My family and I had a wonderful time staying at Whatcha Dune. The house was very comfortable with a well-stocked kitchen and comfortable sleeping arrangements for all 10 of us. We loved being so close to many amenities with short walks to several pools, playgrounds, and basketball courts. We could be in the heart of Seaside in just a few minutes getting ice cream, coffer, or mojitos. It was the perfect house in the perfect location for all of us. Lastly, the rental company was very responsive to all of our questions and always helpful.

The beds and bedding were very comfortable. I cannot say enough about what a perfect location this is-we didn’t even need the bikes because we were almost attached to the square! The family room and kitchen felt bigger than the pictures so that was a wonderful surprise. The ONLY, minor complaints would be the size of the washing machine. We could only fit 2 beach towels OR 3 shower towels in at a time. There were 8 of us beaching it everyday so I spent every night doing at least 3-4 loads of laundry. Also for the price I really would expect plenty of toilet paper, paper towels and garbage bags for our stay. There was one roll for the shared bathroom with 4 people (2 bedrooms), which was gone after 1.5 days. There was less than a full roll of paper towels. When I texted management they said they typically only provide the introductory basic amenities. They did bring more since I asked but I really would expect for there to be a full supply for our time there. I would stay here again but would just request those small amenities to be present from the start.

Reviewer Comments:
This was our second time staying at Whatcha Dune. The house is spacious, has plenty of sleeping space, and I knew it was the perfect fit for our family of 7. It sits a bit farter from the beach than almost any house in Seaside, but it backs up to a quiet wooded area and the outdoor living spaces are great. The added square footage and peaceful setting were the right tradeoff for our crew. The last stay in this particular house was about 6 or so years ago, and not much has changed. There is a ton of the owner's stuff all around the house and there is no storage in the third floor loft area. It seems like this has become a catchall for the things they don't want but don't want to purge. Especially in the kitchen, the clutter takes up the majority of the storage space. We were grateful for the basket of sand toys and the games inside for family fun nights! All in all, we'll definitely stay here again. We are HoCo loyalists, if that is a thing. The quality of homes is head and shoulders above the other management companies.

Great house in a great location in Seaside. Our family enjoyed staying here very much. The upstairs loft is great for young children as long as they can navigate stairs with ease. The upstairs screened in balcony was a great place to relax with good weather.

Wonderful week at Watcha Dune. It’s on the back/quieter side of town but still super close to everything. Only complaint is that with staying a week at the beach with children, washing clothes is a must, and the washer and dryer were the smallest possible.

It was in great shape except for a cabinet door in the kitchen that kept falling off. Clean and well kept. We will definitely be back. Also, we left a pair of AirPods and you guys were able to locate them. :)

We enjoyed our stay in Seaside and it was only enhanced by our stay in this lovely rental. The house had everything we needed and was close to the center of town, shops and the beach was a short walk away. The home is just as pictured and had everything we needed to vacation. The kitchen was well equipped and we were able to eat several meals as a group at the table that seats 8! It was great to be able to spend time at the beach and take quick walks back (10 minutes or so) for breaks from the heat. I would definitely recommend this home and would definitely stay again.
