Best Sunset in Seaside

I've been renting places down here for 30 years and this is the best little find ever. Obviously it's small but it was just my son and I for his fall break. The sunset view from the balcony is the best I've ever seen. Right in the heart of Seaside and a pitching wedge from Bud&Alley's and Great Southern. Modica Market has everything you need. I'ts perfect just needs a better bed!

Weekend get away

Ac was broken and they moved us to a lesser location. Truman hangout. Next day moved us in tequila Mocking bird. It was more what we were looking for. Truman needs to be remolded for 300 a night. Shade on door was damaged. Both places need new beds old and worn. tequila mocking bird. New shower curtain and shower curtain rod. Member Mark towels are wonderful. We never settled in because we had stuff planned and we had to change rooms. I understand things happen. The amount of money we sent on cleaning. I think that something else could have been done. We rented for location and the view. I would think twice before renting again.

Nice unit, love the location but not as well maintained as the other units we've stayed in, in that particular building. The Unit would benefit from some minor repairs an a general interior, (and some exterior) refurbishment.

Great Location

My husband and I loved the location of this property. The view was even better than expected. The only drawbacks were the lack of a designated parking spot and also the spiral staircase is not ideal. Fortunately we are active seniors and didn’t have much of an issue. Overall we had a wonderful stay! As a side note, when checking out, I inadvertently left my medications behind under the bathroom sink. Didn’t realize it until hours later when unpacking. The wonderful staff found them, secured them, and shipped them promptly to my home back in Texas…..crisis avoided. Thanks a million!

Cute condo

Condo was clean and beachy with great views of the ocean and the market square. We enjoyed making breakfasts here and hanging out on the balcony looking at the ocean and people watching.However the bed was so hard and uncomfortable so we didn’t sleep well (and my husband usually likes a firm bed). I reached out to the VRBO after sleeping on the bed the first night and asked for a mattress pad or something to help. They responded quickly but unfortunately they didn’t have a mattress pad.There is no washer/dryer (as it says in the description) but we ended up needing to wear sweaters etc a couple times due to the fluctuations in weather temps here (but the closest laundromat is 20 min away). Condo is near many restaurants, shops, ice cream and a little grocery store within walking distance, food trucks, gorgeous beach with white sand. Nice walking/biking paths.

Great location in Seaside

The location is very good and convenient. There was an issue with the key not working to get inside the building. We were finally able to get in after continuing to jiggle the key (this was a 20-30 minute process). We learned that this had already been an issue and they let everyone know not to lock the building. I believe they are getting an entire new lock. The condo was fine. It would have been nice had a few extras (like sugar, salt and pepper, etc.) were provided. We did use the bikes that came with the condo. We would stay here again.

First time last time

The location of this property was great, the decor in the house was nice. However, there is no Wi-Fi and there are only smart TVs in the house so there’s no way to watch anything which was frustrating and I couldn’t do my work. When I checked in, there was a hair on one of the pillows on the bed and a hair in the shower.The AC struggled working, I was able to open windows, but then one of the windows broke which was addressed and fixed and then after that, I couldn’t get the window to stay open. There were issues with the door being able to be open from the stairs, I would have to walk back down three flights of stairs just to use the elevator, so there was a constant back-and-forth with that which was frustrating, it was my first time staying in Seaside and I will be sticking to watercolor.

Close to Power Wash Thursday Eden

Not worth the money spent. Needed Lots of repairs to bathrooms. Every week, including Thursday mornings at 6:15am the town power washed the sidewalks directly outside/below these condos. No noise ordinance exists for this area, according to the local police. The property manager pretended it was unusual, but it is not. Other property owners said they have been complaining for years.
