UPDATED GUEST COTTAGE FOR TWO & PET FRIENDLY IN SEASIDE! Way Back

1 QUEEN, SLEEPS 2 & PET FRIENDLY UP TO 20 LBS.

In the very early days of Seaside, town architect Richard Gibbs and his partner chose to design and build their rustic cabin in the woods just as Forest Street was beginning to be developed. Way Back is their original and well- preserved cottage in this heralded beach community. Among the most frequently rented and beloved one-bedroom Seaside cottages over the years, tranquil and cozy Way Back retains its Seaside architectural authenticity.

Way Back has a new fully upgraded kitchen and just renovated bathroom, two zone air conditioning, and upgraded soft furnishings throughout plus the recent addition of a compact washer and dryer. A reserved parking place in front of the cottage leads via a timber boardwalk through a shady front garden with outdoor seating to the spacious front deck. Furnishings and artworks have been updated in the ground floor living/dining/kitchen area, while the original timber walls and floors are reminders that inspired architecture and craftsmanship never go out of style. The compact stainless galley kitchen features new appliances including fridge/freezer/ice maker, countertop convection oven, four-burner gas cooktop, and a small microwave. The dining space features a compact table that comfortably seats two as the dining area. The living area features new furnishings with two swivel chairs and a new mounted large flat screen smart TV.

Among the very few pet-friendly rental cottages in Seaside, Way Back is ideal for a couple or solo traveller. Positioned just three houses from national heritage listed Seaside Chapel, Way Back provides a private and relaxing connect to the core of Seaside. A stay at Way Back serves as the perfect venue for beach access (a five minute walk), vibrant town center restaurants and shopping and wooded trails for hiking and bike exploration.

An easily accessed staircase leads to the upstairs queen bedroom with Juliette balcony in the treetops. The renovated bathroom features a large walk in rain shower, heated tile floors, heated towel rack, and new stone vanity and floors.Recent additions to the bedroom area include a clothes closet and credenza with ample storage. New outdoor additions to Way Back include a gas BBQ grill, outdoor shower and refreshed landscaping.

Rentals include high speed wi-fi, cable TV in both the living room and bedroom, two bicycles, access to swim, fitness and tennis centers, beach pavilion access, and a beach bag of arrival welcome amenities, including wine.

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: First time to Seaside, mother/daughter Spring Break. This is the perfect location. The house is so charming and has everything you need! The extras that are included - bikes, private beach access, the welcome kit and frequent text check-in make this a no-brainer. Only minor request would be to add a couch instead of club chairs. We loved it and would highly recommend - perfect for a couple!

Nice Weekend
Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We had a nice stay in Way Back cottage this past weekend. Although it was rainy and cooler than we would’ve liked, the cabin was a cozy spot to hunker down and play some dominoes, with a nicely appointed kitchen for cooking and a very comfortable bed. When the weather was cooperative, there was so much to do close by (hiking, biking, restaurants, food trucks, the pools, the exercise center) - good times!

Wayback August 2023
We had a great time at our Wayback cottage stay! My wife had never been so it was the perfect entry to Seaside and can’t be location. Just a disclaimer this is is a max capacity of I would say 2, maybe 3 adults, or 2 adults and a child, I would not book it for a party bigger than that. There could be a bigger shower and a washer/dryer setup but other than that we had a flawless stay!
