Our large family rented the entire Seaside lodge for Christmas Eve and Christmas Day. Usually we meet at Grandma's tiny house, so this was the first Christmas I can remember that every person had a bed & room to sleep in rather than blow up mattresses or curling up on love seats. And no waiting for the bathroom! The place was exactly as photos advertised, and also had a huge beautiful Christmas tree & other lights & holiday decorations. I am picky about mattresses, and you never know what you're going to get in a rental, so I was delighted that mine was firm & super comfy! The kitchen was equipped with enough "stuff" that we were able to pull of Christmas dinner for 13 people. Housekeeping kept in touch via text msg, even on Christmas day, asking if we needed extra coffee, towels or trash emptied. The entire experience was so delightful, we may make it an annual tradition!
