About this property

Incredible Gulf Views from Balcony in Seaside, Across from Beach, + 2 Bikes

1 King, 1 Queen Sleeper Sofa, Sleeps 4

Perched above Seaside’s iconic Central Square, Cork the Whine offers a rare elevated escape where views of the Gulf of Mexico and the vibrant energy of town unfold beneath you. Located on the third floor of the Dreamland Heights building, this stylish one-bedroom condo offers sweeping views of both the Gulf and Central Square, with a private balcony that places you above the heart of it all.

From sunrise to sunset, the balcony offers a unique vantage point to experience Seaside’s daily rhythm. Begin your mornings with coffee as the Gulf shimmers in the distance, spend afternoons watching the activity of Central Square below, and enjoy golden-hour skies as the sun sets along the coast. As evening arrives, you may hear live music from the nearby Seaside Amphitheater or take in festive moments like New Year’s Eve and Fourth of July celebrations from this elevated perch.

Guests arrive via elevator to the building and enter the condo on its lower level. Just outside the front door, a spacious shared deck offers additional seating and wide views of Central Square and the Gulf—an inviting preview of the scenery that surrounds the property. Inside, the condo’s distinctive multi-level layout leads to the main living space upstairs, accessed by a ship’s ladder and narrow spiral staircase.

The upper level opens to a bright, loft-style living area designed to highlight the views beyond the windows. Tall ceilings, expansive glass, and relaxed coastal furnishings create an inviting space to unwind after a day at the beach. A queen sleeper sofa provides additional sleeping accommodations, and a television with cable service is available for casual viewing.

The living space flows into a fully equipped kitchen designed for easy vacation dining. Whether preparing beach-day snacks, mixing sunset cocktails, or enjoying a quiet meal in, the kitchen includes everything needed for convenient coastal living. Bar seating for three creates a casual gathering spot, while a dining table for two offers a cozy place to enjoy meals together.

Just beyond the living area, sliding doors open to the private balcony overlooking Central Square with views toward the Gulf. This compact outdoor space provides a charming place to take in the coastal breeze, enjoy morning coffee, or watch the activity of town from above.

The entry level of the condo offers a peaceful king primary bedroom with large windows that capture views of Central Square and glimpses of the Gulf. The bedroom also includes a television with cable service. A stacked washer and dryer are conveniently located inside the bedroom closet for guest use. A full hall bath with a single vanity and tub-and-shower combination is located just outside the bedroom, along with a separate half bath on the same level.

Beach access is located just steps away through Central Square at Coleman Pavilion, allowing for an easy walk from the condo to Seaside’s white-sand shoreline. Parking is available on a first-come, first-served basis in designated shared spaces behind the 121 Central Square building and along Quincy Circle.

Perfect for couples or small getaways, Cork the Whine offers a distinctive stay above the center of Seaside—where Gulf views, town energy, and a walkable location come together for a memorable coastal retreat.

Seaside Getaway

The property location could not be more perfect. The check-in process was easy and the employee checking us in was very helpful. The condo definitely needs some updating. There are several areas that need to be attended to. Thank you.

Many positives with some negatives.

Rating Details: The property manager was more than helpful. The vacation rental was clean. I was very happy with the location. I was satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Seaside is my favorite beach town. I love that my condo was overlooking the square. The condo was great although there were some issues; I didn't have AC the first day, there was no water pressure in the bathroom sink & the spiral stairs was very difficult to get up and down.

Great Stay!

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was very clean. I was very happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Cork the Whine was a wonderful location for my beach stay. The view from the balcony was the my favorite. The accommodations were good. The ice machine was broken my full stay and maintenance never fixed it but Homeowners was kind enough to bring me ice on three occasions. For the price, I do think some updates to the cottage are needed. There is just wear and tear on the place but nothing broken or unsanitary. Overall it was a great stay.

Both loved & struggled with the location

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was more than happy with the location. I was satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We both loved & struggled with the location! It's close to everything! But because of that it was very loud at night and very early in the morning. Every morning at 6am they pressure wash the sidewalks directly below the unit. Also, the "sofa bed" isn't really much of a bed. Our daughter had to sleep on the couch as when you unfold the "bed" it laid directly on the ground and you couldn't put a sheet on it. The unit was well stocked, clean and in an amazing location! We loved having the Market right next door.

Great location

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was very clean. I was very happy with the location. I was satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Fantastic location and the Homeowners Collection really is a great alternative to the other vacation rental platforms. Their customer service alone sets them apart.The 1 bedroom place is adequately cooled via window unit airconditioners, but truth be told I hadnt operated one since the dive apartment I rented in college.The location cannot be beat; you really are in the heart of Seaside. However its been a minute since the unit has been "refreshed" and there are some signs of that such as the dry rot around the window sills and paint stains in the upperlevel around the kitchen area.All of that said, I would recommend staying at this condo and would definitely recommend utilizing The Homeowners Collection for your next vacation rental.
