Seaside Key West Residences
Welcome to Seaside Residences
Seaside Residences is a gated residential townhome community located on Seaside North Court and Seaside South Court on the eastern side of Key West. Developed in 2005, the community is known for its spacious multi-level residences, private garages, private elevators in many homes, generous outdoor living spaces, and views of the Atlantic Ocean, Cow Key Channel, and surrounding salt ponds.
Unlike a traditional condominium building, Seaside Residences offers the space and privacy of townhome living combined with the convenience of an HOA-maintained community. Residences range from two-bedroom homes to larger four-bedroom floor plans, making Seaside especially appealing to buyers who want more living space than is typically available in a Key West condominium.

The location is particularly appealing to buyers who want easy access to Key West while preferring a quieter residential environment away from the activity of downtown.

Seaside Residences is governed by a homeowners association, and rentals are permitted with restrictions.
Current community guidelines include:
Minimum rental period of 30 days.
Weekly and nightly vacation rentals are not permitted.
Monthly and longer-term rentals are permitted subject to HOA requirements.
Owners and tenants must comply with the community's governing documents and Rules and Regulations.
Owners must also comply with applicable City of Key West rental regulations.
Because association rules may be amended over time, buyers should review the current HOA documents during their due diligence period.

No.
Seaside Residences is not a transient vacation rental community. Weekly and nightly rentals are not permitted.
However, the 30-day minimum rental period gives owners the ability to offer monthly rentals, making Seaside attractive to seasonal visitors as well as tenants seeking longer stays in Key West.
This flexibility can be particularly appealing to owners who plan to use their residence personally for part of the year while renting it during other periods.
-
Seaside Residences is an excellent choice for buyers seeking:
Full-time residence
Seasonal home
30-day monthly rental investment
Long-term rental investment
Gated community lifestyle
Larger Key West residence with private garage
The combination of spacious floor plans, private garages, community amenities, water views, and 30-day rental flexibility gives Seaside a unique position within the Key West residential market.
-
Before purchasing at Seaside Residences, buyers should review:
Current HOA governing documents
HOA financial statements and reserve funding
Rental restrictions
Insurance responsibilities
Maintenance responsibilities
Pet policies
Parking and garage regulations
Architectural and exterior modification requirements
Any current or planned capital improvement projects
Because Seaside residences are larger and more structurally complex than many traditional Key West condominiums, buyers should also understand exactly which portions of the property are maintained or insured by the homeowner and which are covered by the association.

Seaside Residences is one of those Key West communities that buyers sometimes overlook (and I think that's a mistake). If you want space, privacy, a garage, great amenities, and a quieter setting, Seaside offers a combination that's very difficult to duplicate elsewhere on the island.
The residences feel much more like homes than traditional condos, with multi-level living, large floor plans, balconies, private garages, and elevators in many of the properties. Some also have wonderful views of the Atlantic, Cow Key Channel, or the surrounding salt ponds.
I particularly like Seaside for buyers who want a second home they can truly settle into rather than simply a small vacation property. The 30-day rental minimum also provides useful flexibility: owners can enjoy their home themselves, take advantage of Key West's popular monthly seasonal rental market when they're away, or pursue longer-term rental income.
For buyers who don't need to be in the middle of Old Town and value space, privacy, amenities, and newer construction, Seaside Residences deserves a serious look.
