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.

The famous New England artist Susan Sargent has just featured “Once Upon A Time” – one of the most vibrant looking homes at Seabrook – on her official website. Janet Kronbach, who owns this home together with her husband David, was inspired by Susan’s unique interior-design philosophy. This method implies using lavish colors in the owner’s own creative way for a unique setting each and every time.

With a distinct Swedish feel to it, the home found it’s place on Susan Sargent’s website complimented with a brief description from the owner on the idea for the design.
