About this cottage rental
What’s there to love about Emma Lou?
* Seaside amenities included (beach access, 3 communal pools, fitness center, & parking)
* 3 bedrooms (1 king master suite, 1 queen, 2 sets of bunk beds) + a queen sleeper sofa to comfortably sleep 10 people!
* 2.5 bathrooms
* 3 min walk to the beach (0.1 mile)
* 6 min walk to Seaside Square (0.3 mile)
Located in Seaside, the Emma Lou sits on a cobblestoned street lined with palm trees that is a 3-minute walk from the white sandy beach! Seaside amenities are included with your stay! You have access to the beach, fitness center, 3 communal pools (the largest pool is 3 houses down from Emma Lou), and 2 parking spots right outside the house.
The purple door, sea green façade, and white wrap-around porch, will greet you upon entry. Downstairs, you’ll find three spacious bedrooms for up to 8 guests. The master features a king bed along with its own bathroom. The next two rooms share a full bathroom. One room has a queen bed, while the other has two sets of bunk beds to sleep four!
Head upstairs to find a living room and kitchen for you and your group to enjoy each others’ company. The second floor has a large TV, comfy sectional couch (that also functions as a queen sleeper sofa that sleeps 2), a half bath, farmhouse table that seats 10 and a kitchen that comes complete with everything you need for cooking and baking.
When the weather is nice, open the french doors and step outside onto the upper-level porch to enjoy the view and sea breeze. You can eat meals and drink coffee at the outdoor dining and seating areas. On the lower-level porch, you can hang out on the swing sofa with your favorite book.
The Emma Lou is located in the heart of Seaside, just blocks from several shops and eateries. A few places we love and recommend:
* Black Bear – for coffee and pastries
* Bud and Alley’s – for delicious seafood and 360 views of the beach and Seaside Square
* Food trucks in the heart of Seaside – for when the group has different cravings
* Marie Leoni Gifts & Jewelry – for unique souvenirs and jewelry
If you need groceries, there’s the gourmet Modica Market (0.4 mile away) or the Publix grocery store (7-minute drive)!
Please be aware it’s not uncommon for the Wi-Fi to be slow and weak at times. This is the nature of the Seaside area.
We hope you enjoy your time at this cottage as you explore the beautiful beach along 30A! The Emma Lou awaits your stay!

Our family’s first time in the 30A area, and we were so happy to be in the heart of it all in this beautiful property. The location was perfect for walking to everything in Seaside, and the home was beautifully decorated and had everything we needed to enjoy our downtime and relax when not exploring Seaside or the other nearby towns. We’ll definitely be back!

Great property in a great location. The owner was highly communicative before and during the stay. The house was clean and spacious, including the patios. It's only a few minutes walk to the square or the beach, and the street is quiet. Highly recommend, and we would stay here again.

Beautiful- clean and exactly what we needed. Close proximity to beach, shopping, fitness and tennis/pickleball. It was outstanding

We have vacationed as a family of five in Seaside every June for the last 9 years, but this was our first stay at this property. It proved to be a great option for us, as our kids are now older (11, 13, 16) and more independent. Location was perfect for us, less than 1 minute walk to the west side pool; a short jog to fitness center and tennis/pickleball courts; and, a few minute stroll to the Seaside town center and beach access. Marie was a very responsive host and quickly addressed a few items that we needed to ensure that our stay was comfortable. Check-in and check-out were no hassle. A large TV in the living area made family movies enjoyable. Beds were comfortable and clean. Both bathrooms are on the smaller side but we would be happy to stay here again.

Emma Lou is a precious house with plenty of room for a family of 8. Very clean, comfy beds, and well-stocked kitchen. This location is literally steps from the pool. Marie is one of the best hosts with whom I have dealt.

The Emma Lou is a great home in Seaside.
Larger families/groups may find it a little tight due to the smaller bedrooms and smaller two full baths. There is a half bath on the 2nd floor.
However, after acclimating, we were able to make our group of eight comfortable.
The host was very responsive and accommodating. The location is only a few minutes from the beach or downtown Seaside and the pool is within walking distance.
We highly recommend the EmmaLou!

This house is in a prime location. 2 (short) blocks to the beach and 3 doors from the swimming pool. The house was the perfect size with plenty of outside space for relaxing. We will be staying here again after the Christmas holidays!

This property had everything and was listed as advertised. It was the perfect location in Seaside close enough for the kids to ride bikes and for us to walk to the city center, but far enough away that it was quiet during the morning and evening. It was newly redecorated and had new furniture and home decor, it was gorgeous. The appliances were state of the art and we cooked dinner almost every night. The private beach access & the streets blocked at night gave us a sense of security for our teenagers. That’s was important because the cell phone service was terrible all up and down 30A. I loved the time we spent at Emma Lou and would highly recommend this perfect location for your family. We had 14-17yo’s and it was perfect, especially with individual access to master bedroom and the amazing porches to hang out on. Marie was a wonderful host. It also came with several bikes and that helped the kids get around easily to all the other locations they wanted to. I can’t say enough about this property and highly recommend it.

We had an amazing time at the Emma Lou with our family and friends. The home was easy walking distance from the beach and the main Seaside square, so we were able to enjoy both every day. The kitchen and living room were perfect for spending the evenings together playing board games and watching TV. We highly recommend this home!

For our first time staying in Seaside, the newly renovated Emma Lou set the bar high! We recently visited for a week with our 13-month-old son to celebrate our 5th wedding anniversary and Emma Lou truly felt like our home away from home stocked with everything we needed! Emma Lou is less than a 5 minute walk from the Odessa Street beach pavilion and the Seaside Central Square with lots of shops and restaurants. Some of our favorite amenities were the beach cruisers and helmets, beach/pool, towels, parking passes, the cappuccino maker, and our sweet and responsive host! We’re already dreaming of our next visit!

Location location location!
Beautifully furnished and charming Seaside home, the Emma Lou was perfect for us! About 3 short blocks both from the Odessa Pavilion (the closest beach) and the town square, it was super easy to get around, and the Emma Lou came with bikes for exploring, as well as lots of items for a great beach day! The upstairs wrap around porch with outdoor furnishings is so nice. Our point of contact for this VRBO, Marie, could not have been more helpful-she was outstanding! Only suggestion was that kitchen could use a 13x9x2 oven pan. Because of Covid-19, we actually did a lot of cooking at home, and the dining table was great for fitting everyone. You can rent chairs and umbrellas for the beach from a company called Cabana Man, the only company utilized by Seaside private beaches right now, and you can have groceries delivered from the local Publix with Instacart. We enjoyed paddle boarding with Adventure 30A and playing some golf at the Links at Sandestin, which is 9 holes and has a stretch right along the water. The sunsets and fine white sand are just gorgeous. We would love to come back!

Cute house and great location
This was my first time in Seaside and the Emma Lou did not disappoint. It is such a cute house and wonderfully located close to EVERYTHING! The beach is three blocks away and I rented some chairs through Cabanaman in the Odessa Pavilion and I was there in a less than 5 minute walk. You can walk to the square in less than 5 minutes. The house was adorable and had everything we needed. Marie is a joy to work with, and she was readily available to answer all the questions I had before and while I was there. I would highly recommend staying there!

Amazing house and location!
The Emma Lou was absolutely adorable. My husband and I took our five children and had an amazing vacation. The home owner was so helpful and delightful. The house was a very short walk from the beach and pool. The location couldn’t be better. The house decor was gorgeous and everything was so comfortable. The two wrap around decks were so much fun and the outdoor shower was great! We will be back for sure!

Best Rental Property in Seaside!
The Emma Lou was an absolute dream to stay in! The interior is stunning, the beds are super comfortable, and everything is so clean and new. The wrap-around porch is the perfect place to enjoy a hot cup of coffee in the morning:) The house is also incredibly close to the beach! We were able to walk/bike everywhere in a matter of minutes. If you want to enjoy Seaside to the fullest, The Emma Lou is a MUST! I can't wait to come back! Amazing property with incredible communication from the property manager. 5 Stars!!!
