Beautiful home! Great vacation!!

We had an amazing time staying at the beautiful Blessings by the Sea. It is so close to everything and had the perfect floor plan for us. It has a great open kitchen that overflows in to the family room where we spent most of our time together playing games. Beautiful oversized master was perfect downstairs. Upstairs offered us ton of space for our four children to sleep. Great outdoor dining area too. Thank you for sharing your home with us :) we will definitely come back!

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Love this rental. This was our third (or maybe 4th year staying in Blessings by the Sea). It’s the perfect size for the 6 of us. This year there was an issue of sewage backup due to a blockage so we had to be moved. We will, however, rent Blessings by the Sea next year.

Perfect Spring Break House

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We had a wonderful week at Blessings By The Sea. The house was lovely and well-appointed. The upstairs king bedroom with adjoining bunk room was perfect for six girls to share and hang out ... plus there was plenty of room for two moms to have our own space AND a great place to work remotely. Our only complaint is with mother nature ... as she didn't allow as many sunny days as we'd hoped for. We'd return to this house in a heartbeat.

Making Family Memories

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: This is our third stay at Blessings by the Sea. There are 6 adults and a 4 year old. We love it! Just wish there was another king bed as both sons in law are tall. They have been flipping a coin but it would be great if they didn’t have to. Just a suggestion? Love the walled mirrors between houses as they offer added privacy. Great rental! Can we buy it?

Beautiful Home in Seaside

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Blessings By The Sea was a beautiful property! It was perfect for our family of 8~ baby included! Nice location, updated and very well equipped kitchen, with nice w/d. The only tiny hitch we had was the ice maker was slow to produce~ something that should not be happening with such a new appliance. Added bonus from the sweet owners was a toy box for the beach! Thank you for helping our family create beautiful memories at the very special place known as Seaside. We shall return!

review of August 7-14, 2021 stay

Rating Details: The property manager was more than helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Generally good, but the office never provided the extra towels that I requested and said I would pay for. Luckily, I was never charged. The ice maker was not working and the office did send a repairman; however, he left a mess for us to clean up and he did not wear a mask. Another workman came unexpectedly to change filters and he did wear a mask and was very considerate.

Great family home for a vacation

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We just stayed a week in Blessings By The Sea. It was a great home for our extended family. The bedroom setup was great. The 2 adult bedrooms upstairs were located at either end of the hallway with the 2 bunk rooms being attached or next door to the room with the king sized bed. We were traveling with our 2 grown children and their spouses. Our daughter has 3 littles (one slept in a bunk and the twins slept in port a cribs located in the second bunk room) This kept their noise level at a minimum for our son and his wife. The Outdoor Patio was a lifesaver for keeping the grandchildren happy and gave them lots of room to play. We ended up eating most meals outside since the weather was perfect. The kitchen was well stocked and had everything we needed. One last note, the outdoor shower was a great way to quickly get the kids cleaned up from the beach. We would stay here again!

Spring Break Trip at Blessings by the Sea

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: This house is a perfect location to walk to town, the pools, the playground & the beach. It is a great size as well. There are some things about the house you must know if you are coming with more than one family... the second king bed is on the 2nd floor attached to the bunk room. Therefore, the second bedroom for adults is a queen bed and not a master. The dishwasher did not clean dishes, no matter how much we cleaned and rinsed the dishes before putting them in. The toilets run & made noises all night. The insert in the hood leaked water when it rained...It is a nice house, with lots of room, in a great location. But there were small things that could have made the stay better. Homeowners Collection is a great company though and answered all the things we needed.

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We Loved staying at Blessings By the Sea! The house is very well designed, VERY clean, has all of the household items you need to cook for a large family and is perfectly located in Sea Side. It is on a quiet street but only two blocks the from the market center to it was the best of both worlds. The fireworks on New Years are perfectly viewed from the top deck.

Great property!! Avoid fall and spring break!

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: The rental property was the best we have ever experienced in many, many years visiting Seaside. Perfect sleeping arrangements and privacy for us and our adult, married children. Also perfect entertaining areas for the entire group to be all together. Everything appeared to be brand new...comfortable beds, high grade appliances, big screen TV for football viewing. The disappointment came with Seaside itself. I understand it is going to be crowded during fall break, but the large groups of rowdy, loud, disrespectful teenagers was a surprise. Either they weren't staying at Seaside, or they were not supervised in any way. We missed the family atmosphere that we usually experience at Seaside. This seemed more like spring break at Daytona beach. As my children were growing up, Seaside security would've stepped in. Definitely won't be returning for our annual fall vacation. If Seaside is the new teen party place to be, we won't be returning at all. Thankful the property was so nice because we didn't dare go out after dark for fear of being mowed down by a speeding teenager on a bike with no regard for pedestrians and definitely stayed away from the food airstreams because of the bad behavior, bad language, breaking in line from the droves of teens. Still, the property was top notch!

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We enjoyed our stay at Blessing by the Sea. We had a group of 10 with 6 kids from 15-8. There was plenty of room and the amenities were top notch. The location was also perfect to get to the beach or town center. We have stayed in seaside for 14 years and this condo was perhaps the best one we have rented. It is updated and clean. The courtyard and the screened porch are very nice additions as well.
