About a month ago, we asked some of you for your feedback as guests of Seabrook Cottage Rentals. While we all know surveys aren’t a ton of fun, the sheer number of guests who took the time to respond was tremendous and made us all extremely proud!

Your feedback is invaluable to us. It not only points out the positive aspects of our beach town, but it also helps us ensure that each of your visit to Seabrook is better than the rest.

The memories you shared made us smile, made us laugh, and also made us aware of great ways to improve the Seabrook experience for everyone. For this, we are sincerely grateful and hope to see you all at the beach again soon.

Of the 700+ surveys filled out, two questions in particular mean a lot to us and make us think we are continuing to meet and exceed your expectations.

Over 95% of you enjoyed your stay at Seabrook, while more than 92% will come back and vacation at Seabrook again!

But enough with the numbers. As you all know, your survey submission entered you in the drawing for a free weekend in one of our beach vacation rentals.

Without further ado, the winner of the free weekend is …drum roll please…
A. Rosenthal of Seattle, WA!

Thank you again to everyone who took the time to tell us how much you enjoyed staying at Seabrook’s beach cottages.

Stay tuned to the Seabrook Blog, Facebook and Twitter for more ways to win weekend giveaways in the future!

Whew, this was a tough one. Earlier this summer, we asked you all to share your favorite things to do while at Seabrook. In a short time we received a lot of really good responses from both homeowners and guests! While that made it difficult to select the winner of the contest, we finally found one post that comprehensively summarized many fun things to do while on the Washington coast.

So without further ado, please join us in congratulating Dana H. for being the winner of Seabrook’s summer contest!!

Dana will receive a $50 Gift Certificate to Seabrook’s favorite dining spot, the Mill 109 Restaurant & Pub. Her response was very well written and had a very unique perspective given the fact that she lives in Arizona. Here is what she wrote:

Coming from hot Arizona, Seabrook is always a welcome relief from the dust and heat.

The top things that we have done in Seabrook and the Seabrook area are as follows:

• Relax. Seabrook is very laid back and it’s easy to just relax and kick back for a while
• Watch a movie. Most, if not all rental homes have a DVD player and after the drive from Seattle it is nice to just sit down, relax, and watch a movie to unwind.
• Cool Off. Especially for people like me coming from out of state it is nice to be somewhere it can be sunny and cool, cloudy and cool, or windy and cold. Any one of these is better than where I am coming from and an enjoyable experience. A great memory I have from Seabrook is sitting by the fire outside watching the mist “rolling through the air” from the trees. Hard to explain, just something that has to be experienced!

As you may already know, the Coastal Living Ultimate Beach House at Seabrook was open for tours for 4 months, during which thousands of visitors from all over the country journeyed over to Seabrook for a sneak peek.

We thought it would be fun to enter every visitor into a contest, for a prize consisting of many fun little gifts straight from the Seabrook Giftshop and one main prize – a free weekend stay at Seabrook!

We recently compiled all the tickets together and drew one lucky guest. Needless to say, we have a winner!

Ladies and gentlemen, without further ado, we are proud to announce that Kim M. from Burien, WA is the winner of the Ultimate Beach House Visitors Contest!

Congratulations to Kim from the whole Seabrook Team! Be ready to receive a gift basket of Seabrook goodies that will contain the free weekend voucher for your stay at Seabrook.

Each year, Seabrook’s Photo Challenge contest brings the best pictures from Seabrook in one place and gives out awards to the most impressive ones.

We had over 300 pictures submitted for this year’s Photo Challenge and of those, 12 images were handpicked for the Seabrook 2011 Calendar!

Each photographer of the winning pictures will receive a $100 gift card to the Mill 109 Pub-restaurant (opening at Seabrook in early 2011). In addition, the cover picture winner will get a free beach cruiser bike – a well-known trademark of Seabrook’s lifestyle.

Ladies and gentlemen, without further ado, we present to you the 2010 Seabrook Photo Challenge Winners!

Thousands of people from the Pacific Northwest (and beyond) visit Seabrook each year in pursuit of a good time at the beach. And why wouldn’t they? Seabrook is the only place on the Washington coast that offers high-quality lodging, free bikes for cruising around town, many different activities and amenities, and most importantly, access to the long sandy beaches of the central Washington coast!

Seabrook Cottage Rentals strives to make housing accommodations as comfortable and relaxing as possible for those who stay at Seabrook. To see what our guests think of our services, we ask each of them to complete a Cottage Rental Survey after their stay.

By getting direct feedback from our guests on a number of questions, we are able to pinpoint our strengths and identify areas that need further improvement.

This year, over 90% of Seabrook’s vacation rental visitors were extremely satisfied with their stay at Seabrook! Whoo-hoo!

We’d like to thank everyone that provided feedback about their time spent at our beach town. As a reward, we offered one FREE WEEKEND for the luckiest responder to our survey of the last 6 months. So without further ado, we present to you the winner!

Congratulations to Amanda Jones from North Seattle for winning the Cottage Rental Survey Contest!

Please email us at rewards@seabrookwa.com to learn how to claim your free weekend getaway. In addition, you will receive 4 tickets to the Ultimate Beach House, which is open for tours for only one more week!

A heartfelt thank you to everyone that comes and stays at Seabrook, especially those that participate in providing feedback to us. If you have stayed at one of our cozy cottages but have not had a chance to fill out the survey, contact us and we will send you the link to the survey online.

See you all at the beach!
