About this property

Gulf Front Seaside Iconic Honeymoon Cottage

Amazing luxury retreat for that special getaway! "Better Together" is cottage number 1 in Seaside, Florida and sits directly gulf front high on the sand dune with forever views. In 1998 Seaside town founder Mr. Robert Davis desired to have several low impact cottages built and set directly gulf front. The design inspiration was from the "honeymoon cottage" that Thomas Jefferson lived in while he built Monticello.

The cottage Better Together has just completed a gorgeous renovation. This is the the perfect Romantic Getaway Spot!

Better Together is our favorite in Seaside. The house is beautifully decorated and designed. We always appreciate the cleanliness. It makes for a relaxing stay. The view on the porch overlooking the beach and gulf is breathtaking. A perfect place for morning coffee and evening wine. The host is the absolute best, checking in with us to make sure all was going well. We are looking forward to our next visit.

My wife and I came for a four day getaway. We truly felt blessed to be able to stay at this house. The view is breathtaking and the quick access to the beach was amazing. The house was spotless. It had the perfect amount of room and convenience for 2. We had everything we needed. The bed was also very comfortable. Our favorite part of each day was spending our mornings and evenings on the deck, overlooking the Gulf. Dean was kind and responsive. Seaside is a great spot. Even with the crowds of spring break, the house felt quiet and secluded. We were sad to leave and hope to come back again.

We had a fantastic stay at Better Together. The cottage is very well appointed with an elevated aesthetic. The ocean view was stunning and the cottage itself was perfect. The furniture was comfortable, cozy and stylish. It was wonderful to have the dedicated parking space as well. Our host was super responsive with lots of helpful information on the front end and when there was a slight plumbing snafu he was super responsive and very kind. I hope we can make it back to better together in the future. it was a lovely stay!!!!

My wife and I just returned from our stay and loved it. The cottage is right on the beach with great views and only steps to the beach. It is charming , cosy, and comfortable. the layout is well organized and well appointed. It’s hard to beat early morning coffee, evening cocktails and beautiful sunsets on the upper deck. We were close to shopping and restaurants in Seaside and surrounding areas.The location was perfect. We are already planning a return visit.

We had a wonderful stay at Honeymoon Cottage. The cottage is perfect for two people and is equipped with everything we needed for a comfortable week long stay. It was like living in your own little piece of paradise with the most beautiful views on one of our favorite beaches. There is plenty to do within walking distance and Seaside is such a unique & gorgeous area. Dean is a very efficient & responsive host & was available to answer any questions we had. My husband & I are already talking about going back to Honeymoon Cottage for another stay because it was so special.
