Create unforgettable memories and unwind in style at Vista del Mar- a stunning retreat, perfectly nestled on a prime corner lot along the picturesque Seaside Avenue! This beloved family getaway features two expansive front porches and a unique three-tier tower that offers breathtaking sunset views of the Gulf of Mexico and vibrant sights of Seaside's charming cottages.

As you approach this grand, classic home, you'll be greeted by an inviting open-air porch, complete with ample lounge seating and a comfortable swing, all overlooking the private, fenced-in front yard and the beautiful Seaside Avenue. Step inside to a spacious entry foyer that leads you into the heart of the home.

To the right, you'll discover a cozy living area equipped with a flat-screen TV, opening gracefully to a fully stocked kitchen with stainless steel appliances, catering to all your culinary needs for memorable family dinners. Adjacent to the kitchen, a stylish dining area features a wooden table that comfortably seats six, while an outdoor dining space on the screened-in porch is perfect for al fresco meals with seating for eight.
At the back of the home, a second well-furnished living room with another flat-screen TV provides an ideal space for relaxation or watching different programming than in the front living area. The first floor also boasts a serene king bedroom with a private en-suite bathroom, ensuring comfort and convenience for guests.

Venture to the second floor, where three additional spacious bedrooms await, each with its own private bath. Enjoy access to the expansive second-story front porch that overlooks Seaside Avenue, complete with comfortable furnishings, a swing, and a table set for four—perfect for your card games or working on that beach jigsaw puzzle.

The large primary suite, sprawling nearly 600 square feet, features a luxurious king-sized canopy bed, a cozy seating area for reading or watching TV, and a sizable walk-in closet. The impressive primary bathroom offers dual vanities, a whirlpool spa soaker tub, and a glass-enclosed walk-in shower complete with a rain shower head. Step out onto your private porch adorned with a charming loveseat swing, outdoor dining for two, and two rocking chairs, all designed for moments of relaxation and solitude.

For the ultimate experience, ascend the spiral staircase to the third-floor tower, a dreamlike setting with a hammock and seating that affords stunning sunset views down East Ruskin and across downtown Seaside, as well as panoramic sights of the vibrant cottages below.
If you're seeking a quintessential Seaside experience, there's truly no better place than Vista del Mar. Your unforgettable getaway awaits!

Value in location

Seemed dated and somewhat in need of repair and cleanup. All dishes and utensils, taster and toaster oven had to be cleaned. Roaches were a daily battle. After unpacking and settling in, showered upstairs to find leak down to kitchen. Had to move and share bath. Plumber never called nor came to fix so we couldn’t use that bath or bedroom. The bathroom door would/could not close. The washer dryer set was so old and rusted, we had to be careful using as not to stain towels and clothes. When we went upstairs to tower to enjoy, we found work tools, paints cans and broken hammock on deck floor. They did come to fix that but later on day before we left. Christmas Daywas another exercise in washing by hand all the pots and pans we were using as well as knives, bowls and utensils. Window screen was off in back yard. All the wood flooring was marred and stained as I pointed out to representative that did come to check leak from shower to kitchen. Some of the vanity and shower fixtures upstairs and downstairs were loose and unsecured (also not caulked.). Several areas of ceilings were stained and or damaged as were vents rusted. Seemed a shame such a sweet home would be in this condition and rented at a premium price. I was told we would be credited the “fee” for inconvenience, but I’ve yet to hear from or see any credit. Hopefully, the owner coming in following our departure will attend to all the upkeep and exterminate.
