We stayed at Seaside Best Rentals for a long weekend. We enjoyed our stay. I liked getting an email before check in stating if we arrive early we could park and use the pool if the room wasn't ready. We rented a hotel style room. The room was nicely decorated and clean. The only issue I had was the sheets felt like the...

Thanks for adding your review, Emily W. Hurricane Hermine bypassed us (thankfully) with nothing but some rough water and high winds. We are grateful. We always have a good time with guests come rain or shine! It was an exciting weekend! We look forward to seeing you again!
Awesome place for my girlfriend and myself to stay for a weekend. Rooms are very clean and well kept. The staff is super friendly and helpful, they even had our room ready early for us to check in! Won't stay anywhere besides her when I'm in seaside, new favorite stay

Thanks for adding your review, Collin. Our hospitality staff members are great. They do their best to keep everything in tip-top shape and are always friendly and helpful to our guests. We depend on them to represent us in the best light. We can't always accommodate early check-ins because we need to thoroughly clean a...
This is not an actual motel, it is a condo complex that rents out owner's units. Since they are individual condos, they are updated, well maintained and far above the quality room you can get elsewhere. The unit we rented had a direct ocean view and it has an excellent view of the water and the end of the boardwalk. Th...

My first time here I stayed with my friend who has been staying for years! Location is great!

Thank you, springsteen73, for your review. Our heated pool and rooftop sundeck are always popular with guests. If you need more space, our one, two, and three bedroom units offer kitchens as well. The beach is just across the street which makes our location wonderful Hope you'll come again soon!
I've stayed here in the past and always enjoyed my stay. Let me preface by saying that the staff is always pleasant. The pool was clean and maintained. However, although I am aware that it is a beach area, the rooms are weathered and not cleaned properly. For the price I expected a cleaner room. First, I always check t...

We were visiting friends die by the Jersey Shore. The facilities are in a great location near the attractions. The room was clean and comfortable and they were family friendly. Nice location to visit the National Park and the amusements on the boardwalk.

We have stayed here in July and then again this month. I absolutely loved every minute of each stay. The rooms are the cleanest I've ever seen in Seaside and had plenty of room.

This marks my family's 61st year going to Seaside and our 16th year at this hotel.

Hello, Warnock family! We love when guests carry on the family tradition at the Jersey Shore.

Without a shadow of a doubt, this is the place to stay in Seaside. Our family keeps coming back year after year and we won't look anywhere else. Here you are walking distance away from the beach and boardwalk and on top of that, you have a pool to use if you are not feeling the beach one day. The rooms are always cl...

Great place to stay at the Jersey Shore. Close enough to the fun of the boardwalk but far enough for peace and quiet. Stayed in apt 351. Best view overlooking the pool and ocean.

Seaside Best Rentals is perfect for a one night get away and leaves you wanting to stay longer as well. Clean! Cozy! Convenient! Room, pool, and grounds were clean. Owners are welcoming from the start and room was ready for early check in. Cozy hotel style room is great for two. Second floor has less traffic and more p...

Stay away from unit 402, it's beat up and it smells terrible. In my life I've never felt the need to review a place we have gone to negatively, however this is the exception. There was tiles ripped off the wall, no grout around the tiny shower, molding coming off of the walls, holes on the backside of the bedroom door,...

We pride ourselves in maintaining our reputation as the cleanest and most family-friendly place in Seaside. The vast majority of reviews speak to this point. Our staff members work very hard and do a great job and they need time to properly clean between reservations.
We booked online based on the great reviews of the hotel. This is a condo unit and apparently all are in great condition except for room 402! This is a 3 bedroom condo. It smelled like bleach to the point of bothering my throat. When we inquired at the front desk they told us that there is something wrong with the AC u...

We are happy to respond to your review. Our housekeeping staff works hard to ensure every room is very clean. If guests arrive early, we do our best to allow for early check-in and in that case, the smell of bleach would still be evident. That odor disappears by check-in time and at least guests know every unit has rec...
Shower mold. My family and I are now sick due to the black mold in the shower. Switched to another room on the second floor which also had black mold in the shower. I do not recommend this hotel to anyone. Your best bet is to stay anywhere on the toms river side of the bridge before considering any where in Seaside.

We rented several rooms with family and friends and we had a blast. Walking distance to the beach and boardwalk but on the quite side of town. Great patio to sit with everyone to hang out. Wonderful pool and the rooms were roomy. We even had friends join us for the day and it was raining. We had a blast just hang...

Thanks so much for adding your review. We're so pleased you had a great time. We do have an amazing location right across from the beach and boardwalk, but in a quiet, family-friendly community. That's rare for Seaside. Glad you were able to enjoy our sundeck that overlooks the Atlantic. It's a favorite spot for many o...
This was a really nice place. My family of 5 decided to join my brother's family on a weekend trip. There were only 2 rooms left and upon the recommendation of the front office, booked a hotel style room on the 3rd floor. (One of my kids stayed with my brother in their 3 bedroom condo unit.). We actually did have an o...

Thanks for taking the time to leave your review. So glad we were able to find room for you at the last minute. That isn't always the case as most of our units book ahead into next season, so we're glad the timing worked out. Because beach badges are very expensive to replace, we do collect a cash deposit which is retur...
I consider Seaside Best Rentals at the Ocean Terrace my "home away from home" in the Summer. I have been booking rooms here for over twenty years--in my single days, newlywed phase, and now with my kids. Even after Hurricane Sandy and the horrible Boardwalk fire broke my heart, the Ocean Terrace still remains at the ...

Thanks for adding your great review. Many of us have also been coming to Seaside since we were kids and now our grandkids come to visit.

Stayed here for my cousin's surprise bachelorette party. We were 5 people, and they were very nice about letting us share a room made for 4. Location was PERFECT! Right near the boardwalk, close to everything you would need, but far enough from all the party places to where you aren't disturbed with the noise. It was w...

Clean and friendly, would stay here any time! Such a nice place and steps to the beach the people there could not be any more friendly if they tried. I was in a one bed room eficancy, the bath room is tiny but other than that there was plenty of room.

The year after Sandy hit the Jersey Shore, we could no longer stay in Ortley Beach because it looked like Ground Zero. We searched for a place to stay in the area and found Seaside Best Rentals!! Thank God we did. We stayed there for two weeks during our first stay, and by the time our vacation had ended, we felt li...

Wow! What a great review. We're sorry that your reason for first visiting us was Hurricane Sandy, but we are glad you found us. Our area has suffered quite a few blows. First a hurricane and then a boardwalk fire. After the fire, we were the hub for first responders who worked so hard to keep us safe. We offered our ro...

Stu & Maureen guided us through an exceptional long weekend at the beach! Our accommodations at The Ocean Terrace couldn't have been better for our family of four, spotless, and welcoming!

We loved it!! After living in Jersey for almost 10 years we decided to do the shore thing. The room was clean and comfortable for our stay. The cleaning lady was pleasant and left us extra towels. The boys liked that they could play their video games and FaceTime with friends. At first my husband was a little skeptical...

Glad we could make your first trip to the shore a successful and enjoyable one. We provide free beach badges which saves families lots of money.
