We are so glad you had a wonderful time. We do wish you would considered changing your rating from the one star to the five start that you indicate in your comment. We loved having you as a guest and welcome you back any time!
Perfect location, nice owner, its a uncluttered cottage that was very comfortable. The sofa could use some cleaning and really does not have a closet but overall it was very good!
Spent a peaceful week in a beautiful little home. Two bedrooms, a living room dining room and kitchen gave us just the right amount of space. Just a couple steps from the beach and a 2 minute stroll to the center of the idyllic little town of Seaside made this a trip to remember. Can't wait to come back to visit our new beach "get-a-way"!
Sea Shack was fine for two and we loved being close to the adult pool. With a shower only on the second floor where the master bedroom is located in our opinion it would be more suitable for two not five guests!
Super cute little cabin for my family of four. Both my girls, ages 17 and 20 slept together comfortably in the bed downstairs. The pullout trundle sofa in the living room was perfect for movie and game nights. Kitchen was stocked with all necessary appliances and kitchen utensils. Perfect walking distance and location to the plaza. Our stay was perfect!
The property was amazing - very small and quaint but perfect for small family of four. The small cottage style of this place is adorable. Very clean when we arrived. Beds were very comfortable which was great - often a negative when traveling. Not ideal to have 1.5 bath with shower only but worked out fine. Absolutely LOVED the bikes and the neighborhood and proximity to the beach and private beach, not crowded in this spot at all. Annoying that the lock code was automatically changed on the door an hour before departure time and this was *NOT in all the directions, but I messaged the management company - doesn’t reflect the actual place and experience and gave feedback to warn others if they are going to do that.

Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We sincerely apologize for the inconvenience caused by the early deactivation of your lock code. This is not the experience we intend for our guests, and we understand how frustrating it can be to encounter access issues near the end of your stay.
The code should remain active until the designated check-out time, and we’ve investigated this situation with our locksmith to ensure it was an isolated error. It appears it was a Daylight savings time error within the lock and has been corrected.
We truly value your feedback and appreciate you bringing this to our attention. We look forward to your next stay with us!
My wife and I enjoyed our getaway to Seaside. We were grateful for the exceptional location of Sea Shack, access to the private Tupelo pavilion beach/bathroom, and friendliness of the Dune staff. There was a slight lack of clothing storage in the bedroom upstairs, a dresser rather than a table would've made for a more organized space. Our biggest regret was accidentally departing with the paper parking pass still in our vehicle (a 51 mistake). Make sure to follow the checkout instructions!

Thank you for taking time to provide this feedback. We love the location on Tupelo and the easy access to the beach and we are glad you found it perfect as well!
We have passed your feedback regarding clothing storage, to the home owner.
The HOA recently (In March 2025) changed their wristband and parking pass policy and they are now permanent from the home, so it is important for guests to make sure to leave them in the property. The wristbands are RFID bands and the parking passes are plastic coated passes to hang from the review. We know it is a learning curve for everyone who has previously stayed in Seaside to remember to pull the parking pass from the vehicle before heading home (as they used to be paper, disposable passes). It certainly isn't ideal, however we work hard to abide by all of the HOA's regulations.
We thank you for being a wonderful guest and for this constructive feedback. We always seek to improve and we appreciate when guests let us know about their experience. We hope that you will come back to see us in the future!
Loved this spot! Quick bike ride to the Seaside hub of restaurants and shops as well as private beach access. The “shack” had everything stocked well in the kitchen, and I enjoyed that there was a variety of pillow types to find a favorite fit. It was perfect for our girls weekend away! Only complaint was that upon checkout, the code for the door was shut off an hour prior to what we were told (so be careful not to lock yourself out!) Other than that - highly recommend this little spot!

This property is a small comfortable cottage with room two to for adults. Easy access and amenities. My only complaint is the wifi was atrocious. It was spring break but we could not even pull up the weather. I was unable to run Youtube tv on the upstairs TV. I imagine that it is better with fewer kids around but it was a major frustration. We won’t book during spring break again.
Very reasonable price for this large dwelling. Nice kitchen & dining room, outdoor decks, and master bedroom suite.
The additional bedroom on 1st floor would work well for a teenager, or extra guest. We used it as an extra area for luggage, clothing, storage etc.
There's even a small screened in porch off the 1st floor bedroom.
A/C worked well, appliances were new (but vintage style). The ice-maker worked well as did all appliances.
Was a couple block walk to the beech, but the immediate area was quiet and peaceful. Is very close to tennis, pickle ball and fitness center.
The outdoor shower door at rear of unit was jammed shut. I didn't want to force it, but it may have worked - just didn't need it or miss it...
We loved it!
The place was nice and clean. The location was great. Having access to the private beach area is definitely worth it.
One thing I would say I didn’t appreciate, was the fragrance smell on the sheets and towels. It was way too over powering, we had to use our own bed sheets that we brought, and the towels we barely use them because of the same reason.
Other than that I recommend this place.
We enjoyed staying in Sea Shack so much.. we’ve stayed in several houses in Seaside and this is one of the top ones! Beautiful, well decorated and appointed, very clean and comfortable. ‘Loved our private parking spot having the 2 bikes! Great location. Everything we needed for kitchen.
Clean. Excellent location just a block away from the Tupelo St beach entryway. About a four minute walk to all the shops and restaurants. Across the street about a block away is the family area with playground and pool. Very nice setup for kids. All in all excellent stay. Cons, not many. Just make sure you bring the essentials like paper products etc because only the minimum are supplied. The kitchen has most cooking utensils but I'd expect much more for the price point of the rental. That could be easily remedied by the owners. Last, there's a nice grocery store, Publix, on 395 just minutes down the road.
SeaShack is a beautifully decorated cottage. It has everything you need. Perfect location to the beach & Seaside town area. Love the porch area. The two provided bikes is a great addition. Will definitely be returning to this cottage for a future stay.
