Guest Testimonials

"This is the first time my family and I have visited the Outer Banks. Let's just say we will be hosting our family reunions here every year from now on! We absolutely had the most incredible time there. Renting the house was the best idea I have ever had! I do not know nor want to think of what this trip would have been like if we all rented hotel rooms.

We rented Blue Skies [from] you and were blown away by it. Everything was perfect and I would give it 4.5 out of 5 stars. ...everything was perfect! You can expect our business every year!" -750, Blue Skies For You

"Thank you so much for all of your help. Every time I have had to deal with Seaside and its representatives it has always been a wonderful experience. You make it so easy and carefree. We look forward to spending a wonderful few days down in the Outer Banks. I just wish it could be for a longer amount of time! Take care, and again, thank you for everything!" - Kellie

"Thank you. In 11 years straight, I've made the mistake of renting with seven other companies (it was the individual house, not the company). You are the BEST and I won't make the mistake again. You are easiest, cleanest, most friendly, etc. I can't thank you enough." -525, Seahorse

“I would like to compliment y'all for your customer service in advance of our stay. We vacation every year in the Outer Banks, and have used several of the rental agencies in the area. You definitely have a leg up on the competition… kudos to you and your impeccable customer service!” -742, Hoo’s Girls

"Hello! My friend and I recently returned from a great stay at one of your units(SO3B). As two kindergarten teachers, each with several children apiece, this vacation was much needed and long overdue. We specifically chose Seaside Vacations because of your "Perfect Vacation Promise". The thought of arriving to freshly made beds and having towel sets provided was glorious. However, even more appealing was knowing that as self-proclaimed "Laundry Queens", we wouldn't be bringing home dirty sheets and towels." - SO3B, Coop's Coup

"We just wanted to thank you for all that you have done for us! You have really gone above and beyond when you didn't have to. GG has also been so helpful to us during our recent trip-she is really great!" - Meg and AJ

"Just to let you know, I ended up booking with another company because they seemed to have a better deal. NEVER AGAIN!"

"First to summarize our experience with Seaside Vacations. We have found they are willing to go above an beyond to satifsy their customers. We were [with another rental company] for 3 years until we felt as if they saw us as just another booking and could not care less about our needs or concerns. There are many places in the OBX that we could spend our $$ vacationing, Seaside is #1 for us.

We enjoyed Sisterly Love, a great beachfront home. Our family consists of three generations. The fact that each room has a bathroom with shower is a wonderful feature. The kitchen, eating area and living room are a 'Great Room' for the family to gather and share time together during the day and evening. The game room is OK for late night pool tournaments too.

The pool is well above average for the OBX, not just a preformed mini-pool, this one provides plenty of room to play in the pool and enjoy an afternoon beverage. The kitchen was well stocked with dishes, pots and glasses." - 785, Sisterly Love

"Our stay at Isabel's Hacienda was one of the best vacations we can remember. The rental home was everything we could possibly hope for, and more. We look forward to many more years of going back to this destination and this particular house. Everyone's needs were accounted for. The elevator was perfect for our elderly parents, the game room, pool area and volleyball court were well used by our children and the huge dinning room table was used by all. We were more then pleased by everything and it helped to make our vacation a very special event." -753, Isabel's Hacienda

"We had an incredible week at Schmoo by the Sea! Just a short stroll to the beach; nicely appointed with quality furniture; plenty of space and bathrooms for our crew of 10 adults, 3 children, and two dogs; pool and outdoor hot tub; two outdoor decks for reading, naps, or an evening glass of wine; a kitchen with practially [every] gadget you might need; less than a mile to the Harris Teeter and other shops. We look forward to returning again next year!" -281, Schmoo by the Sea

"Fabulous house. Perfect for a large crowd. Easy access to the beach. Beach was quiet and very family oriented. Lots of covered parking. Kids loved the swings mounted under the house. Best of all is the location is between Duck and Kitty Hawk, we could go everywhere without horrible traffic. We plan to return." - 457, Seventh Heaven

"Want to extend a big THANK YOU to you guys for making our vacation one we will never forget!!! The house we were provided with made our summer beach trip a dream come true. The whole family much appreciated the opportunity given to us. Words cannot express our gratitude." - 695, True Friends

"We have stayed in this property in the past and love the things this home offers us on our vacation. We will definitely stay here again in 2009. All in all, we love this property and will continue to rent as long as it fits the vacation budget.

Thanks to Seaside Vacations for years of OBX vacation enjoyment!!! You can't beat a Seaside vacation home for sure! The linens and towels being included is a huge PLUS, makes it less you have to bring and take back!! Thank you again to Jennifer at Seaside for her great assistance. Jennifer made the process smooth and easy. It's very obvious that Jennifer knows her stuff!! Thank you Seaside for everything!" -753, Isabel's Hacienda

"We've stayed at other Seaside Vacations homes in the past and have always been enjoyed working with the staff. They are very quick to help before and during the visit (we've never needed help after)."

"This is lovely home, seven women (sisters & cousins) all retired enjoy the location. It has 5 bedrooms with queen/king beds and each has a bathroom, the lower has bunk beds w/two bedrooms and 1 bath in between the rooms. The elevator is sooo great! It really comes in handy when taking your luggage in and out. The house is well furnished w/kitchen utensils. It makes a vacation, a vacation to remember. We get the pool heated so we can enjoy our stay a little better." - 785, Sisterly Love

"Our group thoroughly enjoyed our vacation at Schmoo By the Sea. The house is beautiful and well kept with lots of amenities. The house is set back off the cul-de-sac a little bit, so your pool area is private, which was a definite plus. You can walk right by many of the other houses outside areas and see what everyone is doing. Everything advertised in the brochure was there (tvs, dvds, vcrs, gas grill, computer, etc.). There was an ice machine, small fridge, sink and counter area down by the room next to the pool. This was great since the kitchen is all the way up on the third floor.It was our first time to OBX and we would go back." - 281, Schmoo by the Sea

“Thank you all so much for all of your welcomed communications...First, I have to say that over the years the experience that I have had dealing with you has been the best and we are not even there yet! The patients that referred us to you said they are with you on every detail right from the beginning...thanks...The preparation for this has been challenging on our end so thanks for making it easier on yours.” - 693, Happy Dog Days

"We had a very good time.The condo was clean and filled our needs. This is our third year vacationing at the OBX and loved it. This time we had an opportunity to go swimming in a pool which our son loved. See you next year we plan on coming down again." - 6401, Heironimus

"We really enjoyed the home and had a very relaxing time over Thanksgiving 2008. A very short distance to the beach and our dog, as we did, enjoyed our daily walks to and on the beach. Great location to shopping and restaurants. The hot tub added relaxation to our short, but wonderful vacation. Overall, we had a great experience and I would recommend this home to others especially to those who are bringing their family pet. Thanks for being a "pet-friendly" home! Thanks for the experience and God Bless everyone!" - 5804, Reel Therapy

"This was a wonderful house! The pool was the perfect temperature, the grill worked great, the ice maker and mini fridge just steps from the pool came in handy every day!!! The beach was not crowded at all. The house had enough TVs and living areas for our family of 13 and dog to move around and do as we pleased without getting in each others' way. Great property." -281, Schmoo by the Sea

"The house was spectacular. There were 4 couples staying and we all had room to roam. It was the best vacation our has taken, and we are coming back next year. From seeing dolphins from the deck to lounging by the pool, this place made our dreams come true. I would recommend it [to] anyone! - 785, Sisterly Love

"WOW! It was me and a 9 of my closest friends at the house. We had a blast. Close to the beach, close to the highway, great neighbors, a time not to be missed. The house was clean, well stocked, and the people at the office were nice and helpful. The only down side was the grill, but we rented a more manly one and it worked out just fine. I hope to get a house that is just as good next year!" -753, Isabel's Hacienda

"Please keep the Club Seaside as a part of your rental program. We loved it very much! The amenities that are available free of charge and at a reduced rate are very well worth it!" - SCR3B, Scrimshaw
