Thank you so much for taking the time to write this positive review of your Seaside rental and the Homeowner’s Collection team. We are delighted that you enjoyed your stay, and we look forward to welcoming you back on your next visit to Seaside!
Location was great if you like to be right in the heart of Seaside. The balcony was so nice to relax and people watch. Easy and close access to beach and everything you could possibly want. The kitchen can use some attention to detail. ie: pot holders, extra dish towels, linen napkins. We enjoyed staying here as an alternative to a more isolated property.

The location of this property was perfect to feel like you were right in the middle of all the action in Seaside. The porch is the real star of the place. Beds were comfortable and had plenty of towels and toiletries. Property managers were so easy to communicate with - making for a smooth check-in/out process. Would recommend and will definitely stay here again.

Spectacular location with spectacular views. Big enough for a small family without feeling cramped. The place does need a very deep clean and refreshing of the paint. Excellent TV and Internet services.
