Seaside vacation rentals

Fun in the sun at Seaside vacation home rentals

Perched on Florida's coast, Seaside is as renowned for its pastel-hued cottages and gleaming white clapboard post office as it is for its sandy beach and tranquil waters. Seaside was in fact only founded in 1981, as one of the first American towns designed around the principles of New Urbanism, a movement focused on eclectic architecture, walkable districts, and sustainable living. With an abundance of pristine Seaside vacation rentals to choose from, you can make yourself right at home in this one-of-a-kind destination.

Things to do near Seaside vacation rentals

Seaside is a shopper's paradise, particularly if you prefer quirky independent retailers to big brands. Here, you'll find gourmet grocery stores, alluring fashion boutiques, and endlessly browsable book and music shops. If you're in town on a summer Saturday, don't miss the market, where you can pick up artisan soaps and homewares, phenomenally fresh local produce, and irresistible baked goods and sweet treats.

If you feel the need to burn off some calories, rent a kayak or paddle board and explore the sensational shoreline.

Local weather for your stay in Kissimmee vacation homes

Seaside vacation rentals are in particularly high demand during the peak summer season of June to August. Humidity can be high at this time of year, but the heat is generally less intense than many other parts of Florida, with ocean breezes keeping things agreeable. Late spring and early fall are also great times to visit, with blissfully warm temperatures, slightly less rain, and slightly fewer out-of-towners jostling for a prime spot on the beach. Winters are usually pleasantly mild, but usually a little too cool for swimming and sunbathing.

Animal encounters at Seaside

Seaside is an enthralling destination for nature and wildlife lovers. If you're visiting between April and November, you might be lucky enough to catch sight of sea turtles crawling out of the ocean to lay their eggs in the sand. You don't need to be a seasoned birder to make some new feathered friends here. Keep one eye on the sky and you may glimpse pelicans, egrets or herons, while between May and August, rare snowy plovers and least terns can be spotted nesting in the sand. A highlight for many Seaside visitors is a trip out to sea to watch acrobatic bottlenose dolphins frolicking in their natural habitat.
