About this property

Unlimited access to the beach. This spacious, 2 bedroom 2 bathroom cottage is nestled in a grove of scrub oaks, on a bluff overlooking Eastern Lake. The Gulf of Mexico is about a 200 yard walk, due south. When you use the county access walkway, it leads you to over 350' of county owned public beach, surrounding the Eastern Lake Inlet, a gorgeous place for kids to play.
You will have to wade across the Inlet, which is sometimes ankle deep, or sometimes thigh deep water, or you can use a completely "dry" public access about 75 yard west of there. We think the most enjoyable way to get to the beach is to paddle in one of the canoes and kayaks that we provide. The cottage is the bottom half of our home, and it features a Pirate Ship and a Treehouse for fun and amusement.
Deer Lake State Park is less than 1 mile to the east. All of Scenic Highway 30-A is connected by a pedestrian bicycle and walking path. WaterSound, Alys Beach, and Rosemary Beach are within about 6 miles to the east. The Big Chill is a restaurant/ shopping hub about 2 miles east, and the town of Seaside is about 3 miles west.
This house is located in a quiet, nice old Florida neighborhood south of 30-A on Eastern Lake, with restaurants, shops, golfing, and bike rentals nearby. There is limited parking. We must stress to you that we have a 7 PERSON MAXIMUM CAPACITY and have PARKING available for only ONE CAR.

If you need additional bedrooms and parking spaces, we also offer a separate 4 Bedroom, 4 Bathroom rental home with a swimming pool, located right next door. You can view it at VRBO #721289

What a treat!

There aren't enough adjectives to describe how lovely our stay was at Garrett's place.The home has been improved even more since the pictures so it's even better than what is pictured, believe it or not! Our 3, 8 and 10 year old kiddos loved playing on the pirate ship and we loved the convenience of being able to load everyone on canoes and paddle ourselves to the beach each day. The home felt very private and comfortable - we had all we needed for a wonderful stay and are already looking forward to our next visit to this wonderful home! Thank you Garrett for being such a great host!

Nice get away

The property was beautiful, lots of trees and shade. As said by other guests, the upstairs is occupied by the owner but that was never a problem. We used the numerous human propelled watercraft to get to the beach daily, but a short walk would’ve done the same. It’s a quaint little neighborhood and the property manager was very receptive to communication and outlined the stay perfectly. If you’re looking for seclusion and a good place to sit on a dock and have a cocktail or coffee this is your place.

Great 2 week vacay

This property had it all. Location, tree house and pirate ship that the kids loved, kayaks, surf boards, umbrella, chairs. We didn’t have to come with anything. Also really liked the space, we didn’t feel cramped as a family of 4 in a 2 bedroom. We loaded up kayaks every day with gear and off to the beach. Very happy and would recommend.

Why they chose this property

This property, in addition to be situated on a great location overlooking Eastern Lake, also provides a great deal of shade and privacy because of its unique canopy of live oaks and magnolias. The beach area directly south is very spacious and includes the Eastern Lake Inlet, a fabulous place for kids of all ages.

What makes this property unique

We provide not only private dock and a Boathouse full of kayaks and canoes, but also a Pirate Ship, and a Treehouse that lend a certain whimsy to the natural setting.
