In the very early days of Seaside, town architect Richard Gibbs and his partner chose to design and build their private cottage in the woods just as Forest Street was beginning to be developed. Way Back is their original and renovated cottage in this heralded beach community. Among the most frequently rented and beloved one-bedroom Seaside cottages over the years, tranquil and private Way Back retains its Seaside architectural authenticity.

Stayed Sep 13, 2025My wife and I (plus our 8 month old) stayed for 2 nights in this lovely Seaside Cottage/Tiny house. It was exactly as described. It is small and cozy - has everything you need for an enjoyable weekend. It is within the Seaside community and you get access to all amenities. The cottage was comfy and very clean. Also, shout out ot the shower, which had excellent water pressure. The vacation rental company was the best I've seen yet - super responsive, texted all the info on time, and honestly, there is nothing negative that can be said. 5/5 stars

Stayed May 31, 2025Home is cute and sweetly stocked take home goodies. Bring your own K cups if you want to brew coffee at house. It very much is a tiny home so you have to get creative on where to unpack / store luggage. Location cannot be beat! Easy breezy walk to anywhere you want to go in the Seaside shopping/dining/beach area. Also backs up to WaterColor and easy walk to their boathouse for paddle boarding.

I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We had a great experience. The home is indeed tiny, with just one bathroom (upstairs with the bedroom), and there is no dishwasher; however, the home is very cute and well appointed. The front yard space is generous, and the unit is very comfortable.

Stayed Jul 3, 2024Small but perfect 2 person stay in Seaside. Ideal location walking distance to beach. Nussled inbetween two larger houses this property has everything you need and more to include heated bathroom floors. You may not have room to host a dinner party but all other amenities made up for it!

I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: My husband and I stayed next door to our daughter and her family, so we couldn’t have found a better location to be able to help them with their babies. We also liked being in at the back of HC property for the quietness and privacy. It wasn’t very far to walk to the shop, amphitheater, food trucks/restaurants and the beautiful beach!
