We absolutely loved Above the Crowd! It is in the perfect location to everything! Thankful for parking spots and being so close to the beach! The condo was beautifully decorated and felt so homey! We played their games and watched basketball in the family room. Loved having the outside deck to drink our coffee in the mornings and watch Seaside waking up! So many personal touches and we hopefully will be back! Thank you Above the Crowd!

Reviewer Comments:
Property presented as a two bedroom was misleading. I slept on a bunk, with my clothes outside in the bedroom. 43 gusty degrees was not an option for use of the bedroom in a separate building from the bathroom - not a luxury experience. Thermostat settings to drop 5 degrees in the night with no directions also made half the trip frigid. It's a lovely place in a great location.

The house and location were great! The property management company was very responsive. The only reason I gave 4 stars for the property's general condition is that the reserved parking spaces were often full, and the WiFi was slow. I had to go downstairs to the coffee shop when I need to work.

Reviewer Comments:
Great location. Only thing we did not understand was that the Second bedroom is hidden upstairs and only accessed via an outdoor courtyard. People staying there do not have any closet or bathroom and need to walk back over to access bathroom inside the main part of th unit.
Our family loved every second of our stay in this beautiful condo. It’s located right in the heart of Seaside with every option for fun and relaxing you can imagine. We hope to return soon.
Perfect spot during events.We have booked this place a couple of times now and continue to be happy with our investment. The only qualms were that the washer/dryer is a little small for 6 people and being that close to city center comes with some additional noise. Would highly recommend!

I would highly recommend this rental. It is in a great location, just steps from everything: food, beach, shops - you name it! I brought a family of 4 with two teenage daughters. The only downfall we experienced is that the two bunk beds are literally located in a hallway, so there is no privacy or space for those staying in the bunk beds to store their belongings. This was a little misleading in the ad, but overall we had a great stay.

This rental is perfectly situated overlooking the square. We did not have to drive the entire trip! It is not loud at all, which we were worried about! The furnishings were well appointed and all very comfy! Can’t wait to book again! Minor issues was the stove was broken and the outdoor spa was kinda yuck- but it is outside so- no negative on our stay!

If you want to have the world of Seaside down the steps from you, this is definitely for you! Beautiful views from your balcony, shops, restaurants at your feet, and privacy in your shared courtyard! Mother Nature caused a small hick-up and management was so on top of it, offering solutions and options while being so professional and kind! ( Thanks Amanda) We had a lovely time and will be back!

ABOVE THE CROWD .... What a beautiful condo ...the decor was perfect, so inviting and comfortable, great views from the balcony of the amphitheater and the blue ocean and white sands .... I have stayed home several places in seaside that were all really good ... but I can’t wait to stay here again.... The staff at Homeowners collection were very helpful and easy to contact for any questions...
Property was great. Everything was easy. I reports a window screen falling from third floor onto my car and leaving damage. I also reported other screens were about to fall. When I left, no repairs had been done to other screens and I guess nothing to be done regarding damage to my car. This was in the provided parking spot.

Couldn’t have asked for a better location! Cottage was very clean, beautifully decorated and absolutely perfect! I had heard bad things about the parking but we didn’t have any trouble at all. Only thing was elevator. It’s very very old and only worked part of the time we were there. Being on third floor made that a little inconvenient especially while we were loading up to leave and having to drag everything down three flights of stairs. Other than that, it was great! Would definitely go back!
