Twin Palms Cottage in Blue Mountain Beach

Our calendar is updated in real-time & our nightly rates are accurately displayed. Simply enter your desired dates and click 'Book Now!'

Welcome to Twin Palms Cottage. Nestled amid pines, magnolia, and palm trees, this classic Florida cottage sits on a quiet street that is only three blocks off of 30 A - the perfect launchpad for your vacation adventures. Live music and dining are within walking distance. Two public beach access points are a three-minute drive or an eight-minute bike ride away. Or you can take a pleasant short stroll along tree-lined streets and a walking trail that traverses a covered bridge with views of Draper Lake. A welcoming abode with ample indoor and outdoor living and dining space, there will be plenty of room for your crew to both relax and entertain. When you want to hit the waves, Blue Mountain Beach is less than two miles from home.

Sip morning coffee on the 36-foot-long screened-in front porch equipped with a chaise lounge, rocking chairs, and a hanging bed. Have coffee or play cards while watching the birds in the front yard trees or dine alfresco on the secluded back deck and paved patio. Inside, find wood floors, plush furnishings, and all the comforts of home. Kick back on the light blue sofas for movie nights on the TV. A full kitchen is equipped with a suite of appliances, a coffee bar, and a four-person table. Added perks include complimentary WiFi and TVs with streaming capabilities. If you like quick access to all the adventures of 30 A with a quiet retreat to retire to, then make this your home away from home.

*The lot to the left of the home has begun clearing of the lot getting it ready for a new home to be built. We would like to inform our guests to be aware of the construction nearby as they may experience noise during business hours.

Perfect and Relaxing

This house was perfect for being off and tucked away. It was quiet and very cozy. The house was simple, yet felt homey. The front porch may be the best thing about the whole place. We spent several hours out there reading, playing games, and taking naps. If I were to stay again, I would rent a golf cart to get around. This house is close enough to the public access points (which are limited in parking) and to the shops and restaurants to use a golf cart instead of your car.

NYE Stay

Overall pretty good. Couple of flaws though. TV remote for living room didn’t work, so tv basically didn’t work. Also could probably use some new linen on master bed. Sheets had a few stains on them which isn’t good.

Not Impressed

We love Blue Mtn. Beach. We have been visiting for seven years at various places. We were very excited about this place because the pictures displayed a sanctuary that elevated the beach experience. Unfortunately, we were met with an overgrown and unkept yard when we arrived. It was anything but a sanctuary in that it truly looked abandoned as we pulled into the house. Once inside, the kitchen and living room space reeked of animal urine, the guest bathroom had sitting water in the drain that prevented us from using the tub, and the tv in the living room would not turn off the entire time. Thankfully, the volume nor the remote worked so we watched a background the entire visit. The bedrooms were super cute outside of the significant amount of hair I found on the pillows and sheets. The biggest complaint I have, though, is that the weird (and creepy) experiences I had twice where the back door was unlocked in the morning despite having double checked it to be locked before going to sleep. In all, I would not book with this house again with my young children. I felt shorted for having spent quite a lot of money to stay here.

Quiet and relaxing beach bungalow

Loved everything about this house! It was so quiet, relaxing and peaceful. It is tucked away in beautiful scenery of trees and plants. You can spend hours on the screened in porch just laying and watching the squirrels. It is spacious also, we had a yoga session out there. The house is just as pictured and decorated beautifully. There is plenty of parking available. There are some beach supplies you can use. The Vacasa owners were so great to work with. My one and only complaint is the beds in the bunk area had a plastic mattress pad which made it very hot to sleep at night but other than that our stay was wonderful. I would stay here again!

This property is exactly as promoted. Be prepared to spend hours relaxing on the huge screened in porch. As another reviewer stated, you’ll need to drive to the beach or rent a golf cart. Totally worth it, though, as the house is perfect.

make sure to rent a golf cart if going to the beach

We never ran out of toilet paper! Most places only give 1 roll per toilet. A little too far from the beach to expect to find a parking spot, and a little too far to ride bikes and tote a bunch of stuff. So rent a golf cart. The Motion sensor light keep going on and off all night, so we tried sleeping in the kids room, which was much darker, but beds were smaller and wrapped in noisy plastic. The owner just needs to buy black out shades for the master window. Also would be nice to have some extra blankets. Enjoyed the swing on the front porch, but I was nervous it might fall down, as the wood is splitting were it was screwed in, and that side was lower than the rest. It was nice to lay there with the sun coming in from the side of the house. The back yard had 2 tables with chairs, would be nice to have a living room set and one table set. We liked the open concept of the living room, dining and kitchen. It was nice to have a back patio. The street was very quiet and not noisy like some neighborhoods closer in.

Just what we needed.

The house was perfect for me and my 2 girls. We loved the front porch and the bunk bed allowed them to have friends sleep over. Plenty of towels and that was appreciated. Coffee filters would have been nice. I had to use paper towels. Extra dishwasher tablets would have come in handy too. All in all we had a great stay and the girls definitely want to come back next fall.

Peaceful Old Florida Cottage

We loved our stay at this updated cottage. The front porch is decorated beautifully and is a perfect spot for morning coffee. The decor was new and tasteful and everything was provided for. The location is serene and private and surrounded by trees and we loved having access to a gas grill. That location is super convenient to beaches and restaurants and I would stay here many times over.

Quaint cottage

The cottage is beautifully decorated, clean, comfortable, quiet, and a great location. We loved the screen porch and swing! It was perfect for our little get away. This was our first time visiting this area (Santa Rosa Beach and Seaside) and we loved it.
