6 Houses to Beach in Seaside, FL, Amazing Outdoor Spaces! + 2 Adult Bikes!
Welcome to O Happy Day, a charming Seaside, Florida retreat ideally positioned just 355 feet from beach access and an easy stroll to Central Square, where over 40 shops and restaurants await within minutes of your door. Instantly recognizable by its cheerful bright orange exterior, this inviting coastal cottage blends classic Seaside character with thoughtful modern updates. Guests will appreciate private driveway parking for two vehicles and a welcoming screened front porch complete with rocking chairs and a porch swing—perfect for morning coffee or unwinding after a sun-filled day along the Gulf.
Inside, the home opens to a light-filled living space with soaring ceilings and designer furnishings that create a relaxed yet elevated atmosphere. The comfortable living area features a large flat-screen TV, two club chairs, and a spacious queen sleeper sofa, offering an ideal setting for gathering with family or enjoying a quiet evening in. The open-concept layout flows seamlessly into a dedicated dining room anchored by a farmhouse table with seating for eight, while the well-appointed kitchen is designed for both function and style. It features granite countertops, stainless steel appliances, a four-burner electric cooktop, a large double-door refrigerator with water dispenser, dishwasher, and abundant built-in cabinetry. Bar seating for two adds a casual dining option, while a nearby side foyer provides easy access to the outdoor grill area. A rear laundry room with a full-size washer and dryer adds convenience for longer stays.
Just off the main living and dining areas, outdoor living continues with a rear screened porch offering a cozy lounge setup with a small sofa and club chair. This peaceful space opens to a fully fenced and gated private yard that runs from front to back, creating a rare sense of privacy in the heart of Seaside. Guests can enjoy al fresco dining at the picnic table or relax on the lush lawn, ideal for morning yoga or quiet afternoons. An outdoor shower, with direct access to the laundry and wet room, makes rinsing off after the beach effortless.
The first floor features two well-appointed guest bedrooms. The king bedroom offers French doors that open to the front porch, a closet, and convenient access to a shared hall bath with an updated vanity and tub/shower combination. The second bedroom is a queen suite with dual closets, a dresser, and French doors leading to the rear screened porch. Its private ensuite bath includes a single vanity and walk-in shower.
Upstairs, the primary suite serves as a serene retreat, complete with a king bed, generous closet space, and an ensuite bath featuring dual vanities and a tub/shower combination. From the suite, a staircase leads to the third-floor enclosed tower room, offering an additional queen sleeper sofa—perfect for accommodating extra guests. Just beyond, an open-air Juliet balcony provides a charming vantage point to take in sunset views over Seaside, adding a special touch to your stay.
With its unbeatable location, inviting indoor and outdoor living spaces, and thoughtful amenities, O Happy Day offers the perfect balance of charm, comfort, and convenience—an ideal setting for a memorable coastal getaway.

Despite the cold weather, we had a wonderful time staying in the cottage. It was the perfect location to walk everywhere. The beach walkover was two mins away. The house itself was stocked with all amenities needed. The sofa, beds and chairs were all very comfortable. Will be booking this home again.

We loved the house, location and working with the Home Owner’s Association. We just didn’t get to stay long enough. Because of a death in the family the day after we arrived, we packed up and left on the second day. I purchased trip insurance and am waiting to hear from them. We would love to come back to “O Happy Day”.

So originally we had booked a different house and got a call 2 days before our vacation that the AC was broken on that house and would we like to switch to this house instead. We were so bummed but then ended up falling in love with O Happy Day! The pictures don’t do it justice and the location is perfect. We loved being able to walk into town via the little footpaths. All in all it was a wonderful week at a wonderful house and I will definitely be booking with Homeowners Collection again because of the way they handled the whole situation.

Reviewer Comments:
It seemed as though I was waking up in the sky this morning, with sky blues and whites and light all around me. Today, I was waking up in the home appropriately named “Oh Happy Day!” Our relationship with the Light of the World produces joy and happiness in our lives. Similarly, it is the home’s relationship with light that produces the happiness in “Oh Happy Day!” Beginning in the tower on the third floor, which provides a refuge to get away for reading, prayer and reflection, all the way down to the first floor, one can count 76 windows that let the sunlight in. Combined with the whites and blues throughout the home, the sunlight creates a happy environment for a vacation or a place to get away. We thoroughly enjoyed our time at “Oh Happy Day!” Hopefully, you will too!

The house was very cute, clean and full of charm!!! We especially loved chatting and spending time together in the lookout tower and the screened porches. Lots of fun was had and memories made in this trip!
