Welcome to Heavy Water, the guest house of 'Moon Tower'.

Park your car and explore all Seaside offers on foot or by bike.

This guest cottage features its own private charcoal grill and four distinct outdoor areas: a screened-in front porch at the entrance, a rear open-air porch off the kitchen overlooking a sandy foot path, an open-air deck at the back overlooking nature with seating for two and a screened-in porch off the primary bedroom upstairs with a bench swing. These multiple outdoor options provide ample space for relaxation. The screened front porch with two rockers is perfect for enjoying your morning coffee. Inside, the first floor boasts an open living area, a full bathroom, a mounted flat-screen TV, one dining bistro area that seats two to four, and a queen sleeper sofa for additional guests.

The property was as depicted. The management company for the property (Homeowners Collection) is excellent at providing service and communicating. This property is sized for two people; three or four would be a stretch. There are two bathrooms (one upstairs with the bedroom and one downstairs). There is a sofa which can open up to a sleeper but we did not find the sofa to be especially comfortable. If you're using the sofa as sleeper, then there is no living room area when the sleeper is opened. There is a kitchen and it has the essentials but is bare-boned. Location of property is excellent...just as described in terms of access to beach. And a heated pool is maybe 30 yards from the property. The Seaside complex also has several other facilities, e.g., fitness center, 2 other pools, tennis and pickleball courts.

Heavy Water ( the back house)

We had a great stay! The location was great. There are lots of stores for shopping and places to eat within walking distance We needed an extra car pass, so that was a bit of a pain. We could only have one. My husband came later and he had to park pretty far away.The public park didn’t allow overnight parking , which I thought was odd. The rental company was very helpful and easy to reach for questions. The kids loved having the bikes! The pull out couch was as very uncomfortable. Luckily my husband was able to bring an air mattress. The beach was beautiful and we had big waves! We did rent chairs and umbrellas even though we brought some. Overall a great trip.

Wonderful stay, excellent property, very clean, wonderful amenities. Didn’t use the bikes, as we purely stayed in seaside to go to the beach, but overall the property allowed for a very relaxing and comfortable. My only complaint was the proximity to the beach was a little over 3 minutes, but not significantly more at all. 10/10 would stay again!
