LOCATION, LOCATION, LOCATION. This lovely 3-bedroom, 2-bath cottage and its twin cottage next door, Ahhh The Good Life (VRBO 25160) are located at the Cottages at Camp Creek - a new, small, quiet, family-friendly coastal community of Old Florida style cottages with tin roofs and large covered front porches. Nestled in the lush native environment and far from fast food, high-rises, and busy roads, this cottage is only 200 yards (4-minute walk) from an uncrowded Blue Wave certified beach known for high dunes, white sand, and emerald water.
Our beaches consistently get rave reviews. Travel & Leisure magazine says "nothing in this country compares with the white-flour beaches of the Florida Panhandle"! Another newspaper travel section says "Tucked in the Panhandle are the beaches of South Walton, an enclave of 14 eclectic beach communities, 17 fresh and saltwater lakes, five state parks and 26 miles of coastline along the Gulf of Mexico. The region remains a breath of fresh air. Beaches here are stunningly beautiful, with emerald-green water and white-sand shores." And the golf, fishing, dining, and shopping is great.
Built in 2003 along Scenic 30A, this spacious (1100 square feet) and sunny one-story cottage is in a prime location, steps from the pristine 7500 square foot pool yet not right on top of the pool you can enjoy quiet and privacy on your large fully-furnished front porch that looks over a peaceful little yard surrounded by pretty native plants and trees. Key Lime is one of the closest cottages to the beach. Our community is across the street from a walking, running and biking trail that goes through all the beach communities along 30A.
During spring and summer breaks, we also offer an amenities package that includes one free adult pass to the Big Kahuna's water park daily, one free round of golf daily, and one free adult ticket to Gulf World in Panama City daily. You would also get free movie rentals at a local video store throughout your stay.
We furnish and equip our cottages to feel like fresh, comfortable, well equipped beach homes rather than rentals. A travel writer who stayed at one of our cottages said our cottages are "tastefully decorated with many personal touches" and "immaculate." Living room (with cable TV/DVD/VCR/CD), dining area, and fully-equipped kitchen have hardwood floors, ceiling fans, and plenty of comfortable seating for relaxing, reading or watching movies together. Furnished in a tropical style, the dining and living area opens with two sets of French doors to a large porch furnished as an outdoor room with a cafe table, glider loveseat, and matching chair surrounded by a small private yard with charcoal grill. Wireless Internet.
Guests say our kitchens are among the best-equipped they've seen, with plenty of dinnerware (as well as plastic dinnerware), pots and pans, bake ware, crockpot, wafflemaker, crepe maker, electric frying pan, & more. Full-size washer & dryer.
When you want time alone, retreat to the privacy of your bedroom. All are comfortably furnished with cozy cotton quilts, and cable TV/VCR/CD. Master bedroom has king bed, phone, and private travertine-tiled full bath. Two other bedrooms (one has a queen bed and the other has a bunk bed) are decorated in tropical themes as well.
We include beach chairs, cooler, beach totes, beach toys, as well as plenty of videos/dvds/puzzles/games/cds/books and more for guests 1 - 100 years old. Guest book comments include:
"I wanted to let you know what an amazing vacation we had in your wonderful cottage. It was everything you said and more. We had the best vacation ever and can't wait to go back. Do you have any openings left in 2007? We've already decided to make a week in August an annual event for our family and possibly my sister's family also. There wasn't a single thing we could have wanted that you hadn't already thought of. Everything was perfect!"
"We had a great time! The kids hated to leave the pool! We love this community...Thanks for the use of your cottage. We'll be back!"
"We had a wonderful spring break here at Seacrest beach! We enjoyed our stay in the Key Lime Cottage! We think the cottage is in the perfect location! Our kids enjoyed the puzzles, back porch, and movie selection. We drove to Seaside for the Tuesday evening concert...Thanks for the beach chairs, sand toys, and DVD selection! We hope to return!"
"We have stayed here for 2 weeks and we have totally enjoyed our stay. This house was absolutely perfect. We will definitely come back again. The whole family enjoyed how each bedroom was so cozy. We felt like were home...Thanks for all the maps you gave us. They really helped us out. We also loved the plates, cups, and silverware! The kids would watch DVDs and I would do those puzzles. Thank you so much for your games and entertainment you provided us. Once again, we want to thank you for letting us have the pleasure of staying at Key Lime Cottage."
Why pay more when you can have a great vacation experience and use the money you save to dine out at some of Florida's top restaurants located nearby, buy your weekly groceries, rent bikes, or pay admission fees to fun family activities.
When you call to book your vacation, ask for "Key Lime Cottage" and SAY THAT YOU SAW THE AD ON VRBO.

Why the Owner Chose Cottages of Camp Creek
We decided to buy Key Lime Cottage after we bought Ahhh The Good Life (VRBO 25160 next door) because we enjoyed Ahhh The Good Life and the Cottages at Camp Creek so much. We love the location (off the beaten track yet close to everything we need - restaurants, coffee shop, parks, bike trail), lovely quiet beach with stunning sunsets, very big pool (I love to swim laps in the mornings when I'm there and lay on a float in the pool in the evening and watch the stars come out), big porch (which is great for when it rains, too), and the design of the cottage which is so nicely laid out. We also thought it would be great to have the side-by-side cottages for when we travel with family and friends (and for when our guests travel with family and friends). Having the side-by-side cottages is more flexible than having one big house because our guests get to spend a lot of time with the family/friends they travel with and at the same time have privacy for when they want it, especially if the family/friends have different daily routines/schedules.
The Unique Benefits at this Cottage
Everything. The cottage itself (books, games, movies, puzzles and more for all ages, which is great to have on sunny days or rainy days - no one is ever bored), the porch (we pretty much live on the porch when we're not at the pool or beach), the beautiful beach, the short walk to Alys Beach Coffee Shop (Fonville Press), and proximity to Rosemary Beach, Seagrove, Seaside, Grayton Beach.

We live in cold snowy Michigan and love coming to our cottages. But since we can't be there all the time, we're happy that our guests can enjoy them when we're not there!
