Good location

Rating Details: The property manager was more than helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Good location for beach and town access easily. House overall in good condition. Ice machine for fridge doesn’t produce much ice. Also, bathroom only had about 4 bath towels which was quite an inconvenience and took several days and reminders for management to bring more. We also had a toilet that quit working and management was able to fix that within a few hours.

New images March 2027 to come!

Summer 2026

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was clean. I was very happy with the location. I was very dissatisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: The house needs updating, dining chairs look like they are second hand, the jute rugs are coming off on socks and feet, ruined socks. It's just time to update/refresh some things. Everything looks/feels old and tattered. When I'm paying the same price as I would for more updated homes I will not choose this one again. I stayed in this one 2024 and gave it a second chance.

birthday trip

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was very clean. I was very happy with the location. I was satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: The house was nice but outdated. The one bathroom toilet was so low that it was hard to use almost like a kiddie toilet. The chandelier in that bedroom should be replaced with a ceiling fan.The kitchen has very little counter space. Due to the pollen we couldn't use the porch furniture because the house did not have a blower to blow off the pollen. And the house always seemed dark I think the lighting can be improved.

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was more than happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental.

The earlier checkout at 10:00, forces you to spend half the previous day packing up, cutting into the quality time of your stay.

Perfect cottage for my family vacation

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: I would literally build this house where I live and be happy the rest of my life. Super convenient to the square and the beach, too. My only suggestion is that it may be time to replace the living room sofa and mattress in the lavender bedroom. It was a little lopsided but I still slept fine. Staff was SUPER helpful and friendly. Very responsive. Overall, a great stay! I’ll be back ❤️

Charming Cottage

Rating Details: The property manager was more than helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Seaside is a wonderful place for a family vacation. So much to do and so family friendly very secure. We liked our cottage. Well furnished, there is some water damage in the master bathroom caused by the washing machine we thought that will require major handyman work. The cottage could use ceiling fans, the master and guest bedroom have one AC vent each. A fan on the front porch would be great as well. Overall our vacation was a success. The manager of Homeowners Collection is very responsive.

Location is great. House is just okay.

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was clean. I was very happy with the location. I was somewhat dissatisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We are frequent visitors to Seaside, and always try and use Homeowners Collection. This property did not measure up to the properties we’ve stayed at on the past. The location was great, which is the main reason we selected it. Walking distance to the square, shops, and beach. The house seemed outdated in many areas. There was mold in the dishwasher and the dryer contained rust spots inside the drum. We couldn’t get the ice maker to produce ice, although we never called maintenance because of the inconvenience. We just bought ice. The bedrooms did not have any ceiling fans to assist the inadequate airflow throughout the house in July. There were two box fans that we had to use to keep bedrooms cool at night with the thermostat all the way down. Recommend an electrician take a look at the switches. A lot of the didn’t seem to work and one outlet didn’t work in the master bath. Overall the size of the property was great and the location was perfect for our family. It just seemed to us there hasn’t been any updates to the home in some time.
