Green Gables

472 FOREST STREET

Welcome to Green Gables

Tucked along picturesque Forest Street, Green Gables is a classic Seaside, Florida cottage offering charm, privacy, and a highly walkable location. Just a short stroll from Seaside Avenue, the family park, and the community pool—and only a 5-minute walk to beach access and the Seaside Amphitheater—this inviting retreat places more than 35 shops and restaurants right outside your door.

A Private Cottage Setting Surrounded by Nature

Guests arrive via a private parking area and are welcomed by the cottage’s cheerful green exterior, framed by mature trees and lush landscaping that create a peaceful, secluded feel. A private entrance leads to a furnished screened porch, thoughtfully designed with lounge seating for two, dual-facing benches, and a ceiling fan. Positioned between shaded front and back yards, this porch is the perfect place to enjoy morning coffee or unwind after a sun-filled day at the beach.

The backyard continues the serene atmosphere with towering trees, an outdoor shower, and a walkway that connects the first-level bedroom to the footpath behind the home.

First-Floor Bedroom and Bath

Inside on the first level, the queen bedroom is located just off the entry and features a cozy window seat, flat-screen TV, ample storage, and double doors opening directly to the backyard. A nearby full bathroom includes a single vanity and walk-in shower, offering convenience and comfort for guests.

Open-Concept Living on the Second Floor

Upstairs, the bright and airy second level showcases high ceilings and an inviting living area with comfortable seating and a flat-screen TV. Just off the living space, a private Juliette balcony overlooks the backyard, adding natural light and fresh air to the space.

The adjacent dining area seats three and flows into a fully equipped kitchen featuring a four-burner electric stove and oven, microwave, dishwasher, coffee maker, toaster, and under-counter refrigerator—perfect for preparing meals after a day exploring Seaside. An additional Juliette balcony off the kitchen looks out onto quiet Forest Street, completing the home’s charming coastal feel.
