Great location and lovely accommodations

We had a wonderful first trip to Seaside with our family. The 2 yr old loved the porch swing, we enjoyed sitting outside on the porches and talking, grilling out, eating in. Easy access to playground, pools and short walk to beach (was much closer than we thought). Loved having a couple bikes, toiletries and hair dryers, washer/dryer all came in handy. Would definitely stay here again! Perfect for 2 families with overflow to the pullout couches.

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was clean. 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 girlfriends and I got to have a reunion up here, and this cottage was perfect!!! We loved every bit of it!!!! The best part is 100% the location. Biked everywhere, didn’t need the car or even a golf cart- made navigating seaside so much easier! 3 min bike ride to the town square- perfect! The downstair shower needed some extra cleaning but other than that, it was great!

Relaxing 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 (consisting of two couples) had a great time in Seaside, and enjoyed our stay at Cherry on Top. The house was really great, we especially enjoyed our choice of four porches — there was always some place to sit outside that had the sun or the shade you were looking for at that particular moment. The bedrooms were spacious, and the property was well-maintained. The kitchen was a little tight but since our only meal at the house was breakfast it wasn't an issue for us, but could be if you intend to cook a lot.

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: This property has been our favorite in Seaside.It is always perfect.We weren’t happy though, with the $1,000Rental increase from last year. That is way too excessive butGoes with the new theme of Seaside.Because of the price gauging in Seaside which used to be our Happy place, we are going to Italy for the same price!!!!!What a shame this quaint little family resort townIs turning into what it is. Money, money and more money🤦🏼‍♀️Too busy, too many incoming people from other areas.It lost its quaint , vintage vibe.Sooooooo sad.

Excellent Seaside Getaway

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: Cherry on Top was a wonderful place to stay for our weeklong Seaside trip this year. Quality throughout the house and located close to the West pool and everything else. Kids loved the outdoor shower and the top floor "storm room" where we were able to witness some beautiful lightning / thunder storms. Great cottage and we would certainly stay here again.
