If you’re new to 30A, it can be confusing—this home is in actual Seaside, not just “nearby.” That means you’re steps from the town center and have full access to Seaside’s private beach and amenities—a huge perk! You don’t need a bike or golf cart to get around (and short-term rentals can’t have golf carts anyway unless special exceptions apply).The house is perfect for one family or two couples. It sleeps 10, but that includes a kids’ room with three beds. There are two true primary suites, each with its own private bath. We loved having the privacy of the downstairs suite while the kids were upstairs.The location is unbeatable, but the cleanliness and service from Sandpiper really impressed us. I’m usually a hotel-only traveler, but this home was spotless—cleaner than many hotels—and Casey and Jessica from Sandpiper were responsive, friendly, and professional, even after hours (which I didn’t expect of them at all!).The kitchen is stocked, the furniture is quality, and everything felt well cared for. My daughter loved the toys in the kids’ room, which was a bonus, but do bring your own beach gear (no towels or boards provided). The checkout process is not overwhelming either - super simple with very little to do! If you’re used to quieter neighborhoods like WaterColor, just know that Seaside has more car traffic, so bike riding requires supervision. Still, I’d absolutely rent here again. Sandpiper made the experience feel five-star from start to finish.
