It’s the perfect, charming beach town with white sand beaches and turquoise waters. Pastel houses with white picket fences are tucked away on tree lined streets with families riding their bikes to the nearby ice cream shop. Quaint restaurants line the streets along with food trucks, clothing stores, art galleries, ceramic shops and more, all within walking distance. Perfect for friends’ getaways or family vacations.

We spent our afternoons walking through town, stopping for shaved ice (the toasted coconut was my fave!), doing some shopping, and of course laying on the beach.
Great views, beautiful kitchen, cozy living space – it felt like home. The perfect place to stay if you’re traveling with a group of friends or a large family. Honestly, a part of me wished it was MY home. Sitting on the porch you could hear the sound of ocean. I imagined what life would be like cooking in that kitchen and blogging from the porch. Who knows, maybe one day!

It must be a wonderful trip, the place looks marvelous.
Beautiful place and vacation spot – One I dream of. I have never been to Florida.
Wow, these pictures are unbelievable! This looks like such a wonderful place to visit! Thanks so much for the great review and recommendations…looks like Florida needs to be on my bucket list now.
I just come to you for your amazing recipes…now an amazing getaway?!? Thanks for all you do!!!
Gina, I was so envious when I saw your trip pics on instagram!! I grew up in Panama City Beach, not far from Seaside, and spent a lot of time escaping the chaos in my town to Seaside's serene beaches. The shrimp at Bud and Alley's were a family favorite. When I was in college, my friends and I loved to trek to the Red Bar just down the road. I haven't been back in about 10 years. Sure would be fun to take a trip down memory lane! : ) ps – love your recipes! We eat them almost every night!
This would be an amazing getaway for my family!
Thanks for the amazing chance (chances) to win!
I had no problem at all, and I'm really dumb at all this! Thanks so so much for your recipes, and wow this vaca looks like a blast…
I would relax and take in the beautiful water!
Looks like a fabulous place to spend a little vacation and celebrate our 30th wedding anniversary!

Love Skinnytaste Recipes! Thanks for the opportunity to win this lovely vacation getaway. 🙂
Looks like a beautiful place, I choose Skinnytaste recipes every night!!
Thank you! 🙂
Since the rules don't say there are location restrictions, does that mean that us Canadians can enter too?
Yes, because it does not cover airfare, just the cottage rental.
Great!! Thanks so much Gina!! I'm really looking forward to your cookbook.
Your trip looked amazing! Thanks for the chance to win!
Ok.. just want to be sure, the widget you are talking about is the "Cliqueme" one at the bottom right of my screen?
No, it says log in with facebook or log in with email. It's a big box right below "how to enter".
I have a question. Will the winner's cottage be the same as the one you stayed in, Gina?
It's a smaller version of our cottage, but they are all beautiful.
I cook from your website all the time and every thing is a hit with my two girls especially. WOuld love to win this trip. i love SKINNY TASTE
I would love to win this!!!!!
I was able to enter using Chrome browser. Thanks for the opportunity to win. You're pretty amazing! I tell everyone about your site.
Great and Thank you Ashley!!

So much fun spending the weekend in the sand with you Gina and talking up cookbooks, blogs and fun. XO
What an awesome place and thank you for the opportunity to win a mini vacation. This would mean so much to me. My son and grandson moved to Walton County last year and I haven't been able to see my grandson for 6 years. What a blessing it would be to win this gift!
Would love to enter but don't have those. And love your blog.

We were just in Seaside for the day last week. Had lunch at the Great Southern Cafe right in the center of town. The BEST shrimp and grits I have ever had!
You all look so refreshed! I've never been to Seaside, but it looks exquisitely charming!
SOOO charming, very different than other parts of Florida I've been to, I loved it!
Thanks for the chance to win. I had no trouble entering. Good luck to everyone.

No promo widget, too bad for me I guess
I couldn't see the link with internet explorer either. Had to use google chrome and was able to enter.
I am glad you were able to see it with Chrome. Seems IE always has some type of issue!
This vacation looks too good to be true. You mentioned to "log in" but are you referring to just make a comment?
No comments don't count, there is a form at the bottom of the post where you enter your email. If you don't see it, try using a different web browser, seems IE doesn't work.
I finally tried Firefox and it worked!!
Great!!
Beautiful place with my husband's health issues, working full-time and running kids. This would be a very welcomed break for us. I'd love to register – link?
Love the decor in the Sea-Ya rental! Love the grey coffee table.
Ditto here! Would love to register but am not willing to download more software to my PC.
looks like you had a beautiful vacation; I would love to be entered in this contest!
What an aweseome giveaway!
Strange, I see the promo simple widget above, I am surprised some of you don't see it. I am on Firefox, so if you are using Internet Explorer, try switching to Firefox for this! It's the only way to enter.
same as the others, no place to log in or enter. would love to do so.

Sounds exciting! Please add the link so we can enter!
I had a hard time Entering using Internet Explorer, but I switched to Mozilla Firefox and entered no problems!! Good luck everyone 🙂
