I am headed to Seaside next week and will be bringing all my gear including food. I received notice today regarding Cabana Man rentals for beach access. I also, as a previous poster stated, find it egregious. Lately we have rented condos above the town square because the views are gorgeous and it is great people watching. We did know from previous times that we do not get wrist bands when you stay in that particular area. I also understand that there does need to be a limit to people accessing the beach from Coleman during this time. I have also rented from Cabana Man on many occasions when I have wanted a beach setup. I will absolutely not rent from him this time nor ever again! For a family of 4 it would cost $985 for 1 umbrella and 4 chairs at Colman, if I were to rent the same setup from a Pavillion entry point it would only cost $523 for 5 days. I really don't see the need to gouge people at Coleman entry, if it were the same cost I would rent but there is no way in hell I am gonna pay more at one entry point over another. Going forward do what Watercolor does, put up a gate or security and only let people with access cards or bracelets on the beach that actually rent/own in Seaside. I will still thoroughly enjoy myself but cannot stand being squeezed! Happy Friday!
my 12 year old uses “Karen: requesting the manager”, too— you’re cute! Trust me I’m not insulted.
