BEACHSIDE IN SEASIDE AMAZING GULF VIEWS - Dragonfly

2 KING, BUNK BEDS (2 DOUBLE BUNK BEDS, room sleeps 4)

Dragonfly, formally known as the guest cottage Merilee, has the prime beachside location in Seaside. Located just one house back from the beach with stunning gulf views from the balconies, one block to the Seaside Amphitheater and air stream row, and only 10 steps to the East Pavilion beach access this cottage location if a preferred favorite of many families. Walk up the stairs and step into the glass surrounded great room with the turquoise seas calling. Fall asleep to the sound of the waves against the beach. Watch the famous gulf sunsets from the sofa, or walk the 10 steps to the beach entrance. Look out at night at the lights on the famed East Ruskin Pavilion right outside the windows. Take a stroll to Bud and Alley’s for dinner or a drink or perhaps an ice-cream at Heavenly Shortcakes. After sunning on the beach, riding bikes, or being our guest at the private Seaside Swim and Tennis Club, curl up in one of the (2) king master suites. Both feature king-size beds with plush linens to indulge.

The second-floor king master has a private bath with double vanity and marble shower along with great ocean views and a gulf side balcony. The other king master is for the late sleeper and is located on the first floor with its bath with double vanity, marble shower, morning kitchen and screen porch access. The third oversized suite has two sets of double bunkbeds to comfortably sleep four with plenty of play space, a 32' TV, play table and chairs and a private bath. The home has been furnished locally for that great Seaside feel.

The open concept kitchen includes stainless appliances and a GE stainless steel dual-fuel range. Vetrazzo (recycled sea glass) countertops and dark stained wood floors round out the fresh, clean look. This kitchen does not have a full size refrigerator.

Directv HD is located throughout the house. There’s a large 46' LCD TV and DVD in the living room, along with 32' LCD TV’s in each of the three bedrooms. WIFI access is available throughout the cottage. 2 private off-street parking spaces are provided.

This is the real deal for gulf viewing. You don’t have to hang over the balcony and stand on one leg to see the ocean. It’s right in plain sight and in full view from many vantage points. This was one of the original Anniversary Cottages (Completely re-done) at Seaside and overlooks the quaint Honeymoon Cottages that are in our front yard. Dragonfly is the cottage you dream of. Simple, quaint, cozy, beautiful and ready for your memories.

Stay Marred by the Aggressive Behavior of the Property Manager
Rating Details: The property manager was very unhelpful. The vacation rental was somewhat dirty. I was very happy with the location. I was somewhat dissatisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: While the location of this home is ideal if you desire proximity to Seaside square and the beach, it comes at a price. Amy Wise-Cobble, the General Manager of Homeowner’s Collection, made our stay not worth the proximity. She and her adult daughter attempted to force their way into the home when my son answered the door. She was hysterical and extremely unprofessional. When she was denied access to the home, she threatened eviction. Amy cited “Occupancy of only 8 people” to justify entry. We hosted guests for dinner, were not disturbing the peace or breaking in rules, regulations, laws, or the rental contract. Upon leaving, they stated how they loved “getting to do this stuff.” We spoke to the chair of the board, Bob, who was lovely but this should never have been something with which we had to deal. The lack of professionalism and aggressive demeanor created a hostile environment that greatly detracted from our enjoyment of the rental.

WOW
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 went down as a group for our friends wedding and had the best time. Not only at the wedding but with the house we stayed at with the help of Homeowner's Collection. They helped us with anything we needed day and night. I would highly recommend using their services if you plan on booking a vacation down in Seaside Florida!

Great location!
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 house was a perfect fit for our trip with 6 adults. The house is beautiful, location is fabulous! Beach access right out front door. Seaside just steps away. Everything was so easily accessible! Beach views from upstairs living room and porch! Trees do need to be trimmed down in front of upstairs deck so the beach view stays clear. We loved our visit and would definitely stay here again

Great rental!
We had a great stay! It was our first time staying on the ocean side and we loved sitting on the porch and being able to hear and see the ocean. Great walking distance to everything in seaside. Right next to the beach access. Easy parking. Property management was great and responded quickly to texting and sent reminders for check out. My husband and I were with our parents and we loved having 2 king rooms. We were worried it wasn’t a full fridge, but it’s actually pretty large and was plenty for the 4 of us and there is a separate freezer as well. Would definitely recommend.
