About this property

Expansive Porches, Renovated in SeasideFL 4 Min Walk to Beach - + 2 Bikes!

1 King, 2 Queens, 2 Twins

Welcome to Kaya a renovated cottage nestled in the heart of Seaside. This updated home blends modern comfort and designer touches throughout—from the sleek new kitchen and spa-inspired bathrooms to the stylish furniture. Kaya is ideally located within easy walking distance to all of Seaside’s top attractions—beach access, shopping, dining, and family-friendly entertainment. What sets this home apart are the expansive porches that span the entire front of the home on both levels, offering serene views of a peaceful wooded park. Whether you're sipping your morning coffee in a rocking chair on the ground floor porch or enjoying a breezy dinner on the upstairs screened-in porch, you'll find no shortage of spots to relax and recharge.

Inside there are three comfortable bedrooms on the main level and a fourth bedroom upstairs. The king primary suite is a luxurious retreat with new furnishings, a mounted flat-screen TV, and French doors that lead to a private screened-in porch lounge with cushioned wicker seating—a perfect spot for evening cocktails. The ensuite bathroom is spa-like, with marble countertops, dual vanities, and a glass-enclosed walk-in shower featuring a rainfall and multiple-stream shower system.

Down the hall is the queen bedroom with a mounted flat-screen TV, a club chair, and French doors that open to a shared screened porch outfitted with rocking chairs. A third bedroom features two twin beds, porch access, reading lights, and cheerful decor. These two bedrooms share a hall bathroom with a large vanity and a glass-enclosed tub and shower combination.

Upstairs, the bright and airy second floor is where everyone naturally gathers. The new kitchen is a highlight, boasting gleaming quartz countertops, stainless steel appliances, a large refrigerator, and a Keurig coffee maker. There's a breakfast bar with seating for three and ample storage space throughout. The kitchen flows seamlessly into the dining area, where a large table comfortably seats eight. The spacious living room is outfitted with a large sectional sofa, accent chairs, and a mounted flat-screen TV—making it the perfect space for movie nights or game days. Just beyond the living area, the screened-in upper porch is an ideal extension of your living space with a dining table and additional seating, making outdoor meals or sunset lounging easy and enjoyable any time of day.

Also on the second floor is a bonus work area with a built-in desk, perfect for guests who need to check in with the office or work remotely. At the back of the home is the fourth bedroom—a private queen guest suite with its own renovated bathroom, flat-screen TV, and porch access for a little extra peace and privacy. The ensuite bathroom features a glass-enclosed tub and shower combo and a generous vanity.

Outside, guests can rinse off in the outdoor shower after a sandy day at the beach, fire up the grill for a laid-back barbecue, or stroll into town for dinner and a show under the stars. Kaya delivers the perfect mix of comfort, convenience, and coastal charm.

Family fav

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We have visited Seaside for almost two decades and have stayed in several different Homeowners Collection properties but this is by far our favorite (so far).Great layout, with the kitchen and family room upstairs which gave the place a light and airy feel but the best part of the house are the screened in porches on the first and second floors that face the greenbelt between Seaside and Watercolor. A great place to read, relax, have a meal, or a nap. This home is very close to the city center but just far enough away that you don't hear the noise or deal with the traffic and parking closer to the square (key during spring break weeks).The condition of the home and furnishings was excellent and the kitchen well stocked. This will be a family fav going forward.

First time - We'll be back

The house was great and location super. It was our first time to Seaside and it didn't disappoint. We were concerned house was far from the beach but it was a 5 minute walk at most. Very conveniently located near everything but enough of a distance that you felt privacy. House was very nice and we will definitely be back. Property management company was very good.

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We had a great time. We enjoyed the house. We had an air conditioner problem, but it was taken care of right away. We would probably not stay in the house again because the living room and kitchen were on the second floor, so there was a lot of up and down. Just was not a good fit for us.

Unexpected stay at Kaya!

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: The house we originally rented was unavailable at the last moment and the staff of Homeowners Collection were able to relocate us to Kaya. While it caused a longer walk to our beach chairs that were reserved at a different pavilion, the house was absolutely lovely. It’s in a perfect location away from the hustle and bustle of Seaside and 30A but very close to town center. It has large porches (both screened and not screened) with ample seating. The house was very clean and is decorated beautifully. The kitchen was stocked with nice cookware and dishes and the separate ice maker was a huge plus! We come to Seaside often and Kaya is now one of our favorite houses! We would definitely stay again!!

Located in close proximity to the pool, church and downtown Seaside. The beach was just a short walk away too! I love that the home was clean, included two bike rentals, and a nice welcoming package. I was very impressed with the politeness of each member that represented HOC whether it be through text or talking. I would definitely rent from HOC again!!! Thank you 😊

Great house

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Homeowners could not have been any more helpful than they were. Truly went above and beyond expectations. We have never used this agency before but will certainly in the future. The house was perfect for our family and was one of the cleanest homes we’ve stayed in in our 10 yrs of renting in Seaside. (and I’m very particular!). Lisa was one of the reasons our booking and availability was spot on. She showed wonderful customer service and they are fortunate to have her as an employee. Great time in a great home!

Good, but...

Spacious house in a great location if you are looking for a more reasonable price off the water. The layout of the house is perfect to give kiddos some space while still being close. And, the house house a fabulous stereo system to pipe music to almost every room and balcony. The green space is lovely but also has a lot of walking and biking traffic, early and late. The negatives are simple. It’s time for an update on the decor and some of the baths are dated and hard for the staff to keep clean. This house would be awesome with just a bit more TLC.

Reviewer Comments: Our rental experience could have been better with some small details. I have reached out to homeowners collection, but they have not been open to listening. The house has all the space we need, and the location is perfect. This is the 3rd time we have rented it, but we had quite a few issues.
