About this house rental
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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Two families, 8 people total, and this house was the perfect fit! Such a sweet home with comfy beds, beachy feel and clean clean clean. You can walk anywhere from her- just a block from the beach. All 4 kids slept upstairs (which is the hottest room but with the fans provided upstairs, it cools off immediately). Thank you for an awesome house to stay in! We will be back!!

Reviewer Comments:
House has a great location and is super cute. Found the Homeowners’ Collection staff to be surprisingly surly and the rental not to be ready for us upon arrival. The cleanliness of the rental was poor, and we asked for the cleaners to return to sweep the floor, clean mildew and conditioner out of the shower, and vacuum an excessive amount of pet hair off the rugs. We changed the air filter ourselves as they were so filthy. For the amount of special cleaning fees we paid for during coronavirus, we were shocked that basic cleaning was incomplete. We had a great trip anyway. The beach is fabulous and the town is so fun, but this house has a bunch of deferred maintenance that should be addressed.

Spring Break Delight
We love Seaside and Whimsey was a cute and perfectly located property. The home does need some minor repairs to the windows (frames falling apart) and to screens on the porch but these are minor and should not make you overlook this charming place.

We stayed here with two children and other family members — 7 total. It was a perfect size for us! Almost every room has access to a balcony! Location proximity was located equidistant from the beach and the pool/playground and was situated perfectly for us. The third (half story) loft was precious, but the twin beds with trundles up there are best suited for kids. We thoroughly enjoyed our quick stay at this sweet house! We also very much recommend staying with Homeowners Collection for making the process and the stay very easy!
