"Xmas at the Beach"Reviewed by Retired and Loving it in January 2012
This was our 6th stay and it was great. Facilities are excellent and view of the beach is the best
Manager Response:I think our condos have the best ocean view in town.

"Very nice!"Reviewed by Beau & Jo Anne Foulk in November 2011
We have stayed at Sand & Sea several times and have always had a great experience. The condo's are always clean & nicely furnished.
This particular condo could do with a lounger rather then just the large coach but other then that the condo was great. Everything we needed was there & made for a great 4 day vacation for our family.
The view was magnificent.
Cannot say enough about the staff at Sand & Sea! They are always friendly and helpful. We wouldn't stay anywhere else.

"Very nice and quiet vacation. "Reviewed by fibercoug in October 2011
We have been staying at the Sand and Sea for many years now, usually in October but also at other times of the year. We have always found the staff very friendly and willing to help out in any way they can. The room was in good shape and ready for our stay. The recent renovation of the outside and the windows has made a big difference in comfort and quietness. The outside looking back from the ocean looks 100% better. The kitchen was well stocked and had everything we needed for our stay. We will be coming back to the Sand and Sea for many years to come.
Manager Response: I am glad you enjoyed your stay in 602-3. You sure can't
bet the view from the condo.

"tradition"Reviewed by Dar in October 2011
This is a weekend we look forward to every year. We've had 602-3 every year. Like the room very much with the big table and bar counter. The bathtub in the master bath, however needs to have the drain cleaned more regularly. There was gross hair in the drain that wouldn't allow the water to drain well. Icky
Manager Response:Thank you for letting us know. We had maintenance take care of it.
If you have any issues next year, please tell us immediately.
We want to resolve any problems you may have so that your
"tradition" with us will always be a memorable one.

"Ocean front view"Reviewed by Jim in May 2011
Definitely disappointed that we were not forwarned there would be ongoing construction noise throughout our stay and also that the covered scaffolding blocked a significant amount of our view. The condo met our basic requirements. We enjoyed the expanse of windows, the roomsize,the fireplace and balcony. The promimity to the beach and the prom was excellent. On the downside the kitchen and bathrooms were dated. The tubs needed immediate grouting to prevent water damage. Also,the shower curtain wasn't not long enough to keep the water in the tub. The floor had to be wiped up each time we used the shower.
Manager Response: Thank you for letting us know about the issue with the shower
curtain and the tub needing to be grouted. We are sorry for the
construction noise.

"Relaxing"Reviewed by Rebecca in May 2011
I love staying at Sand and Sea. We have gone for over 5 years now. This is the first time in this unit and we were very disappointed. It is in dire need of paint, carpet, and living room furniture, even the cupboards could use a coat of paint or something! It was awful to see water leakage marks along the ceiling in the rooms. The view is fantastic and the service from the front desk was very friendly and efficient. I will not choose this one again as we have stayed in other units that were so much nicer.

"Least favorite of Sand and Sea condos"Reviewed by JM in May 2011
This is the first time we have been disappointed with a condo
at the Sand and Sea which is our favorite place to stay in Seaside. The living room furniture was uncomfortable about the quality of a cheap motel. There is no wi-fi, the cable will not reach any of the living room furniture. It was necessary to move a diningroom chair to avoid sitting on the floor. A big part of the beach experience is relaxing in comfy furniture and enjoying the view. Not possible in 603-2. But if would be easy to fix the problems.

"Great but a bit noisy"Reviewed by Emby in March 2011
The view of the ocean from this rental with floor to ceiling glass windows is amazing! All of the amenities were very nice. The heating system is a bit noisy. But it is otherwise a great place.
Manager Response: Thank you for letting me know about the heating system.
I will have maintenance take a look at it.

"Awesome location and views but building is showing its age."Reviewed by Family Guy in November 2010
2010 is the second straight year my family has stayed here (different room last year but same floor). Our room was on the 6th floor both years facing the beach and the ocean, and we really enjoyed that. It was great to have a cup of coffee in the morning out on the balcony and listen to the waves (too much fog to actually see them). Last year we saw a pod of whales from the room! This property is old and shows its age, but the rooms are nice and comfortable. We felt the price was decent given the location, but would have expected more if it wasn't located right on the beach. We stayed here 2 years in a row mainly because of the location and the fact this is one of the few properties we could find in Seaside that was located well, could sleep 5 or 6, and was available when we needed it. The staff was very nice, but they're availability was limited. The pool is ok, but had too much chlorine one of the days we were there, which disappointed the kids a bit. I would recommend this property for families if you want to be right on the beach, near the turn around, and don't have unlimited resources.
Manager Response:
Thanks for taking the time to review your stay.
You are right about the building needing a face-lift. We are planning to do just that starting the first of the year. First new windows and then in the spring, weather permitting, we will be painting the building.

"Great Views!!!"Reviewed by Beautiful Views in August 2010
Love this area! The condo over looks the ocean through floor to ceiling windows. Completely breath taking. This is an older unit so the window collects moisture which obstructs the view. Also, there is no a/C so if you are in the unit on a hot day, you have to cover the window to stay cool. It gets a bit toasty. Also, they don't provide detergent so you must bring your own. Swimming pool is a bit small but go enough for young children. Overall, it was a great weekend getaway and we intend to return.

"Awesome Location & View"Reviewed by Marty in August 2010
The location is phenomenal! The view is spectacular! The room was clean for the most part. The cabinets could use a good scrub down as they were greasy/dirty where you grab to open. The glass on the balcony railing was pretty dirty as well. We had a problem with the sink drain in one bathroom and called to have repaired but no one ever came to fix. The kitchen was well stocked. The furniture inside was good. The chairs on the balcony were cheap platic chairs. Would expect a little bit better quality chairs on the deck. Beds were very comfortable. We would come back to this unit for the location and the view. Had a great time!

"Fantastic view, quiet and comfortable!"Reviewed by Mike in August 2010
Very nice large unit. Everything worked and the kitchen was well-supplied. We were amazed at how quiet it was too - not a lot of noise from the adjacent units or street noise. The bed in the master bedroom was very comfortable, not one of those hard hotel beds. The only complaint we had is the cleaning staff had forgotten to vaccuum the unit as there was dog hair all over the living room carpet. However, the staff was extrordinarily friendly and helpful. They were quick to resolve any issues we had.

"We'll we be repeat customers for sure!"Reviewed by AZ Lillie in August 2010
The rental was wonderfully located. It was steps away from the main street in Seaside and also had easy beach access. The unit contained a well-stocked kitchen, a washer/dryer, and had TVs and a DVD player. Our stay was very comfortable and we enjoyed curling up by the fireplace to play family games or read. The best feature of this unit was the phenomenal ocean view which was enhanced by a floor-to-ceiling wall mirror in the dining room. This is my new favorite place to stay when visiting Seaside.

"We had a great time"Reviewed by janet.beatty in April 2010
We always have a great time. The location is fantastic. The unit had great furnishings and the kitchen was well stocked. It was wonderful having laundry in the unit. Our only complaint was that we had a little trouble getting the water hot enough in the shower. Hope to stay again soon.
thank you

"Our Seaside Get-Away"Reviewed by Monte and Sandy in March 2010
We enjoyed the accommodations, the service, the view, and the weather. We consider the Sand and Sea our Seaside home.

"Great view and big room!"Reviewed by Teresa in March 2010
We had a great time! There was a lot of room. We were
there with our basketball team and we were able to
entertain a lot of adults and children and never
really felt cramped. The rooms do need a little
updating, but other than that it was great. The view
was amazing!

"Absolutely Ocean-abulous!"Reviewed by the Dotys in February 2010
from the minute we walked in the door of 602-3 we knew we were going to have a hard time ever leaving.The views are amazing and the mirrors brilliantly capture the ocean on every wall. The unit was well stocked, clean and spacious. We even hosted a cocktail party and had plenty of room for 20 adults plus numerous kids. The staff was friendly, the pool was clean and the elevators worked like a charm. We are already planning our next Seaside trip and will ONLY go back to Sand and Sea!

"Weather and staff was wonderful"Reviewed by Thanksgiving in December 2009
We did have a wonderful time and enjoyed staying at Sand and Sea. We only wish there was hot water in the master bedroom, more garbage bags and dish washing soap (felt like you were tight on these) The dishwasher leaked, had to put a paper towel on the floor under the corner.
Manager Response:
It sounds like you had a nice Thanksgiving. I am sorry about
not having enough supplies in the kitchen. We have to
remember to add extra supplies during Thanksgiving. I will
have the maintenance staff look into the hot water and dishwasher
problem.
Thank you for taking your time to write a review of your stay.

"Highly recommended "Reviewed by Plainquilter in August 2009
We have been staying in 602-3 in July for many, many years. Our Mom and Dad stayed in another unit as well as long as he was able.
The view with the mirrors on the dining room wall and over the fireplace is the best.
We would like to continue to come to the Sand and Sea and stay in this unit and I always recommend it to all my friends and aquaintances.
Thank you,
This is a wonderful place to stay.

"We love staying at the Sand and Sea!"Reviewed by Lisa Anderson in June 2009
I rented 602 for me and my girlfriends-kind of a get away from the husbands and kids weekend- it's our third year doing this and our 2nd year staying in room 602! We'll be back again next year-we'd like to try room 402 -since we hear it's pretty nice. We love the fact that the room is large since we all tend to bring too much stuff with us!

"Family Reunion"Reviewed by naweat in May 2009
Once again we enjoyed an awesome holiday weekend at the Sand and Sea condos. The unit was very comfortable and furnished with many little extras to make our stay delightful. This is the 18th year we have come to the condos and each time we enjoy the wonderful oceanfront view and excitement of being at the ocean. My family and I highly recommend Sand and Sea.

"A great place for all of the family"Reviewed by The Lund Family in April 2009
We have stayed in Seaside, on and off, for the past 55 years. Last year we brought our two boys, their wives and five grandchildren. We rented two large units, ocean front on the top floor and had a grand time. Breakfast and lunch in our rooms and dinner out. Kids loved the ocean and walk to downtown amusement. We even had time for a game of cards several afternoons. A great place to stay for a family gathering with all the conveniences of home.
