Great location

The location of this property was excellent. The walkway to the beach is right across the road and it is only a pleasant 1/2 mile walk to the middle of Seaside. It had plenty of beds and room for my family of 5. This is an older house, so if you are looking for that fancy Seaside beach house this one is not for you. However, it is very clean and well maintained. We would stay there again.

Perfect Place

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Nightcap Cottage was the perfect location. Easy access to the beach. The house was very clean upon arrival. The beach chairs were in great condition. Just a 10-minute walk to or a 5-minute bike ride Seaside. I highly recommend using FunVacay and this rental.

The property needs to be updated. There was only one usuable beach chair. The front door lock was stuck and we couldn't use the frint door for 3 days. There was a pile of junk in the back storage area and the frint porch chairs were broken

Senior Trip

We chose this property for its location because parking can be difficult at Seaside. We were able to park our vehicles and not use them again the entire week. Everything was close enough to walk, bike or ride a golf cart. We didn’t have to take a bunch of stuff with us to the beach because we could just walk to the house to get food and drinks. If you are petty about noise this may not be the house for you. There is a lot of traffic and teens on the street which did not bother us since we also have young adult children. You do have to walk through a bedroom to get to a bathroom so plan accordingly when picking your room. There was plenty of room to park 2 vehicles and 2 golf carts. We could have parked more vehicles there if needed. I do wish there was a covered porch area to sit outside when it rained and a half bath that was not in a bedroom, but at least you have hot water in the outdoor shower. We would definitely rent this house again.
