About this property

Petite Parisian Charm in the HEART of Seaside with Private Beach

Skip the car keys and the cookie-cutter condos. Step into Picasso Sun, a chic, industrial-style SOHO loft designed for romantic getaways and solo retreats. Whether you’re sipping champagne on the rooftop under the stars or strolling to art galleries just steps from your door, this is the "European" escape you've been looking for. Park, relax, and let the Gulf breeze do the rest
The Vibe
Style: Think NYC loft meets European flat—efficient, compact, and cozy (not a "Ritz Carlton" luxury suite).

Capacity: Strictly for one person or a couple. No children, teens, or pets (due to guest allergies)..If you have children, please take a look at VRBO Listing #58131 my Picasso Moon...

Amenities: One queen bedroom, a compact kitchenette (small stove, fridge, microwave), and all linens provided.

Rooftop Access: While there is no private balcony, the rooftop is steps away for candlelight dinners under the stars with views of the Gulf.

The Location
Primo Spot: Located on a pedestrian street, seconds away from art galleries, boutiques, and Bud & Alley’s.

The Beach: We are not directly on the beach, but a short, easy stroll to the iconic Seaside pavilions.

Convenience: Once you arrive, you won’t need a car. Everything is walkable
The Fine Print
Stay: 2-night minimum. Check the updated calendar for availability.

Parking: Designated parking is available for $20 (total stay) during Spring/Summer. It is less than two blocks away.

Pool & Fitness: Optional passes are $30/day for two people.

Beach Gear: Reserve your chairs and umbrellas online via Cabana Man.

Security: Exterior Ring cameras are active on the building, stairs, and rooftop

My Picasso Sun is not fancy and is Small and Cozy..but extremely efficient and location is Primo!

Location location location! You’ll be hard pressed to find a better location than this! It is quite small, but you don’t go to Seaside to sit in your room. I think I had a bit of a mild allergic reaction to something in the apartment. Could have just been dust or light mold. I am super sensitive. The shower in the bedroom was quite unexpected, along with the sliding glass doors going into the bedroom/bathroom. There are no locks in the windows, but the sliding glass doors did lock. So if you’re paranoid about safety, like I am, you’re secure in the bedroom at night. I was slightly disappointed the a/c would go below 70*. The fans helped move the air. Overall I would definitely recommend! The host was great!

Kimberly, thank you for sharing your feedback and for the kind words about our location and hosting! To clarify for future guests, we did a thorough safety check following your stay and confirmed that the bedroom window indeed is equipped with functioning locks. Regarding the layout, the suite is designed with an efficient, open-concept European flair—much like a boutique Paris apartment—where the shower is tucked privately behind a partition wall within the bedroom area. We’re glad you enjoyed the local Seaside atmosphere, and we hope you had a chance to experience the incredible stargazing from our rooftop deck!

This was our 1st visit to Seaside, and we will be back. This was a perfect spot to be in the middle of all things Seaside yet we never heard a peep once inside the door. Paris-style apartment is a perfect description for this condo but certainly enough room for our shorter getaway. Questions & communication with the owner was very helpful.

The place was perfectly located to access restaurants and shops but enough off the beaten path not to be crowded. The roof top space was wonderful and well appointed with a view of the ocean. I would definitely stay here again! The owner was very responsive and onsite often.

Cynthia. thank you for leaving a review....... GPS does not work well in Seaside, therefore, I send all of my guests EXPLECITE directions, and if guests download, print and bring with them, it is not difficult to find. I also tell folks upfront that parking can be a challenge, but in every busy and popular resort where so many visitors wish to explore, parking will always be a challenge.

About the host

Hosted by Bert

Host profile image
Jim and Bert live in Seaside...and they live above the Picasso Moon and Sun. Bert is a Realtor with Scenic Sotheby's International in Santa Rosa Beach, Florida and has been since 1985, first in Tennessee and since 1998 in Florida. Since they purchased the building, Bert 'inherited' the art/toy/gallery on the first level, and has been running it successfully for 7 years. They love it in Seaside and are happy and excited to share their special place with others.

Why they chose this property

Owning this special place in Seaside makes it possible for us to live our dream and also share this fabulous spot on the Gulf with others. WE try to keep the rates reasonable enough to balance between paying for our dream and allowing others to enjoy and Seaside is a special place that once you arrive, you will want to come back time and time again.

What makes this property unique

This darling little loft type apartment is perfect for two....and You walk out the front door to shops and resturants and right now, I am hearing the Chapel chime 11:00 . You hear the bells and the noises of this fabulous community, almost like you are living and enjoying a small European city by the sea.
Please Please Please...if you are looking for a Ritzz Carlton type of accommodations, THIS IS NOT...we are trendy, bohemian and artsy....so don't expect something we are not and then complain.
