The Cozy Cottage at the Beach: Walkable Fun and Gulf Breezes Await

This charming stand-alone cottage may be compact, but it’s big on personality and perfectly positioned for laid-back days on the coast. Located just across a two-lane street from the Gulf, this pet-friendly retreat offers easy beach access and local flavor within walking distance.

Ideal for up to four guests, the home features two queen beds and one full bathroom, with essentials like a washer and dryer and a kitchenette equipped for simple meals and snacks. While there’s no dishwasher, you’ll find everything you need for an easygoing stay.

Kick back in the lounge area with a wall-mounted Smart TV and free WiFi, or head out to the spacious private deck—perfect for slow mornings with coffee or relaxed evenings under the sky.

When you're ready to explore, a marked pedestrian crosswalk takes you directly to the public beach access just steps away. After a day by the shore, stroll over to the nearby convenience store, grab a bite at the pizzeria, or enjoy a scoop of local ice cream in season. Don’t miss the fresh seafood market for a true taste of the coast.

This sweet cottage welcomes one well-behaved dog under 20 lbs (pet fee applies). Guests must be 25 or older to rent. Non-smoking property. Monthly rentals welcome.

Please note: The upstairs apartment is rented separately.
The vacation home is air-conditioned and features a kitchen and a patio, and there's space to spread out with a separate bedroom. Guests can enjoy a Smart TV and stay connected with free WiFi. Other standard amenities include a washing machine, a coffee maker, and an ironing board.

Amazing Location, Amazing Property

I came with my friends, and we absolutely enjoyed the property! The location to the beach was something I cannot even explain! You are literally a one minute walk to the beach. The property was gorgeous, clean, and matched up just to the listing! 100% would rent again!

Great location

This building is in a great location to use the beach & is dog friendly. However it could use some TLC inside & out. We loved the spacious deck.

Peaceful getaway

Overall the stay was amazing, i wasn't aware it was a 2 apartment house. Im not sure if i overlooked that in the listing. Also the property would be above and beyond if the backyard was cared for and maintained. We had an issue with plumbing but the owner was there pretty fast which was pleasant. Will definitely come back and stay again.

Good place for a couple or small family

We enjoyed our stay. I would have like to have seen the back yard cleaned up better than it was. Being dog friendly, the back yard needed some work. The brush was grown up and left my pup with black needles all in his fur. Also beware of the sand spurs.

Review

Check in was easy and company had excellent communication. House was clean and the size was good for a short getaway. I will warn there is no hood above the oven so when cooking I recommend opening the doors and turning the fans on. I also recommend bringing your own blankets if you get easily cold. There are light holes under the doors from seals being busted over time so we did have issues with some cockroaches coming in… Overall it held its purpose of a short getaway close to the beach and price matched the value.
