The walking distance to the beach was perfect, it was so nice to have all the beach accessories available at the house. Toys, chairs, mats, towels, kites, firewood…we didn’t have to bring any of that which was excellent because we had no more room in the car! The food recommendations were spot on and so helpful. Seaside offers lots of great entertainment for those traveling with kids and the kids weren’t board. That was lovely!The house was okay, lots of comfort touches available, you could have a nice fire in the back yard (we didn’t), the three bedrooms were nice sized, living space worked well overall. The kitchen was okay, the microwave was very low power, it took a long time to heat a cup of chai or anything else. It felt unorganized to me. Like, coffee mugs were located in two different places, cooking utensils in 3-4 different places. They were there, you just had to search for them.The vent in the hallway straight out from the kitchen towards the bedroom was very dirty. Heating vent, I think? The decor was beach themed and fun. The first bedroom was mine, the bed was very low to the ground and very soft (not my favorite), but the bedding, towels all linens were clean and in good condition The flowers were abundant and lovely. It was so nice to have a place to hose everything off when we returned from the beach! Our trip was very nearly perfect and I’m so glad we chose Seaside, it has everything you want when traveling with kids.
