It had high-end finishes and the decor was updated and very tastefully done! I knew it had to be nice if it was on the Southern Living Home Tour. It had plenty of beds and nice high end bathrooms. We liked the 2-3 parking spaces as well. It was located on a quiet street at the back of Seaside. It was close to the adult pool which we love! I would highly recommend this Beauty!! ##### Elizabeth T. This review comes from a trusted partner site and has not been verified. ### 10/10 Excellent #### Stephen G.

Apr 19, 2021 #### Spring Break review Rating Details: The property manager was more than helpful. The vacation rental was clean. I was somewhat unhappy with the location. I was somewhat dissatisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: You should know before booking that you can literally get TWICE the home in this area for half the price. To be fair, our rental was sold at the last minute and this was likely the only house available on short notice, but there's little value to report with our stay. The location is 2/5Minimal room to be outside and no cushions provided. Parking is difficult but fortunately you can bike in and out. Take some time and do plenty of research exploring some other options before booking. ##### Clay L. ### 6/10 Okay #### Brooke P. Aug 7, 2022 Liked: Check-in, location Disliked: Cleanliness #### Left Something to be Desired At first glance this property seemed to be a nice home but quickly it fell short. The location was good and is on a quiet street. This property has good bones and potential but was rather dingy and needing work. We found large roaches daily on both levels of the house including bathrooms and kitchen. Many of the upholstery surfaces had large stains. Finally, 2 of the 3 bathrooms had grout that was black and the ceiling in one bathroom had severe water damage and was cracked and the sink in the other did not work. We have stayed in Seaside many times and have never had concerns like these before. The attention to detail is very lacking. ##### Brooke P.

I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Always a great time in Seaside. Loved Splendor in the Sand. Here is my feedback.Both garbage cans outside should have a lid. (the cans are a bit old and tired, and kind of gross)workers in the neighborhood throw their garbage in there and it's a mess after the rain. Sure do wish the blinds in both 2nd floor bathrooms had the option to come down from the top. that goes for the first floor bedrooms too. The rooms are very dark and you can't really open the blinds cause too much exposure. A little natural light is always welcome. A laundry basket would be helpful. There were two tiny little dish towels - they were inadequate and we could have used standard dish towels. Ditto Pot Holders. Also kitchen hand soap at the sink would be very nice. I wash my hands frequently while working in the kitchen. The disposal button is very difficult to operate. That made it a bit scary to be honest. The bedroom curtains block the ability to get in to open the windows. that was awkward and a big hassle. Would really appreciate all of the windows that do open are in working order. There were a couple that had issues. and I much prefer the fresh breeze to the AC. I did leave the 2nd floor balcony doors open, as suggested, and a bird actually flew in. Took awhile to get the critter out. I really appreciated all of the kitchen dishes, cooking stuff, appliances. Great quality. There were no spices, which I get, but It would be very nice to have salt and pepper on hand, at least. I had already made a large grocery run (I rent for two weeks) when I discovered there were no spices at all. These are meant to be helpful suggestions. I really liked the house - would rent again next year. Thank you!!PS Kary was great and always responsive to my questions and concerns. Much appreciated! ##### Maura R. ### 4/10 Poor #### Gerald O. Jul 31, 2022 Liked: Check-in, location, listing accuracy Disliked: Communication #### Disappointment in the Sand Appears the owners are not putting any profit back into the upkeep of the house. Where do I begin….. The built-in microwave did not work so they had a cheap countertop one instead; the fridge had a drawer and several shelves missing; adequate but mediocre cookware; they literally had only four spoons in the utensils; a pillow case was soiled/ used upon check-in and it took three days to replace; one pillow has two pillow cases because housekeeping was too lazy to find a larger size and it took three days to get a new one; the grill was filthy and propane entirely empty and it took four days to fix the issue; the majority of blinds did not work and/ or had the draw strings broken; numerous large stains on the couch/ chairs/ benches; the roof leaked in several places when it rained; no outdoor hose to wash off beach things; various marks on the walls throughout the house; limited poor shelves in each of the bedrooms closets; the management company was quick to respond but very slow to get anything repaired; burned out lights in the kitchen, living room, and frig upon check-in; the home did not have beach chairs/ umbrellas/ toys/ etc that many houses offer. It is conveniently located to beach, main square, pool, tennis courts and workout center. For the money, there are better much better alternatives. For the fees Homeowner’s Collection is charging, they did a poor job of responding to issues and maintaining the property. ##### Gerald O.

Reviewer Comments: Overall, the house is great. Very nice furniture. Appreciate the opportunity to stay there.However, we did have several problems while staying there. Key lock did not work well until it was replace a few days after we were there; we had to keep the other doors unlocked while we were out of the house. The locksmith was very professional and efficient once he was asked to fix the lock. The loss of hot water for about 7 hours did cause us some problems, particularly since we had a child. The plumber was very professional and repaired the unit quickly after he was able to get the part. Property management did respond quickly to our concerns. ##### A guest from Vestavia Hills, AL This review comes from a trusted partner site and has not been verified. ### 10/10 Excellent #### Brian P. May 10, 2022 #### Restful Haven on Venice Circle for our Family of 4~ 2022 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: It was beautiful and quiet cottage away from the community center. The front porch is absolutely gorgeous with the rocking chairs to have our morning coffee. The blinds need some TLC. That is why there is a 4/5 stars. Definitely get your exercise in this house, since the living space and kitchen are upstairs and 2 bedrooms are downstairs. There is a beautiful master bedroom upstairs with a washer and dryer. The cottage was clean. The Beds were comfortable. We will be back. =) ##### Brian P. This review comes from a trusted partner site and has not been verified. ### 10/10 Excellent #### Amanda J.
