Designed by renowned architect and Seaside Prize recipient Walter Chatham, Seaside's historic Forsythe House integrates both modern and industrial elements, combined with unique artistic touches created by the original owners Bill and Mary Florence Forsythe as well as other local artists. The Forsythe House was the first townhome built in Ruskin Place Artists Colony – Seaside’s enclave of artists workshops, galleries and residences located immediately north of Seaside Central Square. Through the years, the Forsythe House has been featured in a variety of architectural publications and is sure to be a one-of-a-kind vacation for family and friends. Much like the shops of Ruskin Place, Forsythe House offers a little variety for everyone. Enjoy spectacular sunsets from the spacious rooftop terrace boasting one of the best vantage points in Seaside. With a covered sitting area and sunrise chairs to the east, and a rooftop dining table and sunset chairs to the west, you’ll have many options to take in the 360 degree views of the Gulf, rooftop towers and surrounding Seaside community.
Ruskin Park is an outdoor extension of your downstairs living area to the front of the home, and the private outdoor courtyard to the back is a great spot for enjoying lunch and dinner. The chef in the family will enjoy preparing meals in the open two story kitchen which includes a Traulsen refrigerator, Garland gas stove, concrete countertops, Breville appliances, Calphalon cookware, sous vide cooker and even a paella pan for those who want to take advantage of the local seafood. While dining, enjoy the music ambiance provided by the Voksun turntable and house collection of vintage jazz, blues and rock LPs. Stairs seem to suspend from the walls with open steps and cable rails as you ascend to the upper floor bedrooms and roof deck.

Summary: We love to make an annual pilgrimage to Seaside for the 30A Songwriters Festival. Sandpiper Rentals is the property management company that tends to manage the properties we've rented over the past 8-9 years, and they are just great. This property was awesome and right in the thick of everything we wanted to do and every place we wanted to visit.

Summary: Home is conveniently located within Seaside. Easy stroll to public square, restaurants, shops, pools, fitness and beach. Plenty of space for our group of 6.

Summary: My husband and I loved the Forsythe House. It’s very unique and not your typical beach rental. The space has a very cool vibe and we loved the views from the roof, over the park and the record player was also a great touch. There is lots of glass throughout so we didn’t love the fish bowl effect especially in the evening where people passing by can see everything (no curtains on the first floor). Seeing out to the view over the park was lovely. But people seeing right back in wasn’t my favorite. (I know, you can’t have it both ways). We also loved that it was pet friendly. No complaints about this house at all .. we’ve already recommended it to some friends. However, if you have small kids or a small dog, I wouldn’t recommend it. The “floating stairs” in the house are aesthetically cool, but not safe for kids or dogs in my opinion. They aren’t just open at the riser, but they don’t have an attached railing with gaps of several inches between the tread and the wires they used for the railing. We had to carry our dog up and down. Just a small price to pay to reach the beautifully decorated bedrooms and amazing roof top deck. The roof top is another stellar feature and we enjoyed several sunsets up there but had to hold our dog in our lap or keep him on a short leash because the railings are very open. The location on Ruskin Square is stunning and we will 100% stay here again if we aren’t traveling with pets. Management was great and we really loved the location and the vibe.

Summary: This property is the worst so far that I have rented in Seaside. The primary bedroom has no doors, only curtains, so there is zero privacy and it’s located above the kitchen, which makes it loud. The cabinets are wonky, the drawers sometimes refuse to shut, the patio needs re-decking, the outdoor shower does not work, the furniture is uncomfortable down to every last chair, and the TVs are not smart. The location is great but I would not rent this particular property again. I definitely did not get my money’s worth this trip.

Summary: This property on Ruskin Park was the perfect location for our visit. The place was well equipped and comfortable. It is as advertised, but realize that while the stairs are beautifully designed and the features of the home are unique, this how would not be appropriate for anyone who cannot manage them, inclusing getting your bags to the bedrooms. The rooftop and outdoor spaces, particularly on the park side, provide a wonderful place to relax and interact. I will definitely stay here again on a return trip to Seaside.

Summary: Very cool decor and wonderful location behind main shopping area. The only downside is you can’t rent a golf cart in that area - and we wanted one. So we would have rented nearby in Watercooler and rented a cart. But not homeowner’s fault. The two bikes included were a nice touch.

Summary: We loved this stay! Such a fun place for art lovers and the record player and collection inspired us to start our own. Small kids and small pets would not be good with the stairs. We adored Ruskin Park’s charm and the Forsythe house was so much fun!
