    We went back and forth for several weeks looking for the perfect house, to bring our family, to enjoy the beach for a few days. Seas the Day, was the PERFECT house! They have thought of everything! The younger kids enjoyed the game room and the older teens and young adults enjoyed the upstairs rooms. The main floor was perfect for hosting and gathering. The hot tub, outdoor scenery, short golf cart rides to the beach were icing on the cake. We will definitely be back! Thank you!!

    This three story house is spacious, comfortable and beautiful. It is laid out perfect for larger families and friends. Equipped with everything you need for a comfortable, fun stay at the beach! Great location for a short walk(or golf cart ride!) to the beach, fun activities for all ages and great restaurants nearby. We stayed for the week of the 4th of July and it was phenomenal watching fireworks from the multiple decks on the house and on the beach. The outdoor shower and hose made cleanup from the beach so quick and easy! Our children had so much fun making s'mores over the fire pit, being taken on golf cart rides, and enjoyed having their own spaces around the house. There are plenty of beach accessories(chairs, umbrellas, coolers, blanket, toys and more) for everyone!The washer and dryer were especially nice to have available for use. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Seas the Day and hope to visit again one day!

    The house was a home away from home! It was clean and decorated very nicely. The beds were comfortable and we alll slept so well. We prepared most of our meals ourselves. I was very pleased with all the little things to make this trip amazing like use of a propane grill, golf cart, beach items and toys and well stocked kitchen. The host was quick to respond to any and all questions we had and was wonderful to work with.

    We had a wonderful time at Seas the Day, Mandy and Joey’s place. The location was perfect, in a quiet and peaceful neighborhood while still close to all the attractions. The outdoor shower was perfect for the beach days and all the beach accessories that were available for use was great! The grill was great for dinners at home, and we enjoyed sitting on the deck in the afternoons listening to the beach. The house itself was the perfect size for our family and the had everything we needed for our week long stay. We can’t wait to come back!

    Seas the Day was perfect for our multi-generational family beach trip! Mandy was very responsive and helpful for all of our questions. The property was decorated so nicely, was immaculately clean and there is plenty of parking. The location is great - convenient to the beach as well as grocery stores and activities. The beach is a short 3 - 5 minute walk. We also enjoyed the playground that was across the street on the sound side - lots of different play equipment there. There were so many little details and extras included that made the week extra special. The use of the golf cart was so much fun for everyone, and it was so nice that all the beach chairs, toys and boogie boards were already there. It was so wonderful to not have to pack sheets and towels, and toilet paper, soap and paper towels were also provided! We enjoyed using the gas grill for dinner and the gas fire pit for s'mores one evening. The kitchen is very well stocked and had everything we needed for making meals and baking. There were plenty of areas for everyone to hang out - whether to watch TV or to read on the porch. I appreciated all the small details - the labels on the light switches, ceiling fans in the upstairs bedrooms, noise machine in the upstairs master, extra fan, extra blankets, the fact that the curtains were large enough to cover the whole window! All those things that gave the comforts of home. We had an amazing time and would definitely stay here again!
