Beach access

Tucked along peaceful Forest Street just steps from the Seaside Chapel and town center, Simplicity is a beautifully renovated beach cottage that blends effortless style with the warmth of a true family retreat. Surrounded by lush pathways and just a short walk from the West Side Pool and W. Ruskin beach pavilion, this thoughtfully designed home offers the perfect base for coastal adventures and memory-making moments. Expansive porches on both levels set the tone for relaxation, with Adirondack seating, a porch swing, and glowing evening lights creating a setting that feels both inviting and timeless. Inside, the open-concept layout is designed for gathering—whether it’s movie night in the living room, family meals around the dining table, or breakfast prepped in the fully updated kitchen with stone countertops and a Sub-Zero fridge. With four bedrooms—two with ensuite baths—and a cozy top-floor tower room complete with a futon and PlayStation 4, the home offers flexible space for families, friends, and little ones alike. A lighted side yard, outdoor shower, grill deck, and designated parking add convenience, while designer details and coastal charm deliver an unforgettable stay in the heart of Seaside.

Reviews

Libby J.

This Simply Beautiful home is perfect for our girls trip, and our family trip to Seaside! It’s located a few doors down from the sweetest Seaside chapel where we got to see wedding guests arrive out our kitchen window on one of our stays. It is such a beautifully decorated well appointed house located in a convenient, yet quiet, safe street. It’s close enough to the beach, restaurants, and shopping, yet far enough to be quiet, safe, and private. Everything you could want is within a couple blocks making it easy for everyone in your party to come and go from the beach, shopping, restaurants safely as you wish. I can’t recommend this beautiful, comfortable home enough for your getaway to Seaside. AKA “Pleasantville! You will definitely want to come back and make more life long memories here! ENJOY your stay at SIMPLICITY!
