About this property

PUP FRIENDLY COTTAGE & SOUTH OF 30A!

NO UPTICK IN 2025 RATES & NEVER A PET FEE! ON 30A WE'RE ALL ABOUT DOG FRIENDLY BEACH RENTALS! WE'D LOVE TO HAVE YOU & YOUR PUP VISIT US AT MELLOW YELLOW!

SOME JULY DATES JUST FREED UP. COME STAY WITH US!

****NOTE: WE OBSERVE "WEEKLY ONLY" RESERVATIONS MAY - AUGUST. SAT - SAT CHECK IN/CHECK OUT.****

Winter visits might be available monthly. Contact us for info.

This cozy, whimsical, DOG FRIENDLY/NO FEE!, island style cottage is located in the enormously popular, small beach side community of Old Florida Cottages on the south side of Scenic Hwy 30A. There are no roads to cross going to the gulf which is only 200 yards away. Or simply step out the back door and walk TEN easy steps to the newly renovated pool and picnic area.
This tropical home is perfect for a small family or two couples. The master bedroom has a king-size bed with private bath and balcony. The guest bedroom has a queen-size bed with private bath and balcony. Both have flat screen cable TVs. For your convenience, each bath has a hair dryer. (Both beds have quality firm, pillow top mattresses for extra sleeping comfort.) Upstairs balconies have deep hammocks that invite you to nap daily. And, acclaimed juried artist, Tim McAllister, has created - just for Mellow Yellow - an awesome Dolphin underwater viewing mural on the upstairs landing that everyone loves. His art can also be found in other areas of the house and his efforts have truly contributed to the uniqueness of this fun, wonderfully comfortable, home. Children love Mellow Yellow!
The first floor has an open plan with front and back porches. The living room - which has art/decor reflecting the feel of a rain forest - has a new queen sleeper sofa and a 55" flat screen TV. The dining space has an oval table that will comfortably seat six. Four adjacent bar stools allow you further seating. The fully equipped kitchen makes meal prep a breeze. Whip up a batch of margaritas in the blender to sip while watching the sunset. Or, how about a 'cheeseburger in paradise' concocted on your own grill on the back porch? Free WiFi available.
Within walking distance are some great eateries, and delightful shopping, at Gulf Place. Scenic 30-A boasts wonderful restaurants, many of which have been featured in food periodicals. And Goat Feathers restaurant, just steps away, has a seafood market on site. Also within walking distance, Shunk Gully (great oysters, full bar and music), and Gulf Place and all its restaurants and shops. Nearby you'll visit Silver Sands, the largest outlet mall in the States, Sandestin - with its great golf, boutique shopping, and even more fine restaurants - Santa Rosa Beach and Golf Club located right on 30-A, Grayton Beach, Water Color, Rosemary Beach, Alys Beach, and world renowned Seaside, where the Truman Story was filmed.
Experience beautiful beaches with sugar white sand that stays cool on the hottest day. I'm a panhandle native, lived and cruised on a 60' sailboat for well over a decade (many years in the islands) and I STILL LOVE THIS BEACH - with a passion! The stroll to get there is easy for even small children. POOL IS NORMALLY HEATED FROM MARCH 1 - OCTOBER 31. Please contact me to verify.

DOGS 100% welcome with prior approval. Your refundable deposit includes them so there's not a separate fee if they join you on vacation. Proof of all vaccinations please. Leash to be used off property at all times and, please, clean up after pets regardless of location. Note: I've been told repeatedly there are numerous homeowners who allow pets but charge outrageous fees - and keep a portion of those monies regardless. I refuse to 'punish' dog lovers who want to travel with all their family members so, although our Deposit may be governed by circumstances, it IS refundable...and I've YET to have to keep it...pet owners are the BEST guests! In Santa Rosa Beach/30A we're all about dog friendly beach rentals and have been for over 20 years! NOTE: Visiting pups are NOT allowed on the beach.

We would like to note that we have a newly acquired property: 30APaws. Located in the same vicinity as Mellow Yellow, it's a single story, 3/2 with a fenced backyard. A 60 second drive off 30A. Its vrbo ID#: 3140884. Take a look!

A wonderful week!

Our family had the best time! The location was awesome for walkability to restaurants, the beach, and beautiful sights. The house was the perfect space for us and had all the amenities to make it a seamless experience. I loved the overall atmosphere of the neighborhood, too! And Pat was lovely to coordinate with.

What a week

We had a great stay at Mellow Yellow. Two adults and two older kids and a small dog were all comfortable. The location is great for the beach and close to a lot of restaurants. We will look up Mellow Yellow for future stays. Incredible service and communication from the host.

Beach vacation

My husband and I rented this Mellow Yellow cottage for a beach getaway. It was great for what we needed. Full kitchen, clean, short walk to the beach, the closet on the deck was stocked with everything we needed for the beach ( chairs, wagon, umbrella etc) The owner, Pat was fantastic to work with! She answered every question and even messaged us the 1st day to make sure everything was acceptable with our cabin. We would for sure stay again

Great vacation spot

The property is convenient to the beach, pool and shopping. Very cozy for family of five. Especially appreciated the owner’s willingness to allow our dog to stay with us. This eliminated the worry about our fury child and minimized stress on her as well. Thank you so much for the hospitality. We’ll definitely look for this place in the future!

Fabulous Location

Your not going to find a better location. Close to the beach and the biking trail. Close to great restaurants too. How great it was to have your own community pool, and what a cute community! Pat was so helpful during our stay, answered so many questions (and even helped us find an extra parking spot when our son came to visit). We hope to be back next year!

Great location to beach

The house was in a great location, a short walk to the beach. The area has lots of restaurants and things to do. The house accommodated 4 adults nicely, plenty of space. It had everything we needed for a comfortable stay. Beds are comfortable and the shower was nice and hot. If your going to cook it has everything you need to prepare a meal. The only thing I would bring is a hairdryer as the one there is great for short hair but not enough blowing power for long hair. I would come back again and the owner is great with communication.

I loved my stay, it was exactly as I expected. I arrived an hour early but the owner had already messaged that the house was ready if that happened to be the case. She was accessible by phone when I locked myself out accidentally. I is Just a short walk to the beach. Lovely neighborhood. I highly recommend a stay here.

Wonderful week at Mellow Yellow

This cottage was perfect for the three adults and our small pet yorkie. Very clean and comfortable. Everything was easy to locate. Beaches, pool, restaurants, shops. The only thing that didn't work was our Lap-top. Very enjoyable and would definiterly rent this place again without a doubt.

Everything was perfect!

The house was just as it was described. The owner was very helpful during the booking process and answered questions we had prior to arrival quickly. The location is quiet but close to shopping and restaurants. The beach a short walk away and the community pool is well maintained. The other guests were friendly but everyone kept to themselves. We had our 2 teen daughters and our dog along. Everyone loved the house and location.

Absolutely Pup and Family Friendly

We had an amazing trip thanks to Mellow Yellow! We searched many properties for an actual “pet friendly” place to stay for our vacation. We either were given a limit of 1 (a few with 2) small breed or 1 dog under 50lbs. Mellow Yellow was the only real pup friendly place we found! Everything was clean! There was a list of pet friendly places nearby. The location is perfectly placed between the beach and stores! Communication was fantastic and quick! So many positives about this place! The best part was our entire family (because our pups are our family too) could be together! We definitely plan to book Mellow Yellow for our future trips!

Perfect location. Attentive owner.

Mellow Yellow was exactly as promised. Loved the decor. We and our dog felt right at home. Clean. Comfortable. The owner called the first day to be sure everything was good for us. She had gotten a new couch and even added a new Netflix/Amazon accessible TV just before we arrived. When the tv needed to be re-adjusted by the media company, the owner was immediately responsive and got it taken care of. And the location was perfect- close to the beach, walking trails, and restaurants.

Mellow Yellow

House was great. Close to beach although we came during an abnormal cold spell. Our Aussie felt at home and we felt safe leaving him while we went out. I had a dumb attack the first few minutes and locked us out of the house with our Aussie inside. Pat sent someone over promptly and got us back in. Had to leave a day early due to weather up north but will come back anther time

Mellow Yellow

From finding the listing to checking out we were amazed at the attention to detail Pat has when interacting with you, learning the whys on why you choose their home away from home to the description of the amenities and home itself. I would recommend this house to my friends and family and we are definitely planning a return to this home as well. The queen bed is soft and the full is a little firmer. I personally prefer a firm bed so the kids 3 and 10 got the big bed. Fully stocked with everything you will need from the front door to the storage on the back deck, it's full of beach supplies for the ones that forgot something at home. We love mellow yellow and will be returning next year! Thank you again for hosting!

Amazing cottage in 30A

This house has everything you need to make your stay perfect. A few steps from the beautiful ocean, kitchen is well equipped for those like me, who love to cook. It was very clean and also has beach chairs and a wagon that was very helpful to carry stuff to the beach. Ms Pat was very responsive and the rental process was very smooth. We were supposed to take our senior dog, but just days before going we decided to rescue a dog from a killing shelter, and when I asked Ms. Pat she let us take our new dog. That was amazing. We had a wonderful stay and will definitely go back.
