Perfect little beach cottage

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was very clean. 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: Have rented this cottage multiple times. Whether morning coffee or afternoon cocktails, the porch is perfect! There is a daybed swing for reading or napping with gentle ocean breezes and lapping waves. Easy walk to beach, close to pavillion, as well as Seaside shops and restaurants.

Weekend Get Away

We came for a weekend away after a hectic beginning of the year. This was the perfect location! Walk out to the beach, walk into town, and a quick drive to any other area along 30A. The cottage was perfect for us, easy check in and communication with hosts, easy check out. The perfect deck was amazing for getting breakfast to go and enjoying out there. Same for watching sunsets. This was the best!!

Location is excellent, but About Time needs some attention

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was clean. I was very happy with the location. I was very dissatisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: THis cottage--About Time--is in an excellent location! So close to everything. The balcony over-looking the beach/ocean is one of the best things about it. THe table & chairs and the railings need some work--they are falling apart.THe closets are short,so if you have long dresses or men's jackets, they don't fit.The window air conditioner in the bedroom is VERY noisy--every time it kicks on, it wakes you up.I also had a 2-inch cockroach crawl across my face one night. I swept it away--jumped out of bed to grab my phone light to find it. It was under my pillow. I captured it with toilet paper and smashed it--those suckers are hard to kill!Had to buy additional hangers for room and kleenex for each bath, because those weren't provided.I like the cottages because of their location, but I'll pick a different one next time.

Great time!

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: About Time was a great cottage. It is a small one bedroom with 2 stories so be prepared to go up and down stairs a lot. If that is a problem then this is not the cottage for you. We really enjoyed it. The cottage was clean and housekeeping was great with bringing more towels. There were some ants in the bedroom on bottom floor but not that it was a nuisance. The view was wonderful and it is right next to the beach access.

Our stay 2023

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was clean. I was very happy with the location. I was somewhat dissatisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: My husband and I took a 10 year anniversary trip here by ourselves. We loved the location and design of the About Time cottage and we love Seaside! This cottage was in mediocre condition, and we were slightly disappointed. The bathroom cabinet had some kind of black dusty substance stained on it, the towel rack was broken, and the place just needed some general maintenance. There is no washer/dryer which we knew ahead of time, but there was a space in the “closet” where they used to be. It was crowded with a shelf, cleaning supplies, etc making the space completely unusable. There was not a place to hang full length clothes because of this. To top off our stay, the place was infested with ants. Not just a few here and there, they were everywhere. We were given some Raid spray to help, but it did nothing to solve the issue. It was explained that there had been an abnormal amount of rain which makes pest issues worse. I get that, but this was not just a small issue. It needed several treatments back to back in order to get rid of them. We were given a discount because of our experience which we very much appreciate. We were just hoping for a better overall experience.

Porch swing with a view!

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Seaside is always good to us- even if it rains. This is one of our favorite honeymoon cottages we have stayed at. The swing on the porch with view of the beach was one of our favorite spots to be. It is steps from the beach entrance. There wasn’t a washer and dryer so heads up on that.

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: I really don’t want to tell anyone about our favorite place on our favorite beach. We feel as if “About Time” is our very own cottage. We will return again and again! My favorite place at sunset is on the porch swing. The space is perfect for two. The small kitchen is as well appointed as mine. We love it!

September getaway

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was somewhat dirty. I was very happy with the location. I was somewhat dissatisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: I feel like the property could be better taken care of especially for the price. The full bath had mold around the shower door, the couch in the living room was covered in stains and sugar ants in the kitchen. There was a temporary window AC unit taped into a bedroom window as well. I’m not sure I would stay here again even with the home’s great views and location based on its overall condition.

A stay for two

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was very clean. I was very happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Very cute little house, right next to the boardwalk (which was beautiful itself) .. There were photographers there every night taking family photos.. The beach here is stunning, clear water and white soft sands.. Staff on the beach was friendly. The lower porch is very secluded and there is a lot of nice landscaping with thick canopies. We enjoyed our time inside, although it took us forever to find the source of a faint beeping noise that never stopped. (A motion activated trash can). It wasn’t emaculate there, a few stains here and there and dust, but nothing to cry about. And the bed was so comfy. You’re also welcomed with a bottle of wine and a lovely beach bag for your stay. I’d come back here for sure and would recommend this little gem.You’re also in walking distance of a lot of shops and a variety of food. It seems a lot of families ride their bikes to get around, and we were offered two free bikes as well for our time here.

“About Time” owners (need to) renovate and upgrade worn amenities

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was somewhat dirty. I was very happy with the location. I was very dissatisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Homeowner’s Collection was great to work with; professional, smooth communication, and the unit was ready early. Although HC did a great job cleaning the unit as best as possible, the owners need to renovate and replace worn out/broken amenities. Granted, sand is like sandpaper on floors and carpeting and can’t be avoided, but there were large, multiple stains on couches, gross brown stain on porch swing (the other side was torn and ripped), two bedroom dressers that had rusted drawers so we had to line them with plastic grocery bags so we didn’t ruin our clothes. The dryer knob was broken so we couldn’t control the heat. Advertised as a beautiful Seaside rental, but the condition didn’t live up to what was expected based upon the description and marketing pictures. Bathroom(s) and mini kitchen were in great shape. The first time in approximately 15 visits to Seaside over the years where we ran into a unit in such poorly maintained condition. There are too many weekly rentals along the 19 mile stretch of 30A to choose a unit that is poorly maintained by owners.
