The Good Life - Great Rates, Renovated, Pool/Porch/5Mn Walk to Set Up on Beach

Note that someone at least 25 years old must be staying at this property throughout the entire booking and, although we personally enjoy pets, no pets are allowed in the cottage because we have family and guests with severe pet allergies.

Imagine settling into a lovely cottage with a large covered fully-furnished porch, less than a minute walk from a big community pool, and an easy 5 minute walk to a deeded beach access where you can relax and set up your beach gear - all at a reasonable rate.


With an average of 10 out of 10 ratings from over 90 guests, it's quite safe to say that you'll be very happy with the cottage! You may be wondering why we can offer great rates even though the Good Life is beautifully renovated and fully equipped to feel like a beach home rather than a rental. There is no catch or downside - that's why over 50% of our guests are repeat guests. We offer great rates because we simply take pride in sharing our cottages and making high-quality vacations available to guests so that they can make memories with the friends and family they love - and love makes the world go 'round, right? We want our guests to walk into the cottages and immediately think "Wow, we sure are lucky we found this place!" And, as you'll read in the reviews, we take very good care of our guests.


LOCATION, LOCATION, LOCATION. This gem of a 3-bedroom, 2-bath cottage is located at the Cottages at Camp Creek, a small, quiet, peaceful-even-during-peak-seasons, family-friendly coastal community of charming Old Florida style cottages with tin roofs and large covered front porches - perfect for relaxing any time of year. Nestled in the sand lush native dune environment with sand oaks and palmettos and far from fast food, high-rises, and highways, this cottage is only 200 yards (4-5 minute walk) from an uncrowded Blue Wave certified beach (which means it is clean and well managed) known for high dunes, white sand, and emerald water where you can relax and set up your beach gear. Good Life Cottage is so close to the beach and our deeded beach access, there is no need for shuttles, golf carts, or parking (which is quite limited during peak seasons). In addition to our deeded beach access, the cottage is only 1/3 mile (15 minute walk) from a public beach access as well. The cottage has two private parking spaces next to the cottage (which makes it easy when carrying items between your car and the cottage).


Located along Scenic 30A (a 15-mile winding beach road), this spacious and sunny one-story cottage is in a prime location, just steps from the pristine 7500 square foot pool yet not right on top of the pool so you can enjoy quiet and privacy on your large fully-furnished front porch that looks over a peaceful little yard surrounded by pretty native plants and trees. There's no need to stay inside on a rainy afternoon because you can eat, drink, read, play games, and do puzzles on the porch, It's great to have the pool close by, especially on days when the ocean is too rough for swimming. As you can see from the location map, Good Life Cottage is also one of the larger one-story cottages and is one of the closest cottages to the beach, with the Timpoochee Trail - a 17-mile paved walking, running and biking trail - across the street.


With over 20 years of experience, we've learned what guests need and want for a high-quality and carefree vacation. A travel writer who stayed at our cottages for a wedding wrote a newspaper article saying that the cottage is "tastefully decorated with many personal touches and immaculate."


Furnished in a casual and modern beach cottage style, the common area and king bedroom open to a large porch furnished as an outdoor room with a dining area, as well as a comfortable seating area by a small private yard with a private gas grill. The living room (with large flat screen smart TV for streaming), dining area, and fully-equipped kitchen have hardwood floors, and plenty of comfortable seating for relaxing, reading or watching movies, playing games, and doing puzzles together. Of course, we provide free wireless Internet.


The renovated kitchen features natural warm wood cabinets, quartz countertops, stainless steel appliances, and ample storage. The cabinets and drawers are filled with plenty of dishes, glasses, silverware, cookware, and more (including a crockpot, waffle maker, electric grill, toaster, blender) and colorful plastic beachy plates, bowls, and glasses. You'll have everything you need to feed 2 or 12 people! There is a full-size dishwasher, washer, and dryer at the cottage.


When you want time alone, retreat to the privacy of your bedroom decorated in a charming seaside style. The bedrooms are comfortably furnished with high-quality fresh cotton quilts, smart TVs for streaming, and full length room-darkening drapes for our guests who like to sleep in or take a sweet nap in the afternoon. One bedroom has a king bed and a private travertine-tiled bathroom with shower/tub combination. Another has a queen bed and twin bed, and another has two twin beds that can be kept separate or put together to serve similar to a king-size bed. There is a second bathroom with a full bath/shower.


For your peace of mind, it's good to know that the Good Life uses a professional laundry service that provides fresh, clean, and professionally laundered bed linens, including, white microfiber quilts with each new reservation. These quilts are designed for comfort and are laundered according to professional-grade, CDC-approved standards. The program aims to provide guests with a consistently clean and sanitary bedding experience.


We have many repeat guests because our guests appreciate the extra touches and attention to detail that we provide in our cottages, We include beach chairs and plenty of puzzles, games, books and more for the youngest to oldest guests. We know that being able to stay organized provides peace of mind when on vacation, so we also make it easy for our guests to stay organized by providing plenty of hooks on the walls in the bedrooms, bathrooms, and hallway; renovated closets with hanging spaces as well as cubbies for easy storage, and hampers in the bedrooms. We know these types of details matter, especially when travelling with families.

We go above and beyond to ensure that our guests feel relaxed, comfortable, and happy when at the cottage - and know that we are available to answer questions or help quickly if needed. The following feedback from a guest reflects how our guests feel at the cottage:


'Just wanted to let you know what a great time we had at 'Ahhh, The Good Life'...It was nice to take the time and recharge. We brought work with us from the office and just threw the laptop and briefcases in the closet the moment we unpacked and then tossed them back in the car when we left! Much more fun to figure out origami and do puzzles. The pressing order of each day was whether to go to the pool or beach before lunch...We'll definitely return and tell our friends about your fabulous place. Thanks!' '


Available year-round. Large enough for multigenerational families, yet cozy enough for couples to enjoy special time alone together. Perfect for friends travelling together as well.

At least one guest booking and staying at the cottage must be at least 25 years old because this is a family-friendly community. No smoking.
