Why is Seaside so Special?

- first name, last name
Seaside is the icon of 30A — the birthplace of New Urbanism and a community that put this stretch of Florida on the map. With its pastel-colored cottages, white picket fences, and perfectly planned streets, Seaside feels like it was designed for postcards — which it was (it even starred in The Truman Show).
The magic of Seaside lies in its walkability and atmosphere. Families can bike or stroll to boutique shops, art galleries, and an open-air amphitheater that hosts weekly events. Dining ranges from food trucks to fine dining, all within steps of the beach. For guests, it’s a complete vacation village where cars are optional.
For owners and investors, Seaside represents prestige and consistent demand. Properties here command some of the highest rental rates on 30A thanks to its reputation, architecture, and unmatched walkable lifestyle. It’s the kind of community where people don’t just rent a house — they buy into a story and identity.
If Rosemary Beach is elegance, Seaside is iconic charm. It remains one of the most photographed, sought-after, and reliably performing communities on the coast.
