The location of the unit is great. Steps away from the Watercolor Beach Club and a half mile from the heart of Seaside. Management was very responsive to any inquiries I had. The unit was furnished very tastefully and the kitchen had everything we needed. The pictures are very accurate - sometimes they can exaggerate the size of the unit but not in this case; the unit was very spacious. The balconies were perfect for enjoying a morning coffee and were perfectly positioned to block the frigid wind (temp was in the 30s in the morning) and allow for the warm sun to shine on us.

My biggest gripe was that the WiFi went down at least 3 times a day so it made doing work a little challenging. Another problem (although no fault of the management or the unit) was that there is a lot of construction going on in the building next door so half of the parking lot was occupied by construction equipment - meaning there were limited parking spots. I chose not to move my car too much during the stay because losing your spot meant driving around for 20+ minutes when you returned to find a new one. There aren't many sit-down restaurants in the area within walking/biking distance so we ate in for quite a few dinners. Perhaps if parking wasn't so scarce we would have ventured out more - although during peak season this means waiting about an hour for a table.

Definitely make sure your bike is chained up to a bike rack or tree because one night I only chained my tire so no one could bike away with it and someone tried to steal it. When they couldn't get anywhere with it (they got the chain pretty wedged in the wheel trying), they threw my bike under a tree about 10 feet from where I parked it. The staff at Bike Barn were extremely accommodating and exchanged the bike without a problem.

Overall, I would definitely recommend staying in this spacious unit and I would rent it again.
