Tropical elegance is the theme of this getaway location. Guests comment, "It's like being on the set of a Hollywood Movie Studio because it is so picturesque." Many creature comforts pack out this Florida Cottage.

"USA Today" rated our Beach #1. Noncommercial pristine beaches boast beautifully protected sand dunes, contain extra wide sandbars, are 50 yards wide, and extend in both directions as far as the eye can see.

At sunset, the Gulf transforms into a vibrant array of tantalizing pinks, opulent oranges, iridescent blues, and velvety violets while the sun slowly sinks into the Southwestern horizon.

                        We went down to Bird of Paradise for Thanksgiving and it was one of our best. Your home is wonderful. We stayed on the beach and watched the spectacular sunset then ate our turkey which we grilled on the bar-b-que. The cottage was perfect for our family. Thanks for letting us stay there.

                        We enjoyed the beach, sun and pool. The neighborhood is secluded so we never felt overwhelmed by all the Spring Breakers but yet we were a part of the action when WE chose to be in!

                        The home has been newly painted inside and out! We really liked the way the home was clean and well maintained. We were relaxed the entire week. Couldn't have asked for more!!!

                        For Mothers' Day we talked about getting away to the beach with the kids... and we are so happy we chose VRBO/ 122906 Bird of Paradise! The grandkids were safe and secure in this picteresque neighborhood. There was plenty of room for all 6 adults and the two grandchildren. The setting was perfect.

                        I wanted to take the time to thank you for opening up your home to us. My whole family fell in love with the location and amenities that were all around. From the pool a few houses down, to the beach a minute away, and all of the shopping and restaurants in walking distance. It was better than described on your website. If you are thinking about renting this is the place!!!! It was truly an awesome experience. God Bless!!!

                      Why the Owner Chose Gulfside Cottages:
                      When our twins were born we lived near Atlanta and this is the perfect place to stay with children. We came back every year and decided it was time to own a Florida cottage.

                      The Unique Benefits at this Cottage:
                      We are walking distance to the beach but yet close enough to fine restaurants, movies, shopping, and fun family attractions.
