Universal Video - Video store in Seaside - 47 N Holladay Dr, USA

The gentleman there was very helpful and informative. I loved the calm atmosphere with a hint of excitement. Talk about memories. Better than a Blockbuster. Took my son to experience and learn a little something about real movies. I see a new tradition for our family beginning real soon.

A wonderful business that has stood the test of time, run by two great guys. One of my favorite parts of Seaside, and as iconic to our town as the Turnaround, the Cove, or the Prom (at least in my mind). Makes me wish I had more time to watch movies. A truly one-of-a-kind film and television collection coupled with top tier movie aficionados behind the counter.

We stopped by here while on vacation, the person in the store who I assume was the owner was so nice and welcoming, asked us if we were looking for something and I told him we stopped by for the nostalgia and was still so friendly. I asked if I could take some pictures and he said it was absolutely fine. His selection of movies is more diverse that the blockbusters and Hollywood videos when they were open. Awesome experience, give this store a visit , it’s amazing

One of coolest stores ever. They still rent VHS!

I've been going here for 16 years and Jim and Steve are SO nice. I always leave with what seems like a brand new movie, and return it with satisfaction of my purchase. Universal Video is by far my favorite video rental place.

My family and I took a recent trip over to Seaside/Cannon Beach for a quick getaway. My wife suggested I get a movie from our hotel that happened to rent out DVDs so that we could watch something with our son before bedtime. Sure enough, the hotel ran out of kids movies (pretty sure my son didn't care to watch Field of Dreams, he's just a toddler). On our second day of our trip I decided to stop by Universal Video. For a city folk like myself, the first impression is that this video rental store reminded me of an old library. It had that smell of old cardboard (all the VHS boxes they had probably helped). This place just seemed old, but that's kind of how Seaside is. At any rate, the selection of DVDs/VHS were incredible. I saw movies I hadn't heard of in years. They had old promo cardboard cutouts too. The nostalgia factor is enough for me to visit again the next time I make a trip out. The owner (I assume) behind the desk was so friendly and knowledgeable and you could tell he was genuinely excited to sign me up as a "member" of this video store. If you drive or walk by, do not judge this place by the cover. There are so many hidden gems in this store, it's worth the stop. Don't even think about a RedBox for movies, this place will have what you're looking for and more. Excellent collection, excellent memorabilia, excellent service. Thanks Universal Video!

Thankfully these brothers have kept alive what many of us love! A REAL video store with folks who know and love film! Having relocated, one of the best finds is this store within a short walking distance! Great owners, plenty of choices! Life is fabulous in Seaside!

Basic video store. A little on the small side but overall it was a good experience. The customer service was normal and attentive. The store has most of the latest titles and wide selections of movie genres to choose from. I wish they sold movies as well as rent. That would make this a 5* for me personally.
