WE OBSERVE WEEKLY ONLY RESERVATIONS MAY - AUGUST. SAT - SAT CHECK IN/CHECK OUT.****
We love our guests and want you to feel safe and comfortable! During 2020 spring we led the way with 100%-refund cancellations if covid was a factor. Our crew is very focused on cleaning and only CDC recommended sanitizers are used. There is no need to interface with others when checking in ~ you may go directly to the cottage for private entry. We urge all of you to follow the health guidelines that have been put in place.****


We observe a Sat - Sat minimum weekly rental during high season. Shoulder season requires a four night reservation. Winter months might be available monthly. Contact us for info. 10:00 CHECK OUT TIME.

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!

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!

Loved my stay
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.

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!
