About this property

Seaside, FL Boutique Hotel – Renovated & Central, Pet Friendly, + 2 Bikes

The Court 9 Queen Room | Pet Friendly Seaside Retreat

Enjoy a relaxed yet refined stay at The Court, a thoughtfully restored motor court located in the heart of Seaside Florida and just steps from the Gulf. Following an extensive eighteen month renovation, this iconic property blends the nostalgic charm of classic road trip travel with the modern comforts today’s guests expect, creating one of the most distinctive vacation rentals in the Florida Panhandle.

This Queen room overlooks The Lawn, The Court’s beautifully landscaped central garden, offering a quiet and calming setting while keeping you moments from Seaside’s vibrant town center. Inside, coastal elegance meets functionality with a queen bed dressed in luxurious Peacock Alley linens, Serena and Lily furnishings, and ample built in storage so you can fully unpack and settle in. A custom desk provides space to work or check email, while an under counter refrigerator and Nespresso coffee station add everyday convenience.

The private bathroom feels spa inspired, featuring a marble tiled shower with a rainfall showerhead and wand, a generous vanity, and plush robes for unwinding after a day in the sun. Blackout shades, thoughtful soundproofing, and modern comforts help ensure restful nights throughout your stay.

Step outside to your private porch and unwind on the custom hanging bed with a cozy throw, an inviting spot for morning coffee or an evening glass of wine. Beach access is effortless with the Ruskin Street Pavilion directly across the street and the iconic Coleman Pavilion just one block away.

One of The Court’s most loved features is its unbeatable location. The Seaside amphitheater, charming Airstream food vendors, unique boutiques, and local restaurants are all steps from your door, yet the property remains tucked away from the noise once you return to your room.

This room is pet friendly and welcomes one dog up to fifty pounds, making it easy to bring your four legged companion along for your Seaside escape.* Pets are allowed with certain restrictions and provisions. An additional $50 a day rental pet fee will be collected in addition to the flat $100 pet fee. Pets will not be allowed on furniture.

Not our favorite trio to Seaside

Rating Details: The property manager was more than 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 do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Great location but details were off this time. We tried to call the concierge many times. No one ever answered. We didn’t receive the proper information via email or written in our room also. We got a gate code that went to nothing. Bad info on beach chairs rental and no info on access to gym. We got it once we asked but had to text a lot to get answers. Our room was also extremely bright at night and it was difficult to sleep. We use Homeowners collection every time we stay in Seasode and have never had any issues. Dan was nice and helped out a lot.

The court - great service but locale of room was less then ideal

The property manager Dan was great. Always available. He is not to blame for our poor stay. The place was very clean. But our room was literally right next to a public restroom and restaurant w outdoor seating. It has breakfast, so we were worked up early every day. Also by deliveryrucks. We will not stay at the court again

Size of a dorm with price of a luxury hotel

Pros: location and beach access. Cons: TINY - just a queen bed and bathroom; no space for additional furniture No housekeeping service No daily garbage pickup - unless requested No clean towels - $50 fee to get clean set No daily restocking of coffee, water No privacy /No sunshine - with shades up, everyone walking on the path in front of your room can see inside; with shades down, you can’t enjoy the sunshine Definitely wouldn’t recommend.

A Perfect Anniversary Getaway at The Court in Seaside – Romantic,

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: My wife and I spent our anniversary at The Court in Seaside, Florida, and it was nothing short of magical. From the moment we arrived, we were taken by the charm of this beautifully designed property nestled in the heart of Seaside. The white sand beaches and the breathtaking Emerald Coast created the perfect backdrop for what turned out to be the best beach day we’ve ever had—ideal weather, peaceful atmosphere, and stunning views.The location is unbeatable. Everything we wanted—from boutique shopping and art galleries to delicious food and vibrant bars—was just steps away. We parked once and walked everywhere, which made the entire experience even more enjoyable and relaxing.The layout of the property was something special. Each room surrounds a beautifully manicured grassy courtyard that adds a sense of serenity and intimacy. Our room was quiet, romantic, and thoughtfully designed—perfect for a couple’s retreat. It truly felt like a hidden gem.The manager was also incredibly hospitable and made sure we felt welcomed and well taken care of throughout our stay, which added a warm, personal touch.This anniversary trip will stay with us forever. We absolutely loved our time at The Court in Seaside and can’t wait to come back. Highly recommended for couples looking for a memorable and romantic escape.

What a disappointment

Rating Details: The property manager was very unhelpful. The vacation rental was clean. I was very happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We werePlaces in a unit next to a huge generator that ran 24/7. I asked to be moved since only a few units were occupied and was told even though I have a service animal card that each unit was individually owned and we were not allowed to move. Left 2 days early due to constant noise and was not reimbursed for the 2 days. Found out from on-site agent, all units are corporate owned. No individual owners.

4/5 - Great Staff and Clean! Convenient location brings noise.

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: Overall we had a lovely stay. It was clean and the staff was very kind and helpful. We didn't expect there to be no bathroom door, not ideal, and not that we went to watch tv but to note it is not lined up with the bed making it difficult to watch at all. We took our honeymoon in June and to my surprise, by no fault of The Court, Seaside was much busier than I had ever seen. But, with our room being on the road just behind the town center there was noise all night long, people talking and cars driving by. There was also noise from the coffee shop right outside our door at 6:30am, but it was convenient to have Black Bear right outside and is in walking distance to everything you'd want in Seaside.
