Cottage charming & comfortable, good for short getaway. 5* amenities (bikes, Pool & fitness, etc), close to shops w/ fabulous foodtrucks, Modica Market, private access to beach which was superb. GREAT view from porch, many details attended to with care despite aging furnishings/bathrooms. 1 complaint is AC is not central so upstairs became too warm during day to enjoy inside during hot afternoon when you want nap in cool room.... View is 5+ stars & unit other than insufficient AC worthy of 4. I must however speak to fact no one informed me prior to arrival of extremely noisy building going on a few feet from unit. A LARGE house being built & though I realize I was not staying during peak season most certainly not yet OFF season & to arrive at long awaited respite to endure incessant racket of hammers, saws, scraping shovels, electric tools, & yelling workers is quite unbecoming locale & rate of this cottage. Should be informed at booking or possibly prior to arrival or even AT arrival (maybe an apology & extra amenity??), instead, work began 7am....when I want to enjoy sound of waves on porch w/ coffee in AM.... afternoon nap during hottest part of day.... evening cocktail. All moments accompanied by banging & clanging to the point a conversation could not be held over noise —only break after 6pm.... 2nd week of August. At very least give me option to stay elsewhere if I’m to be accosted by such extreme noise all day. I was sorely disappointed to lose out on quiet rest expecting & desperately in need of, & for this reason I have disappointment in Co. renting unit. Not a peep. Strongly advise, as is best practice of major hoteliers & luxury accommodations, that guests be informed of their vacation’s tenuous relaxation / potential ruination by noise of workers building a house inches away. For the lack of communication & resulting inability to fully relax & enjoy my long-awaited trip I must give 2 stars.

My husband and I rented this cottage for a weekend getaway to celebrate our 15 year anniversary. The location is great and the cottage has all of the amenities you need. The views were beautiful! The welcome tote is nice and the staff are very helpful. A few things that need to be addressed- bugs- there were roaches in the screened in bathing area, downstairs bathroom, and bedroom. The upstairs toilet would not flush. The furniture upstairs needs to be cleaned. The seaside village is peaceful, clean, and safe. We only made it to the adult pool which was over 100 degrees so if you are looking for a cool pool do not go there. The beach is great however you might as well rent chairs from the cabana man. I placed our 2 beach chairs on the beach at 6:15 am, around 7:30 the cabana man came a set up his chairs and said I had to move. The reality of renting beachfront property does not mean you get to sit beach front.

I booked this cottage for my honeymoon. The listing claimed this was a child-free zone, but just across the walkway (a thin path) was a few families with small children. We arrived after check-in, and were informed by the agent to fill out the check-in form and wait for them in the morning. We never saw or heard back from the agent. After wasting a whole 1/2 day, I called the agent to learn they were not coming and to leave the form under the front door mat (it would stay there for the entire duration). I was also alarmed to see exposed wires hanging out of the wall above the mirror in the downstairs bathroom. The jacuzzi tub had sand and dirt in it. I ran the tub to clean it out only to have 3 dead roaches shoot out of the jets. While some of these issues are minor, for the price I paid, I feel like they are things that should have been taken care of prior to our arrival. I personally will not use this agency again if I return to the area.

Homeowners Collection is an excellent company to work with when searching for a place to stay in Seaside. The people at HOC are professional and paramount in friendliness and service. The Sanctuary property hosts stylish and comfortable furnishings and a spectacular view of the beach and gulf. There are a few repairs and maintenance issues that clearly are the responsibility of the actual homeowner. The issues are mainly cosmetic and could be corrected only if the homeowner decides to go to the expense of making the necessary repairs and updates.

The cutest little cottage in an incredible location! Walk or bike to everything! We loved sitting on the balcony just watching the waves come in. Perfect place for 2 adults looking for a quiet, simple getaway! My only suggestion would be new pillows on the bed and a lot of the furniture needs screws tightened. Our coffee pot was cracked when we arrived and Homeowners collection dropped off a new one right away. They are super helpful and responsive!
