Empty Pockets

Featured in Coastal Lifestyle Magazine: A Luxury Seaside Vacation Rental Steps from the Beach

Welcome to Empty Pockets, a four-bedroom, four-and-a-half-bath luxury home in the heart of Seaside, Florida. It sits on Forest Street in the Croquet Lawn District, about a four-minute walk from Seaside’s private beach access at Tupelo Pavilion. The home was featured in Coastal Lifestyle Magazine and has 3,084 square feet across three levels plus a rooftop tower. Designer chandeliers hang throughout, every bedroom has its own luxury bath, and a butler elevator carries luggage and groceries up for you. Empty Pockets sleeps 11 and is one of the most refined group rentals on 30A.

A Grand Arrival

Pull into the private rear driveway, which has room for two large vehicles and a designated bike rack. Out front, a swinging daybed on the porch is the place for your first coffee of the morning.

Inside, the main entry foyer sets the tone. It has a built-in bench, custom storage, a sitting area, a large flat-screen TV, and a gas fireplace for cooler evenings. It works as a second living room, and because it sits just off the bunk room, it’s a natural hangout for the younger crew.

First Floor: Two Private Suites

King suite: a spa-style ensuite with dual vanities, chandelier lighting, and a glass-enclosed rain shower.

Custom bunk room for five: queen-over-queen built-in bunks plus a twin trundle, a mounted flat-screen TV, and its own ensuite bath with a tub/shower combination.

A dedicated laundry room with a full-size washer and dryer serves this level. The butler elevator starts here, so luggage, groceries, and beach gear go straight up to the second-floor kitchen and the third-floor bedrooms instead of up the stairs.

Second Floor: Entertaining at Its Finest

Chef’s kitchen: two Sub-Zero refrigerators, a double Wolf oven, and a marble island with bar seating for four.

Wine and coffee bar: a dedicated room just around the corner from the kitchen. It has a wine refrigerator, refrigerated beverage drawers, and a coffee station, so evening pours and morning lattes have a home of their own.

Living room: a decorative fireplace, a large flat-screen TV, plush seating, and abundant natural light.

Dining room: seating for six beneath a designer chandelier.

This level also has a dedicated remote-work desk, a powder room, and an open-air second-floor porch with lounge seating for Gulf breezes and golden hour.

Third Floor: The Primary Retreat

King primary suite: the showpiece of the home, with a chandelier and mounted TV. Its spa bath has a glass-enclosed rain shower with five rain shower heads plus a handheld rain wand, the kind of shower you’d expect at a five-star resort. A separate deep soaking tub with its own television waits for a long evening soak.

Queen suite: a private bath with glass tile accents, a single vanity, and a deep soaking tub/shower combination.

A second washer and dryer sits just outside the primary bedroom, so there’s no carrying laundry between floors. Every bedroom has blackout curtains to help everyone sleep in after a long beach day.

The Rooftop Tower

At the top of the home, the open-air tower deck has a contemporary fire table and curved lounge seating. It looks out over Seaside’s rooftops with glimpses of the Gulf, and it’s the spot for sunset cocktails and stargazing.

A Seaside Stay Like No Other

From sunrise on the porch swing to firelight in the tower, Empty Pockets pairs the walkability of Seaside with high-end finishes. The beach, Seaside’s more than 40 shops and eateries, Airstream Row, and the Seaside fitness center next door are all a short walk away.
