SUPER Location

Home 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.

Fun Stay in Seaside

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. 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.

Perfect Location

We loved the location of our cottage! It is in walking distance to everything Seaside. We traveled with our dog and it was easy to get back to him from the beach for walks around the neighborhood and the square.

Authentic, timeless home that is simply excellent

We loved the simplicity and style of this home. It stood out from the typical beach home- was super clean, in an exceptional location, beautiful woods all around it, charming walks with our dog in all directions through the surrounding central Seaside neighborhood. Just couldn't ask for anything more.

Wayback August 2023

We had a great time at our Wayback cottage stay! My wife had never been so it was the perfect entry to Seaside and can’t be location. Just a disclaimer this is is a max capacity of I would say 2, maybe 3 adults, or 2 adults and a child, I would not book it for a party bigger than that. There could be a bigger shower and a washer/dryer setup but other than that we had a flawless stay!

Nice Weekend

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We had a nice stay in Way Back cottage this past weekend. Although it was rainy and cooler than we would’ve liked, the cabin was a cozy spot to hunker down and play some dominoes, with a nicely appointed kitchen for cooking and a very comfortable bed. When the weather was cooperative, there was so much to do close by (hiking, biking, restaurants, food trucks, the pools, the exercise center) - good times!

Way Back Cottage Review

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: My husband and I truly enjoyed staying at the Way Back Cottage. We loved how close it was to everything in Seaside! It was even walking distance to the beach, which was wonderful for us! If I could provide one suggestion, it would be that the mattress/ pillows get updated - they were not very comfortable to sleep on, but other than that, I highly recommend!

The town also does not disappoint with beach, food and shopping all close at hand within walking distance. No need to go off sight. Truly a wonderful weekend for a couple looking to getaway for a few days.

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: First time to Seaside, mother/daughter Spring Break. This is the perfect location. The house is so charming and has everything you need! The extras that are included - bikes, private beach access, the welcome kit and frequent text check-in make this a no-brainer. Only minor request would be to add a couch instead of club chairs. We loved it and would highly recommend - perfect for a couple!

What a great place to stay

We had a delightful time staying in this little cottage. It just fit the two of us so well. The bed was comfortable (guessing they replaced it after a previous reviewer complained). The management was super responsive and available by text and phone. We had an issue with the A/C that was responded to promptly (within a few hours), and the house was cool again. They even added a couple of window units just to make sure that we stayed cool (didn't need them). The place was quiet, simple, clean. We loved the walking trails nearby, the easy walk or bike ride to the beach, and the main square of the town being so nearby. Highly recommend getting the Cabana Man beach umbrella/chairs setup reserved before going because it makes beach time hassle-free. We'll be back!
