Description

2354 EAST COUNTY HIGHWAY 30-A

2 KINGS, 2 BUNK BEDS

Dragonfly, formaly known as the guest cottage Merilee, has the prime beachside location in Seaside. Located just one house back from the beach with stunning gulf views from the balconies, one block to the Seaside Amphitheater and air stream row, and only 10 steps to the East Pavilion beach access this cottage location if a preferred favorite of many families!  Walk up the stairs and step into the glass surrounded great room with the turquoise seas calling. Fall asleep to the sound of the waves against the beach. Watch the famous gulf sunsets from the sofa, or walk the 10 steps to the beach entrance. Look out at night at the lights on the famed East Ruskin Pavilion right outside the windows. Take a stroll to Bud and Alley’s for dinner or a drink or perhaps an ice-cream at Heavenly Shortcakes. After sunning on the beach, riding bikes, or being our guest at the private Seaside Swim and Tennis Club, curl up in one of our (2) king master suites. Both feature king-size beds with plush linens to indulge.

The second floor king master has a newly remodeled private bath with double vanity and marble shower along with great ocean views and a gulf side balcony. The other king master is for the late sleeper and is located on the first floor with its newly remodeled bath with double vanity, marble shower, morning kitchen and screen porch access. The third oversized suite has two sets of double bunkbeds to comfortably sleep four with plenty of play space, a 32' TV, play table and chairs and a private bath. Our home has been furnished by Pizitz for that great Seaside feel.

The open concept kitchen is completely remodeled with new cabinets and appliances including a GE stainless steel dual-fuel range. Vetrazzo (recycled sea glass) countertops and dark stained wood floors round out the fresh, clean look.

We've added Directv HD with Genie throughout the house. There is a large 46' LCD TV and DVD in the living room, along with 32' LCD TVs in each of the three bedrooms. WIFI access is available throughout the cottage. Sony Stereo with iPod Dock in the living room and 2 private off-street parking spaces are provided.

This is the real deal for gulf viewing. You don’t have to hang over the balcony and stand on one leg to see the ocean. It’s right in plain sight and in full view from many vantage points. This was one of the original Anniversary Cottages (Completely re-done) at Seaside and overlooks the quaint Honeymoon Cottages that are in our front yard. Dragonfly is the cottage you dream of. Simple, quaint, cozy, beautiful and ready for your memories.

This house was in a wonderful location, beach entrance right outside our door, Seaside food and shops very close, walked everywhere. Could view part of ocean from porch and living room. We enjoyed our stay, the teenagers got bikes to explore the area. Had a couple small issues that the property management took care of for us. Would rent again, perfect for us.

My family and I really enjoyed Merilee By The Sea on our recent vacation to Seaside, Florida. We have been to Seaside before but never in a place so wonderful and with such incredible views of the water. We were blown away by the proximity to the beach and shops, restaurants, etc. The location was unbeatable. The home itself was beautifully decorated and the family was very comfortable. We have never rented from the homeowners collection before but we will surely do so from now on. The staff were very helpful, the price was lower and we received a nice welcome basket upon arrival. Thank you for a wonderful vacation!

Amazing property, will definitely stay again!

WOW, this home is truly impeccable. We loved it from the pictures but were pleasantly surprised to arrive to perfection in real life! The views from this cottage are incredible and the interior was just gorgeous. Our group of 8 people stayed here for a week and we were all comfortable and pampered in this home. The staff at Homeowner's collection were also extremely helpful and knowledgeable. We will definitely stay here again!
