Much like the Disney animated film, Fantasia cottage is both magical and serene. Enter this 3 bedroom/ 2 bath beach house off Tupelo circle through the large screened-in porch complete with fan and Adirondack chairs. As you proceed through the front door, you're greeted with the same openness that you found on the screened-in porch.
The spacious living and dining areas boast plenty of seating with built in blankets surrounding the outer windows. The charming kitchen is quaint and colorful with stainless steel appliances and all the cooking necessities to make your stay as comfortable as possible. A full bath with walk-in shower completes the downstairs.
As you make your way up the hardwood stairs, you'll notice several architectural masterpieces; the first of which is the wooden slats in the floor that allow you see below. Additionally, the first guestroom has a peek-a-boo window that affords you as much or as little privacy as you want on the second floor. There you will also find a double bed and beautiful antique armoire.
The other two guestrooms are down the hallway. The first is home to a queen size bed, flat screen TV, and beautiful Seaside views, while the second exudes tranquility wrapped in a turquoise paint color with a trundle bed and built-in bookcases giving it somewhat of a library feel. A full bath on the second floor is shared by all.
Up another flight of stairs, you'll find yet another hidden gem of Fantasia's...a table for two in a cozy nook. Look out the windows as the town of Seaside bustles by. Continue to climb one more time up the ships ladder to enjoy the best seats in the house....Fantasia's tower puts others to shame with beautiful views of the Seaside rooftops and the emerald coast. It's well worth the climb and will quickly become you're favorite spot in this architectural masterpiece of a cottage!
Fantasia is centrally located in the town of Seaside and is steps to both the town square and the beach.

Fall Break Vacation
Guest: mom
(Huntsville, AL)
Date of Stay: 10/02/11
Review Submitted: 10/10/11
We loved the location. The weather was perfect. The house is good but could be GREAT. Wonderful screened-in porch. The house was noisy, sounds bounced off the walls and floors. More rugs would help. The mattress on the double bed was sagging & on the trundle felt like only a box spring. Kitchen was tiny, difficult to cook a regular meal. Shower downstairs needs new grout & caulk. Stairs up to the viewing deck were very steep but the view was worth it. Just have drinks downstairs. The tv is difficult for all to see. Perhaps removing the cabinet and adding a flat screen would solve that problem. I would recommend this property and include the above observations. Thank you.
Owner response:Stephanie, Thank you so much for your review. We are constantly striving to provide a wonderful vacation rental experience for our guests. We have since replaced these mattresses. Thank you for your additional comments (re: TV placement), we will take them under advisement as well. The kitchen, while small, is well equip with all the cooking utensils you could need/want and there is a large dining table perfect for entertaining. We hope you'll stay with us again. Thanks, Mark

4th of July at Fantasia

We had a wonderful time in Seaside. Fantasia is great for families. We loved the rooftop deck, it gave us a front-row seat for the 4th of July Fireworks! Though the bedrooms are small, the beds are very comfortable, and there is plenty of bedroom closet space. The house is somewhat sparsely furnished and equipped, but that was OK, since we spent most of our time at the beach, pool or shopping. Loved the availability of an outdoor grill.

This was our second trip to Seaside and staying at the same house. It is a great location for families. A short walk to the beach and park with a pool is a plus. The town center with shopping, food and activities is also wonderful! Highly recommended!

Fantasia is the perfect base-camp for a Florida vacation!

The location is nearly perfect: close to the beach, the Seaside green/amphitheater and near the large 'adult' pool. The house itself isn't terribly large, but has a few excellent features that boost the cozy square-footage. The screened-in front porch is fantastic location for morning coffee and just hanging out. And the views/sunsets from the top deck are exquisite. As some other reviews noted, sound does travel throughout the house, and the kitchen is a bit tight, but neither of those hurt our stay. It is impossible to travel to Seaside, stay at Fantasia and NOT relax...

We had a wonderful stay in late April of 2011. I liked the outdoor shower, though I locked myself outside. The bedrooms on floor two are small, but more than adequate. The tower was perfect for a drink and snacks. We spent a lot of time there. The first floor works amazingly well. It was a very comfortable space for four adults.

Family Vacation

Review Submitted: 03/21/11
We found Seaside to be absolutely amazing, and such a great place to vacation. Fantasia was nice for our first time to stay in Seaside. The rooftop deck was the best part of the house. We were up there in the morning for coffee and the evening for wine and stars. Fantasia is a very open house, and you can hear any noise from the TV to people at the dinner table- all the way to the upper floors. The rooms were on the small side, as well as the kitchen which also had no pantry space. The place was clean, but could use some work- there was a leak in the ceiling (which wet the top of the second floors stairs) when we had a heavy rain storm. Overall, for our first time in Seaside, we had a great time; and enjoyed the house and being with each other.

This house deserves all the attention it has received. Quite comfortable and spacious. Quick walk to everything: the beach, the coffee shop, restaurants, bars! Cozy house! We spent more time on the tower than anywhere else, overlooking the gulf and the rest of Seaside by day, and staring at stars by night. Will definitely be back!

We really enjoyed staying in this house! The rooftop deck has an awesome view, and we enjoyed drinking our morning coffee up there.The living area is wonderful, nice and roomy. Bedrooms are on the small side, but we didn't spend much time there anyway. I would highly recommend this property.

A charming cottage for a small family

Review Submitted: 09/08/10
We had a wonderful, relaxing time here. My daughter loved the pink twin bedroom and my son was happy in the double with the more boyish red bedspread. The sleeping spaces are on the small side, but the only time we spent there was while sleeping. The rest of the house is very comfortable. The tower has lovely views of Seaside, and will be best enjoyed by families agile enough to get up and down the ladders. There were plenty of spots to relax in the living room. The kitchen was small but had everything we needed. A great location, about halfway between the beach and the pool. We parked the car on day 1 and never moved it, using our bikes to get everything we needed in Seaside. We loved it!
