Great price. This house was quite clean. Plenty of space for 5 adults. Washer and Dryer were great! A short walk to the beach and shops. You get all the stuff that goes along with living on a dirt road. Water heater could have been set a little warmer.

My family and i had chosen 143 forest for the christmas holidays. Unfortunately i did not read the previous reviews till 4 das before checking in. I informed Royal Destinations that if the problems that were previously not amended. (see april 2021 comments)- i will bne asking for a refund or want to change to another home. I was promised a 5 star experience from royal, but unfortunately the property is very poorly maintained or not at all maintained and is exactly correct what the previous complaints were. Run down, bad beds- found a empty vodka bottle in upstairs bedroom closet- toilet broke upstairs when we were there 7 forks, 2 wineglasses, etc etc. Although Royal did their best to make up for the problematic issues, our families first holiday after 1 year of none together due to covid was not a 5 star experience. I have asked for a complete or even partial refund from the manager,David Conkle, whom is highly aware of all the problems during our stay but have not heard a word for 2 weeks. I do not recommend this property at all. I am very disapppointed also in the management for not responding and as well as not really fixing the problems mentioned form the previous renter in April before my family arrived. Very unprofessional and not good conduct for 30A visitors in general.

143 Forest was a really nice place to stay. The location is great, only two blocks to Seaside proper and two blocks to the beach. However, this place needs a lot of love. The white sofas are very dirty with wine stains and other stains on them. While this sort of thing doesn't bother me, it might bother you. One of the upstairs bedrooms has ZERO places to put your clothes. There are no chest of drawers or any sort of hooks . Also, in the bathroom for this bedroom there are nothing to hang wet towels or bathing suits. Nothing, no towel racks either. Very strange. There are two porches on the second floor; one of them has two chairs and a little table, the other porch has nothing! No place to sit, totally empty. Again, very strange. Be warned that the third floor bedroom is very small and has no coverings on the many windows. There's no way anyone but children could fit up there. The sofa bed is beyond horrible. Mattress is ancient and super thin and super dirty. Also, we counted 32 dinner plates, 25 salad plates and only ONE wine glass in the whole house. There were 8 other glasses, very weird. The pictures of the pool made it seem larger, be warned that it is super tiny, really only a dipping pool. Air conditioning worked well as did the washer and dryer. There's only a very small table to eat meals, no dining room or large table. very strange design. There are chairs to sit in by the pool but they all have cushions which were always wet, so basically no seating outside, except for the picnic table. I know how negative this must sound, but I've stayed in many homes here and it's very helpful to me to read very detailed reviews when I'm trying to decide which house to pick. All this being said, we had a wonderful week, none of this stuff mattered to us at all. The management were super helpful to work with.

This house was in a great location. Walking distance to downtown Seaside and the beach. Quick drive to Publix. The decor and fixtures were beautiful. Like others reviews stated though, it’s very worn. It’s so strange because the house itself is nice and the decor is beautiful, but everything was a mess. Dings in the walls, torn carpet, cabinet doors off the hinges, a grill that needs to be replaced(it comes on but that’s about it). It was also not very clean. With check in being later and check out being earlier due to “cleanliness due to covid), I was disappointed in how clean the house actually was. Floors were dirty, bathrooms were just okay. If the issues were addressed with this home(new grill, cleaned throughly, minor upgrades made), we would definitely stay again.

Doors fall off hinges when u open them and most doors slam into something when opened due to the poor design. There is no need for a half bath in the dining area. It’s kind of a gross thought, and should be a pantry. The master bath / bedroom was fine except for one broken door and the shower door which bangs into the shower head. The day room should be just a bedroom and the pullout sofa needs to be replaced if u want to consider it a bed. Horrible old mattress. The kitchen garbage not even on a track. Broken so it falls on you every time u try to reach the back can. Kitchen dining table is old and knicked and just looks crappy. All rugs need to be replaced. Just old and dingy. Upstairs was fine and enough space. Just more broken doors that fall off when opened. Bathrooms were big and plentiful. There was a leak coming into the kitchen from above next to the dining table when it rained hard. Grill needed repair, and they came out right away to repair. Staff at Royal Destinations were great and the accommodations were good except for what I stated above. The location is really good but the dust from the road is a bit much. Lastly the garbage situation. There is just as much garbage on the ground inside the bin than what is in the bags. Garbage service does not pick up what is not in bags and we arrived to a lot of loose trash inside the bin. I would rent with kids again but not adults looking for something nicer

This property photographs well, but was not up to our group’s standards. The cleaning staff must only change the linens and put out fresh towels- the rest of the house looked untouched from cleaning. The couches were dirty with stains, breakfast table paint peeling off the surface, and the floors were filthy- and having small children playing on floors I was grossed out. I had to locate the broom on day one to clean the dust clots and filth off the floor. The bathrooms sinks were dirty as you could see residue of shave cream and men’s facial hair stuck to the sides. Oh and I saw three bugs while we were there. The house may sleep multiple people, but the 1/2 the space is for kids and one bunk spaces looks like it was the laundry closet turned into a 2 person bunk room. Other than beds the space is not designed to accommodate a large group (we had 6 adults and 3 kids under the ages of 3). The lack of dining space is undesirable. We had all 6 adults crammed into a breakfast nook to eat dinner together. The only reason a gave 3 stars is because the location to Seaside center is excellent!! You can easily walk to the center in less than 10 minutes. The bikes were a nice addition to the house and we did use them. I would recommend asking to have the bikes serviced prior to your stay bc the chain feel off one bike midriff and our friend was nearly injured from flying off the bike. Also if you are renting gear be specific in quest and placement of items. I rented a bike trailer from my baby to bike along and the company dropped off a trailer with broken seatbelts. I have the same trailer at home dnd know how to operate it- if you were unfamiliar with this product you may not know how your child would be in danger if and accident took place. They also shared helmets would be delivered and 1. No helmets. Then when I called to see where the were the delivered later adult helmets. I don’t need adult helmets for a children’s trailer. We also rented a golf cart- 1st the cart was delivered to the wrong address, and then went for a night ride the following day and the headlights were burnt out. The concierge was very responsive to send out maintenance to look at and try to correct all our problems, but it should have to be corrected it should be right the first time. All these instances added to the poor rating. I’ll definitely be back to seaside, But not this property and management company.

The location of the property is terrific. Cleanliness was disappointing and the property is fairly worn with stains on the skip covers and carpet. It needs some care and upgrading for sure. The air conditioning was also not adequate and we were all too hot at night. I left two messages for Royal Destinations to ask a question on the first day and never received a call back.

Let me start by saying the location of this house is ideal. Publix is less than a mile away and most things are a very short bike ride. We rarely used our vehicle. The house has more than enough bathrooms. The master bed was very comfortable and the shower was great. You can tell the house has been well loved by guests for many years. There was paint chipping on the banister and the living room couch wasn’t very comfortable and really needs to be replaced. My other main complaint was the outdoor furniture really should be replaced. The pool furniture had cigarette burns and was pretty dated and rough. The rooftop deck one of my big selling points has useless furniture. It was uncomfortable to sit on and felt like it might fall apart at any minute. It was unfortunate to not really be able to take advantage of this space. The pool deck also had a major fire ant problem.Again none of this ruined our stay, I guess I just expected a little more R this price point.If I was renting I’d consider this property just on location alone but I would look for other options first.

Great Location and Great House!
This house was great!! We had 3 families all with 3 kids and we all had plenty of beds and rooms for us all! Having the pool was amazing, however the pictures of the pool look way bigger than it actually was. It still was amazing tho! The door to the pool doesn’t close smoothly tho, so the pool door alarm kept going off all week which was a bit annoying.
For the amount of money we paid for this house, I would have loved more pool chairs to sit on outside, or even ANY chairs upstairs on the sun deck.
Also for the amount of rooms and people here, and money spent, the kitchen was not that great. Dishwasher didn’t work and we had to hand wash everything. The stove never got hot enough and bacon every morning took about an hour to cook. Some drawers wouldn’t open all the way due to poor design of the kitchen and then the pots and pans were mediocre as well. One baking pan, and nothing to put stuff in the oven on. This is a house that hosts a lot of people, but the kitchen does not. Plan to bring more pots and pans if you choose to eat in a lot.
Besides the kitchen stuff, and need of more chairs outside, this place was amazing and an even more amazing location.
Would come back!

The house looked beautiful inside as shown on the website photos. However, the pool I the front of the house next to the street so there wasn't much privacy. But, the worst thing was that the street was so dusty the the patio around the pool was covered with dust. I have been to the Seaside and Seagrove Beach area many times. I needed a larger home to house 10 ladies, some I have not seen in over 10 years. It was plenty big, but the kitchen was bit small and lack certain things that usually find in less pricy rentals. We had to run the washer and dryer daily after a day at the beach and everyone showering. It needed more bath towels per each bathrooms, only 4 coffee mugs and the rest were espresso size cups. More wine glasses would’ve been great. Also, a martini shaker, serving platter and salt and pepper in the pantry would be nice. ( There were empty salt and pepper shakers in the cabinet)The bathroom cabinet cabinet knobs were missing in the master bath. Upstairs bath light bulbs were too dim to put make up on. BUT THE WORST OF ALL, was the 1st floor AC UNIT WENT OUT on Saturday and they had to replace the entire unit. We had too many people staying and too many things to pack up for another rental. So, we decided to stay.( We were not offered an another rental either.) The property management was very diligent to have the AC guys put a new one in by Sunday evening. But, 9 women in their 50-60s could not get cooled for 36 hours when the interior temperature was 80+ in mid August in South Florida summer. Despite, all the issues, we had a great time and made lots of happy memories. But, I would not stay here again.There are plenty of rentals at the same price that is convenient to everything but with better amenities. I think I will speak to the management on the phone for a partial refund.

"You were great at your service and having someone come over and adjust the viewing of the TV. The living room and master bedroom TVs are located inside armoires that would not open enough for everyone in the room to see the TV. I requested that the doors be removed and the man that you sent over was very polite and helpful. The house did not seem to be up to your normal standards. I have rented properties through Royal Destinations before and been very pleased the quality of the homes. The rugs were very stained and marks on the door and some walls. The furniture in the living area was stained and the seating cushions were old and uncomfortable. The cushions in the eating area were stained and the table had scratched paint. The wood was chipped on the front door. The outdoor furniture was very old and had cigarette burns. There was a container of used cigarette buds left on the outside table."

My family and I had a wonderful stay at 143 Forest! Each room is well-appointed with bedding and bathroom linens. The kitchen is small but sufficient for a our family. I was concerned that there was very little dining space but we managed with all of the additional seating, including outdoors. Since the weather was cooler than expected, we chose to heat the pool during our stay- best decision!! My family used the pool every afternoon after the beach. Lastly, Royal Destinations called the day of check-in and one other day as a courtesy. Thank you for the wonderful week!

Loved this cute house! Will sleep 3-4 families with kids just fine!
I will say the living room rug needs to be replaced, not a deal breaker by any means but if u have little ones they may try to eat the loose strands.

143 Forest Street looked exactly like the pictured. The concierge was attentive to our questions and fixed a couple things that were broken immediately. We had 7 adults, 2 children and it was more than enough room! The location was great- short walk, and even shorter golf cart ride to seaside square and the beach.
