Welcome to Risa’s Cottage, a charming guest retreat tucked away on Seaside’s quieter West side, just nine cottages down from the iconic Seaside Chapel. Perfect for couples or small families, this quaint one-bedroom, one-bathroom cottage comfortably sleeps two adults and up to two small children. Nestled behind the main house, Life is Good, the cottage is accessed via a private footpath that leads to an arbor gate surrounded by mature trees and lush landscaping, offering a sense ofseclusion and peace. A designated parking space right in front of the home adds ease to your stay.

Inside the gated courtyard, you’ll find thoughtful outdoor touches, including a newly added boardwalk, comfortable patio seating, and subtle ground lighting to guide you safely after dark. The furnished front porch features tall Adirondack chairs and a garden stool—perfect for sipping your morning coffee or winding down with a glass of wine at dusk. The surrounding yard provides a bit of open space for little ones to play while you relax. Guests also enjoy exclusive use of a private enclosed laundry area and an outdoor shower, ideal after a long day at the beach. A propane grill is available for evening cookouts, and bicycles can be stored safely inside the courtyard.

Step inside to a bright, airy living and dining space with a queen-sized sleeper sofa, built-in dining nook, and a Smart TV. For casual meals, two cleverly designed coffee tables convert into tray tables for sofa-side dining. The compact, well-equipped kitchen features a Sub-Zero refrigerator/freezer, induction cooktop, built-in microwave, and a small sink—everything you need to prepare breakfast or a light meal. Just off the living space, the queen bedroom offers soft natural light, dual nightstands, and a private full bath with a shower and bench seat. A built-in closet provides storage with drawers and hanging space, while original artwork adds a personal touch throughout. Whether you're enjoying the calm of your private porch, the convenience of walkable Seaside, or the charm of this peaceful hideaway, Risa’s Cottage offers an ideal escape for your beachside getaway.

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Risa's Cottage was perfect for our family of 4. We were able to walk to the beach, pool and restaurants with our two toddlers. The house is small, but having the outdoor patio for storage of our beach stuff was great. Our oldest slept on the sleeper couch and we were able to fit a pack n play next to the bed in the bedroom.

    What a lovely spot. Please be aware that the space is small but you are welcome to use the outdoor living space so it seems bigger!! Everybody is clean and bright. Seating at the table is tight but doable. No dishwasher hence the 4 star in accuracy. We used the grill to cook out, laundry is clean and close. We loved the outdoor shower!! In a quiet part of Seaside with lovely neighbors! I would move in if I could! Close to the beach and to the shops. Lovely vacation in a stunning g spot! We will be back!

    Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: The rental was very clean and quiet. It is perfect for a couple. It has a very nice patio and convenient laundry access. The a/c unit was very loud outside and could be heard in bathroom, but it didn’t impact the stay. If one uses the hide a bed for a guest, note that it takes up entire living room, and you cannot ambulate around it.

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We loved Risa’s cottage! It’s a small place but the location was perfect and VERY quiet. We sat out on the generous sitting porch where we enjoyed coffee in the morning. The outside shower is large and convenient for a good rinse after a day at the beach. About a 5 min walk to the shops, dining, & entry to the beach.
