Wonderful

The excellent location almost supersedes the need for furnishing updates at this property. The mattress is very soft, as previous reviews have mentioned, but it’s soft in that there are two very deep indentions that make it incredibly uncomfortable and feel very old to the point we slept on top of the provided covers using our own bedding. While the house is very clean on the surface, the air vents are in need of a good scrub. The property manager was very responsive, but we had issues with the key box that may have been of our own making but were very difficult to resolve. Overall, we will happily stay here again and again but only once the mattress is replaced.
The little cottage met our needs! Cute and clean; very minimal of course. Could turn this into 5 star review with better beds, bedding and pillows. Benchmark was more like a 2/5 stars as they have a policy not to deliver additional blankets or pillows, which we needed with our infant. Additionally, we extended our stay but they forgot to extend our code.

Reviewer Comments:
Place was very quaint. Queen bed very comfortable. Has everything you need for a nice stay close to beach. Just walk out door cross street and take private walkway over to beach. If you will be using the upstairs sleeper sofa there is no blinds/curtains on windows. Walk easily to the town center where there are resturants and plenty of food trucks. We also utilized the community gym. Small but has everything you need It's perfect for a couple to get away. Bit pricy but that is Seaside.
Very close to the center of Seaside. Quiet. Comfortable bed. Just know that it is tiny. Once you open your suitcase there isn’t much room to walk around your bed.
The only complaint I have is that there were no beach towels. Every beach house I have rented has had them. We flew. Beach towels take up a lot of space in a suitcase. Had to go buy towels.
My family and I enjoyed the house , it has everything you need for your stay and it was well maintained. Conveniently located, walk 2 minutes and you are at the beach which we enjoyed every day!! A lot of options for food and snacks without driving. We had a great 4th of July weekend!!

Perfect little spot for two. We wanted a quick getaway to clear our heads of the work buzz and drink in the sunshine and beach sounds. We got exactly what we wanted. Great location. Easy walk to the beach and to town. Not super clear directions about pool access, but there is access to two pools, so take advantage of that. Cute. Comfortable.

Location, location, location! This cottage was in a great location close to town square and right next to the beach! It was just enough space for my mom and I to stay for a long weekend and they had all the supplies you needed in a quaint cottage!
Great Location but No Internet Connection & Construction Noise
Walkable to Seaside Center - Great location....
I didn't have an internet connection during my stay (4 nights & 5 days). Be aware of construction noise next door.
Great property with a perfect location, everything is walkable - the seaside shops, the beach, restaurants. You just park your car and get around easily on foot. It's small and quaint, is perfect for 2 and has everything you need for a comfortable getaway.

This property is in a great location being just a few steps from Tupelo pavilion leading down to the beach and it was an easy walk to the center of town. We did have a few disappointments and concerns about the property itself. As senior adults, we were concerned about there being no grab bars in the shower. In addition, there was a GFI receptacle in the bathroom pulled completely away from the wall just inches from the bathroom sink. Also, the toaster oven on top of the fridge did not work. We tried to relocate it to the counter, however, could not move it. It seemed to be plugged in behind the fridge, but we never got it to work even leaving it on top of the fridge. This was our third stay in this property. Our first was in 2014. Furniture and furnishings have not been updated since our first stay. The sofa just felt dirty. These are probably considered minor issues, however, we paid a premium price to stay at this property and, with a premium price comes high expectations. The price for this property has risen significantly since our last stay in 2019. Overall, the property did not meet our expectations.

Reviewer Comments:
Showing wear and tear. Paint flaking on baseboards. Grout needs cleaning. In fact whole place needs a “deep clean”. Have stayed in various cottages at Seaside for 40+ yrs. One has better options. Did like the location.
This is a cute cottage. However, when we arrived parking was tricky. The property address is on Tupelo, but can’t be accessed unless you park on the private drive which is a street over. This wouldn’t have been a big problem except for the fact that I drive a large SUV and there is a terrible layout for parking. If anyone would have been parked next door we would have been stuck because I wouldn’t have been able to get my vehicle out other than to back out onto 30a and cross the pedestrian sidewalk with no visibility (plants/trees/houses). Second, when we arrived, our code did not work on the door. It had to be reset remotely. Then, the code to the beach pavilion gate did not work. They gave me another code, which worked that evening but was not working the following morning. Very inconvenient when you’re carrying beach gear for 3 in 90 degree weather. The last thing I’d have to say is that if you are planning on cooking… it’s probably not a good idea. The kitchen is small, which is to be expected. It is very well stocked, but the smoke detector is only a few feet away and just turning the burner on set it off. No smoke. Scared my kids the few times I tried using it. The oven burned the bottom of biscuits and cinnamon rolls after only 1/2 of the recommended cook time which gave us raw food on the inside and burnt bottoms. I am an avid cook at home, so using kitchen equipment is not something new to me. I would suggest planning on dining out if you stay at this property.
Our first visit to Seaside was awesome! We had a great time! I’ve been obsessed with tiny house for years and the house we stayed in was so cute! It was the perfect size, it was clean, and the location was perfect. We were right across the street from the beach pavilion which was so convenient. I really enjoyed being able to walk to shops, restaurants, and the beach. The only complaints I had were that the parking instructions weren’t clear (don’t park on Tupelo St, go down the street labeled Rosewalk-Private Drive and you can park right in front of the house), there were no directions to the community pool (but we stayed at the beach most of the time, so that wasn’t a huge issue), and the pavilion code in the rental info emails didn’t work (we had to text the management company who very promptly gave us the correct code). Overall, we had a fantastic time and will definitely visit again!
My husband and two kids and I enjoyed our stay. It’s a small space but we were across the street at the beach or in the Seaside square most of the trip. We loved it. Having access to the private beach was a big bonus.
Perfect location , easy access to the beach and food vendors in town. There was no need for a golf cart. We had a great time! Maintenance was timely and fixed any issues. All in all a great place!

Don't recommend as a last minute rental. Otherwise, we will definitely be back!
Perfect place for the two of us. Minutes walk to the beach. Close to all shops and restaurants. Private off street parking. Clean and well cared for. We’ll be back!
We love staying at Margarita Days. Second year we’ve stayed here. Perfect for 2. Easy access to the beach and all that Seaside has to offer. I definitely recommend this place!
