First time last time
The location of this property was great, the decor in the house was nice. However, there is no Wi-Fi and there are only smart TVs in the house so there’s no way to watch anything which was frustrating and I couldn’t do my work. When I checked in, there was a hair on one of the pillows on the bed and a hair in the shower.The AC struggled working, I was able to open windows, but then one of the windows broke which was addressed and fixed and then after that, I couldn’t get the window to stay open. There were issues with the door being able to be open from the stairs, I would have to walk back down three flights of stairs just to use the elevator, so there was a constant back-and-forth with that which was frustrating, it was my first time staying in Seaside and I will be sticking to watercolor.

Cute condo
Condo was clean and beachy with great views of the ocean and the market square. We enjoyed making breakfasts here and hanging out on the balcony looking at the ocean and people watching.However the bed was so hard and uncomfortable so we didn’t sleep well (and my husband usually likes a firm bed). I reached out to the VRBO after sleeping on the bed the first night and asked for a mattress pad or something to help. They responded quickly but unfortunately they didn’t have a mattress pad.There is no washer/dryer (as it says in the description) but we ended up needing to wear sweaters etc a couple times due to the fluctuations in weather temps here (but the closest laundromat is 20 min away). Condo is near many restaurants, shops, ice cream and a little grocery store within walking distance, food trucks, gorgeous beach with white sand. Nice walking/biking paths.

Best Sunset in Seaside
I've been renting places down here for 30 years and this is the best little find ever. Obviously it's small but it was just my son and I for his fall break. The sunset view from the balcony is the best I've ever seen. Right in the heart of Seaside and a pitching wedge from Bud&Alley's and Great Southern. Modica Market has everything you need. I'ts perfect just needs a better bed!

Couples retreat
We loved Close to Eden for our trip! It was the best location and view. We could see the ocean from the main room and the view from the patio was amazing. We enjoyed the less than 5 minute walk to the beach and the proximity to all the shops and restaurants. Close to Eden made for a relaxing retreat for our vacation!

Great Location
My husband and I loved the location of this property. The view was even better than expected. The only drawbacks were the lack of a designated parking spot and also the spiral staircase is not ideal. Fortunately we are active seniors and didn’t have much of an issue. Overall we had a wonderful stay! As a side note, when checking out, I inadvertently left my medications behind under the bathroom sink. Didn’t realize it until hours later when unpacking. The wonderful staff found them, secured them, and shipped them promptly to my home back in Texas…..crisis avoided. Thanks a million!

Outstanding location in the heart of seaside! Was a great long weekend getaway local for us. The views were amazing especially for Seaside-ocean views are rare. Views from every room. Easy access to the ocean, shops and restaurants. Upgraded bathrooms were beautiful. Plenty of space for two people throughout. Challenges included: Parking (there is no dedicated parking), location for outside trash disposal (description was vague).

Close to Power Wash Thursday Eden
Not worth the money spent. Needed Lots of repairs to bathrooms. Every week, including Thursday mornings at 6:15am the town power washed the sidewalks directly outside/below these condos. No noise ordinance exists for this area, according to the local police. The property manager pretended it was unusual, but it is not. Other property owners said they have been complaining for years.

Great location in Seaside
The location is very good and convenient. There was an issue with the key not working to get inside the building. We were finally able to get in after continuing to jiggle the key (this was a 20-30 minute process). We learned that this had already been an issue and they let everyone know not to lock the building. I believe they are getting an entire new lock. The condo was fine. It would have been nice had a few extras (like sugar, salt and pepper, etc.) were provided. We did use the bikes that came with the condo. We would stay here again.

Close to Eden
This was a girls trip and the size, amenities and location to everything we could want was just perfect. I did want to make you aware that the French doors upstairs would not stay closed during the torrential weather we head. In fact, my friend ended up using her purse strap to keep them shut so that we could sleep. Also- and this is beyond your control but may be worth mentioning- the noise level after 9:00 pm was terrible and every night. I am all about young people having fun, but it could be a deterrent for future rentals. Especially older ones who enjoy their sleep :). Anyway- thanks again for providing a lovely landing place for a relaxing time away.

Great location!
The views of the ocean are beautiful but also you get to experience of the town Seaside from a whole new vantage point. There is a Farmers Market on Saturdays. This place was the best place to watch a sunset. The bed is firm. The couch is cozy. There are 2 toilets which is nice. It’s a slice of heaven.
