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.   

* Saturday to Saturday 7 night minimum required during Summer; 5 night minimum in Spring & Spring Break, 3 night minimum for Fall, 2 night minimum for winter. Must be 25 years of age to rent and sign the registration.
