Downtown Beach Cottage - Clean, 2 bed/2bath - Dog friendly-3 blks from beach.

This was a great place to stay. Great location and dog friendly.

This house is in a great location, an easy walk to the Promenade and the beach, but also in a quiet neighborhood with little traffic. The host was easy to communicate with and helpful when we had questions. The house is clean and, except as noted below, well-maintained. The fenced yard is great for travelers with dogs.There are some limitations, however, that weren’t obvious to us from the listing. Both bedrooms are upstairs, and the stairway is steep and challenging for anyone with any mobility impairment. Our dog is elderly, and one look at the stairs made it obvious that he wouldn’t be able to go up or down without significant risk. Since he is used to sleeping in a room with at least 1 human, I decided to sleep downstairs. Fortunately there is a new sofa bed that was comfortable.Our daughter and her partner had no problems going up and down the stairs.The gas fireplace can’t be used, and several of the lighting fixtures weren’t working. This meant that there was no reading light downstairs.WiFi was inconsistent and seemed to have a weak signal. When I asked the host about this, he said it’s a problem anywhere in Seaside. That may be true, but I was able to get a stronger WiFi signal in a couple of locations I tried.

Adorable small cottage in perfect location for restaurants, grocery store, beach and still quiet location. Excellent check in instructions. Michael was so sweet offering to send my left clothes in the closet. Just beware of steep stairs. Everything was spotless and plentiful! Would love to stay again!

I like a lot about our stay at this cute little house. I liked that it was pet friendly, I liked that one bedroom had an onsuite bathroom. I liked that it had a fenced yard. What I didn’t like is there is no AC, just one box fan. Also the sliding door to the balcony upstairs doesn’t work and my check out experience was more then unpleasant. We were there for a soccer tournament. We stayed Friday-Sunday and check out was at 11am. We had a game at 9:20am so I packed up all our stuff before we had to leave for the game that way if the game went long I wouldn’t still have stuff in the house. Our game finished at 10:20am so my kids and I walked back to the house just to use the bathroom and chill for a little until our next game. When we arrived back at the property at about 10:35am the owner was inside the house already cleaning. Beds had been stripped, all towels collected, entire downstairs vacuumed. Thinking he showed up very quickly after we left for soccer. Shocked by someone being there I asked “don’t we have the property until 11am” The owner responded with “yes, but I saw your car wasn’t here (although it was parked right in front on the street) and all your stuff was packed. Moving forward after that he just wasn’t very polite. Seemed to be bothered that we arrived back. Made a comment about not bringing sand in like it was an issue or something. I mean we have four kids and a pup at a beach house, of course there’ll be sand. Just not pleasant. Won’t be returning.
