About this property

UPDATED 2BDR W/LOFT IN SEASIDE ! 1 BLK TO BEACH, Villa Whimsey, sleeps 8!

2 QUEEN, 2 TWINS WITH TRUNDLES (Twin trundles accommodate smaller children)

Seaside is a place of whimsey for adults and children alike. Villa Whimsey, located on Tupelo Street, Seaside's first street, with easy access to the dazzling white beach and sparkling turquoise water for which the Gulf of Mexico and Seaside are famous, is the perfect place to call home during your visit.
The wrap-around screened porch on the ground level immediately invites you to read, visit, or just hang out. It also welcomes you to the best of all possible beach house designs. A queen master suite, including a full bath (bathroom functions as shower faucet only) and a private screened porch with a glider, a queen bedroom and bath, and the all important outside shower complete the ground floor.
The second floor is an open, airy and light-filled dining room, kitchen, and living room with plenty of room for socializing with family and friends. Two decks encourage you to wake up slowly and then entice you to watch the sunset over the distinctive roofs of Seaside as another day comes to a close. A third-floor sleeping loft with views of the sky further adds to the ambiance of being at the beach. The full bath has a whimsical claw-footed tub and a stained glass window. There are two twin beds with trundles in the loft.

Villa Whimsey makes a restful and relaxing retreat for all. Villa Whimsey is two doors from the Tupelo Street Gazebo, a favorite gathering place for young and old. The Children's and Recreation Areas are close by, along with unforgettable restaurants and boutiques. It is said that "all streets in Seaside lead to the sea" and Tupelo is no different. Your special treat is that your gateway to the beach is the Tupelo Street Beach Pavilion.

Adorable town to visit
Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We stayed in Villa Whimsey and loved it. It is a 3 min walk to the beach, 4 min walk to town center and 1 min to fitness. All much faster on bikes. The management team was so helpful and responsive. The loft is a tub only and bathroom for kiddos or tiny adults as the ceiling is low. We had a great time and loved beach time, pool time and dinners at home with the grill and full kitchen. The town at night was the place to be! We hope to return and loved everything about Seaside.

Winter Get Away to Seaside
Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was very clean. I was very happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: It's always a good day when in Seaside. Staying at Villa Whimsey, an older property, allowed us to experience the charm of what Seaside was, and is. The layout is very conducive to relaxation and fun. From the wrap around porch, to the decks in the back, and the open concept living area, it's a great place to leave all of the stresses and worries of life behind. It's in walking distance to all of the amenities that Seaside has to offer.

The perfect home for a family
Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: I loved staying here. It was perfect for our family of 5. It's nice enough without being too nice where you are afraid your kids will mess something up. I truly loved our time here. If you have a kid in a pack n play, the primary bathroom is large enough for your pack n play. The second guest room doesn't get too much morning light and so our kids miraculously slept in.

Awesome Property
Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Absolutely loved this cottage just a few blocks walk to the square or to the beach and about 5 minutes walk to the pool and gym facility. Very well kept and, with three bedrooms and three full baths, it's just the right size for a large family with kids. The bottom floor housed two bedrooms with queen beds and the loft (third floor) had two twin trundle beds making the potential for four twin beds. The kitchen/dining/living area on the 2nd floor was fully stocked with everything you need including all your quality pots/pans and cooking needs (I very seldom see this in a rental property). Even had both a Keurig and a regular coffee pot. The living area TV was full of features with just about every streaming channel active. Also loved the outdoor spaces including 2nd floor rear balcony and front porch. We would definitely stay here again. The only minor complaint might be the singular AC unit which had a hard time adequately cooling the upper floor loft without freezing everyone on the first floor.Thanks again Homeowner's Collection for making every aspect of our stay worry-free.

Bigger Than Expected
Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Immediately when walking in, the house was bigger than expected and had everything we needed. We had a baby and a 5 year old which accommodated everything perfectly. Everything was kept nicely, and it's not too far of a walk from the square or the beach.

Accommodating but cold
Rating Details: The property manager was adequately helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: The AC was either working incredibly well or it wasn’t because the bottom floor with all the beds was freezing. We had to sleep with all the blankets. We told the rental company but they kept saying “heat rises”. Yes that’s true, the bunk room was incredibly hot but the rest of the house was freezing. By the end of the trip we all slept on the couch or in the loft. We were grateful they let us spent two extra nights but next time I’ll bring warm long underwear.

Convenient and Cozy
Rating Details: The property manager was more than helpful. The vacation rental was very clean. I was very happy with the location. I was satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Cute cottage, very convenient to Seaside. The house is older, but well maintained. The temperature in the loft area was not as well regulated as the other parts of the house. The living room furniture could use an update (not very comfortable, and did not smell fresh). Check-out time is way too early! Overall, we were pleased.
