About this property

Newly Renovated Beach Cottage in Seaside | King Bed | 194 Ft to the Beach

Sunrise | Newly Renovated Seaside Guest Cottage

Sunrise is a completely renovated and expanded guest cottage in one of Seaside’s most desirable locations on charming East Ruskin Street. Just 194 feet from the beach access at East Ruskin Pavilion and one block from downtown Seaside, this cottage puts the beach, Central Square, and more than 40 shops and restaurants within an easy walk. With a prime location, beautiful new furnishings, and thoughtful upgrades throughout, Sunrise is an ideal Seaside escape for couples or small families.

Arrive along a classic sandy Seaside footpath to a spacious open-air front deck. The cottage’s large, fenced-in wooden deck creates a private outdoor retreat, complete with Adirondack seating for two—perfect for morning coffee or an evening nightcap while listening to the waves nearby. Guests also have access to a shared charcoal grill and an outdoor rain shower, perfect for rinsing off after a day at the beach.

Inside, the first level features a newly renovated and expanded king bedroom furnished with all-new designer pieces. Custom built-in storage flanks the bed and includes integrated reading lights, while a mounted flat-screen TV with YouTube TV adds an easy way to unwind. The newly renovated bathroom feels fresh and spa-like, with a marble vanity and a large glass-enclosed walk-in shower featuring both a rainfall showerhead and handheld shower wand.

Upstairs, the newly expanded living level features a bright, open-concept layout designed for easy coastal living. The brand-new designer kitchen features quartz countertops, custom cabinetry, stainless steel appliances, and new dishware and cookware. The kitchen includes a two-burner electric cooktop, full-size refrigerator with ice maker, microwave with convection functionality, and countertop dishwasher. Please note: there is no full-size oven. A cozy bistro-style dining area for two sits adjacent to the kitchen, while the living area features all-new designer furnishings and a plush queen Tempur-Pedic sleeper sofa for additional guests. A large mounted flat-screen TV provides the perfect spot for relaxing after a day in Seaside, and a Juliet balcony overlooks the sandy footpath below.

With the beach just 194 feet away, downtown Seaside only one block away, and a stylish renovation from top to bottom, Sunrise offers the best of the Seaside experience. Spend your days walking to the beach, exploring local shops and restaurants, or simply enjoying the cottage’s private outdoor spaces. Then return to a beautifully redesigned retreat where comfort, convenience, and classic Seaside charm come together.

A Good Experience

We really enjoyed the house! It was clean and in a great location. The house address shares with another house on the same property which confused us, but we figured it out pretty quickly. I would stay here again with my husband and two girls!

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: Booked for a last minute getaway. The location was PERFECT - I can’t imagine a better spot to be. Wonderful, easy communication with management company by text before, during and after my stay. This property had a stovetop but no oven or dishwasher. That wasn’t a problem for us because we had so many options within walking distance for all of our meals. Definitely would stay in SUNRISE again.

Sunrise Needs TLC

Rating Details: The property manager was more than helpful. The vacation rental was very clean. I was more than happy with the location. I was somewhat dissatisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We stayed in this cottage six years ago and again last week. A few pieces of furniture may have been changed since our last stay but to say it has been "newly refurbished" or "updated" in not accurate. The outdoor shower is in disrepair. The WiFi never worked while we visited so we were unable to change the thermostat the entire stay. The cottage is in a great location and with some TLC and true updates we would visit again.
Response from VrboOwner on 6 October 2023

We appreciate your loyalty as a returning guest and apologize for any discrepancies in the description of the property's refurbishment.

Disappointing service

Rating Details: The property manager was very unhelpful. 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 had no wi-fi and the TV did not work. When this was pointed out to Homeowner’s Collection, they kept sending other wi-fi codes for surrounding properties and never fixed the issue the entire stay. I was forced to try to work from a spotty hot spot on my phone. We were never offered a resolution or any attempt to make it right. Unacceptable given the rates charged and the lack of basic services.
Response from VrboOwner on 6 October 2023
I want to extend my sincerest apologies for the inconvenience you experienced during your stay due to the lack of Wi-Fi and non-functional TV. This is not the level of service we aim to provide, and we deeply regret the frustration it caused. Your concerns have been noted, and we are actively working to address these issues to ensure they do not occur in the future. We understand the importance of reliable amenities, especially when it comes to work-related needs. We apologize for the inconvenience and lack of timely resolution during your stay. Your feedback is invaluable to us, and we appreciate you bringing this to our attention. We hope you might consider giving us another chance in the future, as we are committed to providing a much-improved experience.

Sunrise

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was happy with the location. I was satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: This is one of several trips to Seaside, a place we love.We wanted beach, and wanted to get away from our neighborhood fireworks craziness for the weekend.But, safe to say I will never visit Seaside during 4th of July weekend again. Nuts!The chaos of teens/tweens and the police everywhere trying to babysit was disturbing. We still love Seaside, but will avoid holidays. Lesson learned.Property management staff were outstanding!!!Sunrise provided a nice place to land for a few days.Only complaint I have is the first floor bed. The space is tight and the edges of the bedframe stick out and pose a trip hazard at minimum. I hit the corner once, but managed to stay upright. My husband hit it a couple times. This should be given attention.Pictures to follow as I am not able to attach to this comment space.
Response from VrboOwner on 17 July 2024
Beverly, Seaside is a lovely destination for sure. Thank you for taking time to share details & suggestions for Sunrise cottage. The Homeowners Collection team appreciates the positive review on service.& cleanliness and we hope to welcome you back to Seaside in the future. I will reach out to our Quality Control Manager regarding the bedframe. We are terribly sorry about the disruption around the July 4th festivities. We are having meetings with Town Council and Seaside Community Development Corporation. We take this seriously and hope to make new improvements right away. Please come back. Be safe and enjoy your summer!

Nice, Basic Getaway

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: Sunrise cottage was a fine little destination for perhaps a is quite small. There were no sheets for the pull out couch, so our preteen daughter just slept on her own blanket on the sofa, not a big deal. Its proximity to the beach pavilion, about four homes away from access as well as the commercial center of Seaside, is its best feature and we enjoyed that. Seaside itself has undergone changes since we last stayed. Roaming teens throughout are generally well behaved, but tables were filthy, lines were long, food was overpriced and garbage was smelly. The town needs to hire more cleanup people when rentals are at peak. Traffic is a nightmare, but the beach itself was great. Sunrise owner needs to fix the french door stability upstairs as a storm came through and the doors flew open at 5am. But... accommodations were adequate. (PS Not a good place to stay if you have an issue with stairs). We are used to staying in the larger homes, so take this review with a grain... it's a fine little guest house.

Pretty renovation but needs some tweaks

Rating Details: The property manager was more than helpful. The vacation rental was very clean. I was happy with the location. I was satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We love the interior of this unit, very comfortable and pretty and updated. The location was close to the beach and Seaside proper. The unit itself could use more storage for clothing, and more towel racks. The new dishwasher was not hooked up so it was inoperable. The kitchen was nicely appointed but there was no hot water at the kitchen sink so doing dishes was not easy. Also, the parking spot is very small in front of the unit and blocks the path for entering and exiting with bags/luggage, parking bikes, etc. There was a pullout couch, but no sheets or blankets to use with the pullout.
