In Seaside "À La Mode" | sleeps 4| Ruskin Park Views
À La Mode is homemade ice cream on blueberry pie, served with style.
Welcome to a sweet little corner of Seaside’s best kept secret, Ruskin Park. Located between Central Square and The Seaside Chapel, À La Mode is a perfect hip hideout for a couple or young family. Originally designed as an artist colony, the shady oaks of Ruskin Park offer quiet cool in summer months and easy walking access to shops, restaurants, and the beach, all year round.
After a day on the beach, shower off in the carport and enter the newly remodeled kitchen and find plenty of room to hang beach bags, hats, and towels. Bulk storage items like drinks can handily hide in the base of the entry bench. New cabinets offer plenty of storage to À La Mode’s well stocked kitchen, complete with a countertop “Sonic” nugget ice machine (mini refrigerator no freezer) ! A stainless Steele microwave, electric range, Miele dishwater and under-counter refrigerator, along with a host of small appliances and serving pieces are at the ready for a night in.
Past the stackable washer and dryer, find a remodeled bathroom with new LED halo mirror and luxury shower. Across from the bathroom, rest well in a new custom bed with queen-size Sterns and Foster mattress, nautical inspired fan, television, motorized window shade, USB nightstand plugs and reading sconces.
The living room hosts plenty of closet and drawer storage for clothing, luggage, and belongings, as well as a collection of books, games, turntable with classic vinyl albums and a mini beach cruiser collection! Expect a new comfortably stylish, neutral-toned sectional sofa with queen sized memory-foam sleeper, a modern leather recliner, large television and modern bistro seating for four. Trickle out the front door and onto the park patio with amazing views and a perfect spot to enjoy a book, meal or drink. You’ll see how À La Mode makes good things better.

Super clean, obviously recently renovated, great lay out, central to all activities yet because of the location it is quiet garden feel. Liked it so much we booked again before leaving.

We are so happy you decided to return to A La Mode! The refreshing calm of Ruskin Park is hard to describe, you just have to experience it to really "get it." Thank you so much for your kind review of our little slice of paradise!
Everything about this property was great! The vibe is so amazing and flows through the decorative touches. Perfect location! None of our party has a negative thing to say! We wish we were still there.

We are THRILLED you enjoyed your time at Seaside À La Mode! Thank you so much for taking time to let us know you enjoyed staying at our sweet little slice of paradise! We're so glad you'll be back!
We really enjoyed our stay here as a young family of 4. The place is quaint and looks bigger than what the pictures show. The doors open right to the courtyard, which was lovely, gave us fresh air, and was easy to enjoy a meal outside. Be advised there is no freezer in the mini fridge. We will definitely be back again!
We really enjoyed our stay. The location is great as your steps away from everything in Seaside. The only negative was the noise above from the home up top. We didn’t know there would be people staying above us, and we heard every footstep and noise at night. The home is updated with some really nice features and very clean.

We apologize for any misunderstanding or negative experience. A' La Mode is a first floor apartment. There are sometimes homeowners or guests of owner staying above. We will update our description to make it more clear moving forward. If you'd like, you can contact us in future to find out if guests will be staying above. We thank you for your honest feedback.
This place was a little gift to ourselves as we were dealing with being displaced bc of a natural disaster hitting our home. A La Mode, upon arrival, provided us with amenities galore and a very nice bed we easily passed out on! Through the trip, we ate meals at the adorable dining table, played Sergio Mendes and Dave Brubeck LPs on the record player, slouched on the comfy couch watching sitcoms, played one of the many games from the game shelf, and had such quick access to the pools, beach, and downtown. All that to say A La Mode helped us to RELAX. The whole experience truly felt like a dream and a privilege, and I want to stay here longer next time!

We are sorry to hear about your displacement, but so happy that A La Mode was your relaxing refuge. We continually try to cultivate our little spot into somewhere we love to be in hopes that others will love it as we do. Thank you so much for sharing your experience. We hope you come again!
We loved the location. Ways to improve this property would be adding a freezer, and also adding some powder creamer packets and sugar packets for coffee. Also the air filter makes a loud noise every time the air kicked on and we weren’t able to get in it to try to tape it or do something to secure it. But it scared me every time the ac kicked on. Overall I would love to come back to this property.
