  My wife and I stayed for a Wed through Mon visit and very much enjoyed the house. It is on the Western end of Seaside and is just a short walk to the beach and town center. The house is an interesting dog trot design with 4 separate spaces. Kitchen, Living Room downstairs and two bedrooms upstairs. Much of our time was spent relaxing and reading in the central screened in porch around which the living areas are built. Going in October made this possible due to moderate temperatures but I wouldn't see spending that much time there in the heat of summer or cold of winter. The house is uniquely and beautifully decorated and quite comfortable overall save one item. The queen bed has an awful mattress on it. You could feel the lumps and springs and we awoke each morning feeling we had been run over by a truck. The only other downer was that there were two keys in the lockbox but only one of them worked. In the grand scheme of things we would definitely stay here again as the positives absolutely outweigh the negatives. But we strongly suggest the owner replace that mattress!

  This cottage was fabulous! My wife and I stayed here for nearly a week. The first day we came in we went to Publix grocery shopping, parked the car and the car stayed in the driveway for the rest of the week! Everything is a pleasant and short walk away. The cottage is very comfortable and the style is original and quite interesting. The place was CLEAN. I mean spotless! Kudos to the housekeeping/management staff! This is an ideal cottage for 2 couples vacationing together. Each bedroom is its own little "suite" and not directly connected to the other rooms. When I rented this cottage I was a little hesitant because we wanted to be on the beach. Of course the cottages right on the beach are nearly double (or more) the price. This cottage is very close to the beach! When I say short walk I mean SHORT! It like one block away and a very easy walk. No regrets there! We had a great time during out week at Pleasure Principal and look forward to returning soon!

  Such Fun! A truly unique cottage! Loved the layout. This was the first trip to Florida for our 3 month old granddaughter and the atrium style screened room was such a pleasant place to spend time. Loved the way it connected with the kitchen and family room areas.........giving a great space to gather, chat, view t.v. and dine. Having the main floor full bath was also a real plus. We especially loved the kitchen and it's fascinating decor! The outdoor areas were very spacious, a great place to read a book or have a glass of wine. With the amazing screened room, and the outdoor spaces being totally fenced in . . . . it was perfect for our two small dogs! The way the two upstairs bedrooms, each with their own private baths, were separated giving excellent privacy for all the guests. And what a treat to climb the spiral stairs and experience a terrific view of the surrounding areas. A quiet location, yet conveniently located to the pool, restaurants and the beach. We would highly recommend "Pleasure Principal"! We cannot wait to return to Seaside next year and continue making wonderful family memories!

  For the transitional seasons, this cottage is great. Don't expect a current look, as this cottage is all original, but we like the old Florida feel from the late 80's, so it worked great for us. Very unique layout that works best when the climate allows you to open all the windows and doors. Love all the original photography by the owner on display, as my son is an aspiring photographer. Not sure it would be great for those who like to run the air conditioner or heat, as this would keep you sealed off in one of the four separate living areas, but for us it was perfect. Great for families who like to have a little privacy and alone time too, in addition to being together. We loved it, and would buy it in a heartbeat if it ever came up for sale! :) Thank you for opening your home to renters! We took good care of it!
