Beach service (Chairs and umbrella) for 2 included!
A VERY short walk to private uncrowded Frangista beach (4 minutes and your toes are in the famous Emerald Waters) with the uncrowded neighborhood pool directly behind home. You can sit on screened porch and watch the kids swim in the luxurious large pool. This charming cottage has 11 ft ceilings and all driftwood tile floors (no carpet). The owner is an interior/kitchen and bath designer and has left nothing unattended - you will be pleasantly surprised by the tasteful vintage decor. Colors are soft and relaxing and no detail has been overlooked including high quality bedding. You will be charmed by the iron beds, cotton quilts and vintage linen fabrics.

The master suite, named La Jardin Suite (the garden suite) has soft pistachio green walls, hydrangea wreath, garden statuary, wrought iron accents, and beautiful art and accessories. It is refreshing and relaxing and perfect in every detail. The secondary suite, named La Petite Suite, is decorated with a Country French cotton quilt and bedding, black iron bed and black distressed furnishings. Beautiful original oils and limited edition prints complete the pleasing ambience of this room.
The kitchen is fully equipped so if you prefer to donning your apron instead of waiting in line at a restaurant, everything you need is there including stainless appliances, a new LG induction range, a new Bosch dishwasher, Bosch side by side fridge with ice and water in the door and and refrigerated filtered water at the sink.
The gathering room is something out of a magazine with it's slip-covered furniture, original oils and vintage touches. The large oval table in a distressed red finish will seat 3-4 plus 5 at the kitchen island.
Your toes will touch the beautiful white sands of the Gulf in minutes. You cross Scenic 98 which is not busy. We are confident if you stay once, you will return, making 'As Good As It Gets' your Florida beach tradition.

First time in the area and As Good As It Gets was the perfect rental for our family. Cottage feel, beautifully decorated and the screened in porch is where we spent most of our downtime for morning coffee, evening drinks and games with the family. The pool is in the backyard and was never very crowded. Nice fenced in yard for our dog. Very short walk to the beach and restaurants/stores. Quick drive to anything else we needed. Perfect location. The beds were very comfortable! The management company was very quick to respond.Will definitely look here again next time in the area!

Hi Jill, we are so glad you all enjoyed this wonderful cottage here in Frangista Beach and thank you for staying with us. The Frangista Beach properties Team
A very nice place to stay, not far from the beach. Be advised that the community is very noisy, we had to call the sheriff on some neighbors due to loud parties and fighting outside.

Great accommodations!
3rd year in a row I have stayed here and once again it was great time had by all.
We had a great time staying at this property. The only thing we thought the property could use was more towels and washcloths.

Thanks for your review. My housekeeping service is supposed to bring 10 sets of bath, hand and wash rags. Then of course you can use the large capacity washer/dryer. If there was less than that please message me and I’ll address that with housekeeping. Thanks for visiting !

Thank you so much for visiting the cottage and the great review . So glad you found it to be fantastic. Come back soon! Barbara
My family and I stayed here for our Spring Break trip and had the best time. The house was perfect for 4 of us - being right behind the pool was extremely convenient because my kids love to swim. Pool was heated which was great for March. Super close to the beach, which was also beautiful. House was fully stocked with everything we needed
