A great older house in Seaside!

We had a great time staying at the Governor's House. This is an old house with tons of character (even comes with the "old house" smell, but we like houses with character, and it was perfect with us. Large bedrooms for everyone in our family, a huge living room space, a small but efficient kitchen, and a very large yard. One evening we had our extended family over (about 22 people in all) and there was space for everyone. We will definitely be staying here again the next time we visit Seaside!

A beach house with character.

I loved staying in this house. If you like slick and new, this may not be the house for you. But if you love an older house with real wood and an old fashioned vibe, this is the place for you. The kitchen is well appointed, the bedrooms are cozy, and the yard is beautiful. Plenty of room for a large family.

Close-in

Pros: Close to the beach, restaurants and shops! Living room, deck and backyard were spacious. Cons: Old dishwasher (although seemed to work), small closed off kitchen, not very clean (Vacasa team was great about getting this remedied, however who wants to deal with all of that when you have a 4pm check-in and are traveling with 9 people). Overall we had a good experience, enjoyed our time, and Vacasa was great.

Perfect for families!

Great location and spacious home with plenty of room for everyone! Our family of 5 (2 adults, 2 teens and a 9yr old) had a blast staying in this charming older home. Within walking distance to all the shops (less than 10mins), and just a couple blocks from the beach! We loved staying here and hope to come back next summer!

Lots of space & great location

We loved the antique feel of the home, of you're prepared for that then you will too. The location was great, just blocks from the beach, promenade & shops. Enjoyed having the space, cooking in the kitchen and being able to play games at the table. Beds were comfortable too.

House was perfect for a group, the furniture is a bit dated, but it’s very adequately proportioned and appropriated. The layout is wonderful and the lawn and deck are great. The best part about this home is the location. It is close to everything you need to be at. We hope to book it again, Thank you!

Birthday Vacation

My grandchildren think the house is haunted. They were scared to sleep in their room. You can hear everyone walking. The house creaked. There was lots of room for our large family. The yard is very nice and fenced.

Great old home with fantastic yard.

Showed up with 10 folks 6 adults 4 kids. This grand old beauty was able to sleep us all just fine. The yard is gigantic and the kids played hide and seek all day long. Great location quick to the beach and Broadway. All sorts of usable items from kitchen and games to beach items. She showing some wear, this grand old dame, but for a vacation she was perfect.

Terrific location and service

The proximity to the boardwalk and town was great. The house had everything we needed. The only hair dryer wasn't working on Day 1. I let them know and they brought us a new one that afternoon! Great experience.

Quiet get away

Large older house, that can accommodate ten people easily. Very clean and close to beach and shopping. This house would be great for large family’s with kids! Nice large patio and beautiful yard. Property had everything we needed. One shortcoming the gas stove was missing the fuel line so we didn’t get to grill.

Wonderful Girl's Trip

This was a very nice place to stay. The house was large enough for our group of 7adults. The only concern was that bedroom windows in the downstairs bedroom were not able to keep open; one window would open but not stay up and the other window (street side), when I opened it the whole pane fell out towards me. I was able to put it back in and shut the window but there wasn't much as far as air flow in that room. Overall, a great location, close to town and the promenade. We had a wonderful time.

House is a great location! Easy access to beach and promenade. Overall house has plenty of room and spacious yard for games. Really enjoyed the upper deck with ocean view. would recommend having a small table and umbrella up there. House is older so would recommend updated mattress in the upper two bedrooms. Would also recommend washer/dryer especially for those staying longer than a couple nights. Would definitely stay here again
