How to have a Fantasia Vacation!
Fantasia Cottage is waking up from a major 4 month refresh (2023). Ready for you!
You may know that a Fantasia is a musical composition that is improvised and freeform (as your vacation should be!)

With that in mind a very few notes to enjoy your stay.
Best place to view the sunset? Trek to the 4th floor tower- after sunset the lights of the town coming on as night falls is magical.
Best breakfast spot? The spacious screened front porch- ideal for morning coffee, watching the show unfold around Tupelo Circle. (Nice outdoor room to send the kids or escape them too)
Shower? Definitely the outdoor private shower-Rain or shine, winter or summer it’s refreshing with a live oak canopy above
Biking? As the highest elevation in Seaside you can (almost) coast to Modica Market or the beach.
Artworks? By Libby Gee Cooper (mostly)
Bedrooms, Small! Master has a queen bed, bedroom 2 with a full bunk, bedroom 3 with a trundle. (Remember life can be simple)
That’s the essentials to get started. Hope you have a Fantasia stay!

We're off to Seaside for another visit. We head, of course, to Fantasia, our chosen cottage every time. We've tried other cottages, but this is our love. We arrive and the two younger boys head upstairs to decide who gets to sleep in the "pullout drawer" and who in the top bed of the trundle bed they love.The preteen wants her privacy and has been told that there is a new pullout sofa bed on third floor and goes up to check it out. We hear it's great and it's hers! We soon hear "let's go!" They jump on the three extra bikes we had delivered and--do they ride to the white sandy beach two minutes away ? No, they're off to Sundog Books! Their second trip is to the beach through the Tupelo pavilion---with boogie boards. The rest of us admire lovely updates to our favorite place. We note the newly painted white walls throughout the house, also pretty rattan chairs in the family room and around the dining table. The effect is a light, airy look with sunlight streaming in through the tall windows that surround this room. ---New beach lighting, as well. First night is special. After showering off sand (in preferred outdoor shower under the trees) we have dinner, fixed in the lovely aqua tiled kitchen. After, we climb to the crow's nest to watch the sun set. Looking out to the bluegreen gulf, we feel the magic of this house. Games, then grandparents in queen room, parents in double bed bunks (lots of room). We quiet kids for early wakeup. Boogie boards at ready on porch.

We fell in love with the house and the location was perfect-close to ocean and restaurants. It was absolutely adorable! Two downfalls - beds and bedrooms were small but we knew that from other reviews and I regret paying the extra $500+ for the pool and gym. We never used any of the facilities. We rented chairs and umbrellas-worth every penny... We enjoyed the beautiful view-had our coffee on the deck on the 3rd floor every morning. We enjoyed riding bikes everywhere-however on the last night one of our bikes was stolen-so that was a bummer. Overall-we would come back to this area again

I wish I could write more than 1500 characters. To put a long story short, there was construction from day one until the last day of my stay. Our cars were absolutely filthy and were even blocked in by the workers. Workers were sawing concrete from 6am until 6pm. It was incredibly loud and the whole area was filthy with dust. The porch was completely unusable. When I wrote the host, I didn't even receive an apology, just that they can't control construction. I was not even notified about the construction in the direct area. I find the nearest car wash is 20+ min away and tell the host this, didn't receive a reply. Thankfully my mom found water hose in the back of the closet, so we had to wash our own car on vacation. We got there in the evening and when my dad laid down in bed there was a purple oily substance all over his sheets. It was too late to wash so he had to sleep on a towel. There are no extra sheets available. We had to kill a few roaches. You can hear every little step in the house, it's incredibly noisy. I had an amazing time with my family, and this location is perfect, but I would not stay in this house again or recommend it.

The history of Seaside is so interesting. Tupelo St. was the first neighborhood. Gazebo in front of the house was in The Truman Show. The house is beautiful. We really enjoyed sitting on the porch and watching people walking by.

Good house. Excellent location. Front porch great. Top porch was great. Only criticisms: bedrooms were small, a little cramped, no king bed. Furnishings showed some wear, age. Exterior trim needed a little paint. Televisions were small. Overal it was good. Would probably stay there again.

Fantastic stay at Fantasia

The location is excellant, close walk to the beach and town. The third-floor lookout on the house is awesome. We loved having our morning coffee up there. The house was clean when we arrived but it is well-loved and definitely needs some updates.
