Quaint Tiny Home
Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: The rental was very clean and quiet. It is perfect for a couple. It has a very nice patio and convenient laundry access. The a/c unit was very loud outside and could be heard in bathroom, but it didn’t impact the stay. If one uses the hide a bed for a guest, note that it takes up entire living room, and you cannot ambulate around it.

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We loved Risa’s cottage! It’s a small place but the location was perfect and VERY quiet. We sat out on the generous sitting porch where we enjoyed coffee in the morning. The outside shower is large and convenient for a good rinse after a day at the beach. About a 5 min walk to the shops, dining, & entry to the beach.

Celebrating 13
The description of this property is accurate, as well as having a few welcome surprises. It is small, but fine for us with our granddaughter celebrating her 13th birthday over the weekend. Super clean, offering high quality household goods! By chance we had the opportunity to meet the owners, who are delightful. Ceiling fans in every room and enough outdoor space. The bikes and bag with beach towels were a bonus! Thank you.

Property was in a perfect location. Very short walk or bike ride from the town center and beach. Cottage had everything we needed. Outdoor shower and laundry were great. Seaside is a beautiful town and we will be back for sure!

Risas's review
Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Overall, very good. Risas Cottage was very clean and well appointed. Small, but just need to know this before renting. Note to owners, while the big day pillows on the bed are nice to view, they take up to much room when setting them aside at night. I'd reccommend not using them. As "newbies" to the area, we did not know it was spring break for the high schools in the neighboring states. The place was packed with teenagers, mostly unsupervised. The Walton County Sheriff dept. did a great job managing a situation that could have been (and was on occasion) out of hand. I wouldn't recommend spring break week. Seaside and neighboring Watercolor are great areas to explore and bike ride. Overall, very positive and would return, but at a different time of year.

Excellent location in lovely community
Seaside is an interesting, lovely concept in an idyllic location. In late October we had the entire town, including beach, almost to ourselves. The cottage worked well for the two of us -- it's well appointed and decorated, but it is smaller than a large room in an upscale hotel chain, so I don't think it would work as well for anything more than a couple or perhaps a family with small children.

Peaceful Private Beach Bungalow
This vacation was set after a grueling volleyball tournament where I didn’t want to think nor did I want to do any problem solving. This property allowed me to be on vacation. It was small but it was perfect. It was tucked in the back and off an alley where there were 2 gates so getting bikes in and out was easy. The house was spotless, and when I say spotless I mean it was the cleanest property I’ve been in. My teenage daughter loved it as did my teenage niece, and quite honestly there is no pleasing those two. They property had a stocked kitchen and bathroom and it was sure easy cook a meal one night as we were exhausted and didn’t want to leave. It was about a 6 minute walk to the town’s center, about a 10 minute walk to the beach where we had private access We utilizes the complimentary bike rentals and those made it about 2-4 minutes to town and the beach. I loved it in this beach bungalow, it was so quiet and peaceful. It allowed me to recharge from the prior week. Communication with the property manager was amazing. They were extremely hospitable, kind, accommodating, and funny. We needing something and they delivered it to the house and interacted with my daughter who couldn’t stop laughing about how funny the person was who made the delivery, she used the words “nicest and funniest person ever”. Great experience will rent again, hopefully soon ❤️
