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!

The vacation home is air-conditioned and features a kitchen and a balcony, and there's space to spread out with a separate bedroom. Other standard amenities include a washing machine and a coffee maker.

Exquisite Beachfront cottage

Beautiful well appointed beach home equipped with everything one would need to stay for a few nights or a few weeks . We were extremely impressed with how hospitable our host supplied our accommodations! Everything from the linens and robes to an amazing coffee maker - all high end appliances! Additionally, our host was quick to respond with questions about our check in and check out . We will definitely be returning and referring our friends to this property.

Excellent!

The owner has done a top shelf job with this property. It's perfect for two who want to spend quality time in Seaside. The cottage is spacious, immaculate and perfectly outfitted. We slept so comfortably and all the linens provided (and robes!) were high quality. The upstairs porch offers a beautiful view of the best beach in the country, with easy, close access to the beach! Walk out the door to great eating in Seaside and nearby Watercolor and Seagrove Beach, with some fun shopping too!

Fantasy Beach vacation stay

This is the perfect place to have your fantasy beach vacation! The highlight is the balcony overlooking the beach and water. The home was meticulously clean and decorated beautifully. Steps to the sand and sea, and to restaurants and shops. Once you were there, no need to drive. Owners were fast to respond and kind to communicate with…Will definitely be back! :)

Wonderful all around

I've just spent 16 days at this fantastic property. As the photos indicate the space is beautifully decorated and appointed. Communication from Dean was immediate, clear, and concise. This is one of the few oceanfront cottages that has a washer & dryer which was imperative considering my length of stay. All the appliances in the home are top notch and everything you would need for cooking is available. You can't beat being directly oceanfront; I only ventured out onto the sand twice during my stay because being on the porch was the perfect way for me to enjoy the beach. Morning coffees and evening glasses of wine were so much more enjoyable with the view and the sound of the waves. Before my trip was over I had already booked the home for an even longer stay next year.

Better Together is amazing

My husband and I were there to celebrate our year of zeros (his 70th, my 60th and our 30th together). We could not have picked a better place. The place is amazing. It is a beautiful home with everything you need and more. The home is superbly equipped with everything you need to feel comfortable. The home is in a fantastic location - steps from the white sand of the beach yet only a quick walk to the center of town. The views from the home are beyond beautiful. We began each day watching the sun come up and ended it with a view of the sunset! The one day of rain we had a great time sitting on the deck with a nice beverage watching the rain - calm and peaceful. The host was the best! He is quick to respond to your text and very kind in his communications. He sent everything we needed to know with detailed instructions where needed. We have stayed in many Seaside homes over the past 20+ years of visiting and each had something special about it --- Better Together has EVERYTHING from those combined! If you are looking for romantic get-a-way in a gorgeous home with excellent views - you have to stay here! You will fall in love with it as we did. Monya & Michael Monroe, GA
