Moonlight Hug is one of 4 cottages I rented for my extended family. It is a charming cottage that we will rent in the future.

We are delighted to hear your gang enjoyed their accomodation, the town, amenities, and services from Homeowners Collection. We hope to welcome any or all of you again for any future Seaside destination!

Our family could not be more pleased with our stay at Moonlight Hug in Seaside! We have stayed here three times and it keeps getting better - my husband loved the new king bed! We love the location - it's just a short walk to the shops and restaurants, and of course the beautiful beach. The home is spacious and comfortable, kitchen has everything we needed and then some. We will be back!

The Moonlight Hug is not in any shape for guest accommodations. I have already sent photos of the shabby conditions of this home. Distressed floors, cabinetry, paint and a dearth of kitchen supplies make this a very run down property. Porches and doors are grimy and uninviting as is the outdoor furniture.
Dear Mr. Booker,

We are deeply sorry to hear about your disappointing experience at The Moonlight Hug. Please know that we take your feedback seriously and are actively working to address the issues with the homeowner. We are in the process of a deep clean, pressure washing, as well as a new king bed, and a new queen sleeper sofa as well as other improvements to ensure that future guests have a more enjoyable stay.

We appreciate your patience and understanding and hope that you will consider staying with us again in the future to experience the improvements firsthand.

Sincerely,

Stay at Moonlight Hug

Very cute property- Personally a bathroom on the bottom floor would be good(instead of closet downstairs?) I know space is limited. In bedroom add a small night table of the right side of bed. And more towels/wash cloths. I say this just from experience as I own rental property in disney. Cute place will be back to Seaside yearly:)

This cute cottage is right in the heart of Seaside with easy access to all Seaside offers! The kitchen has been updated and nicely equipped - but who wants to cook when you're in Seaside? Two screened porches on the back of the cottage offered a nice breeze and place for our dog linger. Thank you for being a PET FRIENDLY cottage!! Moonlight Hug is a perfect size for 2 - 3 people. Parking can easily accommodate one car and golf cart.

Property is located close to town and beach. The size was perfect for the two of us and the rental was clean. The only complaint would be to replace the queen bed with a new king bed. The bedroom is large enough for a king and the current queen is uncomfortable and lumpy.

My husband and I stayed here after some friends recommended it to us. We were so excited upon arrival to see everything we hoped for and more. The home is spacious and clean - we were very comfortable and loved the bed! The location of Moonlight Hug was wonderful too. We felt so close to the fun of Seaside and could also walk right over to the beach. It was the perfect stay for us. We loved every second. Oh, and thank you for making us feel so welcome and helping us with restaurant suggestions, shopping and fishing recommendations. The concierge was amazing!

We SO loved staying at Moonlight Hug. Thank you to the staff for the welcome basket and for taking care of everything we asked for upon arrival. Not only did we arrive with groceries already stocked, but to walk into a gorgeous home that was spotless and cozy was exactly what we needed after our travels. We were so comfortable staying in Moonlight Hug and had plenty of space even with our children. It was the perfect location for us - easy to walk anywhere but we also had bikes if we wanted to venture out. Yes, we will be back to the same spot! We recommend it highly!!
