About this property

Pet-Friendly Guest Cottage in Great Location, Seaside, FL!

1 king, 1 queen sleeper sofa, sleeps 4 total.

Pet friendly up to 25 lbs

Moonlight Hug has a prime central Seaside location just steps to Seaside Avenue, a 3-minute walk to the beach, and a 2-minute walk to downtown Seaside Central Square and Seaside Amphitheater. Park your car in the private driveway and walk to over 35 shops and restaurants just minutes from your front door! This large 1 bedroom guest cottage to the neighboring ('Beachside Kiss') is named 'Moonlight Hug' and is a two-story stand-alone guest cottage with its own private driveway and parking and is the perfect cottage for a romantic getaway or a small family vacation. And you can bring Fido too - it's pet-friendly up to 25 pounds.

Moonlight Hug is one of the larger guest cottages along Scenic 30A and it boasts high ceilings, open living and dining spaces, and an oversized primary king-bedroom suite with a private bath and balcony. And to make things even better - the cottage sleeps 4 with the help of a pull-out sofa in the living room down!

The main level is where you'll find your living and dining areas complete with a large flat-screen TV, a good-sized kitchen with granite counter tops, bar seating for 2 more, and additional seating for 2 more at a cafe table. The full kitchen offers a five-burner electrical stovetop and full oven, dishwasher, microwave, full-size refrigerator (with water dispenser), coffee pot, and toaster; all you need to prepare a meal at home. Off the living area is a small screened porch with Adirondack seating for two, perfect for a morning coffee escape.

The king primary is upstairs with a private TV, private screened balcony, and private shower/bath combo with a tiled sink. The private screened balcony off the queen has Adirondack seating for two and is a great escape for an evening cocktail or an afternoon book.

May you enjoy many moonlight hugs and beachside kisses when staying at this lovely 1 bedroom cottage located directly behind Seaside's town square and steps to the beautiful white, sandy beaches along 30A.

Really enjoyed Seaside.

Birthday Sister Trip

We very much enjoyed our stay in Seaside this trip! Our cottage was so close to the town center so being able to walk everywhere was perfect. Everyone we encountered was super nice & friendly which makes a vacation that much better! Our mini dachshunds got to tag along with us & they had a great time as well! We will be back for sure!!

Last Summer Getaway

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Quaint little home, but king size bedroom. Easy walking distance to everything that is Seaside. (Even a close walk to the private beach). A wonderful welcome package awaited us on our arrival. But, just enough off the square for a quiet retreat away from the hustle and bustle of the crowd. You won’t be disappointed...😎

Great for Couple + Toddler

Just enough space for the three of us- easy walking distance to town center and playground. Screened in porches helped keep little on safe. We brought our own travel toddler bed.

My only complaint with the cottage is that it needs some TLC. It was looking a little run down. Especially for the money. It needs some fresh paint and upkeep.

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: This cute cottage is room enough for two! We loved the screened porches! And it is a great location! So close to Central Square and the Beach! The home could use a few extra items, like hangers in the closet (there is only one!) and a few more glasses might be nice as well. But we really enjoyed our stay!

Moonlight Hug Needs HELP!

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was somewhat dirty. I was very happy with the location. I was very dissatisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: The Moonlight Hug is not in any shape for guest accommodations. I have already sent photos of the shabby conditions of this home. Distressed floors, cabinetry, paint and a dearth of kitchen supplies make this a very run down property. Porches and doors are grimy and uninviting as is the outdoor furniture.

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: This cute cottage is right in the heart of Seaside with easy access to all Seaside offers! The kitchen has been updated and nicely equipped - but who wants to cook when you're in Seaside? Two screened porches on the back of the cottage offered a nice breeze and place for our dog linger. Thank you for being a PET FRIENDLY cottage!! Moonlight Hug is a perfect size for 2 - 3 people. Parking can easily accommodate one car and golf cart.

A great getaway, but needs some polishing.

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was somewhat dirty. 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: This is our second time staying in Moonlight Hug. We chose to stay here again because of its ample space, great location, and convenient parking! We noticed that the room upgraded to a king bed with a new couch/chair downstairs. Those were great additions! The only downside was the overall cleanliness of the home. There was a lot of hair/dust bunnies piled up in corners that could easily be addressed with a vacuum, but made me feel a little uneasy about how much cleaning had been done prior to our arrival. I’m sure it is difficult being a pet friendly home, but when you have a toddler crawling all over the floor, it’s hard to not notice. Overall, it’s a great stay, but would highly suggest a good clean and perhaps updating the upstairs furniture.
