This was our second year at Ooh La La, and again it was most enjoyable! The location is fantastic and right by the pool and very close to the beach entrance. The outdoor patio is so spacious and perfect for cooking out! I highly recommend this property to anyone looking for convenience and outdoor space!

This cottage was everything we needed and wanted! We have stayed in many different cottages on 30A, and this one is our favorite so far! The back patio was a perfect place to relax after a day at the beach. Conveniently located to the pool and Odessa Pavillion. The staff at Homeowners Collection is top notch! Would love to stay here again!

Great stay over Memorial Day week 2022. We have previously stayed at Seaside a number of times so we have a good basis for comparison. This property was by far the best we have ever stayed. Newly renovated, cleanest, up-to-date. Great attention to detail, marvelous artwork throughout, a 5 star first class residence. Everything worked properly, could not find a thing to complain about except the gardenias were a little slow to bloom (have to work on that!). Could use a few more blankets and different pillows for those of us who were very sensitive. Back patio was wonderful, OK grill, landscaping excellent, though some outdoor cushions would be great. Outdoor shower very useful with a spray hose that became indispensable. Kitchen well stocked with cooking stuff. My wife is a designer and we are well versed in decor....this property was professionally done and easy to live in. WiFi a bit weak but manageable. Great A/C and hot water availability. Appliances good, but could use better ventilation above the range (microwave vent is poor and bacon can set off smoke alarms). Overall extremely satisfied and would definitely stay here again. FYI, Seaside pricing is now over-the-top, all properties and restaurants are way too proud of their food and services. Quality good, service good, pricing sometimes laughable and we are used to Ritz-Carlton type environments. Expect $500-1000/day for food family of 4.
Thank you so much for taking the time to write this positive review for Ooh La La and the Homeowner's Collection team. We have passed on your feedback to our operations team. We are so pleased you enjoyed your stay and we hope to welcome you back on your next visit to Seaside!
