Information about the Resort
This guide provides basic information about the units and resort. If you aren't sure about anything or have questions, please reach out.
- No smoking - There is no smoking permitted inside any of the units, including tobacco and cannabis. If you chose to smoke outside, please use the ashtrays provided. Guests will be charged a $200 cleaning fee if we find they have been smoking inside any unit.
- Internet- All guests have access to our password-protected Wifi network during their stay. The log-in information is posted in all the units and at the top of this page.
- TV and Cable- Every unit has a TV, a high-definition cable box, and a remote. Click here to see the list of channels . We also have two Roku Streaming sticks that can be signed out at the front office, if you want to stream shows from your own device. To borrow, please complete this form.
- Garbage and Recycling- Every unit has a garbage can with white bags, and an additional plastic bin to collect recycling (under the sink or in a closet). Garbage bags can be dropped off in the big grey bin by the barn, beside the pay phone. No loose garbage please, just let us know if you need additional garbage bags. There are blue bins for recycling (can be loose)- including beverage containers (beer bottles, wine bottles, cans), and other recycling (cardboard, plastic containers).
- Air Conditioning and Heat - Every unit has an air conditioning unit (heat pump with remote control) and baseboard heaters.
- You can adjust the cooling temperature of your unit up or down or turn it off, but please do not change the mode (from heat to cool, or vice versa). The mode of the units are set for the whole building (e.g., air conditioning). During the summer, if you need heat, you can turn on the baseboard heaters and turn off the air conditioning.
- If the windows are open, please turn off the air conditioning! It is hard on the units to run with the windows opened, and this action pulls excessive moisture into the rooms.
- Pets - No pets are allowed in the units, unless it is a pet-friendly designated unit (Hopewell and Fauna). We are firm on this rule, no exceptions made. Please read our Pet Policy for more information.
- Linens - All units are equipped with bed linens and towels. There are two bath towels per person in the units. If you need fresh towels during your stay, please let our housekeeping staff know or text us.
- Cleaning supplies- In your unit, you will find a broom (e.g., in a closet), a dish rack under the sick, dish soap, scrubby, all-purpose cleaner and some cleaning rags. You will be provided a dish cloth and drying towels, generally left on your kitchen counter or on the microwave.
- Drip coffee makers - All units have drip coffee makers and coffee filters provided. You can bring your own coffee or purchase some freshly ground local coffee at the front office.
- Keys: Each unit has their own unique key and keys must be returned at check-out. If you take the key by mistake, please let us know and mail it back at your earliest convenience. Key replacement cost is $100. Thank you!
Information about the Resort
- Accessing the Beach - Guests of Seaside can access four staircases down to the beach from the property. There is a staircase at either end of the boardwalk, one off the shared front deck, and one more on the far east side. At peak high tide, the water will be up to the stairs and you won't be able to access the beach - you'll need to wait a few hours for the tide to recede.
- Shared Guest Outdoor Spaces - Guests of Seaside can relax in various oceanfront spaces across the property, including the large lawn, the boardwalk, the waterfront deck, and the side deck. You will see picnic tables, Muskoka chairs, and BBQs around for general use in these areas. These shared spaces have been designated by a chair icon and picnic tables on the map of Seaside.
- Parking - There is one standard-sized parking spot per unit provided at the resort. Any additional cars or oversized vehicles need to park on the street.
- EV Chargers for electric cars - There is one EV Charging station on the property, just off Water Street. The charger is operated by the Flo network. The rates are $1.50/hour for the first four hours, then it increases $5/hour.
- Late night restaurant access in town - We have wonderful choices for restaurants in Saint Andrews, but the majority of local restaurant kitchens close around 8:30-9pm. If you plan to arrive after 9pm and think you will need a meal, we encourage you to bring along a few snacks and/or something to cook in your unit.
- Laundry - Guests may use the laundry facilities between 3:00 pm and 9:00 pm. Laundry detergent pods are available for sale at the front office ($2 per pod/load).
- Quiet Hours - Quiet hours are between 11:00 pm and 7:00 am and are strictly enforced. Please be mindful of the other guests. This is a relaxed and restful retreat, not the right spot for late parties. Our shared guests spaces are for registered guests.
- Fire - Open fires including fireworks and bonfires are not permitted.
- Fire Table: We are piloting having a propane fire table on the lawn for our guests to enjoy safely. For more information, please review the instructions and rules of use here. The main rules are: 1. no food/marshmallows and 2. Do not leave the fire unattended at any time.
- Tap water - We are on the Saint Andrews municipal water supply and it is safe to drink.
- Security - The exterior of the property is monitored by security cameras, and shared spaces are for registered guests.
- Responsible alcohol and cannabis consumption is permitted on the property by guests of legal age. However, excessive intoxication, disorderly conduct, aggressive or abusive behavior, property damage, illegal activity, or disturbance to neighbours is strictly prohibited. If this happens, the host may require the guest and their group to immediately vacate the property, without refund, and may involve law enforcement if necessary.
- Communication via text - If you have provided us your cell phone number, you will receive a text from our messaging system 'Hello Shift' after check-in. You can text the team questions or reach out if you need something.
- Local Coffee - We have a limited supply of freshly-ground coffee available for purchase at the front office ($5). The coffee is from the local coffee shop Honeybeans.
- Lawn Games - On the left side of the big lawn, there is a small hut with lawn games (e.g., horseshoes, cornhole) for your use. We also have a kite available - come to the front office if you want to give it a whirl.
- Board Games - We have board games on a shelf in the laundry room, help yourself!
- Yoga mats- We have two yoga mats you can sign out at the front desk, for use during your stay. To borrow, you'll need to complete this form. Welcome the sunrise over the ocean with a warrior pose on the front deck.
- Dark Sky and Star Parties: We are a Dark Sky partner with Cliff Valley Astronomy, with amazing star gazing opportunities. You can see a schedule of meteor showers and celestial events here - The Perseids meteor shower in August should be a good one! We have a pair of binoculars you can borrow for more in-depth star-gazing, as well as a binder highlighting major astro-events to look for in the night sky. You can access the monthly Dark Sky information sheets to explore the night sky.
- Drones: To project guest safety, privacy, and wildlife, the use of drones is not permitted anywhere at Seaside Beach Resort.
- Free shuttle: The town operators a free hop-on-hop-off shuttle in the summer on Thursday, Friday and Saturday afternoons. You can take the shuttle to the Aquarium and Kingsbrae Garden. To see the pick up location schedules, check out the Huntsman website
