How it all Began
In 1982, Robert and Daryl built two houses in Seaside before the master plan for the town was taken beyond the conceptual stage. While Robert was busy planning and designing, Daryl used her entrepreneural ingenuity to create a buzz in this remote new town to spur interest in buying real estate. She started simply with a Saturday market. Scouring the local area for straight-off-the-boat shrimp, fresh baked bread, home grown tomatoes and watermelons, Daryl displayed her wares on wood picnic tables under canvas umbrellas on the beachside of town.

the dream of a simple, beautiful life
…in a beach town where porch-sitting and strolling were activities as important as swimming and sunbathing.
- co-founder of Seaside, Daryl Davis


Other than Robert & Daryl Davis, bud the
dachshund
was probably the most common site around town in the early days.
Bud worked very hard during the inception of the town, accompanying Robert to work every day. Bud would ride in Robert's bicycle basket to the office. After that, it was a steady stream of meetings and site visits. Bud took his job of House Inspector very seriously, but those close to Bud knew he was secretly looking for leftover lunch scraps from the carpenters. Perhaps the dachshund has become the symbol for the New Urbanism movement because of Bud's personality and legendary status. Maybe everyone needs a dachshund of their own to help build a proper town!




To experience Seaside...
is more than just buying some t-shirts. Being a part of the Seaside family is a feeling. It's a camaraderie that you share something in common with a complete stranger. It's an experience of your best family memories. It's enjoying the Summer concerts in the Amphitheater and watching fireworks over the Gulf of Mexico. It is riding your bike for all of your daily errands.
It is a simple, beautiful life.
