Dirty Dated Destination
Loved our time in Seaside but the property was dirty. I sent two emails stating the issue and the fact that I did not want to leave a review. Two weeks later and still no contact back from Cottage Rental. Come on guys - you are better organization than that....

There was an issue with the bed, but they fixed it right away. Beautiful location, beautiful cottage to stay in ~
I arrived after hours while it was dark outside. I had a hard time finding the actual unit I rented. No one explained how that property was divided, or where the actual unit I rented was located.
The internet was an issue. Wasn’t able to use my Wifi devices because the main house was also using this same router. Caused an issue with data plans on my phones . Suggest a stronger router
We had a small cottage but was very clean. Checked in early. Lots of things to do in the town as well as on property

Very cute and cozy!
The cottage was decorated well and very comfortable for a couple or a family with small children
Cottage Rental Agency did a wonderful job. Our location for the condo was great but the furniture was very old and dated. It has enough positive so that we enjoyed our trip but all the furniture needs to be replaced.

Cute cottage but the rental agency is a pain to deal with.
We enjoyed the cottage, other than the bed being broken and very uncomfortable, but in their defense we didn't report it. Initially Amanda Nelson the manager tried to have us stay in a one room place, with only a bed- no kitchen or living area. It was very difficult to get the rental switched, even though this isn't the type rental I payed for. Everything was difficult relating to the rental agency- terrible customer service. Beware & rent with caution.
You wear a booking at watercolors through hotels.cyou wear a booking at watercolors through Hotels.com
I paid a little more to ensure that I would have a nicer cottage. My husband and I were put in a very very small efficiency that was the size of a large closet. It's called Sienna. Thought I was being charge 175 a night was charged almost 300 a night. I was told that since I booked on Hotels.com I was stuck with this room. Uncomfortable double bed above a store. Would never book with Hotels.com for Watercolors again. It is very apparent that they take advantage of Hotel.com customers. Water colors is a wonderful place but beware of booking through Hotels.com. I felt taken advantage of by the cottage rental agency. I was
given the runaround no one would help or take responsibility for the booking. My room was advertised as a one bedroom it was an outdated effiviency closet. Did you have a cost with almost twice what was advertised in the room who has less than a fourth of what was advertised.
Thought we had booked a small cottage "standard cottage" instead it was a very small studio over a store. It was so small we had to take turns moving around the room.
Sweet Magnolia II cottage was perfect! It was spotless, well maintained, comfortable and convenient. We enjoyed the bikes, the front swing, and the screened porch. It was a perfect get-a-way!
We arrived around 1:30 and asked if we could check-in early. I wouldn't mind if they said the room wouldn't be ready but they said they were cleaning it now and it would be ready shortly. Based on this we waited around instead of going to the beach. Two hours later they called and said the room was ready. It was hard to find because it is behind another house on the street. The house had a car parked in front of it's sign so we ended up driving around the block. The path to the house is dimly lit and partially blocked by bikes. They didn't tell us the room was upstairs so we tried the code they gave us and it worked on the downstairs door. This room did not have a refrigerator as shown on our reservation so I called the rental agency to ask about it. She said that since we booked through Expedia we would have to take it up with them. Apparently she told someone else this in her office who realized the mistake and a nice man showed up shortly thereafter to explain that we were supposed to be in the top room. We repacked and moved. The new room did have what we expected. The bed was nice. The shower is tiny but had good water pressure. The room came with access to a private beach which was a short walk. The weather was perfect and the water was calm and seaweed free which was nice.
My husband and I were traveling for a wedding at Santa Rosa Beach. The Beach Bungalow was the perfect place for us to stay! It was so refreshing not to be at a typical hotel. The gentleman at check in was so kind! He knew we had traveled all day and gave us some great restaurant ideas of places we could go without getting back into the car! Also 2 complimentary bottles of wine and beach bag filled with goodies! We loved being across the street from the most beautiful beach (bring your own beach chairs for short visits, not worth the rental) and the adult pool was fantastic. It was a short visit but worth the extra you pay in the taxes and fees. The area has great restaurants and cute shops and you can walk to everything!
To celebrate turning 60, my husband and I rented a small guest cottage for 2 at Seaside, the home of years of vacations with our three sons and now their wives. We have stayed in numerous properties in Seaside, but having our own little 2-story, 2 room cottage was a rare treat. We almost never bike in the summer because it is too hot, so February was perfect for long bike rides, tennis and brisk walks on the beach. I had never rented with hotels.com, but was pleasantly surprised at their Price Match and welcome package upon our arrival.

Needs a little attention...................
Perfect spot for the event that I had to attend. But a bit beat up. Blinds broken up stairs and in kitchen.
Also $258.00 dollars for ???added to the bill was extreme.Jim Bodkin
