Location: Seaside, Beaches of South Walton, Florida North West, Florida, USA (10 Steps from Ruskin Beach Pavillion) View Map
Accommodations: Beach House, 2 Bedrooms + Bunk Area, 2 Baths (Sleeps 6)
Walk up the stairs and step into the glass surrounded great room with the turquoise seas calling. Fall asleep to the sound of the waves against the beach. Watch the famous gulf sunsets from the sofa, or walk the 10 steps to the beach entrance. Look out at night at the lights on the famed East Ruskin Pavilion right outside the windows. Take a stroll to Bud and Alley’s for dinner or a drink or perhaps an ice-cream at Heavenly Shortcakes. After sunning on the beach, riding bikes, or being our guest at the private Seaside Swim and Tennis Club, curl up in one of our (2) master suites. Both feature king-size beds with plush linens to indulge. Luxurious L'Occitane En Provence bath amenities are provided.
The second floor master has a private bath and great ocean views along with a gulf side balcony. The other master is for the late sleeper and is located on the first floor with its private bath and screen porch access. There’s a jetted tub on the screen porch for a quiet soak. A second living room and morning kitchen are located on the first floor along with a separate bunk room. Our home was recently re-furnished by Pizitz for that great Seaside feel.
There’s a large LCD TV and DVD in the living room along with LCD TV’s and DVD players in each bedroom. WIFI access is available throughout the cottage. 2 private off street parking spaces are provided.
This is the real deal for gulf viewing. You don’t have to hang over the balcony and stand on one leg to see the ocean. It’s right in plain sight and in full view from many vantage points. This was one of the original Anniversary Cottages at Seaside and overlooks the quaint Honeymoon Cottages that are in our front yard. Formerly known as “On and On”, our dream cottage is now ready to be shared with new friends. Merilee By-The-Sea is the cottage you dream for. Simple, quaint, cozy, beautiful and ready for your memories.

Seaside Proper-Gulfside 30A! Fantastic Wraparound Gulf View!
Year Purchased: 2008
Why the Owner Chose Seaside
Seaside is simply the best! The town has a great story to match the development. From Robert Davis' grandfather to the present day, great care has gone in to every detail that is Seaside. Often imitated, there's no substitute for the original.
The Unique Benefits at this Beach House
Waking every morning and looking out at the gulf, just can't be beat. Walking to Bud & Alley's for a drink at sunset is priceless. During colder weather, stay inside and watch the sunset from our Great Room. This is the best location in Seaside. Park the car and walk to everything. Return to simpler times and enjoy the surrounding beauty and each other. There’s always something to do…or nothing at all.
Owner's Map of Seaside
We've traveled everywhere and found that our hearts were always drawn back to Seaside. From when Merilee first read about Seaside in 1983, until we finally visited for the first time in 1996, we were transformed. God answered our prayers and we were able to purchase our cottage in 2008. This is a treasure for all who come and it is our dream for our children, grandchildren and their children to enjoy the legacy of Seaside and Merilee By-The-Sea.
