The house was spotless and just a short walk from the beach. It’s a wonderful spot for families. The hosts were very responsive to all our questions.

Great location, works well for a family of four or two couples. It’s an easily walk to the beach and the bikes make a ride into Seaside quick and enjoyable. Kitchen had everything we needed. Oversee does a great job of supplying the renter with starter items, laundry detergent included. We wish that the spa could be used on the pool but we were told that it is just an overflow spa and can’t operate as a hot tub. Super bummed, because the ocean water was cold and we wanted to warm up each day.

The location was great- everything was super clean and convenient. I loved the screened in porch that basically wrapped all the way around the house. It wasn’t the nicest place we have stayed but I would stay there again. Great price too

We loved staying at Special Purpose! Decently close walk to the beach and a little over a mile from Seaside proper. The pool was fabulous and the home was extremely clean. A great trip!

Oversee’s property, “Special Purpose” was extraordinary. Beautifully designed, open, close to everything, and yet so private and quiet. No traffic on this deadend street. Perfect Vacation. I have to return because the bar has been set high with this place!

Excellent house for a family of 4 with your own private pool and set up. The house is beautiful, several screened in porches, bikes, TV options, and all the dishes you need. It’s a 2 min bike ride to the beach (San Juan). Use Santa Clara Beach for more parking options which is 1 block from San Juan Beach.
