Coastal charm meets fresh, modern style at this beautifully renovated Seaside retreat, located just 161 feet from the beach and a short stroll from iconic Central Square. Designed for relaxed family gatherings, the home features four bedrooms, inviting living and dining spaces, an updated kitchen with a generous island and beverage fridge, and thoughtfully refreshed interiors throughout. Multiple porches extend the living space outdoors, offering comfortable settings for morning coffee, leisurely meals, and laid-back evenings, while the third-floor tower provides a peaceful spot to take in sunset views over Seaside. The thoughtfully arranged interiors balance shared spaces with plenty of privacy, including multiple ensuite accommodations, a playful custom bunk room, and convenient laundry facilities. Beyond the home, sugar-white sand, local dining, boutiques, and entertainment are all within easy reach, while access to swimming pools, tennis and pickleball courts, a fitness center, and complimentary rental bikes adds even more ways to enjoy the destination. With its exceptional walkability, polished coastal atmosphere, and spaces created for connection, this inviting retreat captures the effortless spirit of a memorable 30A escape.

KEY Curation Notes

Beach access is 151 feet from the front door — four houses to the West Ruskin Pavilion, Seaside's private residential beach. The walk takes under a minute.

Seaside's full resort amenity package is included: three community pools, five clay tennis courts, three pickleball courts (court fees apply), and a fitness center. A welcome tote with two beach towels, a complimentary bottle of wine, and two complimentary rental bikes from the Seaside Transit Authority are provided at arrival.

The third-floor glass-enclosed tower is the standout space — bar-top seating for four, club chairs, a Juliette balcony, and panoramic views of Seaside and glimpses of the Gulf. It's a genuine architectural feature, not a converted loft.

Bedrooms on two floors. A first-floor queen bedroom has its own en-suite bath with a walk-in shower. Upstairs, the expanded king primary suite has a double vanity, a walk-in shower with dual rain heads, and a separate toilet room, and the second king bedroom has its own en-suite bath plus a sitting area with a daybed. A custom bunk room with a twin-over-twin and a twin-over-queen uses a full hall bath with a tub-shower, and a powder room off the kitchen brings the total to 4.5 baths. The home sleeps 12.

No private pool — access is via the three Seaside community pools.

Golf carts are not available to rental guests. Seaside prohibits golf cart use by non-homeowners; all guest transportation is on foot or by bike.

Nearby construction may affect the stay — the PM flags this directly and recommends contacting them for current details before booking.

Reviews

Brenda M

We thoroughly enjoyed this wonderful cottage right in the middle of Seaside, Florida and 30A. What a great location! It is only 4 houses to the beach. We loved the front porch for enjoying our coffee in the morning and refreshments in the evening. It truly was a great setting for our family trip. The rooms were spacious and beds were comfortable. Thank you to the property management company for helping us find this gem and getting us acclimated to Seaside!
