We loved being close to the beach, but the pictures don’t show that it’s nearly half a mile to the ocean itself. We loved having the windows open to let the breeze in, until the campfires on the beach introduced at significant amount of smoke. The condo is really close to a lot of the downtown attractions, making an easy walk to the Aquarium and other features. Make sure to ask which parking spot is yours, because they didn’t mark them with unit numbers and you need to know which ones are yours (our instructions didn’t come with that info and I had to contact the office). It was just me and my mom, so we were very comfortable, but it would fit more people than that comfortably. We left before we were done seeing everything in Seaside and the surrounding area, so we definitely want to go back!
