Great home!
This spacious home was perfect for our family. It’s in the perfect spot to where you can walk to the beach and shopping/restaurants. I would definitely stay in this home again!
We couldn't have been happier staying at this VRBO in Seaside. The location is absolutely perfect for beach and walking downtown. The front porch is wonderful. Any questions we had were answered very promptly. We really enjoyed our stay.
Everything we needed and more for a comfortable stay. 1 bedroom down stairs with private bath and 1/2 bath also downstairs. 4 bedrooms all up stairs were roomy and beds were all comfortable along with a full bath. Super convenient location! We would stay there again.
This property was fantastic. The house is gorgeous (and the pictures accurately reflected that) and was perfectly located for what we needed to get to and do while in Seaside. We had a wonderful visit and wouldn’t hesitate to book again for our next Seaside trip!
This was my first VRBO reservation, and I’m so happy with the experience! The home was rustic and charming. My kids loved it, and it was in the perfect location (close to the shops/restaurants and the beach). Would absolutely stay here again. Only issue we had was no dish soap to wash things that weren’t dishwasher safe.
This place was an absolute delight!!! The location is a block from the beach, straight to the dunes. Lots of sand dollars to find and nice sand to play in. The house has everything you could need! Board games and toys for the kids, all the necessary kitchen appliances, as well as bathroom needs! The sunroom is delightful and perfect for lounging. The front swing was a perfect hang spot. It is very spacious and absolutely adorable!!! We look forward to staying again in the future!!
Two blocks from the beach and close to town. Very clean and spacious.

The house is a lovely home. It is located in a central location with sufficient parking and ample space for a larger party or family. We enjoyed it here and would go back.
This house was perfect for our family! We had 10 guests and there was plenty of room for all of us! The house had everything we needed. We can’t wait to come again!

Oceans Away
The location was close to the beach and large enough for 6 adults to enjoy a retreat together. The enclosed porch was a wonderful place to read each morning.

Historic home with thoughtful upgrades
This old house has lots of space and easy access to the beach. The bones of the house creak and crack at every step. We loved it, but our little one did have some trouble sleeping. We’ll still be back because it’s a great place overall.

Family loved this house
There were 4 adults and 3 kids. Was perfect for our family. One bedroom down stairs with private bath and half bath also downstairs. Four nice size bedrooms upstairs with a full bath. We had dinner outside one night. Deck is beautiful as well as the new landscape. I might add the kids had legos and lots of games. We would definitely stay in this old charming home again.
The Mandalay House was wonderful! We had a group of seven, but there was room for more. Plenty of room for spreading out…board games, puzzles, conversation. The 120-year-old home was full of charm - yes, even the creaky floorboards! We loved reading all about its history in the scrapbook. The proximity to the prom and beach was ideal. We were disappointed with the lack of cleanliness of the dishes and serving items. Everything else seemed very clean and well cared for. Since we visited in November, the extra blankets in the living room came in handy. A few extra switch-on lights to illuminate the deck stairs and driveway would be a plus. Thank you for a great week!

I loved this beautiful old craftsman house!
This house was wonderful! It was large and accommodated out group very comfortably. Close to restaurants, shopping mall, beach, and very homey. Close to visit Astoria and Warrenton sites. It fit our every needs!
This was the most well equipped vacation home we’ve ever been to. They thought of everything which made our family’s stay a great joy. From games to ample seating, fully stocked kitchen and a beach kite for the teen, we couldn’t have asked for more.
House was wonderful. Loved the sunroom and front porch. A ton of space for a family.

Decorated so cute. House is very creeky as a older home can be. We had a blast in this place. Playing games, sitting on the porch with our morning coffee. Even cat napped on the really cool swing. Beds very comfy

Mandalay 1900 vintage
This is really a beautiful home built in 1900 that has undergone significant renovations. It has a bit of a wow factor. It is well stocked with kitchen items necessary for those great meals. It is close to the North Prom and an easy walk to Seaside tourist center. We really enjoyed this house.

Liked: Cleanliness, location, listing accuracy
It was the cutest place we enjoyed this house
Everything was A+ one snag was it was being cleaned when we came at 4 to check into the house. The cleaning had about an hour before finished. Other than that it was a great stay we would love to rent it again
