About this property

Beach House - Short Walk to Seaside & Beach! - Sleeps 10 Comfortably

Come and enjoy the white sand and crystal blue beaches of 30A! The location of "Ellesmere" is ideal, located on picturesque Forest Street only 2 blocks from both the beach and Seaside. "Ellesmere" is nestled under a canopy of magnolia and live oak trees which provides a special feel of seclusion and privacy, while being only a short walk to Seaside and a 5 minute walk to the public beach via accesses located at Hickory St, or Dogwood St./Thyme St. (Picture No. 24 shows beach accesses from the property). After you’ve finished lounging at the beach and enjoying all that Seaside has to offer, escape the commotion and return to the property to take a dip in the heated pool.

Upon arriving at the property, park your car and walk or bike to Seaside to enjoy all the galleries, fine cuisine, antiques, live theatre, outdoor bazaars and entertainment. On your first day take a short stroll to the stunning beach and soak up the sun, grab a bite to eat at the Seagrove Market Cafe, try the shaved ice at Frostbites and then end your perfect day with fine dining and sunset drinks at Bud N' Alleys.

Great place with better proximity

The house was everything that it claimed to be. Very nice furnishings and fixtures. The pool (opted to heat for the week 3.8.25-3.14.25) was great! A couple missing little things like extra TP and dishwasher soap would be the only critique.

Serene Seaside Getaway

We had a fabulous stay at this property. The communication with the host was easy and Josephine fulfilled our every need. The house was comfortable and clean with ideal spaces for our two families to spend memorable time together! The walk to the beach and town was a quick one too! I would highly recommend this property!

Great house near ocean and seaside

Very comfortable, clean home- just a short walk to beach and Seaside (<10 minutes). Our 5 year old did these walks several times a day easily. Overall layout worked very well for a trip with extended family, allowing kids some space to play downstairs. Pool was great, pool heater worked very well & made swimming on chilly November days fun. Only thing we didn’t love is one bathroom to 3 bedrooms downstairs, but it wasn’t a big issue. Would stay here again.

Amazing Stay

My family had a great time during our stay. The house comfortably accomodated our family of five adults and was an easy walk to the beach. The small pool was a refreshing way to cool off after warm evening walks through Seaside. And the huge comfy sectional in the living room was a cozy place for all of us to watch movies together every night. We would definitely like to return!

Great location, amazing outdoor space

We chose this house for its walking distance proximity to Seaside town center as well as the public beach access at Dogwood/Thyme — we love parking our car and not driving our whole trip! The walk over to Seaside takes 5 minutes going up Forest and you avoid walking on 30A with the traffic. We loved the pool (paid to heat, early April), the various outdoor living spaces, and the airy open family room. The second living space downstairs was great for our kids to hang and watch tv away from the adults. The host was very easy to work with. Highly recommend!

Great location

Great location. Easy walk to beach. Easy walk to seaside square. Publix 4 min away. Nice set up with the master upstairs and rest of rooms downstairs with extra fridge and microwave downstairs also. Our teens loved their own space. Plenty of beach towels and 2 ice makers was nice! Kitchen had everything you could possibly need. My only complaint was you can’t go below 70 with the AC. It got a little stuffy at times.

Great location

We had a family group of three generations here over Labor Day. The main floor has an excellent layout with plenty of space for a group and a very comfortable sectional. The kitchen is nicely appointed except that it lacks pots and pans that are large enough to cook for a crowd and needs to have plastic cups that can be used around s the pool. There is even a pantry space that made it easy to unload and organize groceries. The one bedroom on this floor is basic but functional. The bathroom is small but nice. The downstairs has a small living area, a laundry room/kitchenette, a queen bedroom, a room with a set of full size bunk beds and a third sleeping space that is really just four tiny bunks built into an alcove type space. It is not a bedroom and the beds were small for our teens. Plus there was no space to put anything or plug anything in. And there is a bathroom with a shower downstairs. The pool is very nice and a good size with nice furniture. The screened in porch was also very nice but the outdoor shower was in rough shape with a hole in the floor and weeds growing up through the floorboards. The outdoor stairs leading to the main living areas (2nd floor) get extremely slippery when wet so be careful. We had a fall one morning after it had rained. There are only two bathrooms in the property which was okay for our small groups but would be difficult with many more people. Finally, the bedrooms are pretty sparsely appointed with no tvs and only basic furniture. The beds were comfortable. Overall this was a great property. Very clean and in a great location. Owner was very helpful and responsive. Process was easy and we enjoyed our stay.

All-Around Great Property-- price, location, features, etc.

Great property for our party of 10 with adults, teens and a 3 year old. Location is convenient to 2 different beach access points. The private pool is great after too much sun and sand on the beach (and is shaded in the afternoon). Ample on site parking for 3 cars plus all your bikes, etc. Price is good compared to moving a few blocks north into Seaside proper, and many more reasonable options for beach vendors. Extremely responsive and helpful property host was a plus! Only negative was having to go home. . .

Great location! Very short walk to the beach. Easy walk to Seaside. The house was a great place to hang out- huge comfy couch, lovely pool area, great porches.

What You See is What You Get and MORE!

I'm a Marriott guy. Normally we would stay somewhere on points or in a hotel with two rooms. Something nice with some room like a JW or Ritz. So for what we paid for this vacation we expected a lot and we got it. I can't recommend this bungalow enough. My wife, our 4 kids and one of their friends stayed here for a week. We got to the property about an hour and a half ahead of schedule, texted the property manager and to let her know and within 5 minutes had the code to the key box. We got through the door and we were amazed. The house has such a great old Florida feel. On the way I was concerned that the house may not be as spacious as the pictures look. Maybe they used a fisheye lens or some other trick angle to make it look larger than what it really was. Not the case at all. We were not disappointed. It was spacious but cozy at the same time. My kids spent the next minutes running around the house discovering all the cool features about it from the outside shower to this screened in lower deck, etc. My youngest, who is 8, was in the pool right away. It cost a bit more to heat it and was absolutely worth it. The pool was a huge difference maker for us as we were able to come home from the beach jump right in. Next to it was a gas grill and charcoal grill up stairs on the deck. Both were in great shape and worked well. The kitchen was updated and had a new appliances and plenty of pots, pans, cookie sheets and utensils. The neighborhood was fantastic the trees around the property really made it feel secluded and special. The beach was close. Not even a 5 minute walk. Carrying chairs or a cooler or your towels there was never an issue. The road to the beach never really had cars so we didn’t have to worry about that either. Down town wasn’t too far – about 10 minutes walking (though I’d recommend a bike rental or two if we did it again). Publix was about 5 minutes away by car. I kept catching myself saying, “I could totally live here”. The only down pat for me, personally, was the beds. I’m a bit taller than most and the beds weren’t quite long enough to fully stretch – but that’s fine because the couch was. I even asked the owner where they got it!) When we come back to Seaside we will definitely see if 216 Forest is available. Everything about this place was great – even checking out (take out the trash, run the dishwasher and lock up) was easy.
