Great place for the price

Great home for my family. Roomy and clean. My teens loved riding their bikes up and down 30A, but it was a little nerve wracking for me as a Mom with the kids crossing 98 to get to 30A. That was the only negative to the location. BUT once the underground tunnel is built it should solve this problem. Also, road noise from the master bedroom was certainly noticeable. I slept with the bathroom fan on and it was no problem for me. Otherwise, all good.

Winking Turtle is in close proximity to public beach access.

The beds were extremely comfortable. The property was accommodating for our family. The master bedroom does face HWY 98, road noise was somewhat bothersome, used loud sound machine to drown out noise. Diane was extremely prompt in her response and helpful. The beach was beautiful and clean!

Great location

We really enjoyed staying at this property. Check in was very easy and even with some issues we had(no fault of the property or owners, weather related) everything was solved quickly which we appreciated! Parking is pretty tight so I’d suggest not trying to park more than 2 mid size cars. We had a mid sized SUV and a car and it fit. As for the neighbor, and this was made clear by the property manager and the reviews, they really take things to the extreme with the dog whistle alarm we could hear while not even stepping on their property?? It was honestly ridiculous, but we abided by the advice we received and did not even try to walk the dogs anywhere near his house. Overall the property was great and was in a good location for what we needed. Beach access is right across the street which is super convenient, and Rosemary beach is only about a .9 mile walk. Thanks again for having us!

About the host

Hosted by Diane and Kevin Dupont

Our family has been vacationing on the Florida Coast for over 20 years. We come down to visit friends that make 30A their full time home. They purchased several cottages over the years and while staying in them, we too fell in love with the area and all it has to offer. We just took the plunge to purchase this cottage to enjoy ourselves and to share with our guests when theye need to get away from the real world.

Why they chose this property

We chose this property based on the location. So close to Rosemary Beach and everything it has to offer, but not the high price tag or traffic. We also are encouraged by the amount of growth in the 30Avenue area of Inlet Beach. We are confident that soon this will be an extension of 30A with the same beauty and lifestyle.

What makes this property unique

Beach access is ideal for either walking, biking or packing the car up with everything and everyone to taking advantage of the public parking, restrooms and showers.
The experienced property managers live 10 minutes from the property year round so response time to any issues is quick, unlike rental management companies with normal business hours.
