Beautiful Home Close to Beach Fun
Communication prior to the trip and throughout was excellent. Any question that came up was immediately handled. Had assistance in getting a 6-seat golf cart as well. The week was perfect with a quick 5 minute walk to the beach anytime we wanted. On top of that, the shops and restaurants down the street entertained the older kids. Overall, the stay was perfect!

Great Beach house
My family of 5 stayed a week at this beach house and it was wonderful. The place was clean, enough beds and bathrooms for everyone, and less than a 10 minute walk to the beach. There are plenty of good restaurants in the area to visit. And a paved pathway for walks or runs that goes for miles.

Exceeded Our Expectations
We absolutely loved our time in this cottage on 30A! There were four in our group, my husband and myself and our daughter and a friend. We had lots of room to spread out and have our own space. However, I feel like the cottage could easily accommodate six, maybe eight, and still feel roomy. The kitchen was very well appointed, much more so than some houses we have stayed in, and the beds were all very comfortable. We did reach out to the property manager once because we were unable to locate the DVD player. He was quick to respond and delivered one to us in just a couple of hours. We loved being within walking distance to the beach, shopping, dining, etc. Definitely recommend!!

Beautiful little place
Location and the home were great. Would have liked a table in the back yard to eat meals or have coffee, but not a big deal. Walking distance to a few restaurants and a public beach access. Communication with the owner and property manager was prompt.

Cute as a button!
LOVED this vacation home! Excellent location close to great restaurants, just down from the beach entrance, great little coffee shop down the way, art gallery and gift shops. Super smooth check-in, check-out procedure. Comfy front porch sitting/coffee sipping and back porch fire pit/wine drinking patio area. Nice towels and bedding. Well-stocked kitchen. Rent a golf-cart for easy beach commute. Would book this place again for sure!

Amazing!
My husband, our three young kids, and I stayed for five nights and it wasn’t long enough, we didn’t want to leave! This was our favorite vacation rental so far. The home had plenty of room and was well furnished, comfortable, and very nicely decorated. We were less than a half mile from Gulf Place where there are shops, restaurants and the beach is across the street. We walked several times and it was very convenient. We hope to stay there again!

Great location and house!
We really enjoyed our week in this area and the cottage was perfect for our family! Easy access to the beach and plenty of restaurants and shops close by. We were a bit concerned about the house being close to the county hwy but really it was not an issue. Ed Walline Beach, which is actually only around 100yds long for setting up chairs/camp, is family friendly and we always got parking for the golf cart and a front row spot if going early in the morning (7:30-8am). There are private beaches on either side so we were also concerned about this but we set up as close to the boundary line as possible each day and hardly noticed that the beach was fairly packed. The busiest day was Sunday. Note that the private areas only include the dry sand and of course not the water. The house was well stocked with enough cooking hardware and the setup is great for families. I have absolutely no complaints! One thing to note is that the options for grocery stores are up on the divided Hwy so for any major grocery runs you either have to have a car (can’t take a golf cart there) or schedule for a grocery delivery. There are a couple local markets which would serve the basic needs for lunch and housing within easy walking distance. The next time we come to Florida we will be staying in this exact area and this house if available! One note for the local popular restaurant Shunk Gulley. If you plan to eat there with a group you need to arrange for an early supper (5pm), especially if you want to sit on the top level. Great view and food!

This is a really nice property. All the comforts of home. It is within walking distance to the beach. We were able to find parking within a block all 7 days. Lots to do within the area eating shopping beach rentals etc. 30A did not disappoint .

Lovely home & Perfect location
The home is just lovely, décor is fresh and comfortable. Perfect home for a girls/guys/couples weekend or a family with a few older kids/teens. We had our 2 teenagers and they really enjoyed having the nice space upstairs when they wanted to chill by themselves for a little while. The bedrooms are spacious & comfortable, extra nice that each has it's own bathroom. (side note, there is a 1/2 bath downstairs as well!) The kitchen is good enough, a few odd placing of cabinets & how they open to be able to utilize the space well and there's just enough cookware to make do. We ate out most of our meals and there were several great restaurants within walking / biking distance and the others were a short drive. Shunk Gulley is definitely touristy - but it is still very, very good (key lime pie is the best!!), the perfect pig is also very good. The beach is a short 5 minute walk. The house doesn't have any extra beach items such as a cart, umbrella or toys, so if you are vacationing with little kids to the beach be prepared for that. There were 2 comfortable back pack style beach chairs. The backyard patio with a fire pit & small grill was fun too. And we met a few neighbors as well that were super pleasant. We really enjoyed our time and would consider renting here again.
