This three-bedroom, three-bath shaded retreat is located directly across from the beach and just one block to the Seaside town center. Located at the corner of East Ruskin Street and 30A, Waterside is directly across from the East Ruskin private residential beach access. You can sun all day and return home to the cool, shaded seclusion of this comfortable home. Waterside is surrounded by native live oaks to provide a cool and private respite from that wonderful summer sun and passers-by alike. Upon arrival, you will enter Waterside through its expansive large wrap-around screened-in front porch furnished with deck chairs and a dining table for 6.

The first floor consists of an open living, dining, and kitchen area, a bedroom with a King bed, a second bedroom with two twin beds, two baths, and every room opens onto a screened porch or deck via French doors. The spacious galley kitchen opens onto the screened porch, as well as the back deck, making it convenient for serving meals or just having morning coffee on the deck.

The second floor is entirely devoted to the king primary suite. If it were not for the draw of the beach, you might find yourself spending all your time in this extra-large room with a natural plank cathedral ceiling and open rafters, a balcony to enjoy gulf breezes, and if you must bring the laptop, there is a work table. The primary bath has an oversized tub that is perfect for relaxing.

The back deck of Waterside accesses one of Seaside's quaint footpaths that will take you on the short walk to the town center.

Waterside has everything you need, including high-speed Internet access, for a memorable stay at the beach.

    Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was more than happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: This house is incredibly nice and perfectly decorated! Being right on 30A next to the town center and directly across from beach access is very convenient, just know that the cars and crowds cruising until about 11pm are incredibly loud. The master bedroom upstairs doesn't have its own thermostat so it stayed about 5-10 degrees warmer that the rest of the house. Master bedroom also does not have a door to the master bathroom. But we enjoyed the house very much!

    Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was more than happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Waterside was a perfect stay for myself, my mother and my two daughters. We were so close to everything and could be at both beach and center city in just a matter of a few steps. You're literally right across from Ruskin beach access - maybe the most beautiful beach I've been to...crystal clear water and sugar soft white sand, shallow water for a long ways to make playing in the water all day so easy, lots and lots of sand dollars to view in the water. You're one block from city center so walking to dinner and shopping is a breeze. We loved meandering the back way home after dinners where we could take a leisurely walk through the neighborhood.Black Bear coffee is accessed via a cute private path out your back door...lines get long but it's very quaint.You'll love the trees and birds. Mornings are easy to enjoy on one of many porches!With such easy access to 30A and city center be aware some teenagers can be heard at night if they're out and about. But it doesn't last too long, and earplugs helped keep my sleeping hours quiet. You'll also hear some 30a traffic, but probably worth it for the convenience of location. Beds were comfy, kitchen is a good size and well provisioned. The upstairs king suite is so spacious and welcoming, with a huge bathroom. We loved the outdoor showers that connect to the indoor showers for easy transition from beach to home. Great experience with the rental company. They were super communicative and always available! They also helped us book a sandcastle lesson which was a fun way to start our beach vacation! Lots of sand toys tucked away on the front porch, so no need to bring your own.

Fantastic porches for relaxing and leaving beach gear. Very close to 30a which can be noisy in the evenings. So close to the town square which is a added bonus.

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We had a fabulous time in Seaside, and our stay at Waterside played a huge role in that. The location, very near Central Square and the East Ruskin Pavilion was fantastic! This allowed us to enjoy the Airstream food trucks, Black Bear (fantastic breakfast pastries and sandwiches!) and the shopping in Seaside. The house was a perfect size for our party of four, and exactly what we expected based on its listing. The house was clean, with comfortable beds and furnishings, and a well stocked kitchen. The screened porch was so enjoyable; we ate all our meals on the porch, and spent tons of time outside there. I will definitely look forward to staying here again, and would highly recommend Waterside to anyone looking for a great place to stay when they visit Seaside!

This beach house is lovely and has everything you need to feel right at home! So many outdoor patio areas (including a huge screened in front porch facing 30A) , very large master bedroom, updated amenities and within walking distance to literally everything! We love all of it and have returned to the same property year after year..Highly recommend !!
