About this property

Renovated in Seaside, Tower w/Views, Many Porches & Outdoor Dining+ 2 Bikes!

3 Kings, 1 XL Twin Bunk Room (Sleeps 2), Bonus Bunk Room Sleeps 4 (2 bunks standard twin) (home sleeps 12 in all)

Welcome to Blessings by the Sea, a beautifully renovated and exceptionally maintained cottage nestled in the heart of Seaside, Florida. This spacious retreat is thoughtfully designed with multiple porches, an open-air tower, and a lighted courtyard deck that creates a seamless connection between indoor comfort and outdoor living. From the moment you arrive, you’re greeted by expansive porches—both upstairs and down—that span the entire front of the home. The first-floor open-air porch offers classic Adirondack rockers and a whimsical pineapple bench, while the adjacent lighted deck features additional seating and an alfresco dining area for four. Whether you're sipping morning coffee, reading in the shade, or enjoying dinner under the stars, this outdoor space sets the tone for a relaxed beachside stay.

Inside, the first floor boasts a fully renovated kitchen with high-end stainless appliances, including a six-burner gas stove, a GE Monogram double-door refrigerator, and a wine and beverage fridge. The adjoining living room has soaring ceilings, abundant comfortable seating, and is adorned with original art throughout—making it feel both stylish and welcoming. The spacious primary suite is also located on this floor and features a king bed, a luxurious marble ensuite bath with a glass-enclosed rain shower and dual vanities, a walk-in closet, and even a dedicated work desk for remote needs. A guest powder room and a walk-in laundry room with a full-size washer and dryer complete the main level.

Upstairs, you’ll find three additional bedrooms and a charming bonus bunk room designed with families in mind. The second-floor king suite includes its own private updated bathroom with a walk-in shower, a large Roku TV, a walk-in closet, and a connected bunk room with two sets of twin bunks—each with built-in storage, individual lighting, and a pocket door for privacy. The third bedroom is another king suite with a desk, a mounted Roku TV, a walk-in closet, a private bath, and direct access to the screened-in porch. The fourth upstairs bedroom features built-in XL twin bunk beds, each with blackout curtains and reading lights, along with a wall-mounted Roku TV and a newly constructed marble half bath. All upstairs rooms share access to the generous screened-in porch, comfortably furnished to seat eight with multiple zones for lounging, dining, or simply enjoying the breeze.

What truly makes Blessings by the Sea unique is its stunning third-floor open-air tower. Accessible via a spiral staircase, the tower offers breathtaking 360-degree views of Seaside and peek-a-boo glimpses of the Gulf, making it the ultimate sunset-viewing perch. Outside, the rear courtyard continues the thoughtful outdoor design, with a lighted dining deck, a charcoal grill, a shaded hammock, and a private outdoor shower—perfect for rinsing off after a day at the beach.

Whether you’re traveling with friends, extended family, or little ones in tow, Blessings by the Sea offers room to gather and space to retreat, all just steps from Seaside’s shops, dining, and sugar-white sand.

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: This house was better than the pictures somehow. It lived really well, we had 4 adults, 2 little kids and 5 teens. It is close to the family pool, adult pool, the playground, the town center, parks. We hope to book it again and again. It was sparkling clean, the best amenities, not to mention just gorgeous and so well done throughout... truly I can't say enough good things about this house!

Beautiful home! Great vacation!!

We had an amazing time staying at the beautiful Blessings by the Sea. It is so close to everything and had the perfect floor plan for us. It has a great open kitchen that overflows in to the family room where we spent most of our time together playing games. Beautiful oversized master was perfect downstairs. Upstairs offered us ton of space for our four children to sleep. Great outdoor dining area too. Thank you for sharing your home with us :) we will definitely come back!

Blessings by the Sea

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Love this rental. This was our third (or maybe 4th year staying in Blessings by the Sea). It’s the perfect size for the 6 of us. This year there was an issue of sewage backup due to a blockage so we had to be moved. We will, however, rent Blessings by the Sea next year.

Perfect Spring Break House

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: We had a wonderful week at Blessings By The Sea. The house was lovely and well-appointed. The upstairs king bedroom with adjoining bunk room was perfect for six girls to share and hang out ... plus there was plenty of room for two moms to have our own space AND a great place to work remotely. Our only complaint is with mother nature ... as she didn't allow as many sunny days as we'd hoped for. We'd return to this house in a heartbeat.

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: This is our third stay at Blessings by the Sea. There are 6 adults and a 4 year old. We love it! Just wish there was another king bed as both sons in law are tall. They have been flipping a coin but it would be great if they didn’t have to. Just a suggestion? Love the walled mirrors between houses as they offer added privacy. Great rental! Can we buy it?

Beautiful Home in Seaside

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: Blessings By The Sea was a beautiful property! It was perfect for our family of 8~ baby included! Nice location, updated and very well equipped kitchen, with nice w/d. The only tiny hitch we had was the ice maker was slow to produce~ something that should not be happening with such a new appliance. Added bonus from the sweet owners was a toy box for the beach! Thank you for helping our family create beautiful memories at the very special place known as Seaside. We shall return!

review of August 7-14, 2021 stay

Rating Details: The property manager was more than helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Generally good, but the office never provided the extra towels that I requested and said I would pay for. Luckily, I was never charged. The ice maker was not working and the office did send a repairman; however, he left a mess for us to clean up and he did not wear a mask. Another workman came unexpectedly to change filters and he did wear a mask and was very considerate.

Great family home for a vacation

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: We just stayed a week in Blessings By The Sea. It was a great home for our extended family. The bedroom setup was great. The 2 adult bedrooms upstairs were located at either end of the hallway with the 2 bunk rooms being attached or next door to the room with the king sized bed. We were traveling with our 2 grown children and their spouses. Our daughter has 3 littles (one slept in a bunk and the twins slept in port a cribs located in the second bunk room) This kept their noise level at a minimum for our son and his wife. The Outdoor Patio was a lifesaver for keeping the grandchildren happy and gave them lots of room to play. We ended up eating most meals outside since the weather was perfect. The kitchen was well stocked and had everything we needed. One last note, the outdoor shower was a great way to quickly get the kids cleaned up from the beach. We would stay here again!

We were in close proximity to pool and playground, which kept my grandson busy. We will try to book this home again in the future. Our thanks to the owners for sharing their home with us!

Spring Break Trip at Blessings by the Sea

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: This house is a perfect location to walk to town, the pools, the playground & the beach. It is a great size as well. There are some things about the house you must know if you are coming with more than one family... the second king bed is on the 2nd floor attached to the bunk room. Therefore, the second bedroom for adults is a queen bed and not a master. The dishwasher did not clean dishes, no matter how much we cleaned and rinsed the dishes before putting them in. The toilets run & made noises all night. The insert in the hood leaked water when it rained...It is a nice house, with lots of room, in a great location. But there were small things that could have made the stay better. Homeowners Collection is a great company though and answered all the things we needed.

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.

The house is very well designed, VERY clean, has all of the household items you need to cook for a large family and is perfectly located in Sea Side. It is on a quiet street but only two blocks the from the market center to it was the best of both worlds. The fireworks on New Years are perfectly viewed from the top deck.
