Quaint and convenient!

We loved our stay at Fishtales! Just a short walk across the street to a private access beach made is so pleasant and not overrun with other beachgoers. While walking thru the neighborhood streets to the pool it felt very serene. You didn’t hear the busyness of traffic on 30A at all. We are now looking forward to our next trip down to Seaside FL!

Great place

We have stayed here before. It is very close to the shops and restaurants and also the beach. We park and walk everywhere. I wish this house had a different shower- it's hard to get in and out of and it doesn't have a lot of shelves for shampoos and soaps.

A Little Slice of Heaven

What a time we had in Seaside. This was our first time in Seaside and my wife already stated this is where we will go from here on out. As far as Fish Tales, it was a cute little cottage located perfectly for the beach and walkable to the center square. In fact, once we parked the car, we didn’t move it. This is a place we would rent again.

Not that impressed

Roof leaked next to the bed upstairs when raining. Squirrels were living between the inner and outer roof. Although it had a parking space getting in and out of there was a pain. We will return ti Seaside but will not be staying at Fishtales.

Perfect location… not so perfect home

We LOVE the 30A and have stayed in many places here in the past. Seaside is our favorite 30A town and this home is in the perfect spot- close to town center and a 2 minute walk to the beach. However, almost everything in this home needs replaced/ updated: mattresses, washer, paint, countertops, furniture, pillows. It felt dingy and dirty because of this. Management company was great at communicating before/ during stay, but never really addressed these concerns when we reached out. Overall, great stay, but just know this home has a very “lived in” feel.

lovely cottage needs some refreshing, squeeky bed and hard pillows

great location cute cottage, nice play area for kids the only suggestion I would make is nicer softer pillows, and less (squeaky bed down stairs it wakes you up when you move.) better pans for cooking, four trash bags ,four dishwasher pods Part of the checkout process is to empty trash and run the dishwasher Well its actually quite ridiculous to expect the guests to go buy a whole thing of trash bags for one bag and same with dish washer pods to make your life easier when we are paying the massive cleaning fee. So for that reason the star rating is less other than that we will definitely return to this cottage again. thank you for sharing your lovely cottage

Cute but needs updating

We recently stayed in Fish Tales. The location is great. It's very close to 30A, so a very quick walk to the beach which is very important. They leave sand toys and boogie boards which we also liked. The cottage is a good size and the decor is funky and fun. That being said, the cottage needs updating. Tiles are coming out of the bathroom floor, the shower makes a horrible sound when you run the hot water (which is only enough for 1 shower), the door knob to the outside is very loose, and it could use some paint on the inside. The living room furniture also needs some attention. There really isn't a place to sit and watch TV that is comfortable. We had a nice stay, but just don't expect anything very "fancy". I feel like for the price per week, this unit could really use some updating.

Cute, Quaint Cottage, GREAT LOCATION!

We love renting through Sandpiper- they are always personable and provide excellent customer service! The Fish Tales cottage is a cute, quaint cottage just steps from 30A. We enjoyed the private beach access and short walk to shops and restaurants. We enjoyed the cruiser bikes but wish this bike rental company offered a basket and/or cup holder like last year. The cottage was cozy, clean, and had everything we needed. The bed linens and pillows were comfortable and cozy. Kitchen was well stocked and perfect for our needs. The cottage decor was cute and beachy and the view from the back porch was picturesque! We loved the extra “lighthouse” room (as we liked to call it) upstairs. We used it to look at our seashells and it was fun for our little one to go up the cool ladder. Cons: The entry layout/dining area was a little cramped getting luggage in and out and also entertaining family. The only bathroom is downstairs and the stairs creak which woke my little one up at night. The claw tub was nice but a little hard for our 7 year old to step in and out of. The loveseat wasn’t as comfy as some we’ve stayed in around this area but it was fine for our needs. While the location was nice during the day, it was loud at times at bedtime with car music going up and down 30A. We brought a noise fan which mostly drowned it out. Despite these small inconveniences, we loved our stay and had a wonderful vacation! We can’t wait to go back!

We loved the area. Great location. Close to shops, food, and the beach. There was some cleaning that was lacking but overall very nice. If your a TV watcher the living room was the only streaming TV and no cable upstairs so suggest bringing an iPad for upstairs.

Great location

This was our first visit to seaside, but hopefully not our last. The location of the house is great, and having a parking space in a driveway was very nice. It took 5 minutes to walk to the center of town, and less than that to get to the beach. We love the tower room, as my daughter called it. It was pretty clean. We did use the washer and dryer. I didn't see any bugs inside. The tub shower was a little awkward, but it had good pressure. We used the pool a couple of times. My daughter enjoyed the sand toys at the house. We would stay here again. We love Seaside!
