    The property is very charming, the perfect beach cottage. It is located very close to the beach which was exactly what we wanted. We would love to stay here again!

    Our family loved staying at this eclectic beach cottage. It’s just a short, easy walk to the beach. It’s also walkable to restaurants and the seaside shops, which was nice because parking isn’t very easy in seaside. Our favorite place to hang out was on the front porch.

    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: Made is the Shade is a blast from the past! It’s a quaint little cottage style that is nicely decorated and very comfortable! Just a short walk to the beach and even with construction work going on close to it really quiet. Every thing was in working order and clean. We really enjoyed our stay!!!

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: This was our first time staying at Made in the Shade cottage. We loved this rental. It reminded us of old Florida. The eclectic decor is so fun. It may be an old cottage, but it magically met all our needs. If you need high gloss, modern, this is not the house for you. But if you love the old Florida style, this house is a gem. The screened in porch is where we spent a lot of time. It is a easy walk to the beach and Seaside. The bedrooms are spacious with comfortable beds. The kitchen is not modern but met our needs. We will definitely return. Love, love, love this cottage.

Public access to beach is right across the street. We biked everywhere (we brought our own bikes and 1 bike at Made in the Shade worked). The house was cute and quirky. We loved the porch and trees. Would love to stay there again!
