About this property
Updated, One Level, 1 BD Cottage in Seaside, FL, Sleeps 4 + 2 Adult Bikes!
1 Queen, 1 Sleeper Sofa
Welcome to Risa’s Cottage, a charming guest retreat tucked away on Seaside’s quieter West side, just nine cottages down from the iconic Seaside Chapel. Perfect for couples or small families, this quaint one-bedroom, one-bathroom cottage comfortably sleeps two adults and up to two small children. Nestled behind the main house, "Life is Good," the cottage is accessed via a private footpath that leads to an arbor gate surrounded by mature trees and lush landscaping, offering a sense of seclusion and peace. A designated parking space right in front of the home adds ease to your stay.
Inside the gated courtyard, you’ll find thoughtful outdoor touches, including a newly added boardwalk, comfortable patio seating, and subtle ground lighting to guide you safely after dark. The furnished front porch features tall Adirondack chairs and a garden stool—perfect for sipping your morning coffee or winding down with a glass of wine at dusk. The surrounding yard provides a bit of open space for little ones to play while you relax. Guests also enjoy exclusive use of a private enclosed laundry area and an outdoor shower, ideal after a long day at the beach. A propane grill is available for evening cookouts, and bicycles can be stored safely inside the courtyard.
Step inside to a bright, airy living and dining space with a queen-sized sleeper sofa, built-in dining nook, and a Smart TV. For casual meals, two cleverly designed coffee tables convert into tray tables for sofa-side dining. The compact, well-equipped kitchen features a Sub-Zero refrigerator/freezer, induction cooktop, built-in microwave, and a small sink—everything you need to prepare breakfast or a light meal. Just off the living space, the queen bedroom offers soft natural light, dual nightstands, and a private full bath with a shower and bench seat. A built-in closet provides storage with drawers and hanging space, while original artwork adds a personal touch throughout. Whether you're enjoying the calm of your private porch, the convenience of walkable Seaside, or the charm of this peaceful hideaway, Risa’s Cottage offers an ideal escape for your beachside getaway.
