Lovely house!

Everything about this house was perfect for our family of 6 adults. Short walk to the beach, with a canopy, chairs, and beach wagon all available for our use. The house is beautifully decorated, and only 2 stories, so not so many stairs! The hosts responded quickly to my questions, and were very nice to communicate with. Will definitely return to this rental again!

Nice, but not for snowbirds

The location near the beaches was great. However, when we arrived, we were very disappointed that the living space was not on the first floor. Neither property descriptions, nor the website photos, gave any indication it was otherwise. This meant going up and down stairs many times a day. That should be fine for those staying a few days or a week, but we're too old for that. Sadly, we booked three months and it literally was so painful that we left three weeks early. It is NOT first floor living and, yes, we should have asked. My bad.In addition to misjudging the layout, the rental unit had many issues from minor ones we fixed ourselves all the way up to what I think are code violations (I was a building inspector before retiring). If I list them here, it will sound like I am a complainer, so I won't do that. But, I did give the list to the property manager to deal with as they see fit. You probably want an example issue for context? In the bunk bed room, the folding closet door wouldn't stay in the track and it fell out/off completely each time we used it. Another? We tried the emergency contact number and it was disconnected.We enjoyed the area immensely. We also enjoyed visiting with neighboring renters and we found out not all units are configured like this one. So, we will come back to Santa Rosa Beach in the future. Just not this particular unit.

Return to 30A

We have stayed in Santa Rosa Beach area twice before this visit but Victoria and Atef’s home in the Old Florida Cottages neighborhood was by far our best accommodations. The 3 bedroom , 3 bathroom home was recently beautifully remodeled! The location was great , directly across the street from the heated pool which we enjoyed often , and a 4-5 minute walk to the beach, short walk to several restaurant and shop options. Victoria and Atef treated us extremely well , dropping off beach toys for our grandkids visits , supplying chairs and a beach wagon , stopping by promptly to take down a wasp nest , supplying restaurant options . They also allowed us to extend our 5 week stay by an additional 2 days , charging us for only 1 extra day , giving us 1 day free. We had a wonderful visit and plan to return and are Already looking into rebooking this same home in 2025!

Perfect!

We stayed Thurs - Mon with 4 adults and 4 kids. The house had the perfect space for everyone to sleep, relax and eat together. Kitchen was stocked with basics, bathrooms had plenty of towels. King bed is firm, queen bed is softer and the pillows were plentiful and dreamy. The pool is across the community drive way a few steps from the house, although we could hear the kids we could not see them due to trees. We rented a golf cart from the place on the corner and had no problems finding a spot on the beach for the day as long as we set up early.

Return trip

This was our 3rd time staying at Emerald Jewel and possibly the best. Proximity to the beach and ice cream is great. The house is very well stocked with kitchen appliances/utensils and storage containers - something many rentals seem to be lacking these days. We were provided with plenty of trash bags, paper towels, and dishwashing detergent. The furniture is all comfortable - it was easy to lounge around after a day on the beach. We were also able to work/take zoom calls from the house. We will be back!

Upset by disrespectful communication after check out

We are a family of seven adults and have stayed in the Old Florida Cottages a total of 4 times over the years. We love this area! We have never had a problem with the property manager or received a complaint from VRBO or any other vacation rental. About 2 hrs after checking out today we received a rude text communication from Victoria the property manager. When I asked her to please explain the problem I was only answered with more rude and inconsiderate communication. I called to speak with her in person since we sincerely tried to meet the expectations outlined in the checkout instructions. We took out the kitchen trash, cleaned some of our used towels, filled and started the dishwasher and checked out on time. We left the place ready for a basic cleaning as we do all of our vacation rentals. I was hoping to get some specific information so that we might understand the problem. So far Victoria’s claims have not been substantiated by any constructive communication or evidence. We saw the cleaning folks arrive at 10 and the scathing text messages began at noon. We are offended by the lack of respectful communication and truly hope you will find a well suited property manager for this beautiful home.
