About Terri Schmidt-Fellner
We are an Atlanta family of five that has been coming to Seaside since the late 80's. Since 2006 we have spent entire summers at Seaside each year. Our three boys have grown up there and now work as Cabana men on the beach when we go down. The boys are 18, 17 and 13.
Terri Schmidt-Fellner purchased this House in 2006
Why Terri Schmidt-Fellner chose Seaside
Our home is perfectly located in Seaside proper. We are right across from the family pool, minutes (2) from the beach, but at the end of a cul de sac so not heavily trafficked with cars. There are so many nice porches all over the house and guesthouse. Also, the guesthouse has a separate entrance so allows plenty of privacy but connects to the main house via the outdoor dining area downstairs and a covered porch leading into the main house kitchen upstairs. The furnishings are fresh and modern, the bathrooms are fabulous and the kitchen appliances are top of the line, Sub Zero fridge and Viking stove. Also, the 2 bedrooms downstairs in the main house have their own compact Sub Zero fridge right in the room.
What makes this House unique
Take It Easy and Relax are perfectly located in Seaside. The houses are are only a 2 minute walk to the beach and only a 5 minute walk to town center in Seaside. At the same time there is little automobile traffic on our street and it is quiet at night. We are at the dead end of the street with a small cul de sac in front of our homes, it makes for a perfect place for kids to play.

This was a lovely home with a wonderful owner. Plenty of room for all our family, on the end of the street which made it super safe for our little ones to play and the private community pool literally 15 steps from the house. We come to Seaside twice a year and always stay somewhere different but this was by far my favorite. This home felt like visiting family at the holidays and not like a rental. Updated, super clean, stocked with everything you would need and the gated entrance to the beach ensured a quick path with only families from the same vicinity. We will be back!

Our first trip here...Weather was perfect! Take it Easy is a great home that had everything...within an easy walk to town and the beach. The owners are very helpful and accommodating.

We stayed at Take it Easy for 4 nights over the Thanksgiving holiday and couldn't have been happier! The house (and guest house) was beautiful, comfortable, and well stocked with kitchen supplies for our Thanksgiving feast for 12 we prepared! It's just a short walk to the lovely Seaside beaches, and their beautiful sunsets. The owner's were quick to respond when we had a small issue with the pool passes (over a holiday mind you!) and overall we had a wonderful stay. We especially liked being at the end of a quiet street as it made for very peaceful evenings. Actually working with the owner over the course of our initial inquiry to our return home was wonderful. They were always quick to answer questions via email, something I truly appreciate.
We had three teenage girls in the sleeping loft (it was a bit small for them but they wanted to be together so they made it work!), one couple each in the first floor bedrooms, two smaller girls in the second floor bedroom, and another couple had the privacy of the guest house.
We enjoyed our Thanksgiving dinner on the outdoor picnic tables; a lovely setting enhanced by the overhead lighting and soft music from the surround sound speakers.
Thank you for opening up your lovely home to vacation guests!

We loved the home, guest house and location! Terri was great and prompt in all communication in the reservation process and any questions about the home. The kitchens have great appliances, the home was clean and lots of great porches to choose from. We loved the view from the tower and fantastic outdoor dining space...my favorite! The two outdoor showers were great to get sandy kiddos squeaky clean and we enjoyed the perk of beach towels and beach toys (we haven't experienced in many homes we've rented in Seaside). The house manager was quick to address a small light bulb issue in one of the showers. We've stayed in many homes over the years in Seaside and Take it Easy is hands down the best!
