Our 12-member family returned to Seaside and the rental home, Teachers Lounge, The home is perfect for 6 adults and 6 grandchildren, ages 1 to 16. We eat together, play together, go to the beach together and fix most meals for all of us to eat together. We have been coming to Seaside for fifteen or more years. We love the house, its porches, and its location. The other Seaside amenities, the big lawn, the outdoor movies, restaurants and shopping, the pools, the beach, and, of course, the bikes make it a wonderful place to watch our grandchildren grow up and have old-fashioned fun. The only drawback is the apparent failure of other families to supervise their children during the evenings. We understand that teenagers want to spend time with kids their own age; but the risk of harm to themselves and others is a hazard. We had a terrific time; our children and grandchildren loved every minute, especially the beach and biking! Just simple pleasures!

We spent Thanksgiving week in this very comfortable home and had an amazing time. The location is fantastic, an easy walk to everything. Plenty of sleeping space and comfortable beds. The kitchen is a little small but totally adequate for our needs, including preparing a small Thanksgiving meal. It really felt like home for us and I'd happily stay in Teacher's Lounge again.
Thank you for taking the time to write this positive review of Teacher's Lounge and the Homeowner's Collection team. We are so pleased you enjoyed your stay and we hope to welcome you back on your next visit to Seaside!

This is a lovely home to stay in for a vacation! The floor plan is excellent for a large group with a bedroom being downstairs and several upstairs. The bunk room is perfect for lots of kids. It was very clean when we arrived and Brigitte was so helpful. She made sure that we had everything we needed for our stay. This home's in a great location. It's easy to walk to the church, town center, adult pool, and park. It's an easy walk to the beach, too. It also has a nice porch where we enjoyed our morning coffee. I'd definitely stay here again!
