Located Across From Beach in Seaside, Wrap-Around Porches + 2 Adult Bikes!

This three-bedroom, three-bath shaded retreat is located directly across from the beach and just one block to the Seaside town center. Located at the corner of East Ruskin Street and 30A, Waterside is directly across from the East Ruskin private residential beach access. You can sun all day and return home to the cool, shaded seclusion of this comfortable home. Waterside is surrounded by native live oaks to provide a cool and private respite from that wonderful summer sun and passers-by alike. Upon arrival, you will enter Waterside through its expansive large wrap-around screened-in front porch furnished with deck chairs and a dining table for 6.

The first floor consists of an open living, dining, and kitchen area, a bedroom with a King bed, a second bedroom with two twin beds, two baths, and every room opens onto a screened porch or deck via French doors. The spacious galley kitchen opens onto the screened porch, as well as the back deck, making it convenient for serving meals or just having morning coffee on the deck.

The second floor is entirely devoted to the king primary suite. If it were not for the draw of the beach, you might find yourself spending all your time in this extra-large room with a natural plank cathedral ceiling and open rafters, a balcony to enjoy gulf breezes, and if you must bring the laptop, there is a work table. The primary bath has an oversized tub that is perfect for relaxing.

The back deck of Waterside accesses one of Seaside's quaint footpaths that will take you on the short walk to the town center.

Waterside has everything you need, including high-speed Internet access, for a memorable stay at the beach.

Waterside is lovely!

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: The house is great, it’s my second time in it. You can’t beat the location. Beds are comfy. The grill outside is too old and beyond use, the oven isn’t reliable-doesn’t stay heated at temp you set it too, and the dehumidifier fan upstairs makes a loud noise and cuts on and off automatically so a few times in the night it would wake us and we’d get up to turn it off. Nothing major, but worth noting. Again, I love the house and you can’t beat the location.

Perfect location

By far the easiest vacation we’ve taken as a family. Beach right across the street, a little shopping & eating just steps away. Soooo easy & relaxing. House was very clean, communication was superb. The only downfall for us was the beds. We were hurting after a few nights sleeping on those beds but our stay was still enjoyable! There is a park at the back of the neighborhood to take your kid(s) to as well! Everything is in very close vicinity to make your trip easy & relaxing. Location is perfect!

The master bath of this cottage had been recently updated, and it's not reflected in the photos online -- it's beautiful!
