About this property
5 Mins to Beach, Shared Pool, Covered Deck, Bikes | Heron Cottage by AvantStay
ABOUT THE HOME: Greetings from Heron Cottage! This charming Emerald Coast escape welcomes you with beach-inspired interior decor and modern amenities. From the comfortable living area to the fully equipped kitchen, your crew will feel right at home. Fire up the grill for an evening BBQ and enjoy outdoor living on one of three porches, each adorned with seating areas. Three bedrooms await, including a primary suite and a bunk room, while a sleeper sofa provides plenty of room for everyone.
ABOUT THE AREA: The best of both worlds: be on the Gulf, walkable to the famous Red Bar (wait for the buzzer while relaxing on the covered porch) or Western Lake for paddle boarding. And if shopping is your thing, you have plenty in Grayton Beach, Seaside and Watercolor as well as farmers markets in both Watercolor and Seaside. The community also has a pool close by for your enjoyment! Heron Cottage is also just 250 yards from the free tram, with free parking and a 2-minute shuttle to the beach for added convenience.

If you want access to winding trails amongst the massive dunes, strolling along a coastal dune lake as well as a stunning beach with all the facilities, then this is a perfect option. There's a small entry fee for day use at 357 Main Park Road, Santa Rosa Beach, FL 32459

This region takes a relaxed approach to oceanfront living, with boutique shops and local seafood on every main street.
