West End 30A Cottage- Near Gulf Place & Beaches/Dog Friendly/Golf Cart Rental

Coastal chic and comfy 3-bedroom cottage with fenced in yard, near Gulf Place and a 12 minute walk or 3 min ride to 3 public beach accesses on West 30A in serene Dune Allen Beach.

Enjoy the updated appliances and furnishings, house speakers and hardwood flooring to ensure your stay is luxurious and relaxing! Never run out of hot water with our new tankless gas water heater. Drift off to sleep with thoughts of sunny days and crashing waves wrapped in hotel luxury sheets and blankets on a new Sferra king size bed in the primary bedroom. Cozy full size beds in the smaller 2nd and 3rd bedrooms with new Samsung smart TV's. Wake to freshly ground espresso drinks with our Breville Barista espresso maker with steam. Thinking of a different morning refreshment? Enjoy a mimosa with freshly squeezed orange juice and perfectly chilled champagne! In the laundry room not only will you find a full-size washer and dryer; but also an extra dual beverage/wine fridge so everyone can store their choice of libation and at the temperature they desire. Command entertainment, check weather, and adjust the thermostat via the Control4 touch panel. Need to work? We have that covered too, with free high speed internet and a desk for your convenience.

Your family is sure to cherish the saltwater and sugar highs you shared in our beloved beach cottage! Create wonderful memories in our fully-stocked kitchen that opens to a cozy living area and furnished patio while your fur babies romp in the fenced yard. Or steps away at our community saltwater pool (now heated in the winter months) roasting marshmallows at the fire pit or barbecuing at the large gas grill. All the boxes checked to please every person and pet in your party!

Experience sunny days on the beach with our complementary beach chairs, umbrella, wagon, and cooler. Rent bikes or golf cart to cruise 30A and easily access all the shops and restaurants at Gulf Place, Blue Mountain, Grayton Beach, Seaside and more! Head to nearby Stinky's Fish Camp for breakfast or dinner for the area's best oysters.

Great stay

This was a really beautiful home and an amazing stay. Very family / dog friendly and the pool was an easy walk from the home. The beach is about a 15-20 min walk , which wasn’t bad because I needed the exercise. Overall I enjoyed my vacation!

Exceptional property

Very clean, well appointed home; exceptionally responsive host. Nice location in a small well manicured and quiet enclave walkable to the beach and within easy drives of restaurants, parks and hiking paths. If having more than one adult couple or guests, be aware that, as described, the guest beds are only doubles and that the stairs to the second floor might be too steep for older people. Overall one of the best places we've stayed.

This was the perfect location for our girl's trip. The house was very clean and had all up-to-date appliances and everything we needed (i.e. towels, chairs, umbrellas) for a day at the beach. The intercom/ media system in the kitchen was definitely a plus and one of our favorite amenities!!

Great place to stay

This home was perfect to rent for our stay at the beach. Less than 10 min golf cart ride to the beach and the pool was located just a short walk. Everything was as expected per the description on VRBO. We even rode the golf cart to Watercolor and Seacrest. Our beach vacation was awesome and coming home each day to this perfect home was a blessing. The host Kandace was very easy to communicate with and would definitely stay again. No issues what so ever. This home is located in a very nice small neighborhood and was very quiet.

This is a a lovely beach cottage with all the amenities. We even brought our beloved Sheppy. He loved the fenced in backyard and the dog cover for the furniture. Be sure to read all the helpful tips, Kandace provides-the best dining, must see places. She really is a great host. We plan to return to this house in the future! Love it! We opted for the golf cart. It was a really great decision.We hope you and your family enjoy it as much as we did.

Relaxing first family vacation

We had a perfect vacation in late March. The property was impeccably clean, kitchen is stocked with everything needed to cook meals, beach equipment available to use (chairs, wagon, umbrella, beach towels), bedrooms very comfortable for good night sleep after busy days in the sun. The fenced backyard and deck was perfect to relax as the kid(s) napped. Location was perfect for our family - community pool with grill only a few houses away and not crowded, beach located a few minutes down the road by car/golf cart and was pristine and not crowded. Would recommend golf cart rental as this made getting around the area towns and to and from beach very easy (and fun). Definitely recommend this property. We hope to rent it again next year!

WONDERFUL! 🤩

Everything about staying here was wonderful. Such a cute house in such a great neighborhood. Great restaurants nearby with pristine white sand CLEAN beaches. This place has literally everything you need for a beach vaca - chairs, beach towels, etc. Kitchen amenities were top notch and the beds so comfortable. Kandace was incredibly helpful and responsive. Having access to the golf cart was key to easily getting around the area. Being able to bring our beloved Duke was a highlight as he enjoyed his stay just as much as we did. The fenced in back yard made it so easy. Can’t wait to return - sooner rather than later. Definitely ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Great Stay!

Stayed here with my small family last week & it was a lovely stay. Very communicative & accommodating property manager, Kandace, who had excellent suggestions for us. The location is convenient to locations on the Western end of 30A & the fenced in yard was perfect for the fur baby that we brought along. The property was very clean w/ luxury vinyl floors and modern with plenty of extras. Clean comfy sheets and fluffy towels, including the provided beach towels. The appliances were all updated and worked great (we didn't use the fridge water dispenser or ice, so I can't speak that those). There was quite a variety of beach equipment (toys, chairs, carts, umbrella), and it was SO NICE to not have to rent or pack those items. We also rented the terrific golf cart at a reasonable price from the owner which made it easy to get ice cream :) This property does back up to a road, but even during a holiday week, street noise wasn't problematic. The deck is mostly shaded by a large tree, which is great to have on sunny days. Used the pool daily and although it's not huge, there was plenty of space (if there were people there at all). Cute little community with a old school 30A feel. I'd suggest a trip over to Topsail Hill Preserve beach... it's not the easiest to get to, but was breathtaking. We've stayed in the area a few times now, and this rental did not disappoint. Highly recommend.

Lovely Cottage and Neighborhood!

I can not say enough great things about this house and Kandace! Lovely, quiet neighborhood and a great location for all we wanted to do on 30A. The golf cart is a wonderful addition and makes cruising to the beach and along 30A so easy and fun. The house was VERY well stocked. Good quality pots, pans, baking sheets, dishes, knives, etc. Much nicer than your typical VRBO rental and plenty of everything you need. All the beds/bedding were very comfortable. As stated in the description, the two extra rooms are smaller but are cozy. Our teenage sons had no complaints! The house was also very nicely equipped for our dog. They provided bowls, a bed, couch covers, extra leashes, and baby gates. So thoughtful and something you do not find in many PF rentals. Another thing I appreciated was the Dyson vacuum! I know that won't matter to some but it was definitely a nice bonus in my opinion. They really have thought of everything with this rental. The only thing that would make this house better than it already is would be a covered back deck. Unfortunately, it was very rainy the week we were there so the only place we could hang outside was on the front porch and it is only big enough for two people. We had a wonderful stay and highly recommend this rental. We will be back!

Perfect Get-Away Destination

This property was just perfect for our family of 3 (and our little dog too) - very clean, comfortable amenities, everything we needed to hit the beach and local destinations. The neighborhood was VERY quiet and easy driving distance to multiple public beaches. The community pool was clean and comfortable, we basically had it all to ourselves. Great experience, we’ll be back.

We had a great week with our 8 month old daughter’s first time at the beach (and vacation). The house was in a perfect spot that wasn’t too crowded, but it was close enough you can be at gulf place in minutes. Lexi was very helpful and communicated whenever needed, very easy to work with. The house itself had everything you need for your vacation. It was a great stay 10/10!

Proximity to one of the world's most beautiful, alluring and relaxing beaches!

What makes this property unique

Saltwater High may not be gulf front, but we are close enough to hear the waves and breathe the salt air. 10 minute walk to the beach off 30A, but without all the commotion.
