This was our 3rd year staying at Idlewild and we absolutely love it. Its a perfect location being a super short walk to the beach, pool and town square along with being on the sand path to the back side of the square. We love the outdoor shower that leads into the hall shower, great when coming off the beach. Everything is functional, very clean, comfy beds and couches, full bath for each bedroom, love the porch and all the seating, lots of sand toys, board games, good layout with bedrooms. We've stayed at other homes in Seaside and look at different houses every year but always return here, its really hard to beat. The host is super responsive and easy to work with, super easy check in and out.

We absolutely loved staying at this property! It was clean, comfortable, and conveniently located near Seaside’s town center. The host was extremely easy to communicate with, and we had a great experience. Would definitely return and recommend!

We had never been to Seaside so I checked through lots of listings and review comments trying to find the best location and boy am I glad I did. The home was perfect for us! Right across the street from the beach and just a couple blocks from the city center. Having all the fun within walking distance was a life saver. My teenagers were able to go do things nearby in the evenings and anyone could come and go to the beach during the day as needed. We enjoyed walking over to get food from the food trucks and cafes and even stopped in the market for snacks and drinks here and there. So nice it was all close by!The house was comfortable for our family of six adults. (16,18, 24,24, and us parents) Everything seemed high quality and it had all we needed. The house was very clean and really felt like a home. We really enjoyed sitting out on the large porch to eat or chat. We plan to return to Seaside many more times and would definitely stay here again.
