Perfect Girls’ Trip Location
This cottage is JUST like the photos! You literally step out the front door, off the ground level porch and you’re in the sand. The private beach area in front of the complex was wonderful as were the provided beach chairs to take down to the water. We had everything we needed. Booking process was smooth and the owner was very quick to respond from booking thru checkout. Highly recommend!

We stayed for a week and had a great time! Taking everything to the beach is normally such a hassle but that wasn’t the case here. I think that was my favorite part! Plus, the beautiful views!

Amazing and restful stay
Exceeded my expectations. It had everything you need in the kitchen, comfortable queen size bed, beach towels and washer and dryer. Check-in, communication, cleanliness were perfect. The beautiful sandy beach with afternoon sunsets were just steps away from the cottage.

Great place
We enjoyed staying at the cottage as it had very easy access to the beach. In the morning, I could sit on the lounge chair and have my coffee with my feet in the sand!. It was easy to get into and out of as the traffic light was a great landmark. The facility was small, compact with everything needed to make a great stay.

Best location ever!
You can't beat the location of this unit. The views are completely amazing. It was clean and had everything you could need for an amazing vacation from beach chairs and umbrellas to a stocked kitchen ( if you're one of those crazy people that cook on vacation). Cheking in is amazingly simple. This is the second time we've stayed there and can't wait to go back!

Terrific location and a unique experience. The first thing you will notice are the views of the Gulf from your living room and kitchen. It is just outside your door. And the warm water and white sand beaches are right in front of you. The unit is clean and has everything you need for a beach getaway (comfy bed, full kitchen, drive up carport right outside). Great communication with owner and easy checkin. Neighbors were close by but quiet and seemed friendly.

Step right out to the beach!
Cute cottage right on the beach-loved stepping right out the back door onto the sand back yard! Very clean, lots of amenities provided from beach chairs, sand toys, fully stocked kitchen and plenty of ice in the freezer ready to go. The bed was soft and comfortable and the neighborhood was pretty quiet. Convenience store located right across the street for any necessities. Thank you for the stay!!

Amazing location
This has to be the closest we’ve ever been to the gulf. You can stand in the kitchen looking at the water and have your feet in the ocean in a matter of seconds. The cottage was clean and cozy and more than enough beach supplies provided. Neighbors were all very nice. Linda was very nice and accommodating, very easy to communicate with. We made so many amazing family memories and would definitely stay here again!

Welcome to the beach
Old time Florida beach time with all the modern luxury. Open the windows and listen for the lull of the sea. Backyard is the beach, private loungers all set and ready to lay in the sun! Steps over the dune and you are there. Sunsets that leave you humbled and shells along the shore, water clear and beautiful. Watch for the dolphins to pass by. Only wish we could live there. What a life. So for just our one week, thank you, Linda, for sharing your slice of paradise.

Realtor, mother of four, beach LOVER!

Why they chose this property

I wanted a place nestled in the sand—right on the beach—overlooking the sparkling Gulf of Mexico. I did NOT want a traditional high rise condo with elevators and security guards and rules and regulations. I also wanted that immersed in nature feel and not a touristy vibe, yet I didn’t want to be far from restaurants, and fun things to do.
I looked for just the right property for EIGHT years! But boy was it worth the wait!
I wanted a ground floor beachfront property to bring my kids and enjoy the beach life without the hassle of schlepping everyone and all the gear into the car and finding a place to park! lol
My family, friends, and guests from around the world have fond memories of our time here--I still pinch myself that I am fortunate enough to own this little slice of PARADISE!

What makes this property unique

PRIVATE BEACH AREA WITH LOUNGE CHAIRS
