Perfect for families!
Great location and spacious home with plenty of room for everyone! Our family of 5 (2 adults, 2 teens and a 9yr old) had a blast staying in this charming older home. Within walking distance to all the shops (less than 10mins), and just a couple blocks from the beach! We loved staying here and hope to come back next summer!

Wonderful Girl's Trip
This was a very nice place to stay. The house was large enough for our group of 7adults. The only concern was that bedroom windows in the downstairs bedroom were not able to keep open; one window would open but not stay up and the other window (street side), when I opened it the whole pane fell out towards me. I was able to put it back in and shut the window but there wasn't much as far as air flow in that room. Overall, a great location, close to town and the promenade. We had a wonderful time.

House was perfect for a group, the furniture is a bit dated, but it’s very adequately proportioned and appropriated. The layout is wonderful and the lawn and deck are great. The best part about this home is the location. It is close to everything you need to be at. We hope to book it again, Thank you!

Quiet get away
Large older house, that can accommodate ten people easily. Very clean and close to beach and shopping. This house would be great for large family’s with kids! Nice large patio and beautiful yard. Property had everything we needed. One shortcoming the gas stove was missing the fuel line so we didn’t get to grill.

Beautiful history
We loved the history and nostalgia of this house! We are a large group of 10 that attend rod run every year, but have recently started renting homes in Seaside rather than Long Beach. This house is fully stocked with everything you need, so we only packed clothes and food. Of course, cleaning such a large house is a likely a challenge and some windows don’t open (in the room we had) so my husband used a sound machine of the sea, despite being right next to the sea. Parking this many of us was a challenge as the garage was inaccessible despite the listing info. Beds are comfy, everything that really matters was good and we had a great time!

Great Location, Space, & Price
Overall this is a great place to stay. It’s difficult to find a decent house so close to the beach with this kind of space. The yard and balcony are also big pluses. The House is definitely dated and a little rough around the edges. It’s also a shame that there’s no washer/dryer available. But overall we had a great experience and the house worked well for a family with small children.

seaside stay
very spacey and lots of room to lounge. Unfortunately, the house is just too old. It's a great value for the space but certain areas were just falling apart (deck was about to tilt over from rot). No screens for circulation. was a bit too hot during the summer days. The surprise was that it had plenty of kitchen tools to cook for the family. If they invested in upgrade, could charge more and guest will pay more. Still I'd stay again for sure.

Good location
Couldn’t use upper deck as railing is about to fall off, pretty scary and a disappointment as that is where the view of the ocean is for some of our party that have a hard time making it to the beach. Plumbing is loud, beds are less than comfortable (as previous reviewers have mentioned). Really needs access to a washer and dryer for a big family. I wouldn’t rent again due to that… Having said that, the house is a good size, great location to be close to town and the beach, big yard, plenty of kitchen supplies for a family of 10. Overall a good experience, and with a few repairs and updates it would be amazing place to stay!

Our Birthday VRBO weekend at Seaside
We didn’t mind the older house and most of the amenities were fine. But what was unacceptable was the power (Electricity) situation. One of the walls on the main floor had NO power! The upstairs thermostat was locked at 55 degrees. We were told because the management did not know where the oil tank was so better to turn off the heat just in case the tank is empty. There were space heaters in the rooms and around the house but this is the problem. We had the breaker trip 6 times between 4-10 pm because we turned on 2 of the space heaters upstairs. So we turned them off and only turned them back on at night. But again, the breaker trip 2 more times between 11 pm to 12 am. We finally gave up and just turned them off. Needless to say, we were freezing while sleeping both nights we were there. Again, an old home is fine but with the amount of money we paid, you would at least expect to have the BASIC NECESSITIES and powers definitely falls in that category! Overall, if we had any choices, we would have moved! Worst experience we have ever had with either AB&B or VRBO and we do at least 4-5 of these types of trips a year and we have been doing this for a long time. If it was not for family that made this even have enjoyable, we probably would have gone home after the first night!

Small issues but totally worth it
The house itself was great. Great amount of space for everyone, bedrooms are large and beds are comfy. Backyard is great! Awesome balconey patio off the master! Old house with lots of charm! However, the description said we could park up to 3 vehicles, 1 in garage and 2 in drive way. There was no way to open the garage and I tried numerous times to get ahold of someone and no one returned my calls. It was frustrating to have a search for parking daily.

Seaside Vacation Extravaganza
Location was great. It was close enough to the beach and to town that a short walk allowed you to visit both. It was quiet with plenty of room for the family. The house could use some light maintenance on things like lighting and sticking doors; however sway from updates as it maintains an older comfy feel. Everyone wants that vacation where it's sunny with a light breeze and bits of water vapor from the ocean cooling you down. Well.... we did not get that; it was rainy and cold. The house made the vacation; large table for gathering with the family for laughs and gaming. The short walk to town made it a quick jaunt to avoid getting soaked and could still do shopping and eating at the many venues available.

Lots of space, very outdated and noisy.
There was a lot of noises at night due to the heating system. If you have a light sleep this house is not for you. The property was very cold when we arrived. It took all Friday and 1/2 day Saturday to warm up. The place, appliances, kitchen items and the furniture are very outdated. It could use a little update and maybe replacing the worn out kitchen utensils. The master bathroom had a funky smell, scented candles took care of it. We enjoyed the floor plan and the kids loved the spacious. Lots of good spots for them to play hide and seek. The location is very convenient, everything is at walking distance.

Never again!!
First thing we struggled to get in. Keys did not work unit was unlocked and we left a door unlocked to reenter. Second issue THE SMELL! We purchased candles because the home smelled like pee so bad! Third issue towels did not seem clean. We found hair on towels and bedding. Rugs were sticky qnd floor felt dirty. They asked for no shoes and it left socks and feet filty. We took off for the day and came back to find trash added to the garbage can. We asked if someone lived in the basement and never got a response but would see the light on at times and off at other times. Definitely do not recommend! Could be nice if they updated decor and cleaned better!

Great location!!
This is a nice clean place to stay. It is close to the beach and town. I would stay here again! But, this home is without any frills. However, I do believe the nightly rate reflects this, so it is not a jab, but rather an honest review. The notes below are more for the owner(s) to review since my one call to their property manager went unanswered. The kitchen faucet needs to be replaced. You can't get hot water and the faucet does not always turn off, which I am sure bumps up the owner's water bill. I called and was told a maintenance person would come out, but we never saw anyone. There is only one smart tv in the living room. I would suggest the owners put a smart tv in each room, so people can watch what they want rather only being able to choose from the great selection of DVD's. TV's are so inexpensive these days and it would make a nice value add. We had a large group and it would have been nice to be able to go to our rooms to watch TV on our own, too. The heater may need to be looked at as it is very noisy. The BBQ has a lot of rust on it, so really isn't usable, unless there were BBQ cleaning tools, which we didn't see. Again, this is a nice, clean, fairly priced place. The comments above were made in hopes the owners read reviews and let them know maybe they should touch base with their property managment company.

Good location
The location is great. The cleanliness of the house was not up to par with how much we had to pay for a cleaning fee. The website said check out was at 10 but the book inside stated check out was at 11. When the heater comes on the sound that it makes is very loud and you will need to turn the Tv up a bit. The location was great. I would rent this house again I just think the cleaning fee should drop or cleaning get better

Our stay was great, but having to end a nice weekend by rushing to be out is not relaxing. Advertise your listing with the reality that guests are renting for 18 hours with the 4pm check in and 10am checkout. You were not flexible even though the home was not rented the evening we checked out.

The property was very clean and well-maintained. We had a family of 10, and everyone had comfortable beds and ready access to one of the three bathrooms. WiFi was very good and readily available on a smart TV. The beach access was less than five minutes away and very close to the Seaside promenade.
