3 Houses to Beach Access in Seaside, FL. Fernleigh Cottage

1 King, 1 Queen, 2 Twins

Welcome to Fernleigh Cottage, a timeless retreat just three houses away from private beach access in the heart of Seaside, Florida. Steeped in history and coastal charm, this inviting home is owned by the former proprietors of Seaside’s beloved antique shop, Fernleigh. Many of the unique antiques that once graced the shop now fill the cottage, adding warmth, character, and a touch of nostalgia. Thoughtfully designed for families and friends, Fernleigh offers the perfect setting to relax, unwind, and create cherished memories by the sea.

As you arrive, you’ll be welcomed by a spacious screened-in porch, a true Southern staple. One side features a cozy swing, perfect for lazy afternoons with a book, while the other hosts a set of classic rocking chairs around a table—ideal for sipping morning coffee or enjoying an evening glass of wine while the salty breeze drifts in.

Step inside to find yourself on the first level, where high ceilings and an open-concept design create a bright and airy living space. The comfortably furnished living area invites relaxation, while a charming game table provides a spot for puzzles, cards, or board games. The dining area is perfect for gathering over meals, and the fully equipped kitchen ensures you have everything needed to prepare delicious coastal-inspired dishes. A hallway leads to the serene primary bedroom, featuring a king-sized bed, a private bath with an old-fashioned clawfoot tub (complete with a shower attachment), and direct access to the back porch and shaded yard. This outdoor space, accessible through both the kitchen and primary bedroom, includes a grill—perfect for casual cookouts after a long day at the beach. A convenient washer and dryer closet is also located along the hallway.

Upstairs, the second level features two additional bedrooms, each offering its own unique charm. The queen bedroom provides access to a private balcony, where you can enjoy the coastal breeze in peaceful solitude. The third bedroom is a cozy retreat with two twin beds, perfect for kids or extra guests. Both bedrooms share a hallway bath with a walk-in shower.

Whether you’re planning a romantic escape, a fun-filled family vacation, or a getaway with friends, Fernleigh Cottage is the perfect home base for experiencing the magic of Seaside.
