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.
