Great House!

We spent last year's spring break at this house and we booked to stay again this year. We had a wonderful time! The house is clean and comfortable. The bedrooms are roomy and the beds are comfortable. We love the open floor plan. We all took turns cooking using the well-stocked kitchen and the charcoal grill in the back of the house. We enjoyed reading on the shaded front porch. The location is a short walk to the beach and to some restaurants. With our own bikes we hopped on the bike path that goes right by the house. We will definitely return!

Wonderful summer getaway

This is the perfect location for busy summer months. It’s a quick walk to the beach and restaurants, but far enough from the crowded areas to feel quiet and private. Gary is a great host and the check in process is very simple.

Great location close enough to beach and shops

Gary was great host. Our group needed more parking and he had a plan for that. Quiet neighborhood just off a county road that has a great walking sidewalk to beach, and shops and restaurants. Kitchen has all the amenities for cooking just about anything. Great floor plan for 2 families as 2 bedrooms are basically master, plus 3rd bedroom and upstairs living room can sleep kids. Living area downstairs accommodated the 6 of us for meals and hanging out. Definitely will consider next trip to 30A!

A Santa Rosa Beach Delight

We haven't been to Santa Rosa Beach in a few years, and the area has certainly grown busier. The house was perfectly located to walk to restaurants and shops as well as the beach without having to jump into the crowds. When the house needed some emergency care, Gary was attentive and immediately resolved the unexpected repair. The space was just right for our family, with comfy beds and a well-equipped kitchen. Sandy Feet was delightful.

Perfect Property

We travel to Santa Rosa Beach every year (20 years) and we were very impressed with this property. It was very clean, spacious and had all of the amenities that we needed. The kitchen was fully stocked for any type of cook. We rented bikes and the path to the beach and Gulf Place was easy and accessible. The neighborhood was quiet. We will definitely consider staying in this property again. Thank you for sharing this beautiful property.

About the host

Hosted by Gary Cornett

We're an active retired couple looking for an investment that would require some work but that we could also enjoy with friends and family. So we decided to invest in a Florida home on the Gulf, as the Gulf features the most beautiful beaches anywhere! We're from Franklin, Tennessee and through out the years we’ve enjoyed trips to the Gulf Coast area and have always enjoyed the beauty of the Gulf. Wanting to escape the crowds at Destin, we came upon the lovely community of Santa Rosa Beach with its sugar sand beaches, bike paths and walking trails and eclectic selection of restaurants and we knew that the combination of was perfect for us and guests both now and in the future! For now we will rent home so others can enjoy it too!

Why they chose this property

We love the tucked-away feeling that the Cottages of Santa Rosa Beach offer as well as the nature preserves that surround the area and the lovely beach, bike paths and small community feel. The beach is a short walk away, or a 1 minute drive. Plus, the communities of Grayton Beach, Seaside, Rosemary Beach are short drives down scenic Hwy 30A. We also love the close-by restaurant selection from Stinky’s Fish Camp, The Perfect Pig, Shunk Gulley and the Growler Garage to name a few. There are plenty of great restaurants along 30A.

What makes this property unique

The designated Ed Walline public beach access with showers and restrooms, bike paths, preserve, as well as the unique restaurant and bar selection. But what we really love more than anything are the quiet evenings on our front porch after a walk on the beach at sunset. The sunsets on this beach are spectacular and are different every night. Brilliant oranges, pink and silver. Gorgeous!
