About this property

Pristine, private, couple's cottage. Walk to beach. Non-shedding dog considered.

Inlet Beach House is an unique property located in the historic neighborhood of Inlet Beach. The Modernist-inspired design features a light-filled open floor plan that is an art-lover's dream. Small by design, the home is well-suited for a couple's romantic getaway or a small family's beach vacation. We are tucked away on a large, lovely lot at the end of a private drive, nestled among saw palmettos, white pines, sand live oaks, bay trees, and magnolias, providing our guests plenty of space from other homes, perfect for social distancing.

NOTE: We communicate with all guests before we accept a booking to make sure that our home is the right fit for your party. Our property is not suitable for young children under twelve years old. PLEASE - before you make a payment, read the full description herein and check out our pet policy below, and then send us an email with the number of folks in your party, a guarantee that no one in your party smokes or vapes, and, your age(s), and, if applicable, the age of children, and breed, age, sex, and weight of your dog.

Located in a small neighborhood at the east end of 30A and Hwy 98, Inlet Beach House is on the "beach side" of 30 A, easy to access, and convenient to shopping. You won't have to fight the traffic of 30A, but you can get right on the beach road to cruise the Emerald Coast if you desire. The natural vegetation and large lot afford guests a private, quiet setting, just a short walk to the beach. The amenities of Rosemary Beach -- shopping, dining, and people watching -- are one block away.

Pet Policy - one dog considered, no cats:
We love dogs -- and we would like to welcome yours , as well, provided it meets our requirements. We must approve your dog in advance; it must be at least two years old, with a weight limit of 40 pounds, and be non-shedding or very light-shedding. Not all breeds are allowed. Other restrictions may apply, so please be in touch. We may require an additional refundable Pet Deposit depending on the breed of your pet to cover any additional cleaning or damage caused by pets.

The 2-story house has an open floor plan and sleeps a maximum of four. Large windows on the south side of our home frame guests' views of the sunrise through the branches of sand pines and live oaks. The first floor has queen sized bed with a Tempur-Pedic topper on a Sleepwell brand firm mattress. This "mistress" suite has a walk-in indoor/outdoor wet room and shower with a European style soaking tub.

The guest room/yoga studio, accessible by a spiral staircase, has a full bath (walk-in shower) and doubles as a yoga studio or meditation room. Guests enjoy private access to the sunset deck, with treetop views toward the Gulf (a block away) and glimpses of emerald water. What a terrific spot to enjoy your morning coffee or evening cocktail! The guest room features a West Elm mid-century futon. When converted to a bed, the futon, with quilted topper, is the length of a queen bed and a few inches narrower than a full; as such, it is best for one large adult or two small adults or teens. For folks who are used to a queen or king size bed, it may feel cramped. The guest room does not have a door at the top of the spiral staircase, in keeping with the "loft-style" open floor plan of our home.

In addition to the eat-in kitchen, Inlet Beach House has a screened dining porch on the first level and a large patio with a gas grill. For beach goers, we provide a beach wagon and beach towels. Numerous local vendors (easily found with a Google search or at 30A.com) will deliver and set up lounge chairs and/or umbrellas on the beach, a convenient option for guests. During the summer months, you can rent chairs and umbrellas on the beach at the Wall Street Access, just around the corner from our house (credit cards only). Bike rentals are available as well in Rosemary Beach, Seacrest, and all along State Highway 30-A. See options on the web at 30A.com.

Inlet Beach House is privately managed by a local woman who, like the owners, is a stickler for details. You will get prompt assistance if needed.

We welcome guests for 4 or more nights depending on the season, with the exception of holiday weeks, summer, or spring break weeks when we may require a 7 day rental. We strictly maintain the 4 person maximum at our home. We have exterior video cameras for your and our home's safety.

Inlet Beach House is a one-of-a-kind gem. Standing in contrast to the gigantic houses being built up and down 30A, our property is perfect for our lifestyle, and perhaps yours -- stylish, yet reasonable in size, with an eye toward modernist design. If you share our aesthetic and philosophy, we expect you'll love Inlet Beach House, too.

Lovely, Quiet & Private
We really enjoyed this location! We were close to Rosemary but away from the traffic and people when we wanted to chill. Quick walk to the beautiful beach and to town. This home is perfect for a couple. The kitchen is well-appointed and the whole house was very clean!

Relaxing Getaway
The property is perfect for those who want a quiet, clean and comfortable place close to shopping, restaurants and the beach. It is ultra eco friendly and super efficient. Not to mention, it is the cleanest and most well stocked property we have ever stayed in. Incredible attention to detail. Highly recommended.

10/10- perfect!
My mom and I stayed here for a mother/daughter getaway and it was absolutely perfect for many reasons- the location, pristine cleanliness, private outdoor area, and close proximity to the beach to name a few. The check in/out instructions were clear & concise which made our stay easy and carefree. The public beach access was a very short ~5 minute walk, Publix was just 2 miles down the road, and the property had mostly everything we needed! Of course my mom and I enjoyed the beach time, but also thoroughly enjoyed our evenings in the home as well. The home is so unique! We did not turn on the TV one time! We enjoyed sitting outside feeling like we were in our own little oasis. We read through some of the eco home & cooking books and especially loved the scrapbook of dog photos :) Our family dog recently passed away, so that was extra special. Claire was absolutely wonderful to communicate with. She even went out of her way to message me when there were tornado warnings one evening. I'm so happy we booked this rental, and we hope to be back soon. Thank you so much again Claire & Bev!

Wonderful Anniversary Get-away!
We looked for a relaxing beach stay with our dog, and found everything we wanted at Inlet Beach house. Quiet & secluded residence, a 5-minute walk to the humans' beach, many wonderful restaurants nearby (many dog-friendly), a short drive to nature walks, a dog park, and Panama City Beach dog area. The house was a fascinating experience in eco-friendly design, with wonderful dining setups, and relaxing rooftop and dog-walking areas--roof top & back door--and, the owners were personable and friendly communicators. The directions from them on using their home were very specific, which helped us know just what to do.

Beautiful Inlet beach house
Beautiful well thought out vacation home! We thoroughly enjoyed our week at the beach.The house was very clean and the kitchen was well stocked. It is just a short walk to the beach access. We especially enjoyed the privacy of the location where there are so many houses built right next to each other we felt like we were the only home in the area! We can’t wait to return!

In gorgeous coastal Roque Bluffs, Maine, lovely and private WaterColor Cottage, with its perennial gardens and ocean breezes, is across the lane from Little Kennebec Bay. Enjoy kayaking and sailing as you enjoy eagles, seals, wind-swept islands, and rocky shores. WaterColor Cottage is 1.5 hours from Acadia National Park and 30 minutes from Canada.

Why they chose this property

We built our Inlet Beach House in 2016. Claire's family has owned the property since the 1950s when the area was developed by the government disbursement of 1.25 acre lots. Our collaboration with the architect resulted in a gorgeous beach house that we absolutely love. We hope you will love it, too!

What makes this property unique

Inlet Beach House is a one-of-a-kind gem. Standing in striking contrast to the gigantic houses being built up and down 30A, our property is perfect for our lifestyle, and perhaps yours -- stylish, yet reasonable in size, with an eye toward modernist design. If you share our aesthetic and philosophy, we expect you'll love Inlet Beach House, too.
