Welcome to Gravy | A Designer Guest Cottage in Seaside, Florida
Tucked alongside the main cottage and accessed by a private walkway, Gravy is a beautifully renovated guest cottage in the heart of Seaside, Florida. Ideal for couples or small families, this thoughtfully designed retreat offers privacy, architectural distinction, and close proximity to Seaside’s world-class amenities—all just moments from the beach.
Private Entry & First-Floor Bedroom Retreat
Guests enter Gravy through a dedicated side entrance that opens into a welcoming foyer with a hall closet for added storage. On this level, you’ll find the serene primary bedroom, complete with a modern four-poster queen bed, built-in closets, and direct access to a charming screened-in front porch. Furnished with two classic rocking chairs, this porch is a peaceful spot for morning coffee or winding down with a glass of wine after a beach day.
Also on the first floor is a beautifully finished full bathroom featuring a spacious walk-in shower, heated floors, and a stacked washer and dryer seamlessly integrated into the design for added convenience.
Light-Filled Living & Custom Kitchen Upstairs
Upstairs, the cottage opens into a bright, open-concept living and kitchen space filled with natural light from walls of windows. The custom-designed kitchen features a large central counter with bar seating for two, serving as both a dining area and gathering space. Guests will enjoy all-new stainless steel appliances, including a five-burner gas cooktop, farmhouse sink, wine fridge, and drawer-style refrigerator and freezer—perfect for extended stays or relaxed coastal entertaining.
The adjacent living area offers comfortable seating and includes a queen sleeper sofa, allowing Gravy to comfortably accommodate up to four guests. Just off the living room, an open-air balcony with seating for two overlooks Forest Street, providing a front-row seat to the rhythm of Seaside life.
Prime Seaside Location & Architectural Distinction
Gravy offers the rare convenience of its own private driveway and designated parking space, along with close proximity to the Seaside Swim & Tennis Club, fitness center, and other community amenities. Adding to its appeal, Gravy was recognized with the 2018 Seaside Prize for its exceptional design by renowned early Seaside architect Deborah Berke.
With its thoughtful layout, award-winning architecture, and unbeatable Seaside location, Gravy is a guest cottage you’ll want to return to year after year—your perfect coastal hideaway along Scenic Highway 30A.
