About this property

Gulf Front with Private Pool, Sleeps 21, Amazing Decks, Free Beach Setup!

There are so many gulf views to take in at “Paradise Cottage Too,” you won’t believe. From the home’s expansive decks, through its many windows, even at its stunning poolside, each guest will imbibe a much needed and healthy dosage of Vitamin Sea.
This quiet Gulf-front cottage sits in an amazingly private location in the heart of Seagrove. With 4 bedrooms, a loft equipped with twin beds, and a lower level bunkroom, the home spans 3 floors. As you walk through, you will not believe how many windows offer vistas of the water! The private beach walk and sitting gazebo offer places to sip coffee, wine, or just to have that long awaited conversation with someone close.

For those seeking the simplicity—and the heart—of Old Florida, this home offers so much. Yet it does NOT sacrifice in the department of modern conveniences. The home includes chic and playful décor, and whimsical spaces. Outdoor decks and living seem to link together and never end, but eventually do lead to everyone’s favorite spot: the powder white sand.

The cottage pool is one to remember—a paradise all its own—with Gulf views and beautiful groves of greenery surrounding. You will experience your own private slice of Florida just steps away from the beach, and all the while, Seagrove and Seaside restaurants, galleries and shops are practically at your fingertips.

On the 1st floor, there is a convenient walk-out access to the pool, refreshing outdoor shower, and a private beach walkway beckoning you to explore the tranquil shores.

On the 2nd floor, there is a King master bedroom with a daybed and twin trundle, along with a private bathroom. Additionally, there is a King bedroom with a shared full bathroom, and a Queen bedroom with shared full bathroom and Gulf views. The living area seamlessly blends with a spacious kitchen, offering dining for up to 14 guests indoors, with additional seating available outside on charming picnic tables.

On the 3rd floor, there is a Queen bedroom with a shared bathroom, a loft area with 2 twin beds, and a spacious full bathroom.

Amazing location! Right on the water!
Our family had a blast at this place. It’s our third trip down to the general area and this house was by far the best! The kids ran down to play on the beach while I drank coffee on the porch and watched them. Crab hunting, lunch, mid-afternoon nap, everything was easy because of the location of this house-plus it had everything we needed and wasn’t so fancy I was afraid our kids would break something before we could leave. It checked all our boxes. Thanks!

Beautiful Place
My group of 17 ladies loved this place. The beach view is spectacular. Even though the neighbors are very close, its very private. The palm trees and landscaping around the pool keep you from seeing any neighbors. The back porch is big and nice. We plan to rent again. The outdoor private shower is not useable, but the other rinse off stations are. The pool is very nice. We had no issues with pests as was mentioned in earlier reviews.

Rat Infested Cottage Too
Lines of communication were horrific. Benchmark was going to send an inspector first thing Monday morning. After waiting 2+ hours with no inspector, we found another place to rent and told Tiffany that we were vacating this property for health hazards and filthiness, and that we were going to dispute all charges. We got a text message from Benchmark on Monday afternoon that they were going to send Florida Pest control over and Benchmark would come over after the house was treated by pest control....and they would change the sheets for us. We got another text message that Florida Pest control came over to the cottage THURSDAY and set some traps, and if any of the traps went off, FL Pest would come and remove them....3 days after we vacated the cottage. Thursday afternoon, Benchmark texted us and said finding alternate accomodations was a reasonable decision. Until major upgrades and rat problems are addressed, this rental should be shut down. Location was terrific, but the house is in extreme disrepair. Also, this house was definitely not cleaned before we arrived. I only got text messages from Benchmark, no verbal communication at all. If I had been in there position, I would've shown my face and apologized for the extreme trauma caused to my family. If I could give Benchmark a rating of negative stars, they deserve it.

A guest from Whitesburg, Ga

Disappointed
Rating Details: The property manager was adequately helpful. The vacation rental was very dirty. I was very happy with the location. I was very dissatisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: This property is sorely neglected and the property managers appear to be stretched too thin to fix problems that come up promptly.
