About this property

Private Tower With Town And Gulf Views In Seaside, FL + 2 Adult Bikes!

2 kings, 1 bunk room (Twin over Queen - sleeps 2)

Bright and cheery, the ‘Toes In The Water’ cottage celebrates a fantastic location and ultra-comfortable accommodations. This three-bedroom, three-bath exceptional vacation property is the perfect beach getaway, with a welcoming open front porch, featuring an outdoor lounge area for two leading to the inside of the residence. This cottage was recently renovated in the Spring of 2022 down to the studs, a stunning renovation with designer touches throughout.

The first level of the vacation cottage is home to two bedrooms, one king primary bedroom, and one king guest bedroom. The newly furnished king primary features a dresser for storage and a wall-mounted flat screen TV. A sliding barn door leads to the recently remodeled primary bathroom with a walk-in shower and single vanity. The second bedroom also features a king bed, an oversized dresser, and a large wall-mounted flat screen TV. Attached to this bedroom is another full bathroom featuring an all-new tub/shower combo for a modern bathroom feel. Guests will appreciate the full-sized washer and dryer located in the laundry closet at the base of the first-floor staircase.

The home's second level is where you’ll find open-floor plan living, dining, and kitchen areas. The newly furnished living room, with a wall-mounted flat screen TV, plenty of built-ins, and large windows, opens up the cottage to an influx of natural light. The freshly updated, well-equipped kitchen is also on this level of the home, complete with modern stainless appliances, a Sub-Zero refrigerator, and a farmhouse sink. The kitchen also features a new island with bar top seating for six guests. Just outside of the living area is a screened-in balcony with outdoor dining for six!

Up another level to the third floor, a bunk bed with a twin bed over the queen-sized bed emerges, situated in an open loft. Surrounded by windows, the space also includes a television and leads out to a fanciful furnished balcony with bar top seating for two, serving up fantastic views of the surrounding town of Seaside and the Gulf.

For those evenings spent at home, the cottage also includes a pole-mounted grill for family meals, and for post-beach cleanup, the home offers an outdoor shower. Mere steps away from the Westside swimming pool, the ‘Toes In The Water’ is also close to all of the town’s other amenities, from the numerous tennis and pickleball courts to the other swimming pools and the fitness center.

Please be advised that some exterior areas of this home are under video surveillance with a Ring Doorbell.

For additional room, check out the guest cottage, Tush In The Sand, VRBO# 652275.

Perfect start to Summer!

Most satisfied VRBO rental ever. House description and pictures were accurate. Beds are very comfortable. Plenty of space to be together or separate into smaller groups. Kitchen is well equipped. Very easy walk to the beach. Pool is one block away. Management company was there to greet us at arrival and checked in a few times to make sure everything was going well.

A Beautiful Home and Perfect 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: Toes in the Water is a stunning home and so comfortable to just relax, from the front porch to the screened in dining area. The birds nest tower was so awesome to see gulf views and have breakfast or happy hour.! We actually were moved to Toes in the Water after our first house had construction going on, and I’m SO THANKFUL we got this house. Lots of space to relax and the bed was super comfy. We couldn’t have asked for a more beautiful home, short walk to the beach was a plus. Thanks to Homeowners Collection for helping us out and making our vacation experience a fantastic one, they are first class. Would definitely stay here again!❤️

Home and Homeowner's Collection are Wonderful

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 were scheduled to stay at another property owned by the same owner but experienced some problems with the property. Homeowner's collection took our concerns seriously and Bridgette made us feel valued. Our stay at Toes in the Water was incredible. We had stayed here in the past, but the cottage is completely renovated, and is gorgeous! We enjoyed many wonderful sunsets from the top deck, comfortable beds, and close to the beach and pool. We would definitely stay here again!

Coastal, clean and comfortable

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: Toes in the water is all you could want from a vacation home. The home interior was gorgeous, very clean and equipped with comfortable furniture including cozy beds. The renovations were beyond expectation. The home was beautifully appointed with nearly everything accounted for. Easy access to the beach, neighborhood pool and town while preserving some quiet. Convenient parking. The kids loved the tower bunk room. The only disappointment was a lack of outdoor furniture on screened porch and tower balcony but we made good use of the porch. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. What a beautiful place to pass some time with the ones you love.

Cozy Vacation Home for a Week at Seaside

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Windward was a great home for us for a week. There were 6 of us in the home, and we felt we had plenty of room to spread out. The kitchen is very small, only fitting 1 person comfortably. The house was well-maintained, the beds are comfortable, and the views from the top floor are gorgeous. Visiting during the pandemic was a bit challenging. Seaside is doing a great job with rules for masking, but lots of visitors weren't following the rules unfortunately. We cooked all meals in, which made the kitchen size especially noticable.

Rating Details: The property manager was somewhat unhelpful. The vacation rental was very dirty. I was more than happy with the location. I was very dissatisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: It was not great. We come down to that area once or twice every year. We've used Homeowner's Collection in the past, and in the past, we had a good experience. This time, my mother in law had difficulty checking in. No one would answer the phone. The property had problems - ants in the kitchen sink, we saw a few roaches. We called, and someone dropped off ant spray, but that's it. The remote control was all taped up - wouldn't work half the time. Dirty washcloth was in the bathroom. The table outside was so dirty - not sure if it had ever been wiped off. I don't know if its because the property was for sale, but overall, the quality of rental is going down, while the price is going up. We would think twice about using Homeowner's Collection again. It was a very disappointing experience.

Great location, little details lacking

The location of this house and views from top floor are great. Decor is nice and beachy. I see a remodel is planned for fall, which would be good. The microwave is hard to open-I kept jamming my finger against the cabinet as it finally sprung open. The refrigerator doesn't have good storage for wine-we had a bottle stored in the door, and when my husband opened the door, it fell out and shattered. The fan on the screened porch doesn't move the air and the table is too big for the space and people can't sit around it on all sides. The deck on the top floor had only 1 chair, though 2 chairs and a table are pictured. The drapes are down in the living room but the black screws remain. The coffee table in the living room and the bed on the top floor appear not to be assembled very well-they creak and move when you touch them. The second floor shower is small and doesn't have a ledge for shaving. We had a great time, but for Seaside prices, we would prefer a little more finish on the details and a bit better ability to use all the spaces in the house, including the decks.

Great location, house needs some work

We come to seaside 1-2 times per year and always try and stay close the the square. This house is perfectly located only a couple minutes away from the square and beach. The oustide of the house is super cute. The inside of the house needs some work. The house was not properly cleaned. There was dirt and stains on all the stair railings, the bathroom corners were dirty, the sofa needs to be cleaned or replaced. The rugs were also very dirty and need to be replaced. The wood floors are in rough shape and the outdoor patio furniture needs to be cleaned or replaced. I was disappointed in the overall cleanliness and freshness of the house. It just needs to TLC and a makeover. A vaccuum really needs to be accessible and a new broom. The microwave sticks and you basically have to yank on the handle for it to open. We had a good time and made it work but I had to get some cleaner and wipe everything down myself. The property management company was awesome and I liked them coming to check on us. Overall I would stay here if again if the house got a makeover on the inside.
