About this property
Seaside, FL Boutique Hotel – Renovated & Central, Pet Friendly, + 2 Bikes
The Court 9 Queen Room | Pet Friendly Seaside Retreat
Enjoy a relaxed yet refined stay at The Court, a thoughtfully restored motor court located in the heart of Seaside Florida and just steps from the Gulf. Following an extensive eighteen month renovation, this iconic property blends the nostalgic charm of classic road trip travel with the modern comforts today’s guests expect, creating one of the most distinctive vacation rentals in the Florida Panhandle.
This Queen room overlooks The Lawn, The Court’s beautifully landscaped central garden, offering a quiet and calming setting while keeping you moments from Seaside’s vibrant town center. Inside, coastal elegance meets functionality with a queen bed dressed in luxurious Peacock Alley linens, Serena and Lily furnishings, and ample built in storage so you can fully unpack and settle in. A custom desk provides space to work or check email, while an under counter refrigerator and Nespresso coffee station add everyday convenience.
The private bathroom feels spa inspired, featuring a marble tiled shower with a rainfall showerhead and wand, a generous vanity, and plush robes for unwinding after a day in the sun. Blackout shades, thoughtful soundproofing, and modern comforts help ensure restful nights throughout your stay.
Step outside to your private porch and unwind on the custom hanging bed with a cozy throw, an inviting spot for morning coffee or an evening glass of wine. Beach access is effortless with the Ruskin Street Pavilion directly across the street and the iconic Coleman Pavilion just one block away.
One of The Court’s most loved features is its unbeatable location. The Seaside amphitheater, charming Airstream food vendors, unique boutiques, and local restaurants are all steps from your door, yet the property remains tucked away from the noise once you return to your room.

Size of a dorm with price of a luxury hotel
Pros: location and beach access.
Cons: TINY - just a queen bed and bathroom; no space for additional furniture
No housekeeping service
No daily garbage pickup - unless requested
No clean towels - $50 fee to get clean set
No daily restocking of coffee, water
No privacy /No sunshine - with shades up, everyone walking on the path in front of your room can see inside; with shades down, you can’t enjoy the sunshine
Definitely wouldn’t recommend.

The court - great service but locale of room was less then ideal
The property manager Dan was great. Always available. He is not to blame for our poor stay. The place was very clean. But our room was literally right next to a public restroom and restaurant w outdoor seating. It has breakfast, so we were worked up early every day. Also by deliveryrucks. We will not stay at the court again
