Great location and beautiful weather. The property needs some attention. Ice maker was not working even after 3 service calls. Dishwasher needed a re-set. TVs need to be updated. Window air conditioner is duck taped. Ceiling in den needs repair. To charge the rates that you do for the property, some updates and repairs need to take place.

The perfect getaway!

My husband and I stayed in the About Time for our anniversary trip. The cottage was cute, clean, and comfortable! The bed was amazing. The porch overlooking the ocean was perfect. The location was amazing, too! We were able to walk to everything in Seaside from the cottage. This was a perfect stay!

September getaway

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was somewhat dirty. 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: I feel like the property could be better taken care of especially for the price. The full bath had mold around the shower door, the couch in the living room was covered in stains and sugar ants in the kitchen. There was a temporary window AC unit taped into a bedroom window as well. I’m not sure I would stay here again even with the home’s great views and location based on its overall condition.

Love the honeymoon cottages at Seaside

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 not been to Seaside for around six years so were wondering if we would still like it—after a connecting flight and an hour from the airport. We loved it. All of the honeymoon cottages are a little different and At Last! did not disappoint. Being Gulf Front is the number one attraction. The weather was colder than expected so having a view of the water from a warm inside was key. The furnishings are very attractive and comfortable. The kitchen is on the mini side—so don't plan on making elaborate is fine for simple breakfast and lunch. My wish would be that the management provide a few small staples—salt, pepper, sugar, Sweet and Low (or sim) and unlimited dishwashing tabs (two is not enough). We highly recommend.

Our stay 2023

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: My husband and I took a 10 year anniversary trip here by ourselves. We loved the location and design of the About Time cottage and we love Seaside! This cottage was in mediocre condition, and we were slightly disappointed. The bathroom cabinet had some kind of black dusty substance stained on it, the towel rack was broken, and the place just needed some general maintenance. There is no washer/dryer which we knew ahead of time, but there was a space in the “closet” where they used to be. It was crowded with a shelf, cleaning supplies, etc making the space completely unusable. There was not a place to hang full length clothes because of this. To top off our stay, the place was infested with ants. Not just a few here and there, they were everywhere. We were given some Raid spray to help, but it did nothing to solve the issue. It was explained that there had been an abnormal amount of rain which makes pest issues worse. I get that, but this was not just a small issue. It needed several treatments back to back in order to get rid of them. We were given a discount because of our experience which we very much appreciate. We were just hoping for a better overall experience.

Weekend Get Away

We came for a weekend away after a hectic beginning of the year. This was the perfect location! Walk out to the beach, walk into town, and a quick drive to any other area along 30A. The cottage was perfect for us, easy check in and communication with hosts, easy check out. The perfect deck was amazing for getting breakfast to go and enjoying out there. Same for watching sunsets. This was the best!!

Location is excellent, but About Time needs some attention

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: THis cottage--About Time--is in an excellent location! So close to everything. The balcony over-looking the beach/ocean is one of the best things about it. THe table & chairs and the railings need some work--they are falling apart.THe closets are short,so if you have long dresses or men's jackets, they don't fit.The window air conditioner in the bedroom is VERY noisy--every time it kicks on, it wakes you up.I also had a 2-inch cockroach crawl across my face one night. I swept it away--jumped out of bed to grab my phone light to find it. It was under my pillow. I captured it with toilet paper and smashed it--those suckers are hard to kill!Had to buy additional hangers for room and kleenex for each bath, because those weren't provided.I like the cottages because of their location, but I'll pick a different one next time.

Great time!

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: About Time was a great cottage. It is a small one bedroom with 2 stories so be prepared to go up and down stairs a lot. If that is a problem then this is not the cottage for you. We really enjoyed it. The cottage was clean and housekeeping was great with bringing more towels. There were some ants in the bedroom on bottom floor but not that it was a nuisance. The view was wonderful and it is right next to the beach access.
