Prime Seaside Location Steps from the Beach

Welcome to Morning Star, a charming Seaside guest cottage perfectly positioned just 69 feet from beach access on Odessa Street. This coveted location places you only a three-minute walk from the Seaside Amphitheater and a five-minute stroll to downtown Seaside, where more than 40 shops and restaurants await. Whether you’re heading to the beach, browsing local boutiques, or enjoying an evening concert, everything Seaside has to offer is right outside your door.

Private Coastal Cottage with Lush Surroundings

Tucked along a sandy footpath with its own private entrance, Morning Star offers a rare sense of privacy in the heart of Seaside. Surrounded by lush landscaping on a spacious corner lot, this light-filled cottage feels like a hidden retreat while still being steps from the Gulf and Seaside’s iconic streetscape.

Serene Main-Level Bedroom Retreat

The main floor features a thoughtfully designed queen bedroom with a newly renovated en-suite bathroom. The spa-like bath includes an LED-lit mirror, single vanity, and a large glass-enclosed walk-in shower. The bedroom is outfitted with dual mounted reading lights, a spacious dresser for storage, and a wall-mounted flat-screen TV—creating a comfortable and calming space to unwind after beach days.

Light-Filled Living Space with Juliette Balcony

Upstairs, the open-concept living area welcomes you with vaulted ceilings and abundant natural light, giving the space an airy coastal feel. A bistro table for two sits just off the stairs, ideal for casual meals or morning coffee. The adjacent living area features a sofa, club chair, and mounted flat-screen TV—perfect for relaxing after a day in the sun.

Well-Appointed Kitchen with Coastal Views

The galley-style kitchen is fully equipped for your stay, offering stone countertops, a small dishwasher, full-size refrigerator with freezer, four-burner stove, oven, microwave, toaster, and coffee maker. Glass double doors open to a charming Juliette balcony with seating for two, where you can enjoy treetop views and catch the sound of waves rolling in from just across the street.

A Romantic Seaside Getaway

With its unbeatable proximity to the beach, thoughtful design, and intimate setting, Morning Star is the perfect Seaside vacation rental for couples seeking a relaxing, romantic escape by the Gulf. From sunrise beach walks to evenings under the stars, this cottage delivers a true Seaside experience.

After many years of family trips to Seaside, I did a solo trip, staying at Morning Star. I would stay here again! Best location (right across from the beach), great rain shower, bed, just the right amount of space, sweet balcony facing the Gulf - I could go on! I recommend Morning Star and look forward to returning!!
Hello Claudia, What delightful comments of your Seaside stay in Morning Star Cottage! Homeowners Collection also appreciates the 5 star review.
We all need that solo trip from time to time and nothing better than a sweet balcony facing the gulf to soak it up.
Come back again and again and let us welcome you. Take care..
