My friends came from other states for a girls week. We are all seniors, and we had a wonderful time. The cottage was exactly as described and more. Convenient to everything. Perfect place to relax and enjoy ourselves.

I’ve been coming the Seaside since I was a kid and this was my favorite vacation rental to date. Kathy has thought of everything. The outdoor space was a huge hit with our daughters. They adored the playhouse, loved making smores in the fire pit and looked forward to our evening hot tub soaks. The inside was clean and cozy. We enjoyed movie and game nights almost every night. Beds were comfy too. The short walk to the beach was great. We loved being close the blue mat for easy and quick access to the beach with our small kids. Kathy was very responsive and kind with all our questions and needs. Highly recommend and would love to return!

We stay here every year for Portland to Coast! It has plenty of room, close to the Prom and has a hot tub which is so amazing for our aching bodies after the relay! Kathy is amazing to work with. She is so kind and helpful. We’ll be back next year!

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at the cottage while visiting Seaside to compete in the Annual Seaside Beach volleyball tournament! Kathy was very communicative and kind throughout the booking, stay and check out. The house is conveniently located just off the promenade, and a short 10 minute walk to the main roundabout in downtown Seaside. It’s tucked into a quieter residential side of Seaside, which has its benefits when you are recovering from a long day of competitive volleyball and ready for a good night sleep. The hot tub was an added bonus for our recovery - it was clean, hot and large enough for our bigger group to enjoy. Kathy provides everything you need for your stay. We appreciated the thoughtfulness and care she puts into ensuring guests are set up for success - from abundant kitchenware and toiletries, to gear for beach activities and play time at the house. We absolutely loved the ping pong table! 10/10 stars - would absolutely book again. Thanks for a great stay, Kathy!

We loved this wonderful beach house in Seaside! Seaside is a fantastic location, 15 or so minutes from Cannon, Ecola and Indian Beach (our favorite visit at sunset!), but just off the busy “prom” beach trail so lots of privacy and seclusion. Walkable (I highly recommend bringing bikes/e-bikes), it’s about two football-fields walk from the golden sand and gorgeous water and all the sand dollars you can carry! The house itself was perfect for us and our 3 kids - tons of room to spread out, big tv and ping pong in “rec room” allowed us to watch our own movie in the family room every night. All in all perfect, will definitely go back!

This home is just down the block from a trail through the sand dunes to the beach. There is also a short trail that leads to the Promenade (which provides a straight walk to the Seaside Aquarium, about 10 minutes, and downtown, about 12) and a beach bathroom and accessible beach trail. The neighborhood was very quiet for most of our stay. The house has many nice features and thoughtful additions. There is a firepit with plenty of chairs, roasting sticks, lots of wood and kindling, and lighters. The hot tub holds six and was greatly enjoyed by all. There's a nice patio table with an umbrella. There are several little outdoor tables and chairs on decks around the house. One of them came in handy for cleaning clams. We were so excited to get shellfish licenses and use the clamming equipment stored in the shed to get our limit of razor clams down across the river channel! We wished we'd had time to go crabbing at the nearby bridge with the crab traps. The inside had enough comfy beds or hide-a-beds to hold nine of us. Two bathrooms with showers and tubs. Plenty of hot tub towels and bath towels. Plenty of shampoo, etc, and detergents in the kitchen. The kitchen has great appliances and is very well stocked. We did a lot of cooking and also used the nice gas grill outside. There are lots of board games, a ping pong table, a game table, extra sweatshirts in the closets, and a nice ocean decorating theme. I can't think of anything that was lacking! We would love to stay again!

From the moment we arrived we felt at home. The Cottage by the Sea is absolutely charming and Kathy and Wayne are wonderful hosts. The house is totally stocked and repeatedly we would say, “ I bet Kathy has it”, if we were missing anything and she did!!! It was perfect for our family of three (including a teenager) and my mom. We were also joined by another family friend and her teenaged daughter for part of the trip. More than enough room for all of us! The beds were super comfy and we enjoyed cooking together most evenings. The outdoor space is like an outdoor living room and we took full advantage of it as the weather was perfect! (The hot tub is a great perk!!!) The beach is just a short walk as is the promenade which is so convenient. We absolutely loved our time at the Cottage by the Sea and can’t wait to go back soon!

Cute cottage, so close to the water. Very close to downtown Seaside. We enjoyed relaxing in the hot tub after our excursions. Has great amenities and loved being able to wash our clothes, wished i packed lighter! 100% recommend. Great communication with host. Thank you again for sharing your home with us.
