About this property

Across from Heated Pool, 2 Minutes to Beach, and Newly Renovated. With Gulf View

This beautiful corner unit home is the best of location and design. When you step inside, you are reminded of the sleek styling of a teak-trimmed sailboat.

Best Girls Trip!

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: Girls weekend 2023 in the books! Everything about this was perfect. The carriage house was well appointed and enough space for us to spread out. The front porch was our favorite place to sit in the morning and enjoy the quiet. This is at the end of the street so it’s a quiet spot in Seaside. The two full baths in the carriage was nice as we both had a space to get ready. We walked or rode bikes everywhere we went! The location is central to the beach and downtown Seaside.

Enjoyed our stay at Just For Fun

We loved everything about Just for Fun - especially the location - it’s diagonal to the pool and a brief pleasant walk to the beach or the square. We were able to bring our pet which was so nice - always feels like something is missing when we travel without him. He loved hanging out with us on the balcony and watching people pass by. The layout of the house feels safe with the master on the bottom floor by the entry door and kids areas upstairs. If you decide to bring groceries to cook, be sure to bring everything you need such as spices. Plenty of food options in the area, and if you don’t make reservations there are walk-up places nearby at the square. The only thing I wished we had were beach chairs - $80 plus tip to rent 2 chairs and an umbrella for the day is high. Maybe even add those for guest use. There were beach towels which was nice. Thank you for sharing your vacation home!

Great location

The house is very nice and the location is great. We come to Seaside every year and this was the first time we rented outside of Homeowners or Cottage agency. We've always had very professional service and great communication from those agencies and had some minor issues this time. We booked in January and it took 2 weeks to get a code to rent beach chairs, check-in could have been smoother and was made worse by the passive aggressive, text only communication. There was shattered glass all over the rooftop porch and the front yard when we arrived. Minor improvements and client service training could make a huge difference!

Aweome Seaside Vacation Experience

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: Our entire family had a terrific time at Just For Fun. The location is great - easy walk to the Seaside town square yet away from the traffic and noise of 30A on quiet street. Reserved parking beside house was an added bonus for us never to worry about where to park. We loved the upstairs living area which gave us added privacy with lots of space to spread out. The spacious outdoor porches on three levels gave us many places to spread out. The beds and bedding seemed new and were above average. In addition to the 4 bedrooms with private baths, our grandkids enjoyed the sleeping loft with TV as their own private space for entertainment and sleeping. The kitchen is well equipped and had top of the line appliances. We had several meals outside on the large dining table. Some days we could hear the ocean from the lookout tower with ocean views. We will return!!

It's easy to get to the beach off of Odessa St. The property was clean and described accurately. There were guests in the carriage house but we did not find it to be a disturbance. We already booked another trip here this summer and my parents have booked the carriage house.

Would rent again

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: Tastefully designed and decorated. Furniture and amenities all very high end. Stainless steel appliances in the kitchen. My wife and daughter loved the rooftop sundeck for tanning and we all enjoyed the panoramic view of Seaside and the ocean. Rental is pet friendly but still very clean. Outdoor lounge area is very comfortable to have morning coffee. Had a large family get together, and this rental was big enough to fit everyone. Would rent again.

Pet Friendly Is a Must

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: We prefer to bring our dog on vacation instead of putting her in a kennel so being pet friendly is at the top of our must-have list. The pet fee is more than I'm used to but the agent on the phone explained that it was due to the caliber of homes they have. I understood once we were there. The house is someone's home. It isn't cheaply designed. I can understand that the owner expects to maintain their home at a certain level. Overall, we were very comfortable. It was easy to get to seaside and watercolor so the location was great.
