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 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. Goat Feathers restaurant, just steps away, has a seafood market on site. Also within walking distance is local favorite Shunk Gully (great oysters, full bar and music), and Gulf Place with all of 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 our beaches here - with a passion! The stroll to get gulf side 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 23 years! Check us out!
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!
