'Barbie's Beach House'....Perfect Cottage Steps from Beach heated pool
Georgeous decorated beach house near Seaside on 30-A. Relax after your beach day in the private heated pool or in the oversized hammock in the shade of the trees. Private beach access to a non crowded area of beach. This is one of the favorites of our guests. You will understand when your here
Main living area with gas fireplace joins kitchen with Viking appliances.
3 full bedrooms, 1 king, 2 queens, 3 full baths.Office with 2 twin beds on sunporch on second floor. Balcony off front bedroom on second floor.
This is a 1800 square home that will easily give 3 or 4 children there own space.
The pool in the backyard is very private with gas gill and patio for grilling out.
Seaside is a little less than a mile away with entertaiment for adults and kids. Many locally owned shops and restaurants are within walking distance .Bike rental's close by and some renters have not driven a car after arriving since there are bike paths all along 30A. Publix Grocery at Watercolor Crossing is about a mile away
This is a great family vacation home for a laid back 30-A South Walton vacation. It is almost never crowded where we are located, but if you want the crowds then just bike to Seaside. While there is a private beach directly across street, there is also a public beach close by with Walton County Lifeguards if that is important.
This is my wifes pride and joy so if you rent, please try your best to keep it nice.We will check you in and out and do our best to make sure you have a great time. I know you will love the location. Saturday to Saturday rental.

We had an amazing week staying at Barbie's Beach House during our spring break! Communication with the host/assistant was very smooth and helpful both before and during our stay. We loved the pool and spent several hours in it every day (paying extra to heat it was well worth it to us). We loved the easy walk to the beach access point across the street, and the private beach was never crowded, the sand was clean and soft, and the ocean water was gorgeous the entire time we were there (it was that bright and clear water we've only seen in Turks & Caicos and in Eleutheria in the Bahamas)! The house was so cozy and cute--we loved the decor, artwork, bedding, and furniture. The kitchen had everything we needed. There was an issue with the dryer, but the host's assistant made sure we knew about it ahead of time (we really appreciate that open and honest communication). Thank you for being amazing hosts and for allowing us to stay at your beautiful home! We love vacationing in this area of 30A and hope to stay at Barbie's Beach House again!
This property is fantastic! The home is extremely cozy, perfect location, lots to do nearby. The beach is steps away and absolutely gorgeous. The home amenities and decor made for a perfect beach vacation. I would give this home away from home a million stars. The pool, the beach access, the furnishings, the delightful decor make it the perfect getaway! We just loved it!
This was our 5th time to stay at the Barbie and we love it. We had car trouble on our last day and needed to stay another night and luckily the house was vacant the next week. Ted and Rachel were great and we were able to book an extra night. Can't wait to come back and stay on our next trip.
My family had a WONDERFUL stay here & we didn’t want to leave!!. The property is exactly as listed. Super cute decor! Very clean, great responsive host, perfect location. Private beach access right across the street. Private pool a love for the family. Would definitely recommend & hope to stay here again sometime when in the area!
Perfect location. Not even 5min walk to the private beach. Parked our car and used a golf cart all week! So fun for the whole family. Exceptionally clean as well.
This home was unique, comfortable with great art. It was far more pleasant than the sterile modern condos/homes. The property was very private with beautiful landscaping in the front and back gardens with a nice pool. The property manager was extremely responsive and pleasant.
Adorable house and the pool is perfection. Well stocked kitchen, and the house is just a short walk to both the beach and seaside. Really enjoyed my stay.
We had an amazing time at this property!! Ted and his team were amazing and easy to work with. The house is in a perfect location for beach access! We will definitely return to this property!
This was PERFECT for our first trip to 30A. A little over a mile to downtown Seaside and a 2 min walk to the beach. The pool in the back was perfect for us. Ted was a great host and always available to answer any of my questions.
Oh my gosh let me say….this was the absolute best! The house was clean, well stocked, the owner and his assistant were amazing. We loved the pool. There were lots of jellyfish this week so we took full advantage of the pool. The bed was comfy. The shower was hot, We will book this house again!!

Great week at the beach!
The house was great, particularly the pool and easy beach access. This is basically as easy as it gets if you are on the north side of 30A. The bikes, pool floats and beach chairs in the shed were a nice surprise. I would definitely rent this property again.

Thank you for keeping the house so nice come again we are glad you had a great vacation
We loved our stay at Barbie’a Beach House. The location was close to everything. Easy walk to the beach and bike or golf cart trip into Seaside. Our kids loved having the heated pool to come back to in the afternoon. Ted was very responsive and easy to work with. Great find on 30A!!
Beautiful property! Space was great for our 3 teenagers. Bonus that each bedroom had their own bathroom. Great Location! Easy access to beach right across the street! (Montigo Ave and public Beach access ). Short bike ride to seaside! Pool was Awesome! Loved courtyard area in front yard! Would definitely book this property again!!
We loved our stay at Barbie’s Dreamhouse! The home was spacious and well equipped for our stay, we really appreciated the beach gear and wagon. The heated pool was so nice on the cooler days. There was an issue with the pool heater and Ted had someone come out to fix it within hours. One thing to note, the beach access is kind of steep, if anyone has limited mobility that might not be ideal. We would love to stay here again!

Love that you had a good time. There are stairs to the east and west. It makes your beach walk about 100 yards longer, but you do not have to deal with the sand path
I booked Barbie's Beach House, but I stayed in the house right next door (last minute change)- same owner. House was very comfortable and clean. Check-in was easy. The house is in a quiet location. We loved walking across the street to access the beach. Lots are places are an easy walk (organic cafe, several restaurants, bike rentals, etc). The grocery store is a short drive. We had a lovely, relaxing vacation.

Wonderful week of rest and relaxation
The house was fantastic. Close to the beach. Loved the chairs and umbrellas provided. All the comforts of home right at your fingertips. Beds were comfortable. The kids loved having the upstairs to themselves. The pool was great to lounge by after a day at the beach. Very close to Seaside which we visited several times during our week. If we visit the area again, will definitely try to stay in this home again. Many thanks to the owners.
