Wonderful beach cottage

This is a nicely kept, older cottage with a short walk to the beach in a quiet, safe neighborhood. The latter rates very high for me when visiting new places. I love the laid-back atmosphere with comfortable outdoor seating: screened porch in front and patio with grill out back. It truly felt like home away from home. The hosts are very responsive, kind and gracious. Thank you for a lovely experience for our Spring Break week!

This cute single family home is quiet and immaculately clean. It is only a 2-3 minute walk to the beautiful emerald coast water and great white sand beach. There is shopping close by as well as great restaurants.

Great Tarpon Cottage

What a fun trip. The house was just perfect. Built in 1957 and loaded with charm. It is convenient to everything...shopping, restaurants, even medical care :-) The beach and access are just a few steps away. We will definitely visit this location again. Molly and Steve were awesome to work with and provided so many recommendations for local establishments.
