The seaside carriage house was so quaint, very well maintained, and its location, relative to everything in town, cannot be beat. An added benefit was its close proximity to the private Odessa beach, which you receive access to and can get to in just a few steps, right across the street.The hosts were very communicative and are quick to walk you through the in's-and-out's of seaside living. Generally, you will be met by a host's representative upon arrival. They will give you your key(s), parking pass (very important!), and for newcomers, let you know where things are around town. The only thing to note is what has already been mentioned by others. This is a sqft restricted 2 story floor plan. This results in a particularly tight downstairs' master suite with a queen sized bed, drawers, master bath, laundry, and not much room for luggage/storage. The space has everything you need but just be aware this first floor walking-room-only setup is best for singles/couples. After the initial shock (lack of storage space), my wife and I adjusted just fine and were so sad to leave. We will definitely be back. Seaside is a great little town and the carriage house is excellent for couples/singles looking to experience Seaside's laid back beach life.
