About this property

The Good Life - 85+ Top Ratings, Big Pool, Porch, 5 Min Walk to Beach, 4 Bikes

Welcome to The Good Life Cottage in Seacrest Beach!

We’re thrilled to share that Travel + Leisure Magazine recently announced that VRBO named scenic 30A where the cottage is located the “Best U.S. Beach Town” for 2025, thanks to its turquoise waters, sugar-white sand, and charming coastal communities. Your beach getaway starts here!

Why Guests Love The Good Life Cottage

Location, Location, Location! The Good Life is tucked away in The Cottages at Camp Creek, a charming coastal community filled with classic tin roofs, wide front porches, and shady sand oaks and palmettos. Step outside and you’ll find the Timpoochee Trail—a 17-mile paved path perfect for biking, walking, or jogging—just across the street. And when it’s time for dining, shopping, or family fun, you’ll love the convenience of having so many great options, many within a mile of the cottage.

Steps to fun: Less than a 1-minute walk to the big (7500 square feet) community pool and just a 5-minute stroll to our private deeded beach access that leads to a Blue Wave Certified Beach (which means it is recognized for its cleanliness, responsible management, and commitment to protecting human health and the environment), known for dunes, white sand, and emerald water where you can relax and set up your beach gear. No need to worry about waiting for shuttles or looking for parking spaces when you're heading to the beach.

Family-friendly comfort: Spacious 3-bedroom, 2-bath, single-level freshly renovated cottage with old Florida charm and modern conveniences comfortably fits up to 7 people. Our guests appreciate that our small gem of a community, as well as the deeded beach access, stay peaceful even during peak seasons. A lovely bonus: The Good Life cottage is one of the closest to the beach when you want to slip away for your sunrise walks and sunset strolls.


Relax & Recharge

Unwind on the large covered and furnished front porch, perfect for dining al fresco, sipping morning coffee, or playing games on a rainy afternoon. Inside, enjoy the freshly renovated living space with hardwood floors, comfy seating, and a large smart TV for streaming.

The modern kitchen is fully stocked with stainless steel appliances, quartz countertops, plenty of dishware, glassware, and cookware, and everything from a crockpot to a waffle maker—so whether you’re cooking for two or twelve, you’ll have what you need.

Each bedroom is designed for comfort with fresh quilts, blackout curtains for a good night's sleep (or afternoon nap), and streaming TVs. For your peace of mind, we use a professional laundry service to ensure that linens are laundered according to professional-grade, CDC-approved standards. The bed linen program aims to provide guests with a consistently clean and sanitary bedding experience.

The three bedrooms and bathrooms are laid out as follows:

Bedroom with king bed and private full bath
Bedroom with queen bed + twin bed
Bedroom with two twin beds (that you can put together to convert to king)
Second full bath next to the queen and twin bedrooms

Thoughtful Touches

We’ve added details that make your vacation easier—plenty of wall hooks and renovated closets with ample storage space for keeping everything organized, hampers in every bedroom, full-size washer and dryer, puzzles, books, games, beach chairs, beach toys, and even a private gas grill. Of course, free wireless is included.

Top-rated experience:

As you'll see from the reviews, it's easy to get in touch with us if you have any questions or need anything - and guests appreciate that we respond quickly. Our goal is to help families and friends relax and make memories to last a lifetime. Here are a few of our favorite reviews:

“The pressing order of each day was whether to go to the pool or beach before lunch. We tossed our laptops in the closet the moment we unpacked and never looked back! Much more fun to do puzzles and relax on the porch. We’ll definitely return and tell our friends.”

"This was the perfect location for our family! It was so easy to hop between the house, beach and pool. House had great beach toys, lots of books and puzzles. Would definitely recommend this spot to families with young children. Owner and property management company were super responsive and communicative."

"Perfect cottage. Our group of 7, including two seniors & three children, loved this cottage. It is a charming cottage with the perfect layout and had everything we needed. We loved the location - it is steps away from a very nice pool. We also loved sitting on the porch with coffee every morning and returning from the beach to the porch to hose off our things and unwind there. The kids loved the trees out back and watching squirrels and “exploring”. The walk to the beach was literally a few easy minutes walk, and we loved that we could easily bike or walk to Alys and Rosemary! Honestly, we can’t find a negative thing to say about our experience and we are so glad to have found this place for future trips."

The perfect 30a getaway!

We had such a great experience at this property! The house was clean and had everything we could think of needing for our trip. The back porch was a dreamy spot to relax, especially on rainy days. The pool was within steps of our back porch, but still felt secluded. Plenty of beach toys, beach chairs, kids activities, and books. A short 5 minute walk to the beach put the icing on the cake. Private beach was beautiful and there was plenty of room for everyone. If we come back to the area, this will definitely be a repeat stay for my family. Thanks for caring about all of the details and making our stay a memorable one.

The Good Life lived up to its name

I just got home from a week of vacationing in this beautiful cottage. My husband and I took our adult kids and their friends for the week. There were 7 of us and there was plenty of room. The house is exactly as listed. The beds were very comfortable and I'm pretty particular when it comes to that. The kitchen is well stocked and had everything we needed. We cooked several meals and had all of the pots, pans, etc that we needed. The only thing we were missing was washclothes and dish clothes. There were none in the hoise at all. In addition, more towels woild have been nice. This is more of a suggestion than a complaint though. We had a great week! I would highly recommend this rental!

Great family cottage

We had a great stay - Paula was warm and communicative, and answered all my questions immediately. The cottage was exactly what I was looking for - well-stocked, ideally located, super short walk to the beach. I love the shady walkway and porch where we read and ate breakfast outside. The pool was perfect for the afternoons, and the community is quiet and feels private. Great place - we'll come back!

We loved staying at Paula’s “The Good Life” Cottage!

Paula’s place was perfect for our family vacation! Super convenient to the beach and surrounding areas. Very clean place, and comfortable beds! It is noted in the listing that they will provide a 24-hour worth of necessities, but might be worth packing an extra roll of toilet paper or two, a couple more dishwasher tablets, & some laundry detergent if you plan on doing laundry while there. Paula happened to be staying next door in their other cottage, Key Lime, while we were there and was very gracious to drop off some hand and dish soap that had been suggested to have by their last guest. Overall a wonderful stay - we’ll be back!

Fantastic Property

Often you arrive at a beach house and are underwhelmed in comparison to its listing. However - with this listing, it was exactly as described and probably better. So many extra touches - puzzles, games, dvds, even plastic wine glasses to go poolside. Thoroughly enjoyed our time here and look forward to returning!

Enjoyable Multi Generation Escape!

This sweet place was exactly as represented! Our party of five included two grandmas, mom and dad and our 12 year old son. The kitchen was super functional for simple dinners, breakfasts and wine and cheese! The beach toys, chairs, boogie boards and bags made the short walk to the beach easy and enjoyable. The communication with the host was professional, friendly and prompt. We would absolutely stay again!

Peaceful Spring Break

Just got back from an incredible stay - somehow, the home was even better than the pictures! The space itself is quite large and offers abundant places to sit back and enjoy a book. We really appreciated the high quality furnishings; the home truly felt like a coastal escape out of a magazine. We also enjoyed the spacious porch and large community pool. The beach was easy to access and only a 5 minute walk. Additionally, we appreciated the beach chairs, as well as the board games for a rainy day activity. Paula and Southern Vacation rentals made the stay clean and perfect, seriously couldn’t ask for more. If you have the chance to book this place, do it!

Family fun vacation

This Cottage was beautiful. Well stocked and ready for a family. Paula put thought into all details. We especially appreciated all the “extras” like the games, puzzles, and all the beach toys and chairs. It was nice to not have to bring all of that with us. We enjoyed the pool and evenings on the porch. Walking distance to the beach is short and easy to manage. The cottage is situated just a few steps from the pool but far enough away to avoid all the sounds. Great stay at a beautiful home. Owner very kind and quick to respond.

Great Property

My family thoroughly enjoyed staying here for our beach vacation. The owner, Paula, and the property management company were both great to work with. The community where this house is located was so peaceful and relaxing. The house is well-stocked with anything one may need during their stay, including board games, beach toys, and beach supplies. We could've left half our stuff at home! Also, if you intend to rent a beach chair amd umbrella set up, I have to commend Dillon's Beach Service which services this location. They were so polite and laid back to work with, which had not always been our experience with other beach vendors along 30A in years past. We would definitely recommend this property to others looking to stay in this area.

Excellent choice

We can hardly express how much we enjoyed our week-long stay at The Good Life cottage (#71) in the Camp Creek cottages. The cottage inside is Old Florida charming with high ceilings, floor-length windows and a nice floor plan for accommodating up to 7 people. The furnishings and decor are excellent and in good taste, and it is the best equipped of any vacation rental we have ever encountered. The host seems to have thought of everything, including books, puzzles, games, beach toys and every small appliance and kitchen tool you are likely to need. The setting is lovely and private with the comfortable back porch facing a shady path leading to the centrally located swimming pool. From the cottages, it’s only a short walk to the beach, which never seemed crowded. We especially liked that the surrounding buildings are fairly low key with none of those giant high rises nearby. And yet the very fancy communities of Rosemary Beach and Alys Beach are only a short drive away. Finally, the host was very responsive to the few questions we had about local services. We will highly recommend this cottage and it’s host and we hope to return for another visit.

Living the Good Life in 30A!

We loved our stay! The cottage is SO cute, comfortable, and functional—the pictures don’t do it enough justice! We had plenty of room for our family. The home was clean on arrival and everything was in good working order. Pride in ownership is apparent. Paula has thoughtfully outfitted the property with everything a vacationing family could need, from kitchenware to beach essentials. My kiddos loved the selection of books and games, and as the mom I especially appreciated the abundance of wall hooks throughout for wet towels and bathing suits. The location is super convenient. The walk to the beach was easy, and it was short bike ride to an abundance of restaurants and shops along 30A. We thoroughly enjoyed having a sizable shaded outdoor space with a grill and furniture. Even on a scorching week, we spent much time on the covered porch enjoying morning coffee, evening cookouts, and listening to the soothing white noise of sun showers hitting the tin roof. The property is ideally situated close to the community’s pool complex. It’s a very short walk, yet far enough away that you wouldn’t hear any noise from other guests. The pool is much larger than it appears in photos and was never crowded even though we were here during a busy July 4 week. Paula and the management company were very helpful and always quick to respond to any questions. We had a wonderful experience, made many great memories for a lifetime, and would absolutely book again. Thank you for everything!

Great cottage

The cottage was the perfect place to stay for a few days if you can't find something on the beach or don't want to be on the beach. You are close to all things on 30A by a short car ride or bike ride. It accommodated our 6 guests nicely for the short time. It was a close walk to the beach. The beach was also very quiet and not crowded which was very nice. It would have been nice to have bikes included but the owner gave us all the info on how to rent. The owner is super responsive and gives you all the info you need to enjoy your stay.

Perfect Cottage...Perfect Location

There's nothing NOT to love about Good Life. It's in a great location for the many great neighborhoods and activities along 30A and the private beach is the icing on the cake. Do yourself a favor and rent bikes so that you can explore all that this area has to offer. Why rent one of the massive houses when Good Life has everything you need right here? Should you encounter some Florida rain, the owner has plenty of games for you to play while you wait for the sunshine to return. You'll enjoy this place just like our family did.

TL;DR - stop searching. This is your winner.

Never having been to 30A, finding the perfect place to stay was a little overwhelming. I spent a lot of time researching and waiting to find the perfect place that combined location, amenities, and price point, and I eventually found this house within the Cottages at Camp Creek. I have never been so happy to wait for something in my life. This house had it all. It’s close to the beach (and really all the places on 30A), has an excellent pool, and is stocked with everything you need for a comfortable stay. I highly recommend this place, and when we visit 30A in the future, we’d probably stay here again. I also want to highlight the owner, Paula. Paula was always extremely quick to answer my questions leading up to our stay. She was very thorough and thoughtful with the responses providing great recommendations and information every time. She was so accommodating and friendly. I really can’t say enough about her. I wish all Vrbo owners could be like Paula. My only complaint is this - one of the big reasons I had booked the house was for the hot tub. The hot tub was not in service when we were there (it happens), but there was no information about this. I called the property management company (Southern Vacation Rentals runs it). They had no answer, but the nice lady who I spoke with said she’d call me back after contacting the HOA. I never heard back and the hot tub was never fixed. Disappointed that the hot tub didn’t work but more disappointed that I was left hanging.

The Good Life Cottage

The community has a nice feel. The cottage is well stocked and nicely furnished, but could use a bottle of hand soap at the kitchen sink. The 9:00 check out is earlier than most places where we have stayed while traveling over the years. Access to the beach was across the street and down a few houses. It was pretty easy to have a good time.

About the host

Hosted by Paula Caproni

Host profile image
We live in the cold snowy Midwest and we are big believers in vacations! We have been the sole owners of this cottage and have taken excellent care of it for our guests ever since. We come to the cottages with family and friends. Sometimes we use both cottages together, and we stay in one cottage and our friends stay in the other cottage (we also own Key Lime next door VRBO 33828). Unfortunately, we can't be there all the time, so we're happy that our guests can enjoy them when we're not there!

Why they chose this property

We decided to buy our first Cottage, Ahhh The Good Life, at the Cottages at Camp Creek because we loved the location, as well as the charm, of the community. It is a quiet community - perfect for families, away from the busier and high-traffic communities, yet close enough to anything we need - Publix, gas stations, restaurants, coffee shops, children's playgrounds and beautiful parks and walks at Alys beach, Rosemary Beach with everything it offers, and the the 13-mile walking/biking trail across the street). We spend most of our time at the quiet uncrowded beach with stunning sunsets across the street, at the very big pool (I like swimming laps every morning that I'm there and we all like relaxing on floats and reading magazines/books), and dining or relaxing on the large covered porch (it's really nice to be on the covered porch when it's raining). We also appreciate having a separate cottage rather than an attached condo because of the privacy and quiet (for example, you don't hear people upstairs or through the walls), as well as how light-filled the cottage because of the many windows surrounding the cottage (which you don't get in an attached condo). We feel VERY lucky to have found our cottages at the Cottages at Camp Creek.

What makes this property unique

We do everything we can to make our cottages feels like fully furnished and equipped beach homes rather than rentals. We make sure the furniture, bedding, and everything else is charming, comfortable, and high quality. Our guests always notice that we pay attention to the details. The books, games, movies, puzzles ensure you always have something to do, even on rainy days. The pool is huge for a small community - I love swimming laps in the pool in the morning in the summer and floating around the pool or sitting in the hot tub at night watching the stars come out one by on). The beach is awesome - I love taking a book to the beach and just reading for hours. We fish from the beach and have caught red fish, pompano, and white fish for dinner. We enjoy the short walk to Alys Beach (with the coffee shop, Charlie's donut truck and George's casual restaurant with the best grouper sandwiches and fish tacos). When not at the pool or beach, we rest on the covered porch and love the way it feels during a rainstorm as well.

Our guests (and we) really appreciate the low traffic in this area for safety and ease of getting around, especially in the peak seasons when we want to avoid the bumper to bumper traffic in some of the busier beach communities - what a relief to not have to deal with traffic! Frankly, we love everything about the cottage, the charming Cottages at Camp Creek, and this beautiful area.
