Private guest cottage in iconic Seaside

1 bedrooms·1 bathrooms·4 guests·783 sq/ft
Beach access

Tucked away in the heart of Seaside, Gravy is a beautifully renovated designer guest cottage that offers an intimate coastal escape just moments from the beach, Central Square, and Seaside's beloved restaurants, boutiques, and community amenities. Designed for couples or small families, this award-winning retreat combines thoughtful architecture with modern comforts, creating a private sanctuary in one of 30A's most iconic beach towns. Recognized with the 2018 Seaside Prize for its exceptional design by renowned architect Deborah Berke, Gravy is as distinctive as it is inviting. The home's unique two-level layout offers both privacy and functionality. A private entrance welcomes guests into the first floor, where the tranquil primary suite features a modern four-poster queen bed, built-in storage, and direct access to a screened front porch with classic rocking chairs—an ideal setting for slow mornings or quiet evenings. This level also includes a beautifully appointed bathroom with heated floors, a spacious walk-in shower, and a conveniently integrated washer and dryer. Upstairs, walls of windows fill the open-concept living space with natural light, while the custom kitchen showcases premium stainless steel appliances, a farmhouse sink, wine refrigerator, and a large island with bar seating. The adjoining living area includes a queen sleeper sofa, allowing the cottage to comfortably accommodate up to four guests. An open-air balcony overlooking Forest Street offers the perfect perch for morning coffee or an evening glass of wine while taking in the charm of Seaside's walkable streets. Guests also enjoy the rare convenience of a private driveway and dedicated parking space, along with easy access to the Seaside Swim & Tennis Club, fitness center, and the sugar-white beaches just a short stroll away. Blending award-winning design, a thoughtful floor plan, and one of Seaside's most desirable locations, Gravy is a boutique coastal retreat designed for effortless vacations and unforgettable stays.

KEY Curation Notes

A five-minute walk to the beach — private Seaside residential access at East Ruskin Pavilion is 352 yards from the door. Not beachfront, but an easy walk through the neighborhood.
2018 Seaside Prize winner for architecture — designed by early Seaside architect Deborah Berke, the cottage punches well above its size in design terms.
One queen bedroom plus a queen sleeper sofa — sleeps up to four, with the bedroom on the ground floor and the living area upstairs. One bathroom total, shower only.
Custom kitchen with a five-burner gas cooktop, wine fridge, and farmhouse sink — well above the standard for a one-bedroom cottage. The layout works for cooking in rather than eating out every night.
Screened porch off the bedroom and an open balcony off the living room — two distinct outdoor spaces for a small footprint. The front porch with rocking chairs is a standout.
Two complimentary bikes included; three community pools accessible — pools are heated off-season. The cottage is steps from the fitness center and Seaside's adult and family pools.
Starter supplies provided; Modica Market is a short walk — for a full grocery haul before arrival, KEY.co can arrange delivery.

Jeff

Loved everything about our stay at Gravy - especially the easy walking and biking proximity to everything Seaside has to offer (and fun bike trails behind WaterColor as well). Very clean and exactly as described. Would definitely rent here again.
