A large wraparound porch welcomes you, offering a comfortable seat for the daily concert of chirping birds and cicadas. The tranquility continues inside with a décor draped in aquamarine, driftwood, and ivory. In the main living area, a banquette table invites you to dine near the cozy brick fireplace or sink into the nearby oversized sofa. A beautiful kitchen completes the space with marble counters, custom cabinets and stainless appliances. Comfortably sleeping 8 guests, Olive's Cottage is perfect for one or two families. The community offers two pools plus a nature trail which leads to a small dock and creek that flows into Western Lake. Should you want to leave your woodland nest, a short walk or bike ride will take you to many of the area's most popular destinations, including the Seagrove beach access. You're also centrally located to explore the neighboring communities of Seaside, WaterColor, and Grayton Beach.

Hi There,
We are delighted to hear to you throughly enjoyed your stay with us at Olive's Cottage- It truly is a wonderful home tucked within the Seagrove Beach Community on 30A. We hope to hopefully have you back sometime soon!
Beautiful home! Great amenities. We are coffee lovers and the host provided a Keurig machine. It was lovely having morning coffee on the porch each day. The location was ideal. It is within walking distance to a grocery store, the beach and a host of restaurants.
Perfect rental for a family of 6. Comfortable, great neighborhood, convenient.

We stayed at the home during Spring Break. The home is absolutely stunning, exactly as described, with convenient access to beach and two pools steps away from the home. The gated community is quiet, peaceful, and in a great location! We enjoyed our stay so much that we plan to stay here again. I highly recommend this property, and the host was great as well!
We enjoyed the house so much!! It was clean and well stocked and beds were very comfortable. TV's were in all the rooms and there were 4 bikes which was perfect. The location and neighborhood was great. Would love to stay there again!!

We enjoyed our stay at Olives cottage. Conveniently located with a short bike ride to the beach. The beds were comfortable and perfect for our group.
The cottage did not have a tea pitcher, but soon the management company delivered one to us. You need sweet tea on vacation!

Hi Barbara, we are very happy we were able to assist with your sweet tea needs! LOL. And we are glad you loved the home as well. Thank you again for staying with us, and we can't wait to welcome you back to the beach. See you next time! ~ The 30A Cottages Family
Everything was awesome - place was clean when we arrived and very comfortable! Close to the beach and seaside! The only minor complaint that we have would be not enough hand towels (only 3) and no hand soap was provided for the bathrooms! Other than that it was perfect!

Hi Steven, thank you so much for your feedback. We are sorry your stay was not perfect, but very happy to hear that you had a wonderful time. Thank you! ~ The 30A Cottages Team
The overall property was clean and in a great location period our main concern was safety due to the front door Not locking or closing properly but was promptly attended to. We would suggest putting on the refrigerator the trash pickup days so we know when to put the trash out as we missed it today. Overall our favorite stay out of last several years. Thank you
Check in started off a bit rocky, I had been messaging through the app for a day and not received a response. 2 mins prior to check in I text and received instructions back via text with gate and house code. This stressed me out because I like to have clear directions way before arrival. Gate code did not work, we had to reach out and be given another one. Wifi password did not work and we had to reach out for another one. We were told the dishwasher was not working and someone would be there to fix it Monday, so obviously we did not use it. On Monday a guy came to replace the garbage disposal, and said the dishwasher was fine. The freezer was broken- it would not open all the way and was loose, so we reported that, and could not store our ice we bought. At first I did not understand that I was using VRBO but it was still going through another rental agency also, which was kind of confusing. Aside from a couple of minor hiccups with incorrect info communicated, everything went well. The house was lovely, and perfect for our group. There was a beautiful and spacious front porch. Distance to the beach was not too far, although we did elect to drive most days to transport our chairs easily. We enjoyed the bikes, they were in good shape. The house was extremely clean, which is probably the most important thing to me in a rental! We never used the pools, so I cannot comment on them. We will definitely return!
Very nice house tucked away in a quaint neighborhood shaded by trees. Short bike ride straight to beach or the main area in Seaside. We all enjoyed it.

Thank you for the review! Please come visit us again soon!
Property is located in a quiet tucked away neighborhood a short 10 minute walk from beach. Property was clean, nicely decorated with all needed amenities. One thing to note, beach toys and chairs are not provided. This wasn’t a problem (and was never stated they came with them) we are just used to going to beach houses that unexpectedly have them, so we started to expect to be able to use some things. Neighborhood has two pools that are well maintained which we all enjoyed after our beach visits.
