Description

517 FOREST STREET

3 KINGS, 1 XL TWIN BUNKROOM (Sleeps 2), BONUS BUNK ROOM SLEEPS 4 (2 bunks standard twin)- home sleeps 12 in total

Blessings by the Sea has undergone many renovations and is a well-maintained cottage with multiple porches, an open-air tower, and a lighted courtyard with outdoor dining. When you arrive you are greeted by expansive porches both up and down that run the entire length of the home. The open-air first-floor porch offers Adirondack rocker seating for four and a whimsical pineapple bench for two more. The adjacent outdoor lighted deck offers additional Adirondack seating for three more and outdoor dining for four. The perfect outdoor living area for morning coffee or dining al fresco and a great extension of the home. This home lives very large with multiple outdoor living spaces on three levels. 

On the first floor is a modern, renovated kitchen equipped with beautiful stainless steel appliances: a six-burner gas stove, a large double-door GE monogram fridge, and an under-counter wine and beverage fridge. The adjacent living room has soaring, open ceilings and enough furniture for everyone. Original art can be found throughout the home. The king-sized, downstairs large primary bedroom has an ensuite marble bathroom with dual vanities and a glass-enclosed rain shower. The primary bedroom also has a walk-in closet, plenty of drawer space for storage, and a desk for working remotely. There is also a half bath on the first floor off the living room for guests.  There is a designated walk-in laundry room on this level with a full-size washer and dryer. 

On the second floor are three additional bedrooms and a bonus bunk room that sleeps four. The second bedroom upstairs is a king with a private updated bathroom that features a single vanity and a glass-enclosed walk-in shower. The king bedroom also has a walk-in closet with plenty of storage and a large-mounted Roku TV. This room includes an attached bonus room with two sets of twin bunk beds for the kids, ideal for young families. This custom built-in bonus bunk room has a pocket door for privacy and each bunk has storage and its own individual bunk light.  The third bedroom has a king bed with a renovated private bathroom with a glass-enclosed walk-in shower. This third king bedroom features a walk-in closet, another desk for working remotely, a large mounted flat screen Roku TV, and opens to the screened-in porch with a lounge area off the king bedroom.  The fourth bedroom upstairs is a custom built-in XL Twin bunk room with adult-sized bunk beds with plenty of built-in storage, blackout privacy curtains, and each bunk has its own light, and there is a large flat-screen mounted Roku TV. There is a newly built marble half bath off the XL Twin bunkroom.  All upstairs bedrooms have access to a long, generous screened-in furnished porch to comfortably seat eight, and is ideal for a kids’ hangout or a perfect morning coffee spot.  The oversized porch features a bistro area for two, a lounge area with sofa and bench seating, and an additional section with two club chairs.  (All four bedrooms have ROKU TVs with Apple and Hulu TV; the main living room has a 65-inch TV with Cable & App television, perfect for watching football games).

What really sets this vacation home apart is the wide open spiral staircase leading to the third-floor open-air covered tower and one the best tower views of the town, offering a 360-degree view of Seaside and slight gulf views. The tower is a perfect spot to enjoy a glass of wine while watching the sunset over Seaside and the gulf.  Outside on the large lighted outdoor dining deck, you have a charcoal grill and an adjacent hammock as well as an enclosed outdoor private shower at the rear of the home.

This house was better than the pictures somehow. It lived really well, we had 4 adults, 2 little kids and 5 teens. It is close to the family pool, adult pool, the playground, the town center, parks. We hope to book it again and again. It was sparkling clean, the best amenities, not to mention just gorgeous and so well done throughout... truly I can't say enough good things about this house!
Hello Lauren, wow 5 teens and 2 little kids. So delighted Blessings by the Sea was the perfect house for your family as well as the location. Thank you for the positive review and we'll pass along to the owners!
We do hope to welcome you again and again, for sure. Happy summer!

We just stayed a week in Blessings By The Sea. It was a great home for our extended family. The bedroom setup was great. The 2 adult bedrooms upstairs were located at either end of the hallway with the 2 bunk rooms being attached or next door to the room with the king sized bed. We were traveling with our 2 grown children and their spouses. Our daughter has 3 littles (one slept in a bunk and the twins slept in port a cribs located in the second bunk room) This kept their noise level at a minimum for our son and his wife. The Outdoor Patio was a lifesaver for keeping the grandchildren happy and gave them lots of room to play. We ended up eating most meals outside since the weather was perfect. The kitchen was well stocked and had everything we needed. One last note, the outdoor shower was a great way to quickly get the kids cleaned up from the beach. We would stay here again!
