We loved this property and would come back! So close to the beach! It was clean and had the perfect amount of space for our family of four. We honestly loved it, but if we were to leave any constructive criticism, it would be that we would’ve loved a Keurig machine over a traditional coffee pot, and one of the closet doors was off the tracks and just laying in the closet and one of the bathroom sinks was slow to drain. Other than that, it was really great and I would highly recommend it!

Perfect location! Right next to pool and a quick walk to the beach and main square. The house was great — we loved the screened porch for our littles and sneaking out to the upstairs porch swing during nap time. This house was a perfect fit for our family. Homeowners Collection was also great to work with — very responsive and friendly. We did have a couple of small issues and they were on top of finding a solution quickly.

I have been visiting Seaside since the 90s and have stayed all over the development. This property is hands down our favorite. Amazing location, easy access to the beach, very calm and comfortable decor, and well cared for. We had a minor issue with the wifi. HOC was out in minutes to resolve the issue. HOC is by far the best service in Seaside. I look for their properties first when booking in Seaside.

Hello Kisa! WOW thanks for an amazing review on all fronts! We are delighted you enjoyed Mama's Happy cottage and all expectations were met on Homeowners Collection services. We do hope to welcome you back on any future visits to Seaside! Take care and enjoy the remainder of your summer!
Great location to walk or bike everywhere in the area!
This is a nice property in a great location. It was an easy walk to the beach and the pool. Beautiful house and street.
Just as a heads up, be prepared to bring everything you want as this house had no coffee, creamer's, sugar and other condiments like other houses we have rented over the years. It is not a big deal, but just heads up to bring all your own stuff.
And only suggestion is to add ceiling fans to both upstairs and downstairs front porches as it has a beautiful view, but too hot to enjoy it as the direction of the house gets no breeze.

My family of four celebrated Thanksgiving at Mamas Happy and it was perfect! The house is in a great location- close to the beach, to the pool and to the shops. We loved using the complementary bikes and also played tennis on the Seaside courts. The house was perfect for the four of us- very comfortable with great closet space, and the porches were a perfect place to gather with our extended family. It was our first time to spend Thanksgiving at the beach and we are considering making it a new tradition.
