About this property
Guest Cottage w King bed, Steps To Beach And Pool + 2 Adult Bikes!
Perfectly nestled just one block from the beach and directly across from Seaside’s West Side Pool, Honahlea offers the ultimate blend of privacy, charm, and convenience for your next beach getaway. This thoughtfully designed guest cottage — part of the larger Midsummer Night’s Dream property — invites you to experience the magic of Seaside, Florida, in comfort and style.
Upon arrival, guests are guided along a peaceful, sandy footpath that winds through native greenery, leading to the cottage’s private entrance. A classic white picket fence surrounds the home’s beautifully landscaped yard, while the inviting front porch provides the perfect welcome. Complete with cooling outdoor fans and plush chaise lounges, this open-air space offers a serene setting to enjoy morning coffee, a quiet afternoon read, or evening cocktails beneath the stars.
Step inside into the main level. The primary bedroom is located on the main floor and features a king-size bed, soft coastal décor, and an ensuite bathroom with a luxurious soaking tub — ideal for relaxing after a day in the sun. The open-concept living and dining area is filled with natural light and offers ample space for gathering and unwinding, as well as a flatscreen TV. Highlights include a fully equipped kitchen with everything needed to prepare meals at home and a dining nook for two. Just off the main living area, a charming bonus loft is accessible by a ship’s ladder. This tucked-away space, best suited for children or young adults, includes twin futon beds.
Whether you’re spending your days by the pool, walking to Seaside’s iconic town center, or relaxing on the sugar-white sands just minutes from your door, Honahlea is your perfect home base. The cottage's prime location offers easy access to Seaside's many amenities — including boutique shopping, award-winning dining, live music, and vibrant community events — all while providing a peaceful, private retreat.

Seaside was absolutely beautiful and The Homeowners Collection was so lovely to communicate with!! Our cottage was very cozy and fit our family needs! Some things are very dated on the property and could use some touch up or replacement based on the price point. We were overall very content and would stay in Seaside again!! The front porch was our favorite spot to start and end the day!

We have stayed at Honalea many times. It is one of the few single story cottages. While it is small, we like the king size bed, soaker tub, and front porch. Easy access to the beach and family pool. Homeowners Collection was very attentive to making sure we had everything we needed.

Great little house, close to the beach and to town square. Very clean and everything you need for 2. We had 2 teenagers, who slept in the loft, but it was tight. Can’t stand up in loft and only 1 bathroom, which with 2 teen girls was a little challenging, but doable. The owner is close by and stopped to check on us. The management company was amazing. Answered immediately to any request.

This is a wonderful and cozy place for a couple or a small family. This trip it was my wife, our 3 month-old baby, and myself. There’s a set of stairs that go up to a small loft with 2 beds if you have kids old enough to climb ladders. We were just across the street from the pool and 5 min walk to the private beach. We will definitely rent again.

What a great place to stay for us. Honahlea was the perfect size for the two of us on a long weekend in Seaside. Being all on one level made the place even better. While it may seem small in the pictures, it is actually perfect for a couple. Plenty of space to move about and it is well stocked for a stay. The front porch was a fantastic place to have breakfast each morning or sip on a glass of wine in the evening.

Cute little cottage in a perfect location to the pool and beach. The lofted beds were a little too high for our young kids, you’d probably want your kids to be at least 6 to sleep up there safely. The property met all our needs although we did have a scare when my foot broke right through a rotted floorboard on the deck and narrowly missed an injury. Overall the Management company was great and we loved our stay!

The cottage has a lovely porch. It did not have any hangers in the closet and no dresser to store clothes. Possibly a queen sized bed would allow room for clothes storage and cheap dry cleaner hangers would do. I thought the coverings on the furniture were unattractive and added to the feeling of cramped space.

Honahlea is a cute cottage with a lovely front porch and a great location. The furniture (loveseat and chair) is rather uncomfortable, and the bed is hard as a rock. The bathroom could use some updates, and the bathrom fan only worked intermittently, so it was always damp in there. I would not rent this particular cottage again. The management was very helpful and responsive, and deserves 5 stars.
