Overview
House, 3 Bedrooms, 3 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 bath amenities are provided.
The second floor master has a newly remodeled private bath with double vanity and marble shower along with great ocean views and a gulf side balcony. The other master is for the late sleeper and is located on the first floor with its newly remodeled bath with double vanity, marble shower, morning kitchen and screen porch access. The third oversized suite has bunkbeds with plenty of play space, a 32' TV, play table and chairs and a private bath. Our home has been furnished by Pizitz for that great Seaside feel.
The open concept kitchen is completely remodeled with new cabinets and appliances including a GE stainless steel dual-fuel range. Vetrazzo (recycled sea glass) countertops and dark stained wood floors round out the fresh, clean look.
We've added Directv HD with Genie throughout the house. There’s a large 46' LCD TV and DVD in the living room, along with 32' LCD TV’s in each of the three bedrooms. WIFI access is available throughout the cottage. Sony Stereo with iPod Dock in living room and 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 (Completely re-done) at Seaside and overlooks the quaint Honeymoon Cottages that are in our front yard. Merilee By-The-Sea is the cottage you dream of. Simple, quaint, cozy, beautiful and ready for your memories.

About Merilee
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.
Merilee purchased this house in 2008
Why Merilee 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.
What makes this house unique
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.
Check out the new "Surfing Deer" in Seagrove. Miami Beach atmosphere comes to Seagrove. A short walk to great food and drinks. Seagrove Market has recently re-opened. Fresh look but the same fried goodness.

Best beach week ever!
Merilee by The Sea is a dream come true & was well worth the price. LITERALLY steps from the East Ruskin Pavillion & a very short walk to the heart of Seaside. We had a family of 4 (15 yr old & 4 yr old) I rented bikes but we didn’t use them much as it was so easy to walk. The close beach access was so nice with the little one, making the daily beach haul less dramatic & easy jaunt back for lunch & snacks. The home itself is fantastic. So pretty & comfortable, the views are awesome, the beds were awesome...I can’t say enough wonderful things about this home. It was our 2nd stay in Seaside. I ‘upgraded’ us to the other side of 30A (beachside) & it proved to be a very nice treat for everyone. We love Seaside, it is such a special place. Our highlights this year included seeing Stingray, dolphins, fish...we discovered the Taco Bar (must try the street corn) & our family favorite Modica Market. I would highly reccomemd Merilee, I didn’t want to leave & CAN NOT wait to go back. Thank you for sharing your beautiful beach home!!!!
Perfect vacation!!!
We had a great trip. The house was amazing and right on the beach and next to town. We will be back !!!!!

Great for parents & teens!
We loved staying at Merilee By The Sea! The cottage was really cute, comfortable & cozy. Great for my husband, me and 4 teenage boys. We (parents) stayed in the upstairs master bedroom and liked the den and kitchen being so close. We took advantage of the beautiful ocean views from the den and while having coffee, drinks, and meals on the upstairs deck. The boys loved having the bottom floor & porch to themselves. The master bedroom, bunk room, and dedicated bathrooms were perfect. They enjoyed playing games and watching movies in the bunk room and really appreciated having their own ‘“mini kitchen”. The location is PERFECT-very close to the beach, shops, restaurants and the square (where all the teenagers hung-out)! We all worked out at the surprisingly well-equipped exercise facility and rarely had to drive anywhere, which was great! Merilee would also be a great cottage for 2 small families with young children who could share the bunk room and not have to cross the street to go to the beautiful beach. Thanks for sharing your lovely cottage!
Best Seaside vacation!
Our family of five just returned from our week at Meri Lee by the Sea. It was wonderful. We are a veteran Seaside family. Over the years we have stayed many places and we have found our favorite. The cottage is an ideal location, beautifully decorated and maintained, and has the gorgeous sea right there! The owner was easy to work with and provided a lovely gift basket upon our arrival. We will be back!
Fabulous First Visit to Seaside!
This was our first visit to Seaside and I'm not sure it could have been any better!! This house was perfect for us. (There were three adults and two children.) The house was very well maintained and well represented in the online pictures. It was very clean and fresh upon our arrival. (I consider this quite a feat considering someone else had just finished their one week stay hours before us.) The location was the BEST! The views were incredible. We were literally steps from the beach and walking distance to everything else Seaside has to offer. Meri Lee made the entire booking process completely painless. She promptly returned emails/phone calls and provided all of the info we needed for our stay a week in advance. We will definitely be back to Seaside and hopefully to Meri Lee by the Sea.
