very large and nice master suite, and we were set! There still was a fold down Ottoman bed in the downstairs we didn't use. We sat 10 for dinner + one baby in the highchair provided. There is also enough space to get away and read and a large, well equipped kitchen for holiday creations. There was enough to do that we barely noticed that it rained almost the entire time. Poured actually...When it briefly cleared, there were multiple views of the ocean, just steps away. When one of our youngsters broke a light hanging over the pool table, Jeff went out of his way to make the replacement process as reasonable as possible. He replaced the light himself, taking a full weekend to do it, and still only charged us the replacement parts. Even then the price remained at least a third of what he could have charge us for parts alone. These owners really take pride in their establishment and it's reputation and it shows. We certainly plan to come again and again. Thanks again for a great Holiday!

Our family just retuned from a weekend stay at A Loafer's Paradise and I couldn't wait to share how much we enjoyed ourselves! First impression was being enveloped in warmth when we opened the front door, as the owners were thoughtful enough to make sure the heat had been turned up prior to our arrival. After unloading our stuff and exploring (the house is wonderfully spacious), we all commented on how clean and neat everything was. All of the bathrooms and the kitchen were well stocked with toilet paper, paper towels and other disposables -- a pleasant surprise compared to other places we've rented. Plenty of soap for dish and clothes washing too. Something really great: lots and lots of clean towels! All the bedrooms are generously sized and the basement game room is outstanding! I forgot how much fun a foosball tournament can can be :-) The kitchen has plenty of cups, glasses, plates and cutlery and there are lots of small appliances you don't normally find (waffle maker, griddle, blender, mixer, etc.), lots of cooking utensils and serving dishes. The dining room table holds 8 comfortably -- and a high chair too. Oh, another unexpected bonus -- lots and lots of hot water for showers, washing dishes and laundry! The weather outside was perfect late fall beach weather: cold, rainy and windy. Sitting inside by the fireplace listening to the rain lash the windows while staying warm and cozy in front of the fireplace was awesome. Now for the bad... <crickets chirping>. Hmmm. <Jeopardy theme song playing>. The only things we could think of was the TV had no NFL network channel ( seriously -- it's football season, we need NFL network on Sunday morning), and we couldn't find any black pepper in the kitchen. Horrors, right? Jeff and family, thank you so much for sharing your lovely home with us. We are already planning our retun trip. Oh, and you have black pepper now :-)

Surpassed my Wildest Dreams

We had a marvelous 11 days here – 7 with extended family including grandchildren 10 and under and 4 by ourselves. We had lots of sunny days and a few cloudy ones. The temperatures averaged between 30 to 40 degrees less than the temps in Oklahoma. We were in heaven. I had a picture in my head of what a beach vacation in Oregon should be. This time at A Loafer’s Paradise surpassed my wildest dreams. My grandchildren loved the beach – did not miss all their electronic gadgets – made sandcastles, waded in the waves, chased each other up and down the beach and still had energy for movies and popcorn or games at night. We rode bikes or surreys or dual trikes or pedal cars or whatever you call them. We ate out or barbecued on the deck of your home. We built a fire on the beach and made s‘ mores. Now my 10-year old grandson wants to move to Oregon. Actually so do his grandparents. Guess we'll have to settle for return visits to Loafer's Paradise. Thank you Jeff and Ana. We loved every minute!

Loafer's Paradise was perfect for what we needed and expected! Three adult couples that have known each other since Jr. High School spent a long weekend relaxing, walking the beach and just visiting. The home has comfortable beds, three bathrooms and a wonderful living/dining room to laugh in. The kitchen was well supplied with dishes, towels, soap, pans, wine keys, utensils, coffee maker...you name it! To get to the beach all you had to do was cross the road and you were there!!! Keys were easy to pick up and return. Gas fireplace kept us cozy and pool table kept us entertained. Neighborhood is quiet and easy to get to. Walk to town was just perfect. We all highly recommend it!!! Only complaint we could have is no pets, but we knew that going in!

The vacation home is roomy, clean and great for a large group. The property has a very "homey" comfortable feel to it. I have only stayed there for one night a couple of times (post Hood-to-Coast), but would love to stay longer to enjoy all it has to offer!

A Loafer's paradise vacation rental review

We stayed at this house after finishing a 200 mile relay. I found this house to be very relaxing and perfect for our needs. It was clean and cute and we all felt a little pampered! We had plenty of hot water to shower in and we had plenty of room. (12 of us stayed there). In the morning we all went and walked to the beach and went for a run on the beach. We have used this house for two years now and plan on using it again! It had everything we needed and we all enjoyed ourselves!

Great beach house

Best house I've rented in Seaside! One block to the beach and a short walk to the turn-around. It’s far enough away from the crowds on Broadway to provide a nice, clean and quite beach. House has great decorations throughout and is well stocked. Owner is very responsive and is great to work with. Already planning to return next year.

Owner response:Ana and I have been honored to have the Baba Yaga Hood-to-Coast team stay at A Loafer's Paradise for the past two years. This all women's team consists of some really great people who, in 2010, just happened to place 1st in the "Women's Master" category. We are proud to have them coming back for the Hood-to-Coast 2012 relay race! Thank you all again for choosing A Loafer’s Paradise as your final destination to rest and celebrate your individual and team Hood-to-Coast successes! Jeff & Ana

Summer Stay at Loafer's Paradise

Date of Stay: 07/02/11 Review Submitted: 07/11/11

We really enjoyed this house. It worked well for our family with the kids in bunks and their parents right next door with the bathroom between. It was also nice for us to be off in the master since we retired a bit earlier than the younger folks. I loved the colors! It really makes the house pleasant and cheery. It sets the perfect mood for a vacation at the beach. My cousin and her husband stopped by one afternoon (they have a place in Ocean Park, WA) and they were very impressed with it also. The finish details in the house are really great (special crown molding and mosaic tile). The location is awesome too. Just a short walk over the dunes to the beach. Our grandchildren loved it!

The photos don't convey everything, it is comfortable and roomy! There are three levels, upstairs there are two bedrooms and a bathroom. Then the main floor which has the kitchen, dining area and living room, along with two more bedrooms and two bathrooms. Then downstairs is the hang out area with a pool table, Foosball table, washing machines and a daybed! The dining table is very large and accommodated everyone in our party, and you can see the beach from it!! The kitchen was very well stocked & clean, the bathrooms were clean and lots of linens. The bedrooms were fantastic!! Plenty of space for everyone in our party, adults and children. My daughter especially loved the bunk beds! They were very sturdy and not too high, just perfect for a mother who was a little nervous at first! The owner was very helpful and prompt in his replies. There was ample parking for our large vehicles and it's an extremely short walk to the beach! We had a great time downtown at the arcade and eating homemade ice cream. Everyone had a really wonderful time, even though the weather was cooler, there was plenty to do. We will recommend this place and we'll be returning next year!
