With the beach just steps away and the heart of town within easy reach, this home is ideal for guests who want to be close to it all.
Designed to live large, this charming coastal cottage features four breezy porches, a picket-fenced yard surrounded by lush landscaping, and private parking located directly in front of the home. The front screened porch welcomes you with two classic rocking chairs and a bench swing, creating the perfect spot for morning coffee while listening to the waves nearby.

Just off the kitchen is a bonus bunk room, separated by a barn door and features two double bunk beds that sleep four—perfect for younger guests or extra visitors. Down the hall, a second, larger living area offers additional space to relax, complete with a large sofa, two club chairs, and a flat-screen TV, making it ideal for movie nights after long, lazy beach days. Just behind double doors is a built in bar area featuring several bar ware to choose from, a sink, and a beverage and wine refrigerator perfect for entertaining. Just off the rear of the living room is another covered rear porch with seating for two and an outdoor shower. Off the living room at the front of the home is the first king bedroom that sleeps two comfortably with french doors to the covered shared open air furnished porch with chaise lounge seating for five overlooking the fenced yard and grilling area. Enjoy evening cocktails while you listen to the waves crash across the street.
Upstairs, three inviting king bedrooms provide comfort and privacy. The second primary king suite features dual nightstands, a dresser, flat-screen TV, closet, and an ensuite bathroom with a single vanity and tub/shower combination. A newly added third king bedroom offers a peaceful retreat, while the fourth king suite at the rear of the home includes its own flat-screen TV, dresser, closet, and a private ensuite bath with dual vanities and a tub/shower combination. Between the bedrooms, an open-air upstairs porch with cushioned chaise loungers creates a relaxing sun deck with treetop views.
The true highlight of Tupelo Honey is the third-floor open-air tower deck, accessed by a full staircase. Trellis-covered and furnished with Adirondack seating for five, this rooftop perch delivers sweeping Gulf views and unforgettable sunsets over the Gulf of Mexico—making it the perfect setting for sunset cocktails and memorable evenings in Seaside.

House is beautiful! Couldn’t be in a better location. Very clean and decorated so nice. Had everything we needed and then some. We had a blast! And would try to stay in this house again next time. Loved it and highly recommend it. Good for families or adult trip!

This house is in the best location! If you have a few adults and lots of kids - this is the ideal set up. There are a lot of stairs- but the climb to the 3rd floor view is worth the effort!

We have stayed in rentals all over 30A, but this was our first time in Seaside. Tupelo Honey quickly became our favorite home and location! We were greeted upon arrival, which was an extra special touch of hospitality. The house was stocked with everything needed and offered plenty of spaces to gather or just sneak away to read. The front porch swing and the tower deck were our favorites! The Tupelo Pavilion beach access was directly across the street, and it's just a few minutes walk into Central Square. I can't say enough great things about the cottage and location. We will definitely return!

Hi there and thank you for taking the time to share a positive review of Tupelo Honey Cottage and Homeowners Collection.
We are so pleased your visit with us was a "fantastic fall break" and now you have found a favorite to come back to.
We look forward to welcoming you again, each and every time you yearn for more of our beautiful Emerald Coast. Take care!
The ocean was visible from the top floor. The beds were very comfortable. Plenty of hot water for showers and that was nice since we had a larger group. We were there for Spring Break and although it was a busy time it we could not beat the location. We were able to walk to dinner and the older kids loved the food trucks. There was fantastic communication with the rental company. They gifted us a mini cooler, bottle of wine, coffee and beach towels. Such an amazing treat. I would definitely rent here in the future.
