Historic home one block to beach with sunroom, porch swing, & amazing locale

Love the spaciousness combined with the great character of the historic home. It was very comfortable and had everything we needed for an awesome stay!

The Mandalay House was wonderful! We had a group of seven, but there was room for more. Plenty of room for spreading out…board games, puzzles, conversation. The 120-year-old home was full of charm - yes, even the creaky floorboards! We loved reading all about its history in the scrapbook. The proximity to the prom and beach was ideal. We were disappointed with the lack of cleanliness of the dishes and serving items. Everything else seemed very clean and well cared for. Since we visited in November, the extra blankets in the living room came in handy. A few extra switch-on lights to illuminate the deck stairs and driveway would be a plus. Thank you for a great week!

This place was an absolute delight!!! The location is a block from the beach, straight to the dunes. Lots of sand dollars to find and nice sand to play in. The house has everything you could need! Board games and toys for the kids, all the necessary kitchen appliances, as well as bathroom needs! The sunroom is delightful and perfect for lounging. The front swing was a perfect hang spot. It is very spacious and absolutely adorable!!! We look forward to staying again in the future!!

This spacious home was perfect for our family. It’s in the perfect spot to where you can walk to the beach and shopping/restaurants. I would definitely stay in this home again!

This was my first VRBO reservation, and I’m so happy with the experience! The home was rustic and charming. My kids loved it, and it was in the perfect location (close to the shops/restaurants and the beach). Would absolutely stay here again. Only issue we had was no dish soap to wash things that weren’t dishwasher safe.

There were 4 adults and 3 kids. Was perfect for our family. One bedroom down stairs with private bath and half bath also downstairs. Four nice size bedrooms upstairs with a full bath. We had dinner outside one night. Deck is beautiful as well as the new landscape. I might add the kids had legos and lots of games. We would definitely stay in this old charming home again.

Everything we needed and more for a comfortable stay. 1 bedroom down stairs with private bath and 1/2 bath also downstairs. 4 bedrooms all up stairs were roomy and beds were all comfortable along with a full bath. Super convenient location! We would stay there again.

This old house has lots of space and easy access to the beach. The bones of the house creak and crack at every step. We loved it, but our little one did have some trouble sleeping. We’ll still be back because it’s a great place overall.

We couldn't have been happier staying at this VRBO in Seaside. The location is absolutely perfect for beach and walking downtown. The front porch is wonderful. Any questions we had were answered very promptly. We really enjoyed our stay.

I was pleased with the hoise.

This property was fantastic. The house is gorgeous (and the pictures accurately reflected that) and was perfectly located for what we needed to get to and do while in Seaside. We had a wonderful visit and wouldn’t hesitate to book again for our next Seaside trip!

The location was close to the beach and large enough for 6 adults to enjoy a retreat together. The enclosed porch was a wonderful place to read each morning.

We had a wonderful time and loved the ambience of the house. It was clean, perfect location from beach to downtown. We had a large group and we were all very comfortable. I gave a 3 rating because the issues that other people stated in reviews still were not fixed. The upstairs toilet handle is very temperamental and falls off so easily. We could not get the dishwasher to work. It started through a cycle but then turned off or could not get it started at all. This was also a complaint from previous reviews. We ended up washing dishes by hand the whole weekend which wasn’t terrible but it’s such a beautiful commercial dishwasher was a shame we couldn’t use it. But, even after all that we would stay there again. And the management company needs to remedy the issues.

This is a great rental and such an adorable home! The location is so good, a block to the beach and a few blocks to shopping. Grocery, gas and outlet mall are just a few mins away. We had a great time staying here, we all said (7 of us) we would rent here again. Like other reviews say, it is VERY creaky. The porch swing is the best! We had some trouble running the dishwasher, it didn't want to turn on via the instructions, we all tried. Finally got the top half to run, never could get the bottom to work. The handle on the upstairs toilet falls off, off and on-you just have to put it back on to flush and the floor in front of the upstair toilet is very loose. You stand there and it feels like you might fall through the floor. On our last day, someone was in the upstairs shower and it started leaking through the floor in the kitchen above the island. I called the VRBO manager and they were going to send their local team to fix. None of this is a deal breaker, this house is great! It's old, things happen just like in our day to day homes. We would stay here again in a heartbeat. The beds were very comfortable!

The house was quite charming and fit our needs perfectly. We were in town for a car show and had plenty of safe off-street parking for our classic cars. Plenty of room in the house for our nine adults. We could even all sit at the dinner table comfortably. Never ran out of hot water either! Close walk to Broadway and all of the shops. The floors do squeak but it adds to the charm of the house. We very much enjoyed our stay and would stay there again.

The home is spacious with many nice amenities, including a great location and several nice updates. However, we arrived to find the house not properly cleaned. The recycling hadn’t been emptied, laundry was left in the dryer, and there were old napkins tucked under the kitchen island. Some bedrooms had a faint body odor, and the patio was dirty, with the swing's sheet in disarray. It felt like the cleaners were in a rush and missed key areas. A thorough deep cleaning is definitely needed for this property. Due to these issues, we opted to leave one night early.

We stayed at Oceans Away over Labor Day weekend to attend a wedding in a nearby town. The house was shared by 3 couples and kids and was perfect for us. The 5 bedrooms, large living room, dining room, kitchen and 2 and a half baths made the stay so enjoyable with all the room. A nice surprise were all the toys, puzzles and even yard games available. The house is blocks from the main tourist street which made walking everywhere easy. It's also a few minutes walk from the Promenade and beach. The kitchen had everything needed to cook breakfast in the morning. The space was cozy and felt like a home away from home.

The house is a lovely home. It is located in a central location with sufficient parking and ample space for a larger party or family. We enjoyed it here and would go back.

Decorated so cute. House is very creeky as a older home can be. We had a blast in this place. Playing games, sitting on the porch with our morning coffee. Even cat napped on the really cool swing. Beds very comfy
